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.
