Notes for Elizabeth Adkins:
ELIZABETH ADKINS WAS BORN ON 19 NOV 1825 IN TAZWELL COUNTY,
VIRGINIA, BEING A DAUGHTER OF ISAAC AND POLLY LUSK ADKINS.
AS A YOUNG CHILD OF 10 YEARS ELIZABETH WOULD MIGRATE ALONG WITH
HER PARENTS INTO THE CARTER COUNTY, KENTUCKY AREA, SETTLING IN GRANT,
WILLIAMS CREEK AREA OF CARTER COUNTY, KENTUCKY.
LIVING NEAR THEM ON WILLIAMS CREEK ROAD WAS THE FAMILY OF THOAMS
SEXTON GALLION, WHO SON, JONATHAN, WOULD MEET ELIZABETH ADKINS AND
MARRY ON 5 OCT 1843 IN CARTER COUNTY, KENTUCKY.
HER HUSBAND JONATHAN GALLION WAS BORN ON 25 OCT 1822 ON THE
LICKING RIVER, FLOYD COUNTY, KENTUCKY, BEING A SON OF THOMAS SEXTON
GALLION AND RUTH WATSON (JONATHON'S FATHER, THOMAS GALLION WAS IN
REALITY NAMED THOMAS SEXTON, BUT WAS USING THE ALIAS NAME OF GALLION
WHEN JONATHAN WAS BORN. HE LEGALLY CHANGED THE NAME FROM SEXTON TO GALLION IN 1845.
THE SEXTON BLOOD LINE IS OF IRISH DESCENT.
JONATHAN MIGRATED TO CARTER COUNTY, KENTUCKY WITH HIS PARENTS AND
FAMILY BY 1840 AND SETTLED ON WILLIAMS CREEK ROAD ABOUT 15 MILES EAST
OF GRAYSON, KENTUCKY. (WILLIAMS CREEK ROAD IS ROUTE 854 OFF OF
U.S. 60 AT KILGOR. 854 TURNS LEFT OVER THE HILL AT RUSH AND ROUTE 1654 GOES RIGHT ON SOUTH TO WILLIAMS CREEK, GRAND AND THROUGH MUSIC OVER THE MOUNTAIN TO DENTON, CARTER COUNTY, KENTUCKY).
JONATHAN AND ELIZABETH ASKINS GALLION BEGAN THEIR FAMILY LIVING
ON THE CROSSROADS OF WILLIAMS CREEK AND STRAIGHT CREEK ROAD IN CARTER
COUNTY, KENTUCKY. DURING THE 1860'S AND 1868, JONATHAN WAS APPOINTED
ROAD SUPERINTENDENT FOR WILLIAMS CREEK ROAD, HE ACTUALLY BUILT AND
HELPED TO MAINTAIN THIS ROAD. (WILLIAMS CREEK ROAD OR ROUTE 1654 IN
1998 WAS ONLY A DIRT ROAD AND FOLLOWED THE CREEK IN SOME PLACE FROM
RUSH TO THE END AT MUSIC. THE ROAD WAS GRAVELED LATER AND BLACK TOPED
SOME TIME IN THE 1960'S. AS MY, "MEREDITH PAUL LEADINGHAM'S" GRAND
FATHER, JESSE CAUDLE LEADINGHAM LIVED AT MUSIC, AT THE END OF STATE
ROUTE 1654, WHERE THE ROAD CROSSED OVER THE C & O RAILROAD. THE RAIL
ROAD WAS REMOVED IN THE 1970 AND ALL TRACE OF IT IS GONE, EXCEPT
THE WILLIAMS CREEK ROAD FOLLOWS THE OLD RAIL BED PAST MUSIC).
ELIZABETH ADKINS AND JONATHAN GALLION HAD TEN CHILDREN.
(SEE THEIR FAMILY GROUP SHEET FOR EACH CHILD).
