*******************************
There is a gravestone in Castine Cemetery in Castine, Maine, for Abel Willard Atherton.
He is listed as Colonel Abel Willard Atherton.
He is listed as Col. Abel W. Atherton on Find-A-Grave. The gravestone is in very bad shape.
So, did he get as high as a colonel in the Maine militia?
