hello cousin! my name is Leah Halterman, a few years back I made the family tree books for the reunion at woodbine, maybe you have seen one floating around the family? my Grandfather was William Riley Prater, his father was Joseph Granville Prater jr, his father was Joseph Granville Prater sr.
you can search for any of my postings under LEAH1003 or email me at [email protected] I have a ton of family info, I'd love to share, add your info etc....I have not been in here to research in a few years but at one time I checked this board almost daily! I have found a few leads, I have the family gravestone pictures & I got as much information out of my grandfathers generation as possible before they all passes (all 8 of them) their father Joseph Jr was married to Mary Elizabeth Rose ( I also have some Rose family) Joseph Sr is where the problem is....I have him back to/around Pikeville Kentucky, theres another possible marriage & a whole other line of family its a mess. his name was also very common & none of (my grandparents) generation (this would be THEIR Grandparents) none of them knew them, knew anything about them but their names & even the grandmothers name is up for debate...then find all the Josephs in that area & cross refrence them with what I already know is fact & there is no record anywhere of who Josheph SR's father was at all for as much as I have searched to the ends of the earth, but its been a few years...lets share!
