In studying the 1840 Kanawha Co. census, I am trying to narrow down who could be the father of James Madison Atkinson b. 1821-1823. James would have been between 15 & 20. Only these have sons between 15 & 20: James Atkinson (Pg. 56 unknown township) John Atkinson (Charleston township) Maybe this will help someone help me make the connection to James' parents! Thanks.
