Notes:

Samual was born in Pickens or Pendleton Co., S.C., we are not sure which
because of the changes that took place with the boundries.
He went with his father to Hall Co., Ga. as a young man. Later with the
outbreak of the Civil War he went to Alabama where other members of the family
and allied families had established themselves. He married at Gunters Crossing
(a ferry crossing) which is now Guntersville, Al.

When he went to Alabama, his brothers Erb Boyd Prater and Thomas Prather went
with him, later they came to Jamestown, Smith Co., Texas where they
were listed as Confederate Soldiers. He was also a Minister and farmer.
His younger brother, Thomas was only 19 yrs. old when he died while living in
east Texas (Smith Co.) His other brother "E.B." (Erb Boyd) went back into
Arkansas where other Prater/Prather relatives had moved much earlier
(desendants of Phillp III Prater, their uncle and others), he later returned
to Smith Co., Tx.
Samuel spent the remainder of his life as a farmer in Jamestown,Smith Co.,Tx.
Other members of his family in Ark., Al., Ga., and Tenn. came into Texas.
Some of which were Praytors, of Sumter Co., Al., Praters/Prathers of Tenn.,
Prathers of Ga., and Praters/Prathers of Ark.-- also many others from various
other states as they made their way west.
One of his sons Riley Benton went North into Ark./Okla./Tx., another Soloman
Bowden and Samuel went into West Texas, near Midland and the other, John Ellis
went into N.Mex., near White Sands where he and his sons had large ranches.
Samuel had younger brothers and sisters that continued to live in Hall Co.,Ga.
and were heirs to their father Joseph's estates, except Joseph II who moved
to Texas, Okla., and then to the State of Washington.

When the Civil War began, some of the series of frontier forts aligned north
and south across the center of the state were closed becasuse of army manpower
problems. The Comanches were already on the warpath and had committed a
particularly bad massacre in Montague Co. north of Smith Co., on the Red River
As indians began raiding deeper eastward into there former lands, white
settlers had to either band together and go about their farms and fields with
guns ready, or move back east.
In addition to this threat, it may have proven premature economically to raise
and market cotton and other cash crops in the blackland soil belt before the
arrival of the railroads.
Even Smith Co., where the light, acid soil was easlily worn out by continuous
planting of the same crops, cotton was not an important cash crop until a
short-lived steamboat port, Belzora, was established on the Sabine River wher
the Tyler-Hawkins road bridge is today. After the railroad came to Smith Co.,
supplanting the river as the main bulk freight route, the land was already
largely depleted - forcing farmer to again move west or to change to other
crops.

It appears that Samuel and his brothers experienced a great reduction in
their life style compared to their anscestors. This was probably due to
the out come of the Civil War, the loss of slave labor, and the hard pioneer
life experienced in east Texas. An example of his hard life can be seen by
his early death at 49 years of age. He helped to establish Jamestown,Tx. which
is now a small community. It once was a very large comunity near Lindale, Tx.

John Prather was born in Tx. and moved with his parents to Big Springs, TX.

John A. Praher married Rose Goodman, who later inherited a large sum
of money and cattle after her father and brother died.
John began looking for land in the Otero Mesa area.
He purchased land in Otero Co., N.Mex. near Alamogrodo.
He owned a large Ranch near White Sands Missile Testing Range.
After he and his wife divorced in 1922 he concentrated his ranching
efforts on horse and mule breeding.
He sold many horses and mules to the Mexican Government.

Later as the McGregor Missile Range was developed near White Sands,
the government tried to take his Ranch. Armed with 3 guns he met three
county sheriffs at his gate. He told them that he would not give up his home.
He offered the sheriffs a compremise by offering to lease the government his
land at $1.00 an acre for life and if the sheriffs tried to remove him, he
"did'nt want to shoot anybody - but he would if he had to"!
The government refused his offer and gained his property though the courts.
The court sent him a check to cover his loss but John sent it back to them.
He continued living on the missile range for a while . He said that no
missile ever hit him or his cattle. The government didn't allowed him to stay
his family continued ranching as if nothing had happened. John became ill at
age 88 and went to stay with his niece, where he died.

Mrs. Gaba his daughter continued ranching after his death.

The check which the government sent him ($100,985) remained untouched,
drawing no interest.

John's home is now just an island in the mist of the McGregor Missile Range
of the White Sands Reservation, near Alamogordo, N.Mexico.
It now sets in what has been made a state park.
His home, a seldom used ranger station.
