2. | Clarkson Adkins was born in Jan 1845 in Fayette Co, VA (son of Rickells Adkins and Lavina Willis); died in 1928 in Slab Fork District, Wyoming Co, WV; was buried in Adkins Cemetery, Glen Fork, Wyoming Co, WV. Notes:
Name:
Censuses show Clarkson as Clark or C.A. Adkins. It may be that he went by C.A. like a first name (standing for Clark Adkins) and census takers added his actual last name in addition to the name he went by (C.A.). Information regarding his father Rickells Adkins indicate Clark's middle initial was O (undocumented). Being called by two initials (usually indicating a first and middle name) was a common practice.
Clarkson married Louisa Jane Richmond on 27 Mar 1872. Louisa (daughter of Samuel Lewis Richmond and Jane Fleshman) was born on 8 Aug 1854 in Raleigh Co, VA; died on 13 Feb 1923 in Slab Fork District, Wyoming Co, WV; was buried in Adkins Cemetery, Glen Fork, Wyoming Co, WV. [Group Sheet]

16. | Jacob Adkins was born in 1725 in Goochland Co, VA (son of William V. Adkins, Sr. and Elizabeth Parker); died in 1810 in Greenbrier Co, VA. Notes:
REFN: 1149, History of Summers County, By Judge James H Miller, Page 474
One of the oldest families of people in all this region of the New River Valley was that of Adkins or Atkins. They are said to have come into this region during the time of the Revolutionary War, and were first discovered living under cliffs on the Summers side of the river from New Richmond Falls, supposed to be the magnificent cliffs in the canyon at the mouth of Laurel Creek which empties into the New River half a mile from Lick Creek at New Richmond Post Office.
They were hunters and trappers in the earliest days, and have continued so as long as there was game in this region, and their descendants are scattered one place and another throughtout this region and other counties. Once in awhile you will find a member of the generation rising above the common level, but no great advancements have been made in this race.
There was a Parker Adkins, a man noted for his nose, the end of it being half the size of a man's fist; Riley Adkins, known as the "Chestnut Mountain Lawyer"; Leonard Adkins living in the Chestnut Mountain area; Albert Adkins, one of the most intelligent, lives near Hinton. Hen Adkins, one of the race, was drowned in Laurel Creek with L. M. Alderson's wedding suit on. Mr. Alderson was married twice and this was the suit he had purchased for his first marriage. He said that he sold a steer to secure the broadcloth suit.
Sometimes the name is spelled Atkins and sometimes Adkins.
The Gills are said to have come into the country about the same time and to have lived about the same way. The Gills and the Adkins have intermarried. There is an intelligent family by the name of Atkins, now residing in the Little Bluestone country of a different generation. A thriftless, harmless, indolent, unambitious race of people as a race, but without malicious cunning or dangerous, indigenous race are the Gills and Adkins.
Possibly the ancestors were Tories who emigrated into this then fastness to escape military service.

In accordance with the Mormon Church at Salt Lake City, Utah, a William Adkins was born on March 28, 1689, and was as son of John and Elizabeth Bromwell Adkins, of Sandy, Bedford, England. Our proven William Adkins (Adkinson) was said to have been born about 1690, which is about the same as March 28, 1689. Based on the above, we concluded that the William Adkinson, son of John and Elizabeth Bromwell, born on March 28, 1689, and William born about 1690, are the one and same person. Assuming this to be true (at least until so meone, some time can prove differently), we are listing our Adkins relatives or progenitors as originating in England.
Possible ancestry of William V. Atkinson:
Using number 1, as Henry Adkins, born about 1530, who married Francis Edwards, born about 1535, who could have bee n a descendant of William Adekyn of County, Somerset Shire, England, who was born about 1327, and died about 1377.
Number 2, Thomas Adkins (son), born February 6, 1584, in Sandy Bedford, England, and married Hester Frasure.
Number 3, Thomas, born about 1610, in Sandy, Bedford, England, and married Agnes (unknown) Adkins, born about 1615.
Number 4, John Adkins (Adekyn or Adkinson), born April 7, 1639, in Bedford England, and married Elizabeth Bromwell.
Number 5, William Adkins (Adekyn or Adkinson), born March 28, 1689, married Elizabeth Parker, on January 17, 1716, in the Saint James Episcopal Church in Henrico County, Virginia. Elizabeth Parker was the daughter of Richard and Mitha Parker. St. John's Episcopal Church is located near Richmond, Virginia. During this early time period the church was some distance from the city, but as Richmond grew the new developments surrounded the church until the church became part of the city of Richmond. It was in St. John's that Patrick Henry in 1775 gave his famous "give me liberty or give me death speech.
Elizabeth's father, Richard Parker, indicated the marriage of his daughter, Elizabeth Parker to William Atkinson (Adkins) in his "will" dated Mar. 6, 1726 in Henrico County, Virginia. Richard and Mitha Parker lived on "Four Mile Creek", in Henrico County, Virginia. William and Elizabeth lived on Machumps Creek on the Savannah River and later moved to the Pigg River in Virginia.

