Notes:

Married:
Residence of both Alva Couch and Verna May King was in Saline, Drew Co, AR on the date of their marriage.

Notes:

Some children of AJA used ADKINS, while some used ATKINS. All children were born of the same parents.

Son, Virgil, said Andrew's brothers were Emery and Bellam.

Birth:
(Family recollection was that Andrew was born in Cabell County; however, his death record shows Putnam County and is undoubtedly from the memory of the informant, his son, Ray.)

VIEW BIOGRAPHY

Name:
• Andrew's draft registration, dated September 12, 1918 and signed by him, shows him with a birth date of August 10, 1883. This document is personally signed by Grampa Andrew, spelling his last name ATKINS.
• The Family Bible of his brother, Oliver Balaam ATKINS, gives his birth date as 8 Aug 1883.
• Census records do not agree on his age (which is not unusual for census records).
• Family recollection of his children while living agreed he was born on August 10, 1884.
• Further notes on spelling the family name:

• Further notes on spelling the family name:

• Grampa Andrew's children spelled it both Atkins and Adkins, with some children spelling it one way part of their life, and the other way another part of their life.
         • An example is one son's entire family spells it Atkins, and yet when he gave the information for Grampa Andrew's death certificate, he gave it as Adkins.
• Grampa Andrew himself, spelled it Atkins like his father, William C. Millard "Bud" Atkins, had spelled it.
• Beyond Andrew's father, Millard Atkins (sometimes called "Bud"), Andrew was preceded by
   1. His grandfather was Jesse ADKINS
   2. His great grandfather was Allen ADKINS
   3. His great great grandfather was Thomas (Thomas Tindel "Tinsley") ADKINS
• In addition to this,
   1. His grandmother, Jesse's wife, Letha, had a maiden name of ADKINS
   2. His great grandmother, Allen's wife, Mahala, had a maiden name of ADKINS
   3. His great great grandmother, Thomas's wife, Susannah, had a maiden name of ADKINS
• Although there are other explanations, the family name Adkins derives from a naming custom where families would indicate the earliest male ancestor by using the first two letters of the ancestor's given name, and add "kin" to it, indicating they were his kin, generations later. Using this convention, Adkins (plural) are the kin of Adam.

Notes:

Birth:
Wm. C. Millard's son's birth certificate lists him (Millard Sr.) as born in Elk River, WV; which is in Kanawha County and eastward, no part of which is in Cabell County. However, basically all of WV was originally Kanawha County. But if he was born in 1857, WV did not exist as a state until 1863.

Although Millard's death certificate gives his birth year as 1857, his son, Oliver Balaam's family Bible gives it as 1859.

Name:
William C. Millard Atkins went by Millard. He is said by his grandchildren to have had a nickname, "Bub", apparently after his grandfather, Robert Atkins. I've never heard why he has an additional middle initial "C".

William married Mary Jane Richmond. Mary was born est 1861 in VA; died est 1892 in WV. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Apparently, William H. Horton's middle initial stands for Holley, his mother's maiden name.

2nd husband of Octavia Egnor.

November 3, 2008, received email re 1910 census data, ancestry.com and One World Tree data as follows:

1910 census from Curry, Putnam, West Virginia showing Mary and Andrew Jackson Atkins (both age 27) married with children of Nada age 2 and Lilly age 1 month. [note: This "Lilly" has to be Sally, born 1910 - addl note: Sally's 1909 birth record has been found, and her birth name was Cicly.]

ancestry.com for Mary Frances Horton with a date of death of 1928. The census
record was located in Mullins family tree.

One World Tree shows a Mary Horton (b 1900 d 1928) married to Andrew Adkins. Her father is shown as William Horton and mother as Octavia Egnor b abt 1866, d 1888.
=====
One LDS record shows a specific marriage date of October 12, 1882, Kanawha Co, WV, and shows William's middle initial as H. It also shows Octavia as Octaby.
====================

One record shows Lydia Woodrum as another wife of John Washington Egnor. Also she is shown as another wife of William Horton, husband of John Washington Egnor's daughter, Octavia Egnor; however, another John Washington Egnor is his son, Octavia's brother...a more probably match.

