Thank you for letting me view your family tree. Unfortunately, I didn't find anyone familiar in there at all. There were 2 Catherine Prathers in your index, but neither were close to mine in locations or years, or the marriage of one. I was hoping for a match, as I have indeed seen a lot of activity in the Prather research boards, but I appear to still be at that brick wall. I first posted in this forum 2-3 years ago, but yours is the first reply I'd gotten, so again, thank you very much for the info you offered.
Just for the record, which I should have included in my most recest post request, here is Catherine's immediate family (her husband and children), which is the only information I have about her:
