I don't have any new info for you, but I wanted to let you know that I also descend from James Finley Atwell and America Slinker. Their son Robert Lonnie Atwell was my great-grandfather. I don't have any info on James' grandparents, however, I would be more than happy to share what I do have. Feel free to email me directly.
