I put all of the cemetery records under the post on Nancy Hines:

James Adkins
Birth 22 Jul 1815 in Adair, Kentucky
Death 22 Oct 1903 in Bloodland, Pulaski, Missouri
I also found an article: Missouri Newspaper Death Index
about John H. Adkins
Name: John H. Adkins
Age/Birth Date: 21 Aug 1833
Death Date: 7 Jan 1902
Date Reported: 10 Jan 1902
Newspaper: Fulton Telegraph (Callaway Co.)
This may or may not turn out to be a very valuable article. You may want to order a copy. Also, check Pulaski for any newspaper article they may have on the family. Even the old gossip column can hold some truth. Just don’t take it for gospel, I’ve seen far too many mistakes in them, because I knew the people involved personally, but it’s still fun to read and most of the facts were right, names and spellings were wrong, things like that.
Thanks as always,
Sheila Jean Adkins Metcalf
