Oh, Marilyn (and everyone else)...thank you...I figured that out yesterday
after hitting the books and reading that Chancery case all the way
through..It started in 1847 and continued until 1860...After that I
referred back to the Atkinson Bible Family info I have...I think the
planets were misaligned or I had a brain mis-function!  I had taken a
rather *long* hiatus from my research and now just getting back into it...I
need to remember to slow down, take my time and THINK again!!

My very best,
Shirley Cox Schroeder
