Individual Details

!Buried in private cemetery on Prater family land, South 31st Street, Temple, Bell County, Texas.

!1870 Census, Rutherford County, Tennessee - Lists a Phillip P. Prater, age 50.
Microfilm is barely readable but names and ages of members of household appear to match those known from other sources.

!According to Ganelle Moore, "Philip Jackson Prater came to the U.S. in about 1850 (from England). Settled first in Murphreesboro, TN. The family came to Texas in about 1860 and settled on farmland near a creek about 5 miles south of Temple. Phillip and Isabella are buried on this land." (It appears the actual move to Texas may have been later since all of his children and several of his granchildren were reportedly born in TN as late as 1886; in addition, the move to America occured several generations before Philip Jackson).
