Hello everyone who has been on this message board prior. I am back at my family research. Hannah Atkinson is the daughter of George Atkinson and Margaret Chilton.

I don't have any information on James Rivers other than the census which indicates he is born in Ohio USA. His father is an immigrant ?? from Ireland and his mother is American.

Any connections on this one?

Thanks
Anne Rivers Trudel

Hi,

Found some death records that may help. I noticed his year of birth changes, ie his death record indicates 1843, while census suggest 1855 to 1859. The death record supports his birth in Ohio.
