I am seeking Ancestors of the following ADKINS lines: WILLIAM CALIFORNIA ADKINS & ALCY WHITT his son was MATTHEW E, ADKINS MATTHEW E. ADKINS m. MARGARET ANGELINE ADKINS MARGARET ANGELINE ADKINS was the daughter of NATHAN ADKINS & Amanda Jane Lewis. NATHAN ADKINS was the son of WILLIAM AND NANCY DAMRON ADKINS. I'm thinking there may be cousins here with Matthew and wife Margaret? I have that Meredith Whitt was married to Sarah Sallie Adkins, July 18, 1822 Pike County Kentucky. Their daughter was :Alcy Whitt Abt. 1824 in Pike County Kentucky, she married William California Adkins born Abt. 1823 Pike County Kentucky. They wed June 15, 1845 in Grant Co. WI. The 1850 US Census Grant Co Wisconsin : Shows this family as: William Adkins 26 b. KY Alce 26 b. KY Carline 4 b.Wis. Matthew 1 b. Wis {MINE} Meredith and Sarah Whitt , Alce's parents must have moved from Morgan Co. Ky where she was born , to Wisconsin between 1840 and 1846. They are on the 1840 Morgan Co. Census , But has a four year old child (Mary) as born in Wisconsin on The 1850 Wisconsin Census. Alcy and William Adkins are on the Morgan Co. KY census of 1850 with their children Caroline 4 and shows Matthew was born in Wisconsin ,Therefore The family had to be in Wisconsin in 1849 ( most likely went there with Alcy's parents). Meridith and son Charles Whitt both purchased land in Grant County Wisconsin in 1859, Meredith son stayed in Wis.
