Individual Details
Joseph Benjamin PRATOR
(26 Nov 1889 - May 1963)
We have a problem here. I have him marrying twice -- first to Mattie A. Bryant in 1911, having one child; secondly to Erne Simpson in 1918, having two children. Unfortunately, we now have two different 1930 Census, one with each wife. Either he was a bigamist, or we're dealing with two different Ben Prators in Cass Co., TX at the same time.
