Ona, WV Would you, or any other Adkins family member, have anything on the family of James P. Adkins who was born in Mississippi (probably Neshoba County)? He is listed in the household of Colonel James Wilson on the 1860 Neshoba Cty Federal Census. In 1870 James P. Adkins is shown in his own household with wife Elizabeth who is Elizabeth Combs, daughter of Mary Jones Combs. Mary Jones Combs married Colonel James Wilson after her first husband, William Combs, died in Georgia. Also on this census in his household is listed one son, William L. Adkins, born 1867. James was born about 1846 and his wife Elizabeth was born about 1845 in Georgia. From older Combs family members (now deceased), they believed James and his family moved to Louisiana and perhaps to Texas. I have not been able to locate James P. Adkins and his family after the 1870 census. I do not know if he was still in Neshoba County on the 1880 census. My relationship is through the older brother of Elizabeth Combs, James Deck Combs, who remained in Neshoba and Lauderdale Counties. Her younger sister Sarah Ann Combs who married Richard Henry House also remained in Neshoba County. Colonel James Wilson lived at Muckalushia near House in the southeast part of Neshoba County. Also I have information on the Combs family, Colonel James Wilson family and Mose Wilson Adams family of Neshoba County if anyone is researching these families. Thank you very much, Bob, AL
