Jane's parents are Sarah McCalpin (1774-1851) and George Atkinson. According to the 1980 Moniteau County Missouri History book, Jane married Andrew Atkeson on May 29, 1827, in Kanawha County, West Virginia. Their nine children were born near Charleston, West Virginia: Elizabeth, Sarah, Jane, Francis, John, James, Mary, William and George.
They left West Virginia about 1845, coming up the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers to Boonville, Missouri, on a steamboat and settled near Wolf's Spring, southwest of Tipton, Missouri.
Jane died soon after the family arrived in Missouri. She is buried in an unmarked grave.
In addition to the children linked below, there are two more sons:
John Merlin was born in 1838. He started walking west to California during the Gold Rush of 1849 and caught up with a wagon train and made the journey on to the west with them. He bought land and had a mining claim. He was the only one of Jane and Andrew's sons not in the Civil War, because he left Missouri before the war broke out. He died in the State of California.
James Calvin was in the Civil War as a Private under Captain D. L. Dille. After the war was over, he went west. He never married and was in Shoshone County, Idaho territory, near Wardner, around the time of his death.
