About Rev. Hope Atherton, Sr.

Rev. Hope Atherton was the son of Humphrey Atherton and Mary Wales, and the husband of Sarah Hollister. He was chaplain in the Falls Fight under Capt. William Turner. During that fight he became lost in the woods during the disorderly retreat, but managed to return safely. The legend was that while he was lost the Indians refused to take him prisoner because he was hallucinating. On his return he told a strange tale of his miraculous salvation, which was not believed by his neighbors.