WHEN ELLIOTT COUNTY,KENTUCKY WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1869, JONATHAN AND
ELIZABETH WOULD OBTAIN A LAND GRAND THERE ON ROCK HOUSE FORK ROAD IN
WHAT IS NOW WEBBVILLE, KENTUCKY (LOCATED ON STATE ROUTE 1 ABOUT 20
MILES SOUTH OF GRAYSON). JONATHAN WOULD SPEND TIME IN ELLIOTT COUNTY
PREPARING THE LAND AND BU9LDING A LOG CABIN (ON WOLF-PEN ROAD) DURING
THE 1870'S. ON 16 ARIL 1872 JONATHAN GALLION WOULD PURCHASE 223
ACRES OF LAND ON WOLF-PEN ROAD (NOW CALLED GALLION BRANCH ROAD) STILL
BELONGS TO DESCENDANTS OF JONATHAN AND ELIZABETH. THE CAS GALLION
CEMETERY (GALLION FAMILY CEMETERY) IS ALSO LOCATED NEAR THE HOME SITE.
JONATHAN GALLION SPENT MOST OF HIS LIFE CUTTING TIMBER FOR THE
THEN E.K. RAILROAD WHICH STARTED IN GREENUP, GREENUP COUNTY, KENTUCKY
AND RAN TO WEBBVILLE. THE TIMBER WAS USED TO MAKE RAILROAD TIES.
HE WAS ALSO A FARMER.

      6. Wiser Carnilues¹⁰ Adkins (Isaac⁹, Isaac⁸, Sherwood (Sherrod)⁷, William V.⁶, John⁵, Thomas⁴, Thomas Adkins³ Sr., Henry² Adkins, William (Adkins)¹ Adekyn) was born 10 Mar 1840 in Carter CO., KY., and died 22 Oct 1915 in Grant, Carter CO., KY.. He married Margaret Jane Williams 17 Mar 1859 in Randolf CO., AR.., daughter of Thomas Williams, JR. and Martha Shockley. She was born 16 Dec 1842 in Atlanta, Randolph CO., GA., and died 01 May 1925 in Grant, Carter CO., KY..

Notes for Wiser Carnilues Adkins:
WISER CARNELIUS ADKINS WAS BORN MARCH 10, 1840 , ON SHANTY BRANCH, ABOUT A MILE UP THE HOLLOW OFF WILLIAMS CREEK, AT GRANT, CARTER COUNTY, KENTUCKY. HIS PARENTS ARE ISAAC ADKINS, JR., BORN IN 1803, IN VIRGINIA AND POLLY LUSK, BORN IN 1788, ALSO IN VIRGINIA.
ACCORDING TO FAMILY HISTORY, HE MARRIED ON MARCH 15, 1860 IN RANDOLPH COUNTY, GEORGIA, (NEAR PRESENT DAY COLUMBUS, GA.) TO MARGARET JANE WILLIAMS, SHE BEING 17 YEARS OLD, A SCHOOL TEACHER AND THE DAUGHTER OF THOMAS AND MARTHA WILLIAMS OF GEORGIA, HER PARENTS OWNED A PLANTATION CONSISTING OF SOME SLAVES. ANOTHER RECORD HAS HER BEING MARRIED ON MARCH 17, 1859, AND BEING MARRIED IN RANDOLPH COUNTY, ARKANSAS?
THE FAMILY HISTORY CONTAINS INFORMATION THAT MARGARET JANE WILLIAMS ADKINS OWNED A CUTTING BOARD THAT WAS MADE BY THE SLAVES OF HER PARENTS IN GEORGIA, AND A DESCENDANTS OF HER'S HAD THE CUTTING BOARD IN 2001, BUT WHO?
FROM THE ANNA ADKINS KELLY FAMILY HISTORY DATED 1951, WE LEARNED THAT MARGARET JANE WILLIAMS ADKINS BEING A SCHOOL TEACHER, TAUGHT WISER HOW TO READ AND WRITE AFTER THEY WERE MARRIED.
HOW WISER AND MARGARET MET IS STILL A MYSTERY, UNLESS HE MET HER WHILE SCOUTING INDIANS IN THE MOUNTAINS OF SOUTHERN GEORGIA WHEN HE WAS SIXTEEN OR SEVENTEEN, AS HIS HISTORY STATES HE WAS AN INDIAN SCOUT WHEN HE WAS SIXTEEN? WE BELIEVE HE MET HER WHILE SCOUTING INDIANS IN THE SOUTHERN MOUNTAINS, MARRIED HER AND MOVED TO ARKANSAS WHERE THEIR FIRST CHILD, HENRY WAS BORN IN 1861.