Carol Setliff's records show a Benjamin H. Plumley as born to Octavia and Plumley, but the H. seems to indicate he was son of Octavia and Horton, as there are three children listed with H. as middle name. Benjamin was listed as born May 1889; which conflicts with Willey H.'s birth year; however, Willey is also listed as born 1888. My personal records show a Balam Horton, which may be inaccurate or may be a nickname for Benjamin.

Birth:
Documentation on 1866 birth year not given, from a OneWorldTree family tree record.

Same for IGI record showing birth as 1857, Kanawha, VA and married to Octaby Smith. HOWEVER, the official record of his marriage to Octavia (as Octaby), gives him as 24 years old in October 1882. This would mean he was born most likely in 1858...or possibly in 1857. It gives him as married in Putnam County, VA and then living in Kanawha County, WV.

William married Octavia Egnor on 12 Oct 1882 in Kanawha Co, WV. Octavia (daughter of John Washington Egnor, Sr. and Lucinda Frances Plumley) was born in 1860 in VA; died after 1930 in WV. [Group Sheet]

Birth:
No record has been found for Octavia's birth as an Egnor or death with any last name ascribed to her spouses. Family lore has it that she was an Indian of Cherokee descent, but no further information was given. As she doesn't show in the 1860 census and then shows in the 1870 census as 14 years old, it is possible she was informally adopted into the family. Without U.S., VA/WV or Cherokee records showing this, it is not possible to determine.

---

If she was Cherokee, none of the ancestors shown here were actually hers...unless some of them were actually Cherokee.

---

Interestingly, her grandchildren through her daughter, Mary Frances Horton Atkins, never provided either a first or last name or a specific tribe for Octavia when asked, even though decades later it came to light that Mary's oldest daughter at least, did know her name and tribe. This would be congruent with her children instructing her grandchildren throughout their lives to not reveal this information to avoid persecution and possible relocation as an Indian.

---

Information previously unavailable: A granddaughter of Octavia whose mother grew up away from her siblings after her parents died in 1928 & 1931, said that DNA testing has been done by one of the granddaughter's siblings, and no Native American blood was indicated. Those grandchildren had also been told about being descended from Native Americans (as had the granddaughter's mother's siblings). If more information comes to light and is suitable for showing here, I will add it at that time.

"Matthew J. King, farmer and merchant, Barkada, Ark. Mr. King, one of the oldest and best known citizens of Drew County, settled here in 1842, and there are but two citizens of his age, and but six citizens now living, who were living in this county at that time. Mr. King was born on August 5, 1820, and is the son of William and Cathering (McCauley) King, the father a native of North Carolina. The latter moved to Henderson County, Ky., with his family in 1831, cuultivated the soil, and there died in 1835. The mother then removed with her children, six in number, to Haywood County, Tenn., and there resided with her brother, James McCauley. Later she moved with him to Fayette County, and there died a few years afterward. Her children were named as follows Matthew J. (whose birth occurred in Orange County, N. C.), Nancy (widow of William Rowlit), William (deceased), Ellen, Catherine (deceased), and one child who died in infancy. The maternal grandfather of these children was a soldier in the Revolution, and was over eighty years of age at the time of his death. Matthew J. King worked on a farm to help his mother and there continued until her death, when he was bound out to L. C. Butts to learn the brick mason's trade. He remained with him for three years and then, in 1842, came to Arkansas, located in what is now Drew County (but then a part of Bradley County), and there followed agricultural pursuits for eight years. In 1850 he was united in marriage to Miss Caroline Newton, a native of Alabama, and the daughter of Jesse and Elizabeth Newton. Mrs. King died in 1880 leaving twelve children, sixe now living: Henry Neeley (married and resides in this county), Jesse Columbus (deceased), Albert (deceased), Mary E. (deceased), Laura A. (deceased), Ophelia (deceased), and William, Joseph J., James F., Sanford N. and Ida (all at home). After his marriage, Mr. King entered a quarter section of Government land, and has since been engaged in tilling the soil. He bought his present homestead, consisting of over 1,200 acres of land, with about 130 acres under cultifation, in 1868, and is also administrator of the estate of Jesse Newton (deceased). He owns a cotton gin (horse power) with a capacity of about three bales per day, and although his principal crop is cotton, he is interested in other occupations, and he and Mr. Oslin are in partnership in trading in mules, cattle, hogs and sheep. Mr. King also owns a half interest in the store at Barkada, owned by King & Oslin. Although in debt $75, he has made all his property by hard work and good business ability, and at the present time his taxable property amounts to over $13,000. He is a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, and in his political views is Democratic. He has been a member of the Masonic order, but has not affiliated with any lodge for several years. In 1864 and 1865 he was in Capt. Owens' company, was employed as teamster, and was never in any engagements."

