WikiTree profiles read through the WikiTree API for the Hatten research (October 2026): Atherton-74 (Elizabeth Atherton), Mather-77 (Timothy Mather), Mather-184 (Richard Mather) and Wise-984 (Katharen Wise). Compiled; what they abstract from records has not been seen here.

  • Atherton-74: "Elizabeth was first wife of Timothy Mather, and she was the mother of all of his children ... Some older resources call her 'Catherine Atherton'." Baptized 28 Sept 1628 at Winwick, Lancashire ("Elizab Atheron, 28 Sep 1628, dau. of Humphry," FindMyPast's Cheshire parish baptisms); died 15 May 1678 at Dorchester. Administration of Maj.-Gen. Humphrey Atherton's estate was granted to "Jonathan Atherton, his eldest sonne, and Timothy Mather, James Trowbridge and Obadiah Swift, three of his sons-in-law" (NEHGR 10:361); Humphrey's probate names "Elizabeth Mather" among his heirs, "no Catherine."
  • Mather-77: Timothy Mather, born about 1628 at Liverpool; came in the James, 1635; married (1) "Catherine/Elizabeth [Atherton] (1628-1678) by 1650/51" (Torrey); (2) Elizabeth (____) Weeks, widow of William Weeks, 20 March 1678/9; died 14 Jan 1684. A deed of 23 July 1686 (Suffolk Deeds 54:127) by "Richard Mather and Katharine his wife, and Joseph Mather, all of Dorchester," and their brother and sister at Windsor, children of Timothy Mather, yeoman, confirms a deed of 10 May 1673 from "our Father" Timothy Mather and "Elizabeth Mather our Mother."
  • Mather-184 and Wise-984: Katharen Wise, baptized at Roxbury 10 Oct 1658, daughter of Joseph Wise and Mary Thompson (Roxbury VR 1:389; Anderson, TAG 56:80-82), married Richard Mather (born 20 Dec 1653, christened 25 Dec) on 1 July 1680 at Dorchester; their children Timothy (1681-1755), Elizabeth (1682), Samuel (1683/4-1725) and Joseph (1686-1749). It gives her death as about 12 Sept 1686 at Lyme, citing Find a Grave memorial 203844807.
