My grandfather Garneth McCormick and Asa were the sons of George Washington McCormick of the McCorkle area. Asa's mother was Bettie Hill. George and Bettie divorced and George married again to Serepty Smith. Bettie must have married an Adkins. Here is a list of Uncle Asa's (or Acey as it was pronounced) mother's other children and where the 1/2 brothers were living in 1960 when Asa died: Spence and Bill Adkins, both of Spurlockville, Mrs. Maggie Adkins, Mrs. Mary Hill and Mrs. Sally White. Does anyone have any additional information on this side of his family? Asa lived most of adult life in Boone County, but had deep ties to Lincoln. I have found more than one Spence Adkins. Bettie's son may have been named for a kinsman of named Spencer Hill.

Burns did not list mother or father. I know Hallie provided the information when James died but I don't know if he was correct. I have not been able to located the James and Alice Burns with the children from the 1900 census anywhere else. Do you think the 1900 census could be wrong? The heavier ink makes me think this, but not 100% sure. Would love to find the second family.

It seems that there is two Alice A Lewis's that both married a James C. Burns. One having a father of JC and the other with the father of David. The information on James C Burns death cert. says his father was JC Burns born in Ohio., but census records say VA/ WV and Alice was born in Ohio. It is getting a bit confussing. I don't know if the boundry lines changed or just put the wrong info down. But I can't imagine the Alice and James I am tracking having the same children as the other Alice and James. So I wanted to double check that we are talking about the same Alice Burns. Thanks
