Maryellen: If you don't mind, let me know what you have on the 1847 William. "My" William (great-grandfather) was born July 1858 in Chilton Co (per census and family bible), but I can't match who the father would be. I know there was a Dolby Atkinson that lived Chilton Co around the same time, and he had a son named William C., but this one was younger, born abt. 1866. I believe Dolby was born in 1843. No doubt all these guys are cousins, but would like to find "my" line. Thanks for any help----- Leslie Hill LHill42731@aol.com
