    Stories and Notes See Notes 
    • George lived at Latton, Wiltshire, which has been in existance since before the Roman occupation of England. There are still old Roman ruins there today.

      It is believed 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 Castl e was included in this transaction which was handled by a Jack Prater. We do not know how Jack is related to the family. It's possible that "Jack" is a "nick-name" for John. Records state that Nunney was purchased out of the estate of George's f ather, John.

      George lived during the time that King Henry the Eighth created the Church of England and discontinued recognizing the Catholic Church. This was a harsh time for the Praters because they were Catholic. Most of the Christian world was Catholic a t this point in history. The Praters were taxed heavily for their religion, but because of their high social and political connections they continued to do well. Also, they were related to many other noble and titled families.
