Hi, Rob - We are distant cousins. My mother (Grace Drummonds Lamm) was born in Tipton County in 1901, but was brought to Texas about 1902. I am an Easley descendant but your Adkisons intermarried with the Easleys. Your Jesse Bynum (I took this spelling from the Marriage record) Adkison married Eliza W. Easley born about 1835, a sister to my James Daniel Easley (1826-1894) I also have James Adkison (1840-1903), Jesse's brother, married Mary A. Easley (1833 -1894), buried Indian Creek Cemetery. They were all children of Binford Easley and Mary Parker from Halifax County, North Carolina The next generation also intermarried with the Easleys (Margaret and Eliza) My mother corresponded with some Adkisons, Mary & Wilbur, as well as Elnora Adkison (I still have the corresponce) about 1956. I do not have Eliza W. Easley Adkison's death date. I hope you have it. I am not collecting information on Adkison descendants, but I do try to carry he complete family in the first generations. I would like to compare notes.

I checked my ADKISON database and found an Edwin Franklin Adkison (1901-1969) married to a Willie Ruth Murphy (1902-1986). Would these individuals happen to be your great grandparents? I'm sure we are somehow related since my family originated from Tipton Co., TN. I was born in Covington in 1953. My line beginning with my grandfather is as follows: Wilbur Earl Adkison, Sr. (1893-1970) George Washington Adkison (1862-?) Jessey Binum Adkison, Sr. (1835-1878) John Adkison (1812-1876) If you see a connection I will be glad to share other information.