Additional notes re Howell book information: The compiler noted in the book, that dates obtained from documents seemed to contain errors. In example, the death certificate of Henry Howe Connor (with his son, Thomas Wesley Connor as informant) is cited giving his death as 12 Oct. 1906 and birth as 15 March 1820, and offers an age calculation of 89 yrs, 6 mo, 21 days. However, those two dates actually calculate to 86 years, 6 months, 23 days...at best leaving one in doubt.
From today, 17 Nov 2021, Henry's dates will reflect those given on his gravestone.

Died:
He spent some years of his later life in the Soldiers Home at North Park, Kent Co, Michigan, but died on 12 Oct. 1906 while living with his wife in Detroit. - Ancestral Lines of Chester Everts Howell — Note that his gravestone gives Oct. 6, 1908.

Notes:

September 2021 Research by Doug Couch did not reveal ancestors or precise locations for Aaron J. Nash (Sr.), listed with Amelia as parents of Aaron J. Nash (Jr.) in his death record.

• The 1850 census or Royalton, Niagara County, New York, shows Aaron J. Nash (Jr.) & Margaret prior to their move to Michigan.

• History of Cass County, Michigan shows Aaron J. Nash (Jr.) & Margaret R. Nash arrived in Dowagiac, Michigan in 1854 from New York. The 1860, 1870 & 1880 censuses in Dowagiac show them as living there.

• Arriving in Washtenaw County, Michigan before 1840 (per census data), is one Aaron Nash (but arriving from where?). He is reported in 1840 as between 50-59 years of age (b.1881 or after), but in 1850 he is reported as age 66 (b.1784 in Connecticut).

• In New York, another Arron Nash is found living in Ballston, Saratoga County, New York in the 1840 & 1850 censuses. He is reported in 1840 as between 60-69 years of age (b.1771 or after), but in 1850 he is reported as age 82 (b.1768 in Connecticut), living daughter Mary Nash.

Without further data, it is not possible to determine exact information about Aaron J. Nash (Sr.). Of interesting note however is the fact that Royalton, NY is along the route going due west from Ballston, NY to Dowagiac, MI. View Route Map

My guess is that Aaron (Jr.) was born in Ballston, NY, moved to Royalton, NY and had the first four of his children there, then moved to Dowagiac, Michigan (likely after the death of his father), where he had two more children. His father, Aaron J. Nash (Sr.), born in Connecticut, only migrated to New York..

Notes:

ASSUMED CORRELATION OF RELATIONSHIPS (by Douglas Couch in 1997):
Will of Isabelle Johns gives children with Cowan surname and granddaughters Isabel & Eleanor Lamb. Isabel (given as Isabella) and Eleanor are daughters of Isaac Cowan Lamb & Mary Hendry. Thus, the relationships shown are assumed that Johns s her maiden name and her Cowan children derived from a previous marriage. It was given that Thomas Lamb and a Miss Cowan were the parents of Isaac Cowan Lamb. Since his children are given in Isabelle Johns will of 1793 as her grandchildren, it seems there is no other way the relationship could have existed.

World Family Tree, Ancestors of Andrew Ferguson Johnson and others received from the Phipps family (over 20 years ago) shows William Cromartie & Ruhamah Doane as the parents of (Annie Cromartie and) Thankful Cromartie.

