Enoree, Laurens Co, SC The citation granted "Henereta" Prather and Middleton Brashear on 24 Sep 1767, to administer on the Estate and Effects of Philip Prather, late of Enoree, Planter, decd, identifies Henrietta as the widow and Middleton Brashear as a brother-in-law of Philip Prather (Brent H. Holcomb, Probate Records of South Carolina, v.3, p.45)

It's not known what happened to Henrietta (Brashear) Prather after her husband's passing. She was still a relatively-young woman (about 31 or 32 years old) and it's very possible she re-married in South Carolina; the name change would have made locating her in subsequent records difficult. The exact date and place of her death is not known.
