My records show George W. Prather b. 30 Oct 1851 in Indiana d. 1914 m. 2 Feb 1872 Mary
David b. 29 Apr 1841 in Indiana d. 26 Jan 1904.
Their children were Eva M. (m. James Fisher) b. 24 May 1873 d. 19 Aug 1907 in Hendricks
County, Indiana, Thomas b. abt 1875, James H. b. Aug 1878 and John C. b. Sep 1881, all
born in Indiana (most likely Washington Township, Morgan County outside the city limits
Martinsville).
In the 1880 census, Mary reported that both of her parents were born Kentucky. In the 1900
census, Mary says she has been married 28 years and has had four children all of whom were
living (James and John lived with their parents in 1900), however, at that point says the
place of birth of her father was unknown.
In the 1880 census, Susan Prather, widow and George's mother, lives next door to
George. Susan reports both parents born North Carolina.
I have no information as to the racial heritage of Mary David.
