I am posting all of the information that I have for two generations of ADKINS and ATKINS in the hopes that someone will recognize something. (11 pages) Descendants of Robert S. Adkins Generation No. 1 1. ROBERT S.1 ADKINS was born 1856 in Texas, and died Bef. July 08, 1886 in Texas. He married ISABELLE "BELLE" MCKAY September 21, 1876 in Limestone County, Texas, daughter of CHARLES MCKAY and SUSAN HUDMAN. She was born 1856 in Texas. Notes for ROBERT S. ADKINS: Robert ADKINS and his wife Isabelle both died of Cholera approx 1888 Is this a possibility also?

Bell MCKAY b. 1856 and Mary MCKAY b.1866 . Bell MCKAY married Robert S. ADKINS. Her sister married James C. PELTON. Robert S.ADKINS and Bell MCKAY had 4. children - Robert L. Bob ADKINS youngest of four children,b/1886, - Eleanor, ADKINS,- Mary Elizabeth ADKINS b. 1878. Her whole life she went by the name of Mollie, and was my grandmother. The fourth child was James S. ADKINS. b.1877 James C.PELTON married Mary MCKAY they had 6 children. James W. PELTON, b.1887-Joseph O. PELTON b.1889, Maggie M. PELTON b. 1893, and Susan M. PELTON b.1895- Samuel N. PELTON b.1898-& Stuart H PELTON b 1899. Now the family story goes that Mary and Bell were pregnant at the same time. Mary had her baby and it died. Bell had her baby and then she and her husband Robert S. ADKINS both died of cholera. They buried Mary's dead baby with it's aunt Bell, and Mary took the live baby and raised him as her own. This baby was Robert L. "Bob" ADKINS. She let him keep his name of ADKINS, and on the 1900 census, it shows a Robert ADKINS listed as nephew of James C & Mary PELTON. Robert L. "Bob" ADKINS' sister, my grandmother, "Mary Elizabeth "Mollie" ADKINS was raised by her grandmother Susan HUDMAN MCKAY HENSON. Susan was a widow. I do not know date her husband Charles MCKAY died, but in 1880 when her sister Mary Ann HUDMAN HENSON died, she married her sister's widower husband Dr. Henry HENSON and they raised my grandmother, Mary Elizabeth "Mollie" ADKINS. I do not know who raised the other children, but some how they all grew to be adults. This family story was written by Nettie Joan ORR NICLOS HERMAN My mother told this story many times and my Aunt Sophie, my mother's sister, told it also. At the time they were telling it I was young and did not pay much attention, but when I began doing genealogy and checking dates and census materials, it all came together. Because of the birth dates of the ADKINS and PELTON children, and especially the with the 1900 census that showed Robert S. ADKINS living with the PELTON family him listed as a nephew, seems to lend credibility to the story. On the 1910 census of Mitchell County, TX, Robert L. ADKINS is 23 years old which makes him born around 1887 depending on when the census was taken. Mary Elizabeth "Mollie" ADKINS is somehow related to Samuel "Sam" James ERVIN/ERWIN Jr a former Representative from North Carolina born in Morganton, Burke County, North Carolina September 27, 1896. He was elected to the Seventy-ninth Congress to fill the vacancy caused by the death of his brother, Joseph Wilson ERVIN/ERWIN and served from January 22, 1946 to January 3, 1947. We can not find the connection yet. Mary Elizabeth "Mollie" ADKINS is a first cousin to former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Samuel "Sam" TALIAFERRO RAYBURN b January 6, 1882 Roane County, Tennessee. Sam lived most of his life in Bonham, Fannin County, Texas. Notes for ISABELLE "BELLE" MCKAY: On Texas census listed as E Belle. Limestone County, Texas, Marriages: Book A (1873-1876): R.S.

Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas. Nov. 26, 1902. Appeal from district court, Clay county; A. H. Carrigan, Judge. J. S. Atkins was convicted of theft, and appeals. Reversed. Where the offense was committed about July 1st and the trial was had in the following October, an application for continuance because of the absence of defendant's sister, which showed no effort to discover her whereabouts, did not show diligence justifying the granting of a continuance. An application for a continuance on the ground of an absent witness, which showed that the witness had been summoned, and was too sick to travel, so as to appear, but without showing the materiality of the witness, was properly refused. An application for continuance for an absent witness which does not state what defendant expects to prove by her but refers to his own testimony in the statement of facts to show the materiality of her testimony is not a sufficient presentation of the matter. Where, on a prosecution for the theft of the property of T.F.T., the record showed that none of the witnesses testified as to the initials of the owner, but merely called him by his last name, there was a failure of proof, entitling defendant to a new trial. Tex.Cr.App.,1902 The evidence in a prosecution for theft held to have sufficiently established the corpus delicti, so that defendant was not entitled to an instruction that his uncorroborated confession was not sufficient to support a conviction. Atkins v. State Tex.Cr.App.,1902 On a prosecution for theft the owner of the property alleged to have been stolen was not introduced to prove his want of consent to the taking. The want of consent was proven by circumstances as to what occurred between the owner and defendant in reference to the recovery and surrender of the money. Defendant testified that the owner had removed from the county, and that his whereabouts was not known. Held, that the court properly refused to instruct the jury to acquit for failure to prove the want of consent. *292 **745 L. C. Barrett, for appellant. Robt. A. John, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State. HENDERSON, J. Appellant was convicted of the theft of money over the value of $50, and his punishment assessed at confinement in the penitentiary for a term of two years. Appellant filed an application for continuance, based on the absence of Mollie Thassler, sister of appellant. It is alleged that she was at the date of the commission of the offense a resident of Clay county, and since said time she had removed, and appellant had not been able to discover her whereabouts. The alleged offense was committed about the 1st of July, 1902, and the trial was had in October following. Appellant claims that he had been confined in jail a good portion of the time, and was unable to exercise diligence to ascertain the whereabouts of said witness. No effort is made on his part, as disclosed in the application, to discover where she had gone. We do not think that any diligence was shown to have procured this testimony. Appellant does not state in said application what he expected to prove by said witness, but refers to his own testimony in the statement of facts. We do not think this is a sufficient presentation of the matter. However, concede that it is, it does not occur to us that the absent witness would likely swear to the facts testified to by appellant himself; or, if she did, that the jury would probably regard it as true. Appellant also desired the testimony of Laura Atkins, his wife, alleged to reside in Milam county, some 300 miles distant, whom he alleges had been summoned, and did not appear, because she was sick with typhoid fever, and not able to travel. The materiality of said witness is not shown. We see no reason to revise the action of the court in regard to the application for continuance. We do not deem it necessary to discuss the matter of appellant's illness at the trial. The physicians testified that he was able to go to trial, and it does not appear that anything occurred during the trial to indicate that he was not in a condition to be tried. Appellant asked the court to instruct the jury to acquit him on the ground that the want of consent of the alleged owner had not been proven. It is true that this want of consent was not proven by direct evidence; that is, the witness T. F. Thassler was not introduced on the stand, and his want of consent directly proven. However, this want of consent was abundantly proven by the circumstances as to what occurred between Thassler and appellant in regard to the recovery and surrender of said money by appellant to him after the theft. If it be conceded that the state did not prove that the alleged owner, T. F. Thassler, was not accessible, then this testimony was supplied by appellant himself. He testified that the alleged owner lived up about *293 Charley, in Clay county, with his wife, Mollie Thassler, sister of appellant. They lived there in the fore part of July. They had gone off from there about the last of August, and that he had never been able to find where they went, and does not know where they are now. So that this testimony relieves the state from the burden of showing that the alleged owner was not amenable to process. Appellant also asked the court to instruct the jury that the naked confession alone of appellant, uncorroborated by other testimony, is not sufficient to establish the body of the offense, nor will it support the conviction. This charge, abstractly speaking, is the law; but it was not applicable to this case, inasmuch as there was other testimony establishing the corpus delicti aside from the confession. Swend and Pickett, deputy sheriffs, and Stearns, city marshal, testified for the state. Their testimony shows appellant was arrested for this offense, and brought into the presence of Thassler, the alleged owner, who was his brother-in-law. Defendant was properly warned, and denied having the money. Thassler told him that it was money he had worked for on the railroad, and he intended to buy seed wheat with it, and, if he would surrender it, he would not prosecute him; and appellant then pulled it out of his pocket, and gave it to Thassler, the money consisting of three $20 bills. Thassler asked him where he got it, and defendant said he got it from Thassler's wife's slipper. Howell, another witness, testified that he asked appellant about the particulars, and he told him that Thassler was gone from home over in the Indian Territory, and that some one had come there in the night while they were asleep, and stole $60 from his brother-in-law; and the thief had taken some $6 or $7 from him at the same time, and took his pants, **746 and left them out in the garden, where appellant found them the next morning. He told another witness the reason he put his pants in the yard the morning of the robbery was because he wanted to make the Thasslers believe he had lost some money also, to keep them from suspecting him. These conversations, and what was done and said between defendant and Thassler, it occurs to us, sufficiently establishes the corpus delicti, and the requested charge was not called for. We think the character and value of the money was sufficiently alleged and sufficiently established, and the charges requested on that subject were not called for. The court gave the requested charge predicated on appellant's testimony to the effect that said money was given to him by his sister, and instructed the jury to acquit him if they found such to be true. This was his defense, and this charge adequately presented it. In the amended motion for new trial appellant set up that there was no proof that the money was taken from the possession of T. F. Thassler, and he insists that the record nowhere shows this fact. We have examined the same, and none of the witnesses testified as to the initials of Thassler. They merely call him Thassler. While there is no variance here, inasmuch as the indictment charged the theft to be from T. F. *294 Thassler, and the proof showed that it was stolen from Thassler, yet there is evidently a failure of proof. The initials are nowhere proven. We cannot assume, in the absence of evidence, that it is the same Thassler. Nor can we look to other portions of the record, outside of the statement of facts, in order to supplement the proof which should have been in the statement of facts. Because this allegation in the indictment is not shown by the statement of facts to have been proven, the judgment is reversed, and the cause remanded. Tex.Crim.App. 1902. ATKINS v. STATE.

