This has been a long time coming! These Atchisons were rather messy and some of the information was from way back at the beginning when I didn’t know what I was doing and didn’t keep track very well. Here is what I have pieced together so far . . .
There were several more spouses, but for now, let’s focus on these 3 families!:
John & Lydia had these children:
Buel Goodsell ATCHISON
Orett ATCHISON
Zebedee ATCHISON
George ATCHISON
Milton ATCHISON
Buel & Almira had these children:
Ephner (Efner M) ATCHISON
Nellie P ATCHISON
Efner & May had these children:
Claire (Clara) ATCHISON
Glen ATCHISON
Milton ATCHISON
Notes & Questions
1) I have heard that Ruben & Nellie Kilts helped care for the kids (Claire, Glen & Milton) when they lived near each other.
2) Who was Alsam in 1860?
3) Who was Susan in 1895?
4) There is a brief mention that Philena married Buel Atchinson, had one child, Mary, and moved to Wisconsin. (They had another but he died young.) And also that John Atchinson took the Freemen Oath in 1808. That is in the History of Jericho VT from 1916. It is available online (just a text file version or pdf version that stops after page 319)
5) Thanks to cousin Linda for her enthusiasm & generosity!
P.S. A note about the spelling – Atchison v. Atchinson . . .
I did a quick survey of the official records I have and we seem to have lost the ‘n’ during Buel’s watch. He waffled during this time period:
- 1860 – did not have the n
- 1865 – did not have the n
- 1870 – had the n
- 1880 – did not have the n
- 1891 – had the n
Before this, we consistently had the n and after this we consistently did not have the n.
