Do you know of Prather's Creek ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Prather's Creek. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Prather's Creek.<1>

Our sources for Prather's Creek (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Prather's Creek other than they indicate that Prather's Creek would be found somewhere in Alleghany County, North Carolina.