ALSO ACCORDING TO RECORDS SENT TO THE AUTHOR ON MARCH 13, 2001 BY CHRLES PENNINGTON OF ASHLAND KENTUCKY, MARGARETE JANE WILLIAMS , WAS BORN IN GEORGIA ON DECEMBER 16, 1842, MARGARET JANE DIED IN CARTER COUNTY, KENTUCKY, ON MAY 1, 1925, AND IS BURIED IN THE ADKINS HOME PLACE CEMETERY, LOCATED ABOUT 300 YARDS OFF WILLIAMS CREEK, AT GRANT, CARTER COUNTY, KENTUCKY, BESIDE WISER WHO PRECEDED HER IN 1915.
WE KNOW FROM FAMILY HISTORY, THAT WISER LEFT WILLIAMS CREEK AT THE AGE OF 16, AND BECAME AN INDIAN SCOUT AND OFTEN TRAVELED AS FAR WEST AS CALIFORNIA, (FOR AT LEAST 4 YEARS). WE KNOW HE MARRIED MARGARET JANE WILLIAMS WILLIAMS, IN RANDOLPH COUNTY, GEORGIA, BUT THE MARRIAGE RECORD OF ARKANSAS SHOW THEM BEING MARRIED THEIR? WE DO KNOW THEY WENT TO MISSOURI AND ARKANSAS AS THEIR FIRST SON, HENRY WAS BORN IN ARKANSAS IN 1861.
THE 1860 LAWRENCE COUNTY, OF ARKANSAS PLACES WISER AND MARGARET THEIR IN 1860.
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWRENCE COUNTY, ARKANSAS CENSUS (PAGE 303 OF THE MICRO FILM 1860 CENSUS), WISER ADKINS WAS LIVING IN THE SPRING RIVER TOWNSHIP, LAWRENCE CO., ARKANSAS.
THE 1870 BOYD CO., KY. FEDERAL CENSUS SHOWS THE FOLLOWING;
WISER AGE 29, BORN IN KY.
MARGARET AGE 24, BORN IN GEORGIA.
HENRY H. AGE 7, BORN IN AR.
ANDREW A. AGE 4, BORN IN INDIANA.
MARGARET M. AGE 2, BORN IN KY.
THE 1880 CARTER CO., KY FEDERAL CENSUS SHOWS THE FOLLOWING;
WISER AGE 40
MARGARET AGE 38, BORN IN GA.
HENRY H. AGE 16, BORN AR.
ANDREW A. AGE 14, BORN IN INDIANA.
MARGARET M. AGE 11, BORN IN KY.
LURANA AGE 9, BORN IN KY.
ELLY AGE 6, BORN IN KY.
MAUDE AGE 4, BORN IN KY.
LETITIA AGE 2, BORN IN KY.
IF THE 1870 AND 1880 CENSUS ARE CORRECT THEN HENRY WAS BORN IN 1864, AND NOT ON JUNE 22, 1861, AS FAMILY HISTORY STATES, AND THAT WISER WAS STILL IN ARKANSAS IN 1864 AND LEFT FOR SHANTY BRANCH, WILLIAMS CREEK, CARTER COUNTY, KENTUCKY AFTER 1864.
ACCORDING TO THE ANNA ADKINS KELLY FAMILY HISTORY, AS TOLD TO BLANCHE KELLY SIMPSON , THEIR FIFTH CHILD JAMES B. WAS BORN APRIL 30, 1871, IN INDIANA ON THEIR WAY BACK TO MISSOURI AND ARKANSAS BY COVERED WAGON.
THE HISTORY GOES ON TO SAY THEIR COULD HAVE BEEN MORE THAN ONE COVERED WAGON IN THE WAGON TRAIN AS WISER'S MOTHER POLLY LUSK ADKINS WAS WITH THEM, ALONG WITH HIS SISTER SARAH, WHO HAD LIVED WITH THEM MOST OF HER LIFE AND SHE NEVER MARRIED, AND THAT LETITIA, KNOWN TO THE FAMILY AS AUNT TISH, AND THE SISTER OF MARGARET JANE WILLIAMS ADKINS ALSO LIVED WITH THE FAMILY FOR MAY YEARS.
