Comment on Adkins by Stan Adkins

PS (continued from previous entry)…
another interesting thing to note; No where in following down through all the children, grand children and great grand children of the three earliest Adkins men in the Carroll County; John, William, and George – does the name Roland or Wiatt appear. One would think if Roland was a brother or close cousin, one of these men or one of their subsequent offspring would have named a child after Roland , or Wiatt – but there are none. I found this very intresting, especially concerning Roland. Roland was such a respected and important historic member of early Carroll County it’s very strange we dont see anyone naming their kids fter him. This suggests to me they (John, William and george)came down from another side of the family – and the original Roland of 1924 in Boone County was a cousin and not a brother, or else we would see his name reappearing in their descendants. Obviously, this is only an observation, and there is nothing to suggest categorically that I am correct in this suggesting this as a possibility. It is none-the-less avery compelling and thought provokng peice of genuine evidence. Very interetsing.
