Hi,My bunch of Ater family was in Vernon County MO at that time near Nevada and then in 1890s they moved to Webb City MO,Jasper Co.There were several Ater lines in MO and most of them went by Ater but some from a certain brother went by Ator.If you can give me a little more in location or date wise I may be able to help you.There is a large Ater family from Pickaway and Ross Co. Ohio that have reunions often.My line goes back to Thomas, son of George Eader/Eder or Ater that settled in Pickaway Co. Ohio in 1799.He had many sons and they spread west.Thomas went to Piatt Co. IL and from there Eli a grand son went to Vernon Co. MO also George a grandson of the original George went towards KS.
Eli traveled with Felix Watson and his wife Amelia Ater Watson if my memory is correct.She was a daughter of George Ater and Hannah Watts --I really need to pull the file on this as it has been a while.
