1771 - ????
Daughter of Richard Atherton, a woollen draper from Preston, and his wife Mary. Inherited £3000 from her father Richard (d. 1804, secured on his Jamaica estates) and a further £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 £8,000 Richard bequeathed to each of his daughters, secured on Green Park and Spring Vale, was never passed to her.
A spinster of Clifton, Bristol, when she wrote her will in 1838. The will was proved by her surviving sister Elizabeth Atherton in 1856.
