The undocumented, secondary source is "Captain George Athy (of Galway and Maryland) and his Descendants” Houston: Lawrence F. Athy, Jr., 1999, This book is frequently referred to by researchers of Atheys; however, primary sources do not uphold the book's records.. Checking the dates against probate records, the Capt. G. Athy book cannot be right about this particular matter.

Another Thomas Athey, son of Thomas Athey, Sr.., was a cousin to the Thomas Athey who married Elizabeth Fenley and Sarah Barker. Thomas Athey, Sr. owned "Athey's Choice" which was located next to "The Ridge" owned by John Harris and next to "Nonsuch" which was granted to Charles Fenley, Sr. in 1720 and was, also, located next to land owned by Wm Webster. This land would have been roughly where Fort Washington Park is. Athey's Choice was surveyed in 1725 for Thomas ATHEY. so this could not have been the Thomas Athey b. 1717 who m. E. Fenley.
