DESCENDANTS OF #3 THOMAS ATHY (2)
As the oldest son of #3 Thomas Athy (2), #8 Thomas Athy, Jr. (3)
seems to have acquired the Athy family property in Maryland except for the home place, "Stony Hill", where his father probably lived. In 1741 he bought "Chance Situate", a 100 acre tract, located between Piscataway Creek and Mattawoman Creek near "Hopewell"; however, he sold this tract in 1745. Even though his father outlived him, he had acquired the 80 acre family tract "Hopewell" prior to 1748 at which time he requested that its boundries by established by a commission appointed by the
County. Futhermore, he also acquired the 200 acre tract, "Athey's
Choice", from his father at some time prior to his father's death in 1761.
In his will, he left 80 acres ("Hopewell") to his daughter #20
Mary Athy (4) and 200 acres ("Athey's Choice") to be divided equally between his daughters #21 Lucy Athy Feagins (4) and #22 Sarah Athy Staige (4). In the will both properties are referred to as "Athey's Choice", certainly in error, although it is possible that the two properties are adjacent and had been combined.
Mary sold her 80 acres in 1774. Thomas' wife Sarah demanded and
received her widow's third of the 200 acre tract and sold it in 1779. Daughters Lucy and Sarah also sold their thirds of the 200 acres in 1779. Lucy and Sarah lived in Fauquier County in Virginia at that time; and Mary also lived in Virginia, possibly in Fauquier County.

John Athey
Inventory of John Athey, son of Captain George Athey, filed in Prince Georges County, Md., Feb. 21, 1729/30. Next of kin mentioned Margaret, wife, Thomas and George, sons.
The following taken from Genealogist Quarterly Magazine, vol. I, in page 249, records from Prince Georges Parish (Prince Georges County), Maryland:
"John Athey married Margaret Lewis, June 4, 1711. Zeph
Athey married Lucy Duckett, November 13, 1790. Joseph Athey Married Jem. Smith, September 18, 1791."
February 1, 1761, will of Thomas Athey, son of the above mentioned John Athey, was probated in Prince Georges County. (Will omitted.) Heirs' names: Sarah, wife (she afterwards married John Turner), Mary, Sarah and Lucy, three daughters, and no sons.
George Athey, the son of Capt. George Athey, the immigrant, married Winnifred and died before she did. She died in 1794 and the administration of her estate disclosed the following children: Thomas, Mary, Walter, Fenly, George and Benjamin. He moved into Prince William County, Va., which afterwards became
Fairfax County, Va., just across the Potomac River from the home of the Athey family in Maryland, and died about 1794.
George Athey, grandson of Capt. George Athey and son of John Athey, the immigrant, married Mary and died about 1733. Left two sons, Robert and John. Robert was the elder. John will be distinguished from the other John Atheys herein-mentioned by affixing to his name the "Sr."
Robert and John, Sr., were left orphans at a tender age. They were taken, so family tradition says, into Carolina County, Virginia, near Richmond and there reared and educated. They were born between 1725 and 1730. John, Sr., died in Morgan County, Virginia, at his farm on the Great Cacapon River, Horseshoe Bend, and his age at his death was given as 100. Robert Athey married and had four sons and four daughters. The sons were named, James B, Thomas, William and Presley. The daughters were named Susan, who married William Stevens, of Kenton County, Kentucky, and one married a Mr. Lockwell of Lawrenceburg, Indiana. The names
of the other daughters are not known to the writer.