VIEW INFORMATION SUGGESTING INCORRECT LINEAGE
From email received from Penni Brough:
Comments (William V. Adkins b. 28 Mar 1689 Henrico Co, VA d. Abt 1774 Henrico Co, VA): I've been doing some research in the county records for Bedfordshire, Eng. and would like to make some corrections to the William Adkins line.
1. John Adkins (supposed father of William Adkins) was married to Elizabeth Bromsall not Elizabeth Bromwell.
2. John and Elizabeth had a son William chr. 28 Mar 1689, Sandy, Bedfordshire, Eng. not Henrico Co. Va.
3. John Adkins, Elizabeth Bromsall Adkins and William Adkins their son all died in Sandy, Bedfordshire, Eng.
The records show:
1. John Adkins m. Elizabeth Bromsall 4 Jun 1665, Sandy, Bedfordshire, Eng
2. William Adkins chr. 28 Mar 1689, Sandy, Bedfordshire, Eng.
3. John Adkins d. 17 Dec 1692, Sandy, Bedfordshire, Eng.
4. Elizabeth Adkins d. 17 May 1699, Sandy Bedfordshire, Eng - Widow
5. William Adkins d. 9 Sep 1704, Sandy, Bedfordshire, Eng - Orphan
As far as the Adkins line further back:
1. There is a Thomas Adkins chr. 2 Jun 1584 son of Henry in Sandy, Bedfordshire, Eng.
2. There is no record of a Thomas Adkins marrying Hester Frasure. There is a Thomas Adkins m. Joan Stevenson 1 Aug 1599. Thomas Atkinson m Mary Freeman 1 Nov 1599. Thomas Atkyns m. Joan Birdsley 10 May 1613. Thomas Adkins m. Rebecca Lenge 8 May 1617. No marriages in Sandy, Bedfordshire, Eng.
3. There is no marriage record for Thomas Adkins m. Agnes. That information comes from John Adkins' christening record. There is Thomas Adkins m. Margery Foster 2 Dec 1621 and Thomas Adkins m. Ann Underwood 16 Oct 1623. There are no John Adkins marriages for that time period. No marriages close to the 1638 christening date of John Adkins and John seems to be the only child of Thomas and Agnes. No Adkins marriages in Sandy, Bedfordshire, Eng
4. John Adkins chr. 7 Apr 1639, Sandy, Bedfordshire, Eng.

Name:
(Adkins in this family also given as Atkins & Atkinson)
Birth:
I've found no documentation of parents for William V. Adkins (Atkins, Atkinson). Long-standing information of his parents as John Thomas Adkins, Jr. and Elizabeth Bromwell (presented on this site and many others for many years) have contradicting evidence suggesting these were not his parents. The William Atkins/Adkins born 28 March 1689, was born in Sandy, Bedfordshire, England and was buried there 9 September 1704, preceded by both his parents, who were also buried there (i.e.-not in Virginia).

From Family notes of Virginia Pierce: "Elizabeth Parker is the daughter
of Richard Parker and Mitha of England. She married 17 Jan 1716 William
Atkinson in the St. John's Episcopal Church in Richmond, Henrico Co.,
Virginia. The descendants of William Atkinson shortened the name to
Adkins.
From Adkins' Family History:
"Very little is known of Elizabeth as women were seldom mentioned in the
official records of the day. She was born ca 1695. This date is pretty
well locked up as she was married in 1716 making her in the range of 21
(an age about average for the time). Her children were born between the
nineteen yr. period between 1717 and 1735 (the hear of her child bearing
yrs). As mentioned above she was the daughter of Richard Parker who with
his family lived on the James River at the head of Four Mile Creek in
Henrico Parrish. "
On Ancestor chart from Virginia Pierce, it lists Elizabeth's birth as
1695,in Lawrence Co., Kentucky
Ancestral File has an entry that list Elizabeth's death place as
Goochland, Va. This entry also takes her line back several more
generations.

Note: William and Elizabeth were married in the St. John's Episcopal
Church in Richmond.

212. | Jacob Miller, Sr. was born est 1702 in Hesselbach, Hessen, Germany (son of John Peter Mueller and Ann Margaretha); died on 18 Dec 1772 in Augusta Co, VA. Notes:
Below is an excerpt from Part I, Chapter One, Genealogy of Jacob Miller and his Descendants (With Some Brief History Thereto), by Everett W. Miller, 1953. Note that local records were destroyed by fire, and existing records came from other sources, including records in Washington, D.C.
— Note that this work is a compilation of records, recollections and other previous works.
"According to Government records obtained by Sigfus Olafson, Jacob Miller was born in Germany in the year 1702 and came to America with his parents in 1715. They settled about 30 miles from the Port of Philadelphia, at a place known as Faulkner's Swamp. Here Jacob, the boy, lived to manhood and at the age of 23 married a German girl of the same name, who either came over with them, or at a later date; more probably at a later date, since she was from another part of Germany and spoke a different dialect. One spoke High German, being from the Highlands, while the other spoke Low German, being from the Lowlands.
"Philadelphia being the port to which most of the early emigrants came, the nearby territory soon became thickly populated. Consequently, they spread outward into the less settled parts of the surrounding country-Westward into the Pennsylvania Territory; South and Southwestward into the Virginia Territory.
"JACOB MILLER and family went south westward along the southern fringe of the Allegheny Mountains and found their way into the Shenandoah Valley, making their home in the fertile valley of (now) Rockingham County, near the present town of Harrisonburg, where he reared his family."
