Thomas Prater born December 1604 in near Eaton Water, Wiltshire is the first Prat(h)er that cam to the "Colonies" and eventually led to my being here 358 years later. His father,Anthony born in Staunton, St Bernard, in Wiltshire around 1545 and mother Judith Ivry (or re) b abt 1550 had four children. Anthony's father George, born 1510 in Inglesham, Wiltshire married Jane Plott (b 1515) These are some of the connections to Wiltshire I have, but they are names and dates, with little history or other context. I was hoping there might be others that were working on the Praters in Wiltshire or the Quintyne, Plott, Ivry, Kingston, Scrope, Carew, Carmonow, DeLa Mere lines in this earlyer part of Wiltshire history. Thank you.
