Notes:

About the year 1798, his father took up a tract of land in Venango Co. Pa.;
and with his two sons, Abraham and Robert, rode from Maryland to Venango Co.
on horseback, bringing with them the necessaries of life and some of the
comforts prepared by the mother. The father remained with the boys for awhile
saw them comfortably settled in a log cabin, then left them and returned to
Maryland. During this early period the boys were oftem molested by a band of
roving Indians which occasionally ransacked their cabin and destroyed their
crops. This fact, together with the dispute between their father and the
Holland Land Co. concerning the land they occupied for several years caused
them to return to Maryland. Abraham C. Prather finally returned and purchased
the tract, built a log cabin, and ever afterward made it his home, converting
it into a well tilled farm of 250 acres situated in Cornplanter Township,
Venango Co., Pa.
He purchased additional lands on some of which was a large amount of valuable
pine timber.

During the War of 1812, he and his brother-in-law, James Rickets, walked from
Venango Co. to Erie, PA. (60 miles) where he enlisted and served during the
war, as shown by the records at Harrisburg, PA.
Mr. Prather was one of the most highly respected men of his County, ver
energetic and capable in busdiness, kind and jovial in his disposition.
