Surnames: Atkins/Adkins, Gilliam, Draper, Sprouse Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/AJ.2ADIB/2083.1 Message Board Post: Dan, I'm descended from Nancy Adeline Sprouse, daughter of Joel Diehl Sprouse from Lamar County, AL. Nancy was my mom's mother. I'm also descended from Joseph "Joel" Spencer Atkins/Adkins. He was born in Virginia in 1794 and also lived in Lamar County, AL. My father was Morris Joseph Atkins. I would be interested in learning who H.J. Atkins and J.C. Sprouse are. Thanks, Marti
