Stories and 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.

Died:
He died while traveling between his manors at Laton and at Eaton Water
Records state that George died "enterstate". It is believed by some that he died while working at Nunney.

Buried:
He was buried in his church at Latton, Wiltshire. His tomb is under the floor of the church in the 7th aisle. People of this period in history believed that they would surely go to heaven if they were buried in the church. Only the wealthiest co uld afford a place in the church.

George married Jane Plott in 1534 in Shefford Magna, Wiltshire, England, United Kingdom. Jane (daughter of Sir Richard Plott and Alice Geraldine Mallot) was born in 1515 in Blewberry Manor, Blewbury, Berkshire, England, United Kingdom; died on 5 Feb 1587 in Village Latton, Cricklade, Wiltshire, England, United Kingdom; was buried on 5 Feb 1587 in Latton Manor, Village Latton, Cricklade, Wiltshire, England, United Kingdom.

Notes:

Birth:
Blewberye (Blueberry)
Jane Plott was from Blueberry Manor, Blueberry, Berkshire, England. The manor of Blueberry (Bluebury) was once in the holdings of Gerald of Windsor. For this reason I believe that the Plott family were descended from the Geraldine lines.

Buried:
Jane Plott's husband, George Prater came into possession of other properties of Latton, Wiltshire, England, from the heirs of the Earl of St. German (Ellis). Latton, Wiltshire, England, is recorded as belonging to Reinbold de Presbyter (Prater) , the first Chancelor of England after the Norman conquest (1066).
