Captain George ATHY186 |
| Birth Date |
1642 |

This can't be right if he immigrated to Maryland in 1642, as noted by Source 84 who says that George Athey arrived as a bondservant to Thomas Dent. |

Arrived as a bondservant to Thomas Dent. This date presents a problem as he was supposed to have been born in 1642 in Galway, Ireland. [LKH] |

| Comments Notes for Ann |
| Source 88 lists Capt. George Athy's wife as "Ann". I have entered her as spouse #2, although she could have been the same woman listed as "Sarah Marsh" of Source 84's records.6 |
| Comments Notes for George (Spouse 1) |
| The "facts" about Captain George just aren't adding up for me. There are huge discrepancies in dates. See Misc. Notes for details. Can anyone help me straighten this family line out? [LKH] |
| Misc. Notes |
Arrived in Maryland in 1642 as a bond servant to Thomas Dent. Served in the colonial militia as a "Captain of Foot" about 1786*. He was a planter with extensive land in Charles County, MD (later Prince Georges County) and gave land for an Episcopal Church near Broad Creek.186
*Comment: There is something not quite right about the facts I am gathering from my various sources. If Captain George Athy was born in Galway Ireland in 1642, then he could not have arrived as a bondsman to Thomas Dent in Maryland that same year, nor could he have served in the colonial militia in 1786 (America was no longer colonial by then) if he died over seventy years earlier in 1709/10. Some dates are either grossly wrong or mixed up with his son, George Athy Jr. [LKH] |