IN 1871, WHILE ON THEIR WAY WEST TO MISSOURI, WISER'S MOTHER POLLY LUSK ADKINS DIED ON THE WAGON, AND THAT WISER HAD TO DRIVE ON UNTIL HE CAME TO A FARM HOUSE WHERE HE WENT IN AND TOLD HIS STORY ABOUT HIS MOTHER. THE FARMER WAS VERY FRIENDLY AND INVITED HI9M TO BRING HIS FAMILY IN, BUT HE HAD HIS OWN FOOD AND BEDDING IN THE WAGONS. THE GOOD FARMER TOOK THE CEILING DOWN FROM HIS KITCHEN TO MAKE A COFFIN. IN THOSE DAYS THE CEILING AND FLOORS OF THEIR HOUSES WERE BUILT FROM LOGS THAT HAD BEEN SPLIT IN HALF, AND MUCH WORK AND TO BE DONE TO FASHION A COFFIN FROM THIS TYPE OF LUMBER. THE FLOORS BUILT FROM SUCH LOGS WERE KNOWN S "PUCHEON FLOORS". ANNA ADKINS KELLY STATES THAT GRANDMOTHER, WHO IS POLLY LUSK ADKINS WAS BURIED AND LEFT BEHIND ONT HE FARM. THE LOCATION WHERE THEY BURIED HER IN UNKNOWN, AND WE WILL RECORD HER DEATH IN 1871. (POLLY LUSK MAY OF DIED IN INDIANA?)
IN 1871, DUE TO THE DEATH OF HIS MOTHER, POLLY LUSK ADKINS, WISER AND HIS PARTY TURNED AROUND AND STARTED BACK TO WILLIAMS CREEK, CARTER COUNTY, KENTUCKY, WHERE HE LIVED TILL ABOUT 1880, AND BEFORE HE STARTED OUT A SECOND TIME FOR MISSOURI AND ARKANSAS. ( OR WAS THIS THE THIRD TIME HE HAD STARTED WEST, AS I BELIEVE HE WENT TO MISSOURI AFTER HE MARRIED IN 1859)?
THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME DISAGREEMENT ON THE DATES AND PLACES WHERE WISER AND MARGRET JANE WILLIAMS ADKINS CHILDREN WERE BORN. THE ABOVE CENSUS STATES HENRY WAS BORN IN ARKANSAS, BUT THE FAMILY HISTORY AS TOLD BY THEIR DAUGHTER, ANNA ADKINS KELLY TO BLANCHE SIMPSON IN 1951 STATES THE FIRST FOUR CHILDREN WERE BORN AT RUSH, CARTER COUNTY, KENTUCKY, HENRY PROBABLY WAS BORN IN ARKANSAS BEFORE HIS PARENTS RETURNED TO KENTUCKY?
WE DO KNOW FROM FAMILY HISTORY AS TOLD BY BELVA ADKINS LEADINGHAM TO HER SON, MEREDITH PAUL LEADINGHAM THAT HER GRAND DAD WISER ADKINS BUILT A HOUSE ACROSS THE ROAD FROM THE BIG TWO STORY HOUSE HE BUILT IN 1897 OUT OF ONE POPULAR THEE THAT GREW IN PEA HOLLOW. (MY FATHER, REV. MEREDITH "MERDIA" FRANKLIN LEADINGHAM TOLD ME, PAUL LEADINGHAM IN 1970, THAT THE TREE GREW IN PICKLE HOLLOW. SO WAS IT PEA OR PICKLE HOLLOW?
SO IF THE ANNA ADKINS KELLY INFORMATION IS CORRECT, THEN WISER AND HIS PARTY WERE ON THEIR WAY TO MISSOURI IN THE SUMMER OF 1870 AS ANNA ADKINS STATES, JAMMIE WAS BORN IN INDIANA ON THEIR TRIP WEST BY COVERED WAGON. SINCE THERE IS NO JAMES B. ADKINS ON THE CENSUS, AS HE ONLY LIVED FIVE YEARS, AND IF HE WAS BORN IN INDIANA, THEN WISER WAS ON HIS WAY TO MISSOURI IN 1870, AND AFTER HIS MOTHER, POLLY LUSK ADKINS HAD DIED ON THE WAY, HE TURNED AROUND AND CAME BACK TO SHANTY BRANCH IN THE SUMMER OF 1870.
AS FOR AS I CAN DETERMINE, AROUND 1880, WISER AGAIN STARTED OUT FOR MISSOURI AND A SECOND TIME, BUT STOPPED IN ARKANSAS AND SETTLED NEAR WHERE LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS IN TODAY IN THE YEAR 2001.
