      --------------------

      Reginald Prather was a Revolution War Soldier.
      He signed "Oath of Fidelity", 1778 in Washington Co., Maryland.
      He was listed living in Washington Co., Maryland in the 1790 census
      but is listed Oct., 1805 living near Maysville, Mason Co., Ky. and is
      recorded in Mason Co., Ky. in Will Book #B ;389 ;402, "wife Rachel" Milly
      and Ross Prather named in settlement.
      Reginald may have been named after his maternal grandfather, Reginald O'Dell

      When Reginald was grown, he moved westward from Montgomery Co., Md. near
      Rockville, to that part of western Frederick Co., Md. that later became
      Washington Co., Md. He was living there in 1778 (ref. Gaius M. Brumbaugh's
      REVOLUTIONARY RECORDS OF MARYLAND, part 1, p.19)
      Shortly after 1790 he moved to Mason Co., Ky where he settled near Maysville.
      The 1796 Mason Co., Ky. Tax List show: Rignal Prather, John Prather and
      Aeneas Prather.
      In 1797 Rignal Prather, John Prather, and Henry A. Prather were taxed in Mason
      Co., Ky.
      Riginald's Will was written 30 Dec., 1815 (Will Book # D ;27)
      (also ref.: Prince George Co., Maryland Deeds, Liber TT, F, 555.)
