I know Anne Holmes Atkinson Ralston's parents were Thomas Holmes & Nancy Ann McNeely from County Donegal Ireland. Thomas was a shoemaker & about 1789 came to America near New York City then came west to settle in Brooke, he died at age 96 & info says his wife Nancy lived to be over 100 years old in Guernsey co Ohio at the home of her son Isaac.

Thomas Holmes will dated 1832, in Brooke co mentions his wife Anne Homes, farm on the waters of Harmon's creek, sons Isaac land in Ohio, Thomas Holmes, daughters Margaret Atkinson, Jane ALLISON, Ann Ralston, Isebell/Isebele? RUSSLE, Pricilla Ralston (married Joseph Ralston brother of Alexander), & Elizabeth WILEY.

who was the daughter Margaret Atkinson married to??

Anne married Thomas Atkinson (son of George) & after he died she married Alexander Ralston & moved to Barthowlew, Ind. Alexander died there in 1852, they had 2 sons Alexander & Joseph who died there in 1852.
the son Alexander Ralston is found in 1880 living with Charity Atkinson in Kickapoo Leavenworth KS..*I'm looking for where he died & when. Also looking for where Anne died & when- after 1850 census.?

Anne Holmes & Thomas Atkinson children were listed on a land deed in Brooke co when Anne & Alexander Ralston sold land there~ kids & spouse listed;
1 Narcissa Atkinson who married John Sharp in 1827.
2 Sarah Ann Atkinson married James Marsh 1827 - what happened to them?
3 James Atkinson & wife Jane ?
4 Willima Atkinson b.ca 1811, married Salvina/ Selina she died 1873 buried at Lambert cem, Columbus twp, Clay twp Barthowlew co Ind. Had kids Martha J. 1846- 1855 same cemetery, Eliza 1839, Thomas M. 1841, John, George 1849.
5 George Atkinson married Revecca Cline/ Cleave?
6 Eliza Jane Atkinson married Robert Adams.
7 Thomas Atkinson married Margaret E.
8 Isaac Atkinson b. 1805 d. after 1870 census before 1880 in Kickapoo Leavenworth KS area, wife Charity, has kids Thomas 1833, William 1837, & Georganna.
9 John Atkinson.

Anne's sister Elizabeth Wiley's will in Brooke co VA, dated 1834 listed dau Teiporch, Asenith, Tersy, & brother Thomas Holmes.. *(the names of these daughters is unusual..) what happened to them?

I had been asked for the marriages of the Atkinson in Brooke & decided to post them here for others to see too.
I'm interested in the Ralstons mentioned but have these other branch's in my notes so decided to share them here.
Hope it helps in your researching too.
Happy Trails,
Kim Ralston Dresser
