| 451 | Eve is the first woman mentioned in the Bible. She was said to be made from Adam's rib. It is said that Adam called his wife's name because she was the mother of all living. It is said that Eve bears resemblance to an Aramaic word for "snake", which makes her associated with the snake. It is Eve that was said to have encouraged Adam to eat the forbidden fruit from the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. The Jewish book "The Alphabet of Ben-Sira" says that Lilith was the first wife of Adam and created from the same dust as Adam. But Lilith refused to serve to serve Adam as she claimed they were equal. (The first women's right movement) When she was force to submit she ran away and it was said she conceived hundreds of demons and God sent 3 Angels after her. When she still refused to return to Adam God killed her and then made Eve from the rib of Adam. According to the Bible Eve and all womankind is sentenced to a life of sorrow and travail in childbirth and to be under the power of her husband. This being the case then all people after her is created from women and only Eve was created by man. It is also said that in one of the oldest neighborhoods in Jeddah lies a legend as old as time itself and one that is crumbling away into oblivion - the tomb of biblical Eve. | Eve of the Bible (I8205)

| 482 | 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. | Prater, Esquire George (I651)
