1859 - 1921 (62 years)
-
Name |
William C. Millard Atkins [1] |
- 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".

Nickname |
Bub |
Born |
28 Jan 1859 |
Cabell Co, VA |
- 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.

• It is unclear who Isabella is in this census. However, she is too old to be a daughter, and neither Jesse nor Letha had a sister or known niece named Isabella. |

Lethia Adkins with William
• It is unclear where Jesse is at this time. However, William (age 38) is listed as a farm worker, and Jesse reappears in the 1880 census.
• It is unclear whether Letha/Lethia and William C in this census are Jesse Adkins wife and son. William's age fits, but Lethia should only be 29 at this time, rather than 34. |
