G.W.L.Prather must have died in 1858/9 because his wife was shown
head of household in the 1860 cenus.
G.W.L. Prather purchased land in Elbert Co., GA. just before 1860 and
it was sold 1 year later due to tax claims..... G.W.L. Prather must
have died shortly after purchasing this land and must have died
or was killed while returning home to the Dalton, GA. area.
1880 census Clinton, Bosque Co., TX. his wife was listed as a widow, thus
George died before 1880. In 1860 GA. census she was also shown as
