Hi, Cuz:

I'm trying to make a connection between my great grandfather, James Gipson Prather
of Wilkes Co., GA and Texas Prathers which are known (or rumored) to be relatives. If
you go back another generation, is there any connection to the Georgia Prathers?

Also, the story of John Prather sounds interesting. I'd like to get some more details.

Thanks,

Jerry Prather
