A land deed in 1844-45 in Brooke co VA listed them living in Bartholomew then, according to the deed, her children by 1st marriage were in the county too- James Atkinson & wife Jane, William Atkinson & Salvina his wife, George Atkinson & Rebecca his wife, Robert Adams & Eliza Jane Atkinson his wife, Thomas Atkinson & Margaret E. his wife, Isaac & John of Brooke co va heirs listed. Need a lookup on census, as I did see a William Atkinson in 1850 census Columbus twp, p 313, & 1860 Isaac Atkinson in Hawcreek twp p 26 & Wonder if Alexander & Anne were living with one of the kids, I can not seem to find Alexander & Anne in 1850-60 70-80 census anywhere yet. Ann was 1st married to Thomas Atkinson in Brooke, VA after he died she married Alexander Ralston in 1825, they are listed in the 1830 & 1840 cenus of Brooke co VA.. A Isaac Atkinson & Wilson Ralston had land in Leavenworth KS in 186 & 70, who may be related, Thanks for any clues on these names, & Any help you can send my way on Alexander Ralston- Happy trails on all your researching too.
