1880 census of Morgan Co., Blair’s Mill precinct #5, E.D. 87, lists as family #103:
Prather, E. F., 32; Georgia, wife, 24; Alfred, son, 6; Milly, dau, 4; Christopher, son, 3; Peter, son, 2. All born in Ky.

1900 census of Rowan Co., Morehead precinct, page 21, lists as family #406:
Prater, Frank, 50, b. May 1850, farmer, married 28 years; Annie, 41, wife, b. May 1859, mother of 9 children, 8 living; Alferd, 25, son, b. Jan 1875; Millie, 23, dau, b. Feb 1877; Dickson, 20, son, b. Jan 1880; Flotina, 18, dau, b. Feb 1882; Gorman, 16, son, b. May 1884; Blaine, 15, son, b. Jan 1895; Joseph, 13, son, b. Feb 1887; William, 9, son, b. March 1891. All born Ky Ky Ky.
(The “son” Blaine was really a daughter, as evidenced by her marriage to John Pigman in 1901. There is a middle initial entered for the son William, but it is hard to read. Perhaps an A or an H. The ages for Frank and Annie are not consistent with earlier censuses. Dickson could not have been born in Jan 1880 or he would have been listed in the 1880 census. There are only 8 months between the reported birthdates of Gorman and Blaine. In short, all of the birthdates are probably entirely fictional, as is typical of this particular census,3 so I am not entering them into my database.)
