Spencer & Milly's son James
In Looking back over the bits and pieces from here and there, I would like to see if anyone has any suggestions on James, son of Spencer and Milly (Franks) Atkins.
Here is what I have:James was born about 1836 in MS.He married Harriet Rececca Jane coleman on Oct 19, 1853, in Lowndes Co. MS and died in Thurber Texas.Where is Thurber?
In the succession records of Thomas J. Atkins, older brother of James, the names are repeated on a number of documents. Spencer is always referred to as "Spencer" and James is always referred to as "James". Some have suggested that James was James Spencer Atkins, Jr., but I have not been able to document that.
Since James was the youngest of the children of Spencer and Milly, it would seem that his death, etc. should be the eariest to research.James and Harriet's known daughters were Mary b 1856 and Silenia (various spellings) b 1858. Silenia may have been "Lena Ann Elizateth Atkins". They may have three other children, but I have not been able to find their names.
James is especially important to our "Spencer" research because IF James was a Jr. then we may should be looking for a James or James S. in trying to find Spencer's parents!Any suggestions appreciated.Or, any Texas volunteers to research for James' death records.Thanks, Ed
