Below is for whatever it's worth. I told "White81429" that a Roger Atkinson m. Agnes Poythress (1771-1821) but that Agnes' dates made it entirely possible that this was a late in life marriage for Atkinson or perhaps there was an Atkinson, Jr. "White81429" is a little difficult to talk to....sentences run together and the prose gets cryptic. Roger Atkinson strikes me a something of a land baron. He shows up in just about all of "our" counties at one time or another.
