My Atkinson Family is from Georgia or Texas. My G Ggrandfather Robert B Atkinson (RB) lived with his wife Adeline Ann ? and children William Jeptha and Margaret in Coosa County AL in 1850. In 1860 they were in Richmond County Georgia (Augusta) where they settled for a while then on to Burke County Georgia. Some Family and documents state they were born or lived in Texas some say Georgia. Robert B Atkinson was born in 1822. My ggrandfather William J was born in 1846. This is my only Alabama connection so far. If you see anything of interest please let me know. I cannot find Robert B on an 1840 census, maybe living with Father (name unknown).

Could someone look up the Atkinson/Adkinson/Atkisson surname in the Coosa County Cemetery book. I am looking for births between 1790's -1835. Does this cemetery book have relationship information? I can do lookups in several Mississippi county cemetery books at my library in exchange if needed. Thank you, Anne Vanderleest
