Individual Details
William J. PRATHER
(8 Nov 1806 - Aft 1833)
The online genealogies variously show him as:
(1) William Prather, son of Cyron Prather & Elizabeth Williams
(2) William "Skipjack" Prather (1766-1858), son of Basil Prather & Chlorinda Robertson. This is chronologically impossible -- he would have been 64 in 1830, but the Census that year shows William as 25-30.
(3) William G. Prather (b.1806), son of Walter Prather & Nancy Ann Higgins [PREFERRED]
(4) William Gaither Prather (1802-1851), son of Thomas Prather & Rachel Gaither
(5) William G. Prather, son of Robert Prather & Elizabeth Horton.
I just had my DNA done by Ancestry.com. It indicates that William J Prather is the son of Walter Prather and Nancy Higgins. -- Martha Fontenot
