Ellen ATKINSON was born on 13 Feb 1854 in Cornishville, Mercer Co., Kentucky.

(1) She was buried UNKNOWN in Cowgill Cemetery. Nancy Atkinson is
mom's grandmother on her dad's side of the family and Etta Atkinson is her grandmother
on her moms side of the family. Interesting fact is that they were not only sister
in law's, but Etta was Nancy's niece because Etta's dad was Nancy's brother,
James Kalvin Atkinson. There was an age difference of about 32 years in the
sets of grandparents. It must have been interesting to hear the different points
of view as the families raised the children with help from their grandparents.
