Hi, I received the following email from Ronnie Adkins about his intentions to publish volume 2 of his Adkins family genealogy book. I thought the rest of you might be interested in it. If you are interested in the book, email Ronnie directly at ronmar@knology.net. Take care, James ------------- Forwarded message follows ------------- Are each of you still interested in a Vol. 2 Adkins. If so do I have your family line including pre 1925 Photos? In the next week the decision to go or no go will be made. If there is enough interest for a GO then I have about three to six months of serious collating, typing, etc. After that time and several discussions with the publisher I will be able to give a price. If I do a hardback-as I prefer-I will have the back both sewn and glued-most family histories are only glued and come loose very easily. This cost about 5 dollars per book more but allows the book to last many times longer. Ronnie ronmar@knology.net

I don't know if this will help, but I found info that it is at Twelve Pole Creek. I have inquired a Lee Belcher who shows some pictures of the graves that are supposed to be there, on his website. He shows the graves of Tabitha (Vance) Browning, and her husband Francis Browning. If you know where it is exactly, please let me know. If he responds to my inquiry, I'll let you know. Thanks.
