1769 - ????
Daughter of Richard Atherton, a woollen draper from Preston, and his wife Mary. Inherited 拢3000 from her father Richard (d. 1804, secured on his Jamaica estates) and a further 拢2,000 from her brother Edward (d. 1821, secured on Green Park and Spring Vale in Jamaica).
Her father Richard had expected to inherit a half-share in Green Park and Spring Vale on the death of his brother John. In fact, Richard predeceased John so the 拢8,000 Richard bequeathed to each of his daughters, secured on Green Park and Spring Vale, was never passed to her.
Still alive and a spinster in 1856 when she was an executrix of the will of her sister Catherine.
