8. MILDRED3 A. ROBINSON (John2, Joseph1). She was born 4 December 1812, probably Clark County, Kentucky, and died 13 July 1886, Boyle County, Kentucky.80 Mildred was married 2 December 1850 (bond date) to JOHN PRATHER, Fayette County, Kentucky. Mildred’s brother Joseph was a bondsman. John Prather was the widowed father of Rutha (Ruthey) Prather who married Mildred’s brother Thomas B. Robinson.
John Prather was about 24 years older than Mildred; the 1860 federal census for Fayette County lists him, age 72, born in Maryland. This census indicates he was a prosperous farmer with real estate valued at $16,120 and personal property valued at $22,800. John Prather died in February of 1865, Fayette County, Kentucky.81 In his will, John provided for his second wife, Mildred, to receive a share of his estate equal to that of each of his children, a provision that she accepted in lieu of dower, which would have been one third of the estate and to which she was entitled by law. In addition, Mildred received $3,000 in the form of a note taken out in her name, and her children William G. and Betsey Kate Prather received $2,000 each in notes taken out in their names.
Mildred A. Prather was appointed in April of 1865, as guardian of her minor children, Bettie K. Prather, and William G. Prather, with Joseph and E. Robinson providing security. A. M. Roberts acted as Mildred’s Attorney-At-Law.82 The estate settlement, made in February of 1866, provided $49,700.88 to be divided among all heirs, including the widow. Each received $6,212.73. William G. Prather and Betsy Kate Prather’s guardian was named as W. B. Kinkead.83 William G. Prather, being over the age of 14, had chosen B. Kinkead as his guardian and he had been appointed guardian to Bettie Kate with her mother’s consent.84 John Prather’s children by his first wife, as named in his will, were Lloyd Prather, Rutha Robertson [Robinson], Sarah Cordry, Mary Jane Burress, and Telitha Randall.

The 1850 and 1860 federal censuses state Rutha was born in Louisiana. After Sarah died, John Prather married Mildred A. Robinson, Thomas Berry Robinson’s sister. Thomas B. Robinson and his family were in Fayette County, Kentucky in 1850 (1850 federal census); by 1860 they were living in Jessamine County, Kentucky (Nicholasville Post Office).
