Dear Sheila,
I just found your blog today. We seem to be 7th cousins. I descend down from Jesse’s brother Randolph or Randal Adkins, known parents William Adkins and Lydia Owens. I even have a picture of another brother of theirs, William V Adkins III born 1760 died sometime after 1848. I was shocked when I found the picture. My Dad looks so much like him. They could be father and son. It has been said through many generations of my family line that none of the children ever looked like their parents, that they looked like their aunts and uncles. Thank you for all your time and effort in our family research.
