I believe I am descended from the line of James Burton Adkins/Nancy Pemberton through their son James Burton Adkins Jr./Malinda Cagle. I am having great difficulty finding information on James and Malinda. In the 1850 Wayne Co, KY census I found James living with his mother Nancy, several siblings, 2 Sowder children, and Elizabeth Pemberton. In the 1860 DeKalb Co, AL census, James has married Malinda and is living with her father, and his and Malinda's 3 children. Their neighbors are Morris and Martha Adkins(his aunt and uncle). And then James disappears. I wondered if he was in the Civil War and was killed. I know that my great-grandfather, Calvin Adkins was born in DeKalb Co, AL and died in Jasper Co, IA. Several of James and Nancy's children and descendants ended up in the Jasper Co, IA area, as well as some Cagles. Do you have anything in your research that could help me figure out what happened to James and Malinda? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I don't have but 3 children listed for James and Malinda, so I can't help in that line.

I do have considerable info on the ancestors. If you will write me direct:

My husband, Gene, is in the line of Benjamin Adkins via his daughter Sarah "Sally" who married Washington Young, their daughter Catherine married Joel Keeton, their daughter Sarah married Charles Elam, their daughter Martha Jane married William Dobbs Jr., their son Luther married Grace Burnett, and their son is Gene. Benjamin is ggggGrandfather. I show his father as being Owen Adkins who married Agnes Goad, both born in Pittsylvania, VA and died in 1790 in TN. If this ties to your information, I would be glad to share with you what I have and hopefully learn more from you.
