I respectfully suggest that anyone claiming to be descended from Parker Adkins & Blue Sky go back & read post No. 235. I also suggest that you read up on mitochondrial and Y-DNA testing. Mitochondrial DNA traces maternal ancestry back into antiquity and not just 5 or 6 generations as someone has stated. Y-DNA traces one’s paternal ancestry back into antiquity.
It it not possible to connect descendants of Littleberry Adkins to his maternal ancestry since any mitochondrial test of that descendant would lead to the tester’s own mother’s ancestry – not Littleberry. A Y-DNA test of a descendant of Littleberry would lead back to Parker Adkins – not Blue Sky or any other maternal ancestor.
The only possible way to connect back to a possible relationship to Blue Sky was to find a direct female descendant of Charity Adkins and administer a mitochondrial DNA test. This was done and described in post No. 235 on this site.
Since then, I put together a paper trail in order to try to prove the Blue Sky story. Unfortunately, it proved that the story was unbelievable based on what was going on at the time and the distances involved. It is available at http://www.parkeradkins.wordpress.com if you would like to read it. Continue past the end of the document to the description under First Blog Post for references.
My purpose for posting this is not to argue with people but rather to present known facts. Whether or not you choose to believe them is up to you.
