[NEHGR 35:72] Nathaniel Wales mentions Humphrey Atherton as his ``loving brother in law'' in his will. NW was the son of John Wales (see Registry of Calverly, Co York, edited by Samuel Margerison, page 52). He was the brother of Rev Elkanah Wales of Trinity College Cambridge. The editor supposed Nathaniel to be the person of this name who came to New England. No sister Mary is found among the baptisms.
