Individual Details

Rev. John Madison PRATHER

(Calc 1852 - 1916)

Florida Death Index, 1877-1998 (Ancestry,com) indictes he died in 1916, and was white.

The research on this individual has been mixed. An 1870 Hamilton Co., FL Census seems to indicate he was black, but the Florida Death Index indicates he was white. All of the research indicates he was part of the Prather family that moved from Columbia Co., GA to Hamilton Co., FL.
