Hi Karen, I have done some limited research on the PRATER family that you mentioned. Here is what I have: Francis C. PRATER married Ann C. KENNEY on April 21, 1853 in Clarke County, Georgia. They had two children, William Lucas, born April 18, 1854 and Hugh N., born in 1856. William Lucas married Susan Victoria KENNEY on November 8, 1874 in Clarke County. Hugh married Mamie SMITH. Ann PRATER was enumerated in the 1860 Clarke County census along with William and Hugh. Francis PRATER was NOT enumerated in the 1860 census or any subsequent census. I have assumed that he died after 1856 and before 1860. I did not find a Francis C. PRATER in the "Roster of the Confederate Soldiers of Georgia, 1861 - 1865. I would appreciate any additional info that you might receive in regards to this family.
