Families included are Atkinson (father,) Blevens (mother,) Mueller (father-
in-law,) Loe (mother-in-law.) Our parent's ancestors include Bradford, 
Tucker, Childress, Hudspeth, Grantham, Busse, Mensching, Lee and many more.

James Robert Atkinson prepared incredibly complete and accurate charts for the
descendants of  Stephen Childress Atkinson. All of this has been entered into
this site.

Ruth Nell Blevens Atkinson (my mother) dictated her recollections of the 
Blevens Family to me January 4, 1976.

Charles Aubrey Atkinson (my father) took pictures of family, friends and the 
evolving scenes in and around Memphis for about 65 years. Many of these 
priceless pictures are included. You may get copies of the originals at 
Picasa, online. Send me an email request for the family of interest (Atkinson 
ancestors, Jesse/Patsy, Aubrey, Guy, Beulah, Letha, Steve, Bess, Pearl, James 
Robert and Jessie Morrow) and I'll send you the link.

Fannie Eoline Selph, (Great grand-father Stephen's sister) author of three 
respected books, provided an in person perspective and details. See "Texas, 
The Broken Link," "The South in American Life and History," and "Our Schools 
and Teachers." She is also referenced in "West Nashville, It's People and 
Environs", 1987, Nashville TN (457 pages), Author: Sarah Foster Kelley.

M. Maude Harrison (a descendant of my great grand-father's sister, Belle)
wrote, "The Human Touch," a life sketch of Dr. John Louis Atkinson, b. 1810, 
in June 17, 1934. Her mother, Calidonia Elizabeth Harrison wrote "Out of a Full
Heart" in 1920.

Thomas Edward Atkinson provided the Josiah Samuel Atkinson descendants tree.

The Mary Nichols Britt collection of over 5000 documents that have been micro filmed by
the Tennessee State Library has the positive link to the parents of Dr. John Louis
Atkinson.  

The Atkinson Family Book is available from Lulu.com as a free, color PDF that may be
down loaded. Search for Atkinson Family.
 
Mueller and Loe family charts are from the Busse and Mensching family reunion
books, Beulah W. Newlove, Lawrence H. Mensching, Willis Everett Loe and Anita
Loe. Marineal Y. Nickolaus' 1983 book "Yarborough and Related Families" is a
huge treasure.

Leon W. Jackson produced charts for the Jackson, Thompson, Kirk, Plummer, 
Byrum, Patton, Mayfield, Gray, Baxter, Williams, Akins and Meadows lines. 
They're clearly hand lettered in his engineering draftsman's style.

Heather Williams did the excellent research for the Daniel B. McFaul site 
which contributed more information on the Loe family.

Internet searches lead to many genealogy resources and people searching for
information on their ancestors. There are now too many nice researchers to
credit them all.

Each marriage links new families to the tree so the subject continues to
fascinate and the puzzle can never truly be completed.

Please sign the guest book and let me know of any persons you find in this tree
for whom you have additional information or links. 

Best wishes,
