6. | 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]

48. | 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.
