Individual Details
Elizabeth Atherton
( - 19 Feb 1710)
Note: Torrey indicated Elizabeth was not Elizabeth Atherton and that she was the former wife of William Weeks. The Great Migration, v. 5 indicates Timothy Mather's first wife was Elizabeth Atherton and his second wife Elizabeth Weeks. The First Settlers of CT and MA indicated she was Elizabeth Weeks daughter of Amiel Weeks of Dorchester and indicated she was born 18 Oct 1658. This birth year has to be incorrect -- a typo?
