Congratulations! Have you found your g-g-grandfathers name on a map within that atlas yet? You may find it of interest to know that the map publishers sometime drew little houses next to a persons name on the accompanying atlas for those atlas subscribers who paid to have a sketch drawn of their farmstead. This allowed their door-to-door salesmen to identify who their best customers were the next time they published an atlas for that county. In addition to his name on a map, you may also find a biography or a mention of him under the Histories or Directories tabs for that atlas. Good luck with the research.
