This month’s subscriber-only post in GenTales on Substack provides info on one pairing that causes pedigree collapse in My Lineage from the Roots Up, vol. 2. William Musick Prater was born about 1787 in Russell Co., Virginia, to Jonathan Prater and Sarah Elizabeth (Musick) Prater. Obedience “Biddy” Prater was born about 1790-1794 in Virginia to Elizabeth Fugate and another William Prater who was thought to be Jonathan Prater’s brother. Below the cut on Substack or available for download on Ko-Fi are their children and siblings.

New in Gen Tales – A Link to the Alamo

New on Substack – A Paine to Link to the Mayflower
When working on my first lineage book, I ran across the line of Solomon Paine. The trail I followed led back to the Mayflower. However, when attempting to get verification from The Mayflower Society, I was told they didn’t have a record of the marriage I claimed so he’s a different Solomon Paine. Here’s the information and evidence I have. Maybe you can help me see what’s been missed.

Why Breast Cancer Still Eludes a Cure
Breast cancer has been known, at least in the abstract, for thousands of years — though the theory of a hormonal underpinning has only been around for about 100 years. Over recent years, different genetic tests have been developed to catch cancer early, yet mammography still remains the gold standard for screening and early diagnosis. Each year, thousands of women and hundreds of men lose the battle against this disease.
Why haven’t we come farther in this fight?
