My maternal grandfather was Walter R Atcherson born in October 1883 in Medo Township, MN. It is interersting that you have confirmed my recent discovery that my Atchersons who had settled in Adams County, Wisconsin had been Yankees who had come from Windham and/or Windsor County, Vermont. What is so curious to me is that they had migrated West to Wisconsin about the same time my paternal German immigrant forefathers had come to nearby Green Lake County, Wisconsin from Prussia. My gr-grandfather Heidel then migrated westward to Minnesota (Nicollet County north of Blue Earth County) as my gr-grandfather Atcherson did by about the same time. It appears possible that Thomas Atcherson was my ggggr- or gggr-grandfather. I find both a Thomas Atcherson and a Thomas Atcherson, Jr in the 1820-'30 censuses. I would be very interested to know when the Atchersons may had first settled in Vermont and where they came from previous to about 1820.
