Story contributed by Bill J Atherton of Durant, Oklahoma

First - Martin Atherton was the son of William Paschal Atherton who was the son of Richard Paschal Atherton (my great granddad) who was the son of Charles Malcom Atherton (my great great granddad). Martin and Opal have both passed away now.
Second - William Paschall Atherton had 2 brothers, Perry Herman Atherton (my granddad) and Acie Earnest Atherton, and 2 sisters, Florence Atherton and Ellen Atherton. Not sure about a third sister who burned to death at 2 years old.
Third - So if Martin Atherton remembered his dad William Paschall Atherton (the son of Richard Paschall Atherton) telling about his grandfather having a dispute over a fence line that would had to have been Charles Malcom Atherton.S1 Charles Malcom Atherton (not sure of cause) in Kentucky Bet. 1870 - 1880.
Have attached a photo of Atherton men in my lineage from Charles Malcom Atherton to current. The initial W. should be M. in Charles. (sent to S2)

    Correspondence from Martin & Opal Atherton

    Dear Sir,

    Received your letter today and wish that we could help you, but Martin is the last of his family and we had no records from the earlier ancestors. All we can provide is: his father was William Paschall (may be misspelled – but sounds like Paskal) Atherton and his mother was Roberta Martin. He had a brother and 3 sisters (one burned to death at 2 years old). He says he remembers a story his Dad told about his Dad, Martin’s grandfather – in a dispute over a fence line, (boundry, I guess) and the other adjoining farmer had 3 big sons. A day or so after the argument, the grandfather was working in the field, alone – near said fence – and these 3 boys came over and hacked him to death with the hoe’s. He’s not sure, but he thinks that was in Kentucky.

    (We are 76 and 78)

    Sincerely,

    Martin & Opal Atherton
