I would like to know more about this line. Still trying to connect my ADKINS to a Cherokee line. My ADKINS took a lot of research to find that a] it is spelled both ways even in legal documents, b] right now I am stuck in GA with a David Atkins who had a son named Alexander b GA ca 1830 c] who had a son named Robert ADKINS (yes ADKINS) b 1854 we think TX. Robert went my Tom his entire life. Don't ask me why. In a 1902 Clay Co TX court case he is listed as Robert Atkins. It was the right one because his brother in law at the time mentioned in the court case is only the second surname in America to this day to come here from Germany.

Confusing line I have, but I try to trace down all leads. The other side of my line is already Cherokee but we know there is a connection through ADKINS or SHANNON- just have to find it.
