ATKINSON - I too am searching for information regarding Agrippa Atkinson, my gggggrandfather.  His birth is a real mystery.  It is thought by many that he was born between 1770 and 1777 in GA, but I am wondering where that estimate comes from. He could have been born before that.  Also, the names of his parents and siblings would be good to know about.  So much is known about his later life, it is surprising that his early life is such a mystery.  Linda Scott  3/18/2008

JONES - My ancestor is John A. Jones who married a Martha (Mitchell possibly) in Hancock County, in 1845 ca. I have a possible marriage license, but there were several John Jones in Hancock in 1840 census. Their oldest son was Solomon Harrison Jones born in Hancock County, January 31,1846.

By 1870, the family moved to Panola County,TX. I can trace them with land and deed records in TX, but have no records in GA or AL. Any ideas as to where to look in AL would be a help.
