I dont know anything about my James Adkins parents or possible siblings. But he was also born in TN. I was at the library tonight and noticed that there were a lot of Adkins in TN 1850 Census index. Who knows..Maybe we may find out we are cousins! Mine would have been born 1814-17 in Tn...anything beyond that is still unknown.
