Notes - Jane Plott was from Blueberry Manor, Blueberry,Berks.
The manor of Blueberry (Bluebury) was once in the holdings of Gerald of
Windsor. For this reason I believe that the Plott family were descended
from the Geraldine lines.
Other Geraldine lines include Carew, Fitzgerald, Fitzsteven, Fitzwarren,
Fitzwalter, Fitzhugh, Marshall and many others.
Jane Plotts husband, George Prater came into possession of other properties
of Latton, Wiltshire from the heirs of the Earl of St.German (Ellis).
Latton,Wilts. is recorded as belonging to Reinbold de Presbyster (Prater)
the first Chancelor of England after the Norman conquest (1066).
Reinbold de Presbyter (the Elder) (Prater) was a powerful Lord who was well
established in England before the Norman conquest, he was also a priest of
Noble linage. The noble priest of this period in history were usually of a
fighting class of man who had right to hold arms and had their own army, such
was the case with Rienbold. He also held the Manor of Frome in Somerset which
was located next to the Manor of Nunney.
The name Prater was the Angelican version of the latin word Presbyter.
Presbyter,Prater, The Elder, Praetor, Praetorian was a class of people of
early Roman times who were Magistrates, Justices, and Learned Men whose
position was usually inherited and passed down in the family.
It is beleived that a descendant of this class was attached to the Norman and
English Crowns and held their power though their connection with the Church.
Our Prater family is beleived to have descended from this class of people.
The Praters of England held such positions of power though out the country,
both of the Crown and Church.
