• Notes

  He settled in a large farm which was later named the site of Prather, GA. by the Eastern & Elberton Railroad. The railroad made it a produce stop (cotton & grain). The railroad maps listed it as "Prather" and later other map makers picked it up and indicated it on their maps as Prather, GA. Today nothing is there to indicate that Prather, GA. was ever a community, not even a sign on the highway which goes through it. In 1987 there was on small store and about 6 scattered houses mostly inhabited by black familys. Prather, GA. is located about a mile or so north of the Washington, GA. Airport (just a landing strip in 1987). Jere. moved from Maryland to Wilkes Co., GA. about 1792. Jeremiah's Will is recorded in Minutes Interior Court, Wilkes Co., GA.
