Some More Genealogy - This Time - The Ators

Suzie gave me a name this morning that got me past a roadblock on Meree's side of the family and I've been working on that most of the day. If you're like me you always thought that Herb's middle name "Quick" was a little unusual. The Ators (who have been in the Mineral Wells area since the mid-1800's) have a lot of unusual names in the family. Here, for grins, are some of the best ones (year is the birth year):

1812 - MATHIAS DOUT ATOR
1839 - WARTHADEUS ATOR
1842 - PHARAOH THOMAS ATOR
1849 - GENERAL JOHN ZACHARY TAYLOR ATOR
1851 - OREGON ATOR
1858 - PARROTT ATOR
1859 - PRINCE ATOR
1860 - TENNESSEE WILSON ATOR
1864 - TEXAS ATOR
1868 - NAPOLEON BONAPART ATOR
1870 - MARYLAND E. ATOR
1872 - CALIFORNIA ATOR
1874 - SUSANA MEXICO ATOR
1876 - ARIZONA ATOR
1887 - ADAM METHUSELAH S.S.W.L. ATOR
1889 - SULAR DEXTER ATOR
1891 - SULAR HINDMAN ATOR
1895 - JUST PAT ATOR
1898 - KLONDIKE D. ATOR