However, the records of Donna Johnson (bounty@charlotte.infi.net), which is a more complete and extensive record (sent in response to my response to a post on World Family Tree), gives the William Cromarite that is married to Ruhamah Doane as the son of William Cromartie of Scotland and as the sibling of Ann E. Cromartie and of Thankful Cromartie that is married to Alexander Hendry. Because this latter record is more complete with dates and many siblings, and because the dates pertaining to all the children of William Cromartie of Scotland are chronologically sequenced as one would expect, pending documentation otherwise, the records giving William as the sibling of Thankful and not her ancestor will be accepted as accurate.

These two Johnson records are clearly referring to the same people, despite the variances.

Parker married Mary Lefon on 1 Mar 1792 in Montgomery Co, VA. Mary was born in 1765 in Franklin Co, VA; died before 1850 in Raleigh Co, WV. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

REFN: 22151

Name:
It may be that Mary had a middle name Virginia. Of three Elizabeths born to Parker, Elizabeth born first of the three was the daughter of Mary Lefon. However, that Elizabeth's death record gives her parents as Parker & Virginia Adkins. There are other Parker Adkins, clearly not her father and also not having a spouse named Virginia.

Thomas married Rosanna Meador Meadows on 22 Aug 1798 in Montgomery Co, VA. [Group Sheet]

This ancestral lineage for William Horton born Est 1829 and married to Mary E. Holley is partly documented by census, and his ancestors through Rial Horton to Samuel Horton (this family page) are primarily from The Kanawha County Family Tree Project of 7 Oct 2004 (https://freepages.rootsweb.com/~maudenna/genealogy/f2093.htm#f13075).

=================
Their Aegender notes: Aug 1999

Circumstantial evidence points to John Agner, Jr. and his wife Barbara being the parents of our Archibald Egnor!

Original findings concerning John Jr. are being re-examined. We now believe that the Johns in Rockbridge were confused and that John Jr. did go to Monroe County about 1823. Based on this and other circumstantial evidence, we are assuming that John Jr. is the father of Archibald and Elizabeth Egnor.

==========
Doug Couch notes 2008: Also given as "? Egnor" in One Family Tree family records. Gould family records show father of Archibald as Egnor with wife Mary. Apparently, there are serious errors with this lineage. Where shown as John Agner, wife Barbara, daughter Mary is born when he is 11, and dies when he is 98, an unlikely but not impossible relationship. The above comment from the Aegender family records-notes, about the "Johns in Rockbridge" being confused, is unclear. To keep children groups, and people given as spouses organized, Barbara is shown with her children, and Mary (Polly?) is shown with hers. The claim that John Agner (Jr.) and Barbara are the parents of Archibald does not agree with the family linkage given in the same database where the comment was entered. Therefore, it is here "assumed" that there were two spouses, and that Mary and/or Polly is the mother of Archibald...until better documentation can be found.

Birth:
also given in Mullins family records as b.1773...a less likely date

John married Barbara. Barbara was born in 1770 in MD; died in 1821 in VA. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Died:
death also given as abt/bef 1830

Notes:

Doug Couch 2008 note: Ancestors and any collateral lines beyond Jeptha Massie 1779-1853 are from online family data of Paul E. McFerrin:
http://home.att.net/~paulmcferrin/geneology/fam00590.html

Neither a Lahoma nor Lany are listed as children of Jeptha Massie and Anna Meadows in the McFerrin data. Thus the McFerrin data is unclear whether correctly connected to Lany.

Ancestors given by McFerrin data:

1-Jeptha 1779
2-Jeptha Massie 1750 VA - 1855
2-Mary Sowards b.VA
3-John Massey 1720 MD - 1781 MD
3-Sarah Strong
4-James (Massey)
4-Rachel Jayne
5-Nicholas Massey, Jr. abt 1662 - 1724
5-Mary? abt 1666 - abt 1725
6-Nicholas Massey abt 1630 - abt 1693, md. MD
6-Anne b.MD

This general lineage is reiterated in the billmassey data at
http://mysite.verizon.net/vze7wwc2/index.html

Extremely lengthy researched lineage of the Massey family (not currently connected to this line) is found at:
http://masseyfamgenealogy.tripod.com/a1.htm#g1
This line goes back to the 10th century.

