Thank you, Peggy.
Francis Atkins's grandson Thomas Atkins was my great grandfather.
Lucy seems to have drawn her info on the father of Francis Atkins (b. 1736 VA d. 1818 SC) from a document, "The Genealogical Record and History of the Descendants of Francis Atkins, by Mrs. George S. Buchanan."Off and on for yeas, I've been trying to locate this document, which some say is a book.The Samford University Library (Berimingham, AL) informed me it never was actually published, but they have a copy of it.Did Lucy have a copy?Do you?
Several people over the years have told me Mrs. Buchanan's work has numerous errors (imagine that -- most of us are perfect).I'd like to study her work myself.
Also, Francis's great granddaughter Mahala (dau of Thomas, g/dau of Robert Yeldell) often is cited as author of a "book" on the Atkins line in Indiana.Have you encountered such a text?
