Individual Details

I seriously doubt that Thomas Prather, b. 4 Jan 1807 NC son of Thomas Prather and Rachel Gaither married Mary James on 27 Oct 1817 in Rowan Co., NC when he was only 10 years old! I suppose that another Thomas Prather (I cannot conjecture who) was the groom of Mary James in 1817. He did indeed marry his cousin Mary Prather, daughter of William Prather and Lettice McCarroll in 1830 in Jennings Co., IN. They evidently settled in Clark Co. by 1850, because the 1850 census of Utica Twp., Clark Co. lists the children in the household of Thomas and Mary Prather. -- Charles Jacobs
