Additional Curator's Notes: I have seen Ticey's name given as Letitia Christina and as Christina Letitia. She was known as Ticey, a common nickname of the time for Letitia. She appears in the census records for Floyd County, Kentucky of 1810 and 1820 with her parents. She appears in the census records for 1830, 1840, 1850, 1860, 1870 with spouse Archibald Prater. Her marriage license is dated 19 November 1829, and was issued in Morgan Co., KY. Some records show 15 children, but there appear to be duplications. The correct number is most likely 12. Archibald and Ticey moved to Salina, Kansas after the Civil War. She died there in 1872, and is buried in Gypsum Hill Cemetery, Salina, Saline County, Kansas.