This is the first lead that there could be two couples. I know that ours did get married in Pittsylvania County. I tried to email you, but it came back saying there was a fatal error. So I thought I would try this way. Hope to hear from you. Sue Crawford [email protected]

Arminta (Artie Mincey) Adkins, according to what info I can find was born June 1831-32 and died 1910 and she is buried at Salem UMC Cemetery, Mt. Airy, N.C. She was the mother of my great grandfather, Robert Martin Loftis, and the wife of Ambrose Jackson Loftis b. 1824/28 Virginia, married 15 Jan 1846, died 1884, Mt. Airy, N.C., and is also buried at the Salem UMC Mt. Airy, N.C. Some family member had put up a tombstone with all the names on it last spring when I was up in Mt. Airy, Mother's Day. I have a question by some info someone gave me that her parents might be Bartlett Adkins and Susan Aubury, but I was not aware that she was an orphan and "raised by the Martin family" you mentioned, but then I have had a terrible time trying to find out anything about her. Who is this Martin family? I have wondered where great grandfather acquired his name Robert Martin Loftis, so there mus! t have been a Martin family in there somewhere. PLEASE share what you have on her with me. You may e-mail me direct if you wish, at [email protected]

Surnames: Burke Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/AJ.2ADIB/353.829.1 Message Board Post: James is my paternal grandfather. His brother was JOBY, not Jody. I am not sure that Maggie was a child of Ella. I believe that it was Jim who added the E to go from BURK to BURKE. Family lore is that it was on his marriage certificate that he first 'legally' signed his name, and that he declared then that he was going to use BURKE. His brother did the same. I wish I knew if Ella died or was divorced. Family lore is that Greenberry showed up at Jim's place on Caney Ridge. Jim threw him out, but Mattie, my maternal grandmother took him in and cared for him until he died. What impresses me is that three generations later, Greenberry's descendents still feel the loss of family. I wish I knew why he was married so many times, why he didn't care for his children....genealogy is so elusive. I am going "home" this July and I hope to root around the Wise County Courthouse.
