I was looking back over several posts on the site and ran across this one from bio of Wm V: Gina Adkins Lipp Says:

Hi Gary Atkins,
We have also found that we are somehow related to William V Atkins and Mullins through DNA. I think your Bartlett who was born in 1809 was also a DNA match. Our last known Adkins descendant was Roland Adkins (born in 1784 in Virgina), married Judith Goode in Adair County, Kentucky in 1807 and moved to Carroll County, Missouri in 1828.We’re still not positive as to who were Roland’s parents. He had 3 brothers, John (died in 1822) in Kentucky, William and Joseph who moved to Carroll County. I did find an 1810 Census from Adair County that stated Absalom Atkinson, Isiah Atkinson and Thomas Atkinson were there. I believe they may have been brothers to your Morris. The other Atkins on the census that I could find were Roling (Roland), William and John (brothers) Some type of connection here….
This would indicate that my James’ parentswere Josephand Sarah. Did they have a child named William? Could this be the right “connection”?
