Specifically, did they have a son or grandson named William M. Adkins (b bet 1867 - 1872)? William's Death Certificate indicates that his father was named David Adkins. But I have never been able to find the right David Adkins. In the 1860 census, David (age 34) and Nancy (32) Adkins have a son also named David (age 16). I have not located the younger David after 1860. I wonder if he could be William's father? I understand that one of the Davids was convicted of murdering a Margaret Adkins in the early 1870s. I don't know if this has anything to do with my difficulty pinning down William's father but I need any and all details that may help me sort this situation out. Thanks!
