I am looking for any information on following Adkins family. John Thomas Adkins(1860-1950) married Margaret Pennewell (1863-1935) in 1884 in Worcester Co. Md. in the 1870 census for Worcester Co. I found John in the household of John B.W. Adkins (1840-1917) John's father being Laban Adkins and Laban's father Nimrod Adkins. My John is listed as John Thompson age 10 and a apprentice farmer in the 1870 census. I found his father's obituary in 1917 that states Mr. J.T. Adkins is an adopted son. My family lore states that John walked on ab Adkins farm and took thier name. I have been to the courthouse trying to find apprenticeship or guardian papers on my John but as of yet to no avail. If anyone has any info I would appreciate it Mike Adkins [email protected] Bethany Beach, De
