According to her gravestone and death notice, REBECCA ANN ADKINS was born 30 December 1812, died 26 February 1894 in Warren Co., PA and is buried in the Leonhart Cemetery in Grunderville. She married William Perry BARBER 18 October 1835 in Susquehanna Co., PA. By 1840, they were in Warren Co. Census records and death certificates of her children give varying places of birth for Rebecca - PA., VT, and NY. To further complicate things, her oldest daughter, Mary Sophronia Barber became a Mormon, and in two different LDS records, Rebecca's maiden name is listed as FARMER. The "story" is that Rebecca's parents were killed by Indians and she was adopted by John D. Adkins. Another part of the story believes that Rebecca herself was Indian. Can anyone help with this puzzle? I'm particularly looking for Rebecca's birthplace and parents. Thanks very much. Sally Shaner sshaner@alaweb.com
