Notes for Mary MCKAY
Broderbund WFT vol 4 Ed., tree #2999 Date of imported Aug. 15, 1998
Wife of Thomas Prather/Prater.
Some members of the family (in earlier times-1960's) used the name McKay to gain membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) but indications are that her name may have been Powell. Records have not been found that tell us her true name. Research continues
Powell was a variation of Powelett (Paulet) a family that had been allied to the Praters in England for generations. Re: Lord St. John, William Paulet of Nunney, Somerset. Praters bought Nunney Castle from their cousin Wn. Oaulet.
