Kathy, Ebenezer Erskine Larkins, born 27 Nov 1812; died between 1870-1880, is the son of James M. Larkins and Mary McAdoo; grandson of John Larkins and Sarah McAdoo, all early settlers in Dickson Co. James M. and Mary McAdoo Larkins had 6 children: 1. Margaret, born 22 June 1811; died 15 Oct 1898; married Robert McNeilly 2. Ebenezer E.; married Elizabeth Alice Dickson and Mary Jane Good 3. Dorcas, born 26 Aug 1814; died 31 Dec 1892; never married 4. James Calvin, born 9 Aug 1816; died 21 Sept 1878; married Susan Gatewood 5. John McAdoo, born 15 June 1819; death date unknown 6. Felix Alexander, born 14 May 1826; died 9 July 1827 The following text is from Robert Corlew's "History of Dickson County": Professor Ebenezer Erskine Larkins, who devoted nearly a half century to teaching in public and private institutions of Middle Tennessee, was one of the best known of the early faculty members of Tracy Adademy in Charlotte. Born and reared in what is now Houston County (Dickson Co. then), Larkins came as a young man during the 1830's to take charge of Tracy, and for the most of the next half century served either as teacher or principal. It's tragic to me that a person so well-respected and influential lies in an unknown grave in the Town Cemetery in Charlotte. Public records show that as his place of burial, but anyone who knew the spot has long since died. Charlotte
