This is for Betty Russell # 176 above. Hello, my son is the 4th great grandson of Charity and Randolph Adkins. We have heard tale of this man,Henry Harless. Story goes that she had lived with him after the death of Randolph. We understand it to be in the capacity of taking care of him and his home (Caretaker). She never married him. A few years later Charity then died. Randolph and Charity are buried at the mouth of Racoon Creek, Branchland, WV. My son & I searched the Creek in Fall of 2012- there were no obvious signs of any gravesites to be found, however in fairness we are talking about burials that took place in the 1830′s. Just a couple of miles away is buried her 1/2 brother, Hezikiah Adkins of Bowen Creek, WV ( Rev. War Hero and Celebrated Baptist Preacher. Five miles further down the road is buried her full brother, Littleberry Adkins.
