Surnames: Stepp, McCormick, Thompson, Adkins, Carrow, Massey Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/AJ.2ADIB/1973.1.1 Message Board Post: I have a Morris Adkins (b abt 1850) who married a Esther Stanley (b abt 1857). I have their children as Franklin (b abt 1874), Jane (b abt 1876), and Lavina (b abt 1878). Morris also married a J. McCormick, whether first or second I am unsure, but probably 2nd. I believe Morris' father and mother were Isom and Virginia (Unknown) Adkins, and his siblings were Peter, Harmon, Mary, Margaret, James, and Ollie. Harmon is my great grandfather through his daughter Bessie (McCormick). This family was in Clay County, WV in the 1850s and in the Boone/Kanawha, WV area by 1870-1900.
