Henry A. Adkins

  General Notes:

Henry's birth date of May 18, 1859 is reported in the 1950s by Harry T. Adkins, grandson of Greenberry. His year of birth is confirmed in census records. Harry indicates that Henry never married but this appears not to be the case.

See general notes on suspected sister (possible wife), Nannie B. Adkins (born ca 1863).

The 1900 Federal Census for Pittsylvania Co., Va. (ED#71, Sheet 1, page 224A) records Elizabeth Adkins (June 1923) with daughter Isabel (Dec 1840), son Henry (May 1864), and daughter-in-law Nannie B. Adkins (June 1866) and grandsons Letcher W. (Apr 1891) and Walter K. (July 1897). It is uncertain whether or not this Nannie B. Adkins is an unmarried daughter of Elizabeth or is married to Elizabeth's son, Henry (although the census records "daughter-in-law"). This census indicates Nannie B. and Henry have been married 10 years with 2 children, however, lines are drawn through the 10s.

The 1910 Federal Census for Pittsylvania Co., Va. (ED#89, Sheet 1A, page 68A) records a divorced Henry Adkins (54) who could be Nannie's exhusband. One page over (68B) is Nannie B. Adkins (46) and sons Letcher W. (19) and Walter K. (11) Adkins. This only gets more confusing with the 1930 census indicating a Nannie B. Adkins married to a Thomas Adkins for 20 years and a son Walter K. Adkins living with them?!?!? See general notes on Thomas P. Adkins for the 1930 census facts.

Henry is mentioned as survivng in his brother Green Berry's May 1930 obituary as is his sister, Mrs. Thomas Adkins.

Henry married Living

Henry next had a relationship with Nancy (Nannie) B. Adkins circa 1890 in Pittsylvania Co., VA. (Nancy (Nannie) B. Adkins was born about 1862 in Museville, Pittsylvania Co., VA and died after 12 Sep 1918 in Callands, Pittsylvania Co., VA.)
