Richard Atkinson, a lifetime resident of Malden township, County of Essex, where he had followed farming with much success, comes of old English stock.
     John Atkinson, his grandfather, was a resident of Downham, Lancashire, England, where he married Alice Boothman and where both died. His old Bible, bearing the date 1765, is still in the possession of the family, carefully preserved.
