    3. Atkinson, Harrison, and Landrum researchers, Between the Census and information I got from an elderly Great Aunt (via her grandfather's family bible), I have gotten details on connections to these three surnames. I have identified my GG Grandparents as John H. Atkinson and Susan C. Harrison. (My Great Aunt had told me the wrong given name for John. I hunted for William H. Atkinson for months.) John H. Atkinson was born 1/10/1854 in GA, died March 26, 1928 in Alabama. Susan C. Harrison was born 4/25/1855 in GA, died September 30, 1882 in Georgia, probably in Henry County. Additionally, from John's death notice, I learned that his parents were James Atkinson, born in GA, and Eliza Landrum, born in GA. In the 1880 Census of Henry County, GA, I find: 140 140 Robert Harrison M 26 GA SC GA L(?) " F 26 GA GA GA Ophalia " F 6 GA GA GA Mary J. " F 2 GA GA GA Sarah " F 1 GA GA GA 141 141 Nancy Harrison F 47 GA GA GA Joshua " M 12 GA GA GA 142 142 Andrew Walker M 75 SC SC SC Mary " F 70 SC SC SC John Harrison M 20 GA GA GA Masonsa(?) " F 17 GA GA GA (granddaughter to the Walkers) 145 145 John H. Atkinson M 26 GA GA GA Susan " F 22 GA SC GA John J. " M 4 GA GA GA Sarah O. " F 2 GA GA GA Henrietta " F 1 GA GA GA It appears that Robert, Susan, and John are siblings. And Nancy could be their mother. I also looked at the 1870 Census and these Atkinsons and Harrisons aren't to be found in Henry County. Therefore, I assume that they migrated from somewhere else in GA in the interim. Additionally, from a Marriage record CD, I found that Elizabeth Landrum married "Adkinson" on 10/8/1845 in Oglethorpe County, GA. So, with those pieces of information I was hoping to find connections to any of these family lines. Thanks in advance and looking forward to being a member of these lists. Jim Nix Birmingham, AL
