This is according to the Jefferson County, Illinois census of 1850. Do you know if the Mary & James you have in your records, moved to Jefferson County Illinois sometime before 1850? The censuses of 1830 & 1840 in Jefferson County, Illinois have a James Atwood as head of household, but only has the number of people in age groups that lived with him.
