My Greatgrand Father Thomas Jefferson Atkinson married Posie Lacefield in Plummerville, Conway Co., AR in 1883.
I live 10 miles from Plummerville (as the crow flys). I have very little PROVEN information on Posie Lacefield.
I think Posie is a nickname I've seen and/or heard of her as Polie/Posie/Polly. I have done extensive internet search for Lacefields who fit her age (B: 1860) an location (Conway County, AR).
I beleive Mary P. Lacefield listed on the 1870 w/both parents and listed on 1880 census with mother and Posie Lacefield who married Thomas J Atkinson are one in the same.Father is listed in another town ship living with Durham family. I beleive the P. in Mary P. is Posie.
I beleive William 'Jasper' Lacefield is her father and Sarah/Sarns/Saraphina NASH is her mother.
A granddauther (Sarah M. Balle, 2 mths) of Sarns Lacefiled is listed on the 1880 census. This may be Mattie/Mettie a child Mary P. (Posie) has before she married Thomas Jefferson Atkinson.
She had two children with Thomas J Atkinson - Homer Clarance and Elbert Price B:1884 (My grandfather). Thomas Jefferson married again in 1886 and had 5 more children. Thomas and his 2nd wife are buried at Edlin Cem. Perry Co, AR. Perry/Conway County are next to each other.
None of my family knows what happened to Posie.
I beleive William P. listed below is Posie brother and William H. is his son - the other I have no idea at this time who is connected to who.
My sister and wife have visited several graveyards in Conway County trying to find both Atkinsons and Lacefields. All have had a lot of rocks marking graves or cement poured with Unknow stamped. The following Lacefields were found.
