All, I believe that John Wesley Adkins that married Sarah Adkins was the s/o Luke and Cynthia (Smith) Adkins. That would make them first cousins.

One for Sally Adkins has her birth as October 14, 1829 d/o Lewis and Sifie (Austin) and the other for Sarah Ann Adkins has her husband as John Wesley Adkins and parents as John Wesley and Sarah Ann Adkins which is obviously an error but it has her age as 91 which probably closer to being correct. She was also listed as having lived in the community for 75 years. Lewis and Libby (Haner) Adkins have the oldest child as Sarah Adkins age 14 in the 1850 Boone County, (West) Virginia census. The next child is Austin Adkins age 13 who died during the Civil War. The oldest daughter Delona Adkins was married Russell Hager July 25, 1846. I have wondered if Lewis Adkins married a first wife since Delona was born abt. 1831 and Lewis Adkins and Elizabeth 'Libby' Haner were supposed to have been married in 1834. Some have Lewis Adkins as being married a second time to Sarah. I believe the Sarah age 23 born in Logan County in the 1860 Boone County census was his daughter. A John and Sarah Adkins appear in the 1870 Jefferson Dist. Lincoln County Census as follows: John Adkins 34 Sarah 38 Evaline 4 Sarah E. 3 Venila 1 I have not found John and Sarah Adkins in the 1880 census. Sarah Adkins appears in the 1900 Carroll Dist., Lincoln County census as follows: Sarah Adkins Oct 1840 widowed with 10 children and 6 living Eveline Oct 1871 West Virginia Louisa Jun 1878 West Virginia Rufus May 1881 West Virginia U.

Thomas Nicholas Browing aft. 1910. Evaline Browning is the witness on both death records. Does anyone know who the parents of Joseph Hatfield are? Maybe Andrew L. and Frances (Pinnell) Hatfield.
