Comment on Adkins by Gina Lipp

Hi Stan and Roberta,
Roland’s name is Harry Roland/Rowland Adkins. Our Adkins name has also been spelled Atkins in the Adair County 1810 Census.
From research done by the Haney and Curtis Tree, Ancestry.com (2003), they have the following statement, “Permission from John Goode (1807) to have liscense issued to Harry Roland Adkins and Judith Goode (my daughter) to marry. Witnessed by Robert Goode & Joseph Harden.”
It goes on to say,
From letter in KY library: The granddaughter of Ruth Adkins has a deed in her file that reads as follows: By their deed dated August, 15, 1823, “William and Polly Adkins of the County of Adair, KY, to Rowland Adkins, of the Co of Adair, KY, “conveyed land the the boundaries of ……… This information was found in The Republican Records Nov. 1, 1929 heading Relics of the Past.
On another document I have that Glen Hill had given me….Land Warrants from Adair County…August 24, 1824, William Atkins and his wife, Mary, to Robert Goode, 2 tracts on the Green River.
Also, there was a lawsuit filed by Roland ( August 8, 1822) against the widow of John Adkins (who passed away in 1822) evidently, because of
land purchased by Roland from John and the deed was never finalized before his death.
If you want copies of these documents, I would be happy to email them to you.
One theory I have about Roland’s name is that perhaps it could be their mother’s or grandmother’s maiden name?……Perhaps spelled Rowland or Roland. Just a thought….
