Roberta and Gina,
Check out entry number 299 by Hank Rogers on Sheila’s blog, dated Dec., 28th 2011. Scroll down to after Wm V Jr’s will, you will see one of his sons listed as Wm V. III – this should be the Wm who came to Missouri from Kentucky (father of James) but it says he died in Virginia in 1848, and is buried in a cemetary there. The birth date and death date dont coincide with what we consider to be our Wm III (father of james). I attached it below:
+ 29 M viii. William Vortimer Adkins III was born on 21 Sep 1760 in Henrico County, VA, died on 22 Oct 1848 in Pittsylvania County, VA, and was buried in Adkins-Hartman Cemetery, Pittsylvania Co., VA.
What do you guys make of this. It sounds pretty definitive, but I must be mis-reading it. I’ve read it multiple times and it seems I am not confusing what Hank Rogers has posted.
