Dear Dusty,
Great Grandmother
Elizabeth Adkins (1807-1853)
d/o John and Josephine Johnson Adkins
I want to apologize up front for not fixing this back in 2009 when I talked to the woman that had originally did this lines research and put it on Ancestry. They thought she was Elizabeth Adkins, because most of the paperwork came back to Elizabeth Adkins, but its now believed that her name was Elizabeth Fuller. One son’s George M Adkins death certificate said that his mother was Survilda Fuller. I can’t find where Joseph ever remarried, but we can’t rule that out. I can’t find anywhere where Elizabeth is ever called Survilda or even Elizabeth S Adkins. But Elizabeth known as Bettie is believed to be the daughter of Thomas Fuller 1780 – 1850 & Rebecca Apperson 1779 – 1845. Rebecca & Rachel are believed to sisters. Most of this has been on my tree for a long time, but sometimes I forget about these old posts. I’ll try & get more concrete proof & fix this original post. The problem is that so few documents exist from this family line its hard to tie them all together.
As always,
Sheila Jean Adkins Metcalf

My name is Geannie H. Wright. I am the grand daughter of Med & Ella Adkins. I am the only child of their oldest daughter Mary Adkins Hammons & Lloyd G. Hammons. Mom & I were reading the list above of her bothers and sisters. There were three that were not listed: Gary Wayne Adkins 1954 , Earl Ray Adkins 1963, and a still born infant Paul A. Adkins. The Medford and Dewey are messed up, there was only Medford Jr. Adkins 1958. There were a total of ten children belonging to papaw and mamaw Adkins, six of whom are still living at the present time.
We were wondering if Mary Etta Adkins Williams is still living?

Hello Cousins,
I’m Robert, nephew of Uncle Med. We moved away from the Sandy Hook area when I was 7 or 8, but I well remember everyone who was born before that time. Mary Katty was my little buddy, barely out of diapers. I used to be close to my Aunt Mary, Dud, and Deborah.(Hi Deb!) Time and distance causes families to drift apart. I’m in Eunice LA, and in the phone book if anyone wants to call and catch up. Many thanks to those who make the effort to make these listings.
Note on my Great Uncle Henderson Adkins. His death date is incorrect. I remember seeing him in 1954, maybe as late as 1956.

Dear Robert,
First of all thank you for your comment. I want to apologize for my original post. it is wrong. James Turner Adkins mother was Elizabeth “Bettie” Fuller. I didn’t come back to this old post & make the correction. Its been fixed on my tree for a long time, but I do forget about old posts. It was what I had been given to start with it, but after some research it was fixed.
I should make those changes now.
Thanks as always & Welcome to the Family,

Sheila,
Thanks for looking at Henderson’s record again. The death date is definitely impossible. My great uncle Henderson Adkins, brother of
my papaw James Albert Adkins, Great Unckle of my father Leo, was alive in 1953. I know the 1942 date is impossible because I was not born until 1949, so he definitely didn’t die before I was born.
Little Henderson as we called him was about 5’5, a snappy dresser, and we looked forward to his visits. Last time I saw him he drove a snazzy 1953 Dodge
coupe just like this one. same color and everything. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:1951_Dodge_Coronet_coupe.jpg
May 15, 2014 at 4:27 pm
Messed that up. UNCLE of father Leo.
May 15, 2014 at 5:01 pm
I copied & posted his death certificate. I wonder who may filed it wrong. Someone will need to find his original & take it to the county to reprocessed. My Mom’s is wrong too but I’ve never went to get it fixed. I guess I should after seeing this. What does James Albert Adkins death certificate say?
May 15, 2014 at 5:17 pm
I posted his death certificate to the blog. I’m not sure if you can see this. I hope so, it shows that he had been institutionalized for 8 years & your uncle James S Adkins was the informant. He’s in the Sandy Hook Cemetery.
