I wasn't terribly clear in my reply, yesterday, about the information from "The History Of Gill, Franklin County 1793-1943", and I apoligize for that. When Ralph Stoughton was writing the book, he kept it in 2 separate parts, the history of the town and the genealogy of the families. The history of the town was published in 1950, but the genealogies were not included in the published book. There are only short biographies of some families included in the book. Mr. Stoughton did give a copy of the genealogies to the town. They have been microfilmed by the LDS and are available through the Family History Centers. That was where the Roberts information came from. I only made notes on the families that I am researching, so I am afraid that I do not have the Scott, Atherton or Wood families. "The History Of Gill, Franklin County 1793-1943," was republished in 1978 by the Town of Gill as a Bicentennial project. As far as I know, this edition is sold out. I was fortunate enough to obtain a copy through an on-line auction. The Atherton family was included in chapter 14, entitled "Some Later Family Biographies." "ATHERTON. The founder of this family was Humphrey Atherton, one of the early captains of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Boston. The Gill family descends through his son, the Reverend Hope Atherton who was graduated from Harvard College in 1665, and was settled as a minister in Hatfield. The Reverend Hope was chaplain of the expedition under Captain William Turner in the "Falls Fight," and the narrative of his experiences has been fully told in Sheldon's "History of Deerfield." Oliver and Jonathan, grandsons of Reverend Hope's son Joseph, were early settlers in Greenfield, and Jonathan's grandson Zora, settled in Gill soon after his marriage in 1833. Two of his sons, William B. and Ralph L., served in the Civil War, and both were wounded, the latter losing an arm." There were no biographies in the published book for the Scott or Wood families.
