But just in case, here's what I have on David Green Adkins. Born Jackson Co. Mo. 1831. Parents Roland or William Roland b. abt. 1800 in Ky.and Martha Henson b. Tn.. Married Nancy Eveline Toms born 1837 Ky. in Buchannan Co. Mo. 1854. Children; James b. 1854, Andrew Jackson and George Washington (twins) 1856, Mary Jane 1859, Lihue 1860, Lizzie Ellen 1861, Mary Francis 1862, David R. 1867, Elihue 1869, Benjamin 1871, and Missouri Francis 1873. Married Joan Auston b. 1835 in Ky, in 1880. All births and marriages took place in Buchannan Co. Mo. I am currently thinking Roland was part of Thomas Adkins family (b. abt 1760 Old District 96 in SC. married to Ruthy Lynch) the family moved to Whitley Co Ky. From there they seemed to have spread out all over Ky. By 1830 Four of thier children are in Jackson Co. Mo. along with my Roland. By 1840 all are gone. Three of the sons show up again in Ky by 1850. My Roland we know died around 1831 in Mo. I checked the family line and cannot find a William or David in your time frame. If you would like to look, checkout rootsweb Thomas Adkins spouse Ruthy Lynch. most info provided by jwat69. Thanks again for your reply. Steve.
