My main area of interest at this point is James Maston Atkins b. abt.1833 in Lowndes County Ms.James enlisted in the 3rd La. Regiment in 1861 in New Orleans,La. He was wounded twice, first at Wilson's Creek & more seriously at Pea Ridge.At Pea Ridge he got shot in the hip and the ball was never removed.He was paroled in Vicksburg in 1865. James married Lucinda (Norwood)? about 1867.Lucinda is was said to 1/2 Cherokee. It is said that she was found by and raised by a white couple (Norwoods) after the band of Indians she was with were killed. We have no idea where this occured,but they was in Ar. by 1869 as their oldest child was born in 1869 in Ar.James & Lucinda had the following children:
Mary E. Atkins
James Quitman Atkins
Samuel A. Atkins
Alfred F. Atkins
Daniel Lucious (Dink) Atkins (my ggrandfather)

James is listed on the 1880 Bradley Co.Ar. census as a widower.December 16 1880 he married Mary Ann Weir. James & Mary had the following children:
