I found your post about Virginia's Headstone. I am trying to confirm the birth date of one of her half siblings, George Atkinson buried in the Fernwood Cemetery. If you are close to there can you check the birthdate for me? He is on a marker with his brother Francis Atkinson, lot. 214 and 12. It has been extracted as 1853 but his sister Eliza was born in 1853 with several records confirming that. I am thinking it might be 1858 instead which would put the family in correct order. Since George died as a child this seems to be the only record of him.
thanks, you can answer at the email address below.

I do not live in Henderson - sorry. From the picture on Find A Grave, Memorial #90262602, it looks like his year of death is 1859. The next time I am over that way, I will check.
