Notes:

He is recorded in the Hempstead Co., Ark. "History of Ark."
He is shown as M.C.Prather.......... the "M" may have been a typo or he may
have had the name William M. Columbus Prather ....... other records also show
him as William M.C. Prather and M.C.Prather.

He was a staunch member of the Royal Arch Masons.

The name "Marion" is a name which is used often in this branch as well as
other branches of the family............ his full name may have been
William Marion Columbus Prather ?????
Additional research is required, but we may never know if the "M" was a
"nick name" or his birth name.

In the 1850 Elbert Co., Ga. census his sister Catherine "Kate" M. Prather
was living in his household. She is listed at age 21.

Notes:

From the Hempstead Co. "History of Arkansas" - published before 1880

He received a fairly good education in the public schools of his native State,
and upon reaching the age of Eighteen yrs, began working for himself at the
carpenter's trade, but gave this up in 1861 to join the Confed. Army, becoming
a member of Co. A, Fourteenth Ala. Reg., under Longstreet and Hill. He became
1st. Lieutenant as a non-commissioned officer, and was in the engagements
at Williamsburg and the evacuation of Yorktown. He was also in the seven days'
fight around Richmond, Malvern Hill, Sharpsburg, Antietam, Gettysburg,
Chancellorsville (where he was wounded in the thigh and arm), the Wilderness
(receiving a wound in the shoulder and breast), and besides participated in
other skirmishes. He surrendered with Hill's division at Appomattox Court
House. After the war he spent three years in Ala., engages in farming, then
the following year resided in Mississippi, after which he came to Arkansas in
1870, and until 1888 resided a short distance north of his present home. His
land is reasonably productive, and he has a comfortable and happy home.
His marriage to Miss Mary Brooks, of Georgia, took place in July, 1865.
