Dear Theresa,
I’ll need more than a few days to look into his lineage, since it’s not on my tree. John Elijah Adkins & Sarah Francis Zachery Adkins are buried http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=27491755 posted photo by Peggy Yarbough, a quick internet search shows that she has been on this search for several years. You should contact her, if you haven’t already, to see what all she has on the family. I do see where she has posted her work at many different websites & a bible is referred to at one. A Family bible reference is promising. I’ll see what I can find referenced to him.
Thanks as always,
Sheila Jean Adkins Metcalf
