Surnames: Adkins, Atkins, Crane Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/4c.2ADE/1696.1 Message Board Post: The first name Baylis is interesting. There was a Watson Adkins that lived near Balis Crane in the 434th District of Hall County in 1840. Balis Crane is found in NW Lumpkin Co. in 1850. I wonder if there is a connection between these families.
