Hi Dan, Very interesting indeed! I've not followed the Prather line once they 'entered' my direct ancestors so don't know how yours fit into mine. James ODELL married Martha PRATHER in 1747 likely in Queen Anne's Parish, Prince George's, MD James was born 12 Jul 1731 to Thomas PRATHER and Margaret BEALL, according to the St. Barnabas Church Parish records. Martha was born 20 Apr 1730 to John Smith PRATHER and Elizabeth NUTHALL, also in Queen Anne's Parish, Prince George's, MD. I've not done much work on them, but believe that Martha died about 1790 in SC; not sure about James. Any connections? Always fun to meet cuzns, however distant ;) all the best, Beth ********* Dan wrote: Interesting, I have some Odell and Prather. Wonder how those 2 names got together. Prather in Oregon were in the logging after the great migration. Dan
Sorry that I hadn't read the most recent digest before sending the reply to Dan. Alli, as I wrote in my reply to Dan, my direct line were MD to SC Kathy, that's great that you too have Prathers! Does your Robert Allen Prather connect to John Smith Prather and his wife Elizabeth Nuthall? all the best, Beth On Tue, May 12, 2015 at 3:18 AM, Beth Golden <gramssearch4family@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Dan, > Very interesting indeed!
