Is Mathew ADKINS another son of Parker ADKINS (#139)? No. Greenbrier marriage records say he was the son of Thomas Adkins and Elizabeth was the daughter of Parker and Mary Lafon. Parker and Thomas were supposedly cousins, but I don't know how, since I have no parents for Thomas. 2. What is the maiden name of Elizabeth (???) ADKINS, wife of Mathew? Already have that from above. Dreama
