She is listed in the census below as Mollie. 1880 Federal Census, Ellis County, Texas: p. 448: #304/287: Robert ADKINS 24 TX LA LA E. 24 TX GA GA wife James 2 TX TX TX son Mollie 7/12 TX TX TX daughter (born January) What is strange, is that on every census including the one below and on her parents' marriage license, her father's name is listed as Robert or Robert S ADKINS. He was never called anything but Tom all his life according to his grandaughter who is still alive at 99 years old. On Mary Elizabeth ADKINS' death certificate in Oklahoma City OK in 1955,it lists her father's name as Tom ADKINS. Can anyone help with this family. The name in legal documents involving this family, unfortunately was spelled both ADKINS/ATKINS. Possibly related but I don't know. I am hoping the Robert below is the Robert or Tom I am looking for above. If anyone knows this family or knows anything about anyone in the census below, please email me at:[email protected] 1870 Fannin County census HH# 240 John White 24 m GA Mary A. 18 f Ark Robert Adkins 16 m TX John 7 m TX Amanda B. 39 f Ind Mitchel 20 m Ark Charles Davis 7 m TX Laura 4 f TX
