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