pj, For the name Nancy, nothing comes immediately to mind.............so I will have to do a little digging around in my papers (unfortunately, I don't yet have a family tree program :-( ) My primary Atkinson's are my great aunt Martha Sammons married Francis Atkinson (can't find when, where, or how Francis died), and their son J.F. (John Francis) and daughter L.W. JF married Minnie Reavis and Lillian married John Peery. Francis's mother was Honor Atkinson and she was in Weakley early. I don't have a lot on this family--the father, son, and daughter all died young so it's been difficult to trace--but I collect "stuff" on other Atkinson's hoping to find some clues. I'll look through that and let you know if I find anything interesting.....or boring :-) ...... Jewel ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
