George Prater lived at Latton, Wiltshire which has been in existence since before the Roman occupation of England. There are still old Roman ruins there today. Gary Benton Prather (family historian) believes that George was the Reeve of Nunney, Somerset, working under his cousin Sir William Paulet. George later purchased the holdings of Nunney from his cousin in a tax deal, which kept the Manor of Nunney in the family. Nunney Castle was included in this transaction which was handled by a Jack Prater. We do not know how Jack is related to the family. It is possible that Jack was the nickname for John. This was a very common nickname that was used in those days. Records state that Nunney was purchased out of the estate of Georges father John. George lived during the time that King Henry the Eighth created the Church of England and discontinued recognition of the Catholic Church. This was a harsh time for the Praters as they were Catholic. The Praters were heavily taxed for their religion, but because of their high social and political connections they continued to do well. Also they were related to other noble and titled families. George died "interstate". He was buried in his church at Latton, Wiltshire. His tomb is under the floor of the church in the seventh isle. The name Prater was the Anglican version of the Latin word Presbyter, Presbyter, Prater, The Elder, Praetor, Praetorian was a class of people of early Roman times who were magistrates, justices, and learned men whose position was usually inherited.
