Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox officeholder George F. A. Atherton (December 31, 1790 – April 23, 1882)[1] was an American politician from Emerald Grove, Wisconsin, who served in the Wisconsin State Assembly after being elected to the 1st Wisconsin Legislature in 1848. He represented the Rock County towns of Bradford and Janesville.[2]

Early life

Atherton was born in Chesterfield, New Hampshire,[3] the son of Dr Oliver Atherton (1755Шаблон:En dash1812) [4] and Abigail Ladd (1765Шаблон:En dash1828). He is a direct descendant of James Atherton,[5] one of the first settlers of New England; who arrived in Dorchester, Massachusetts, in the 1630s.

In the assembly

Atherton was a Democrat. He was succeeded in the next session by Anson W. Pope, a Whig.[6]

After the assembly

Atherton was on the board of directors of the Madison and Beloit Railroad Company [7] when that board voted to change its name to the Rock River Valley Union Railroad Company in 1850.[8] He remained on the board until 1854, when a complete reorganization took place. The railroad later became the Madison Division of the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad.[9]

Personal

He served in the U.S. Army and married Ruthy Bartlett as "Major George F. A. Atherton" in Charlestown, New Hampshire, on October 7, 1818.

His son, George R. Atherton (1824Шаблон:En dash1910), represented Clinton in the 10th Wisconsin Legislature.

His daughter, Frances (1822Шаблон:Endash1900), married William Wallace White, the son of Phineas White.[10]

He died in Burlington, Iowa, on April 23, 1882,[11] and was buried at Aspen Grove Cemetery in Burlington.[1]
