Debi,Janelle again.Are you saying that Benjamin Atkins who went from Laurens to Cherokee Co, AL eventually (via Georgia) was the son of Benjamin Atkins and Elizabeth Barnes?How do we know this?Do you have any documentation?You see, my BA is in history and I was admonished from the time I was a sophomore that any statement of fact had to be backed up with a source, primary, preferably or at least a reputable secondary one.Is there a reliable source for this data?I descend from an Edward Barnes who went from Isle of Wight Co, VA to NC in the early 1700's, through his daughter, Mary, who married Robert Sims II.I would so like to know more about these Atkinses that are our mutual ancestors. Thank you very much.Janelle