Died:
McFerrin data lists death 1853 in Lawrence Co, OH.

Jeptha married Anna MEADOWS on 21 Feb 1806 in Monroe Co, VA. Anna was born in 1788 in VA; died in 1860 in VA. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Doug notes 2008:

Anna Meadows given in Mullins records as born 27 Feb 1806, unlikely spouse relationship and impossible son relationship. 1850 census shows Jeptha Massie, wife Anna and son William, with Anna's estimated birth year as 1788, a much more likely date, used here.

Anna's children are given differntly in different records. Thomas, Lahoma/Lany, William, and Jeptha are common to the various records (except one doesn't show Lahoma/Lany). Her other children's birth years, extend her child-bearing years beyond what one would expect, and children cited as by Jeptha Jr's second wife overlap those years. They are included here for reference, but many may not be her children. Similarly, other records looked at do not list a second wife. For my ancestors, I will make an effort to obtain documentation of their relationships.

Died:
McFerrin data lists death place as Lawrence Co, OH.

According to "History and Genealogy of the Page Family...", p.125, John returned to his home state of Connecticut after some two decades in Sherbourne, Chenango County, New York, and died in the house where he was born in Norwalk. Pages 125-126 give his military record in the Revolutionary War. "The Hale Collection of Connecticut Cemetery Inscriptions, 414-10 St. Paul's Cemetery Records - Norwalk, Fairfield County, Connecticut" confirms he was buried in Norwalk.

John married Eunice Lathrop on 13 Nov 1765 in Amenia, Dutchess Co, NY. Eunice (daughter of Melatiah Lathrop, Sr. and Mercy Hatch) was born on 14 Nov 1745 in Kent, Litchfield Co, CT; died on 25 Jan 1802 in Sherburne, Chenango Co, NY. [Group Sheet]

Pierre married Catherine Meloche on 02 Jun 1800 in Assumption, Province of Quebec (Ontario), Canada, GB. Catherine was born in in Detroit River Area, Quebec, Canada. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Buried:
Some confusion exists regarding the reinterment of Alexander's and Rachel's; which were moved from the Old Kirk churchyard in 1883 to Bowmanville Cemetery. Said to have been moved to his son Gordon Drummond Fletcher's plot, they are not there. However, there are two unmarked non-empty graves next to the grave of Alexander's great uncle, Drummond Gordon Fletcher. Neither those graves nor Alexander's or Rachel's graves are in the cemetery interment records. Please view the provided PDF file for more information (same as media under Headstones below).

Alexander married Rachel Corwin. Rachel (daughter of Joseph Corwin and Elizabeth Hixon) was born in 1777 in NJ; died on 23 Apr 1847 in Darlington, Ontario, Canada; was buried after 23 Apr 1847 in Old Kirkyard, Bowmanville, Darlington, Ontario, Canada. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

also listed as born 1771, age 75 at death

Buried:
Said to have had Rachel's and Alexander's graves moved in 1883 to (their son) Gordon's plot. It is unclear if that plot was in the same non-located cemetery (Old Kirkyard, in Bowmanville). They did have a son named Drummond Gordon Fletcher.

Notes:

A pen picture of Alexander Fletcher was written in 1896 by his grandson J. Wesley Fletcher. Grandfather soon after marriage settled below the Whirlpool on the British side of the Niagara where Uncle John was born. He afterward about 1800 moved to Darlington where he was Major of the 2nd Durham Militia and one of the first magistrates of Durham County then a part of York. He was a small man of considerable attainments; was very bright, systematic, shrewd, active, nervous, quick tempered, a very loyal British subject and a strict Presbyterian. He died in his 78th year and Grandmother (Rachel Corwin Fletcher) in her 72nd year." —The Ancestral Lines of Chester Everts Howell, Finch 1976
