The ADKINS family which has both Archibald Mullins -- Nancy ADKINSand Elijah ADKINS and Elizabeth MULLINS, have parents listed in my files as Louis ADKINS 1795-B . Grainer Co. TN, and ELizabeth MONROE B 5 Dec. 1794 in Grainger Co., TN. Nancy-Archibald mar 8 Sept. 1827 in Grainger and Elijah-Elizabeth Mar 1 May 1835 in Knox Co., Ten. The ADKINS are traceable to Virginia, altho" there has always been a question about if ELijah and Nancy Ann HUNTER were his parents. There are 3 or 4 children listed on papers , census, etc., that do not explain them.... children from a first marriage of either one of the parents, orphans of older sibs. or ???? This is where the Indian stories come from, but I haven't been able to prove that since I started doing this frustrating work in 1975. ELijah and Nancy Ann's family if found in Ten. records and her family goes back a few more generations . Both of them are born in Montgomary Co., VA. Of course both families are found idn the D.A.R., and S.A.R. -----Original Message----- From: tnunion-request <tnunion-request@rootsweb.com> To: tnunion <tnunion@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sat, Apr 6, 2013 2:59 am Subject: TNUNION Digest, Vol 8, Issue 14 Today's Topics: 1.

She was born in 1813, not otally impossible for a family of several children. I have not seen any olid proof that they are siblings, but this is what I was told by a couple f different genealogists back in the 60s when I got started on the family. 2 different people from Knox & Union counties told me this, and while I aven't found anything to prove it, I haven't found anything to disprove it ither yet. Another family rumor that I've been looking at is the possibility that the ullens family were Melungeons.