IN 1884, ACCORDING TO THE ANNA ADKINS KELLY FAMILY HISTORY WISER AND HIS FAMILY WAS LIVING NEAR PRESENT DAY (2001) LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS, WHERE FRANK NEWBERRY ADKINS THEIR LAST SON WAS BORN APRIL 15, 1884, BUT WAS FRANK BORN IN ARKANSAS OR SHANTY BRANCH, CARTER COUNTY, KENTUCKY? He TOLD HIS DAUGHTER KATHRYN ADKINS CRUM THAT HE WAS BORN IN FREDERICK TOWN, MISSOURI. FREDERICK TOWN MISSOURI IS NOT THAT FOR FROM ARKANSAS. I CHANGED ALL RECORDS TO RECORD FRANK NEWBERRY'S BIRTH IN FREDRICK TOWN, MISSOURI.
SOME TIME BETWEEN 1884 AND 1897, WISER CAME BACK TO SHANTY BRANCH, CARTER COUNTY, KENTUCKY AND PURCHASED 419 OR WAS IT 360 ACERS OF LAND THAT HE FOUND COAL ON AND SOLD THE COAL TO A COMPANY IN ASHLAND, BOYD COUNTY, KENTUCKY. THE FAMILY HISTORY STATES THE CHILDREN OF WISER AND MARGARET JANE WILLIAMS ADKINS LIVED WELL OFF THE ROYALTIES THEY RECEIVED FROM THE COAL THAT WAS MINED ON THEIR DADS PROPERTY. THE FAMILY ALSO STATES HE PURCHASED THE 419 OR 360 ACERS OF LAND FROM THE LUSK FAMILY?
THE FAMILY ALSO STATES THAT WISER DEEDED EACH CHILD A 40 ACER TRACT OF LAND, AND THE REMAINING LAND WAS NOT DEEDED TO ANY ONE WHEN HE DIED IN 1915, BUT HIS SON FRANK NEWBERRY PAY ED THE TAXES ON THE PROPERTY, BECAUSE FROM FAMILY HISTORY I HAVE LEARNED THAT FRANK NEWBERRY LIVED IN THE TWO STORY HOUSE HIS DAD BUILT IN 1897 FROM THE DAY HE MARRIED IN 1902 AND UNTIL HE AND HIS FAMILY DIED. SOME SAY THE DEED TO THE LAND AND THE TWO STORY HOUSE WAS IN MARGARET JANES WILLIAMS ADKINS NAME? THE LAND PROBABLY WAS LEFT TO HIS WIFE MARGARET JANE WILLIAMS ADKINS UNTIL HER DEATH IN 1925. I DO KNOW FROM PERSONAL FAMILY HISTORY FROM MY MOTHER, BELVA ADKINS LEADINGHAM WHO WAS BORN IN 1907, MARRIED IN 1925, AND WAS RAISED BY MARGARET JANE WILLIAMS ADKINS. BELVA ADKINS WAS 13 MONTHS OLD WHEN FRANK NEWBERRY ADKINS'S FIRST WIFE ANNA STEWART ADKINS DIED OF DYPHERIA AND BELVA ADKINS LEADINGHAM TOLD ME, MEREDITH PAUL THAT MARGARET JANE WILLIAMS ADKINS TOL HER THAT SHE WOULD RAISE HER AND SEE HER MARRIED BEFORE SHE WOULD DIE. SHE DID LIVE TO SEE MOM MARRIED AS BELVA MARRIED REV. MEREDITH FRANKLIN LEADINGHAM ON APRIL 25, 1925, AND MARGARET JANE WILLIAMS ADKINS DIED ON MAY 1, 1925.
IN 1897, WE DO KNOW WISER WAS BACK FROM ARKANSAS AS HE HAD PURCHASED SEVERAL HUNDRED ACERS OF LAND AND BUILT THE TWO STORY HOUSE IN 1897 OUT OF ONE POPULAR TREE AS OUTLINED BELOW.
FROM AN ARTICLE WRITTEN BY FRED LUIGART, WHO INTERVIEWED HIS GRAND DAUGHTER GRACE PHELPS AND PUBLISHED THE ARTICLE IN THE COURIER JOURNAL EAST KENTUCKY BUREAU, DATED 1960, WE HAVE LEARNED SOME MORE HISTORICAL FACTS ABOUT WISER'S LIFE.
"THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE IS QUOTED FOR HISTORICAL
PURPOSES".
"QUOTE"
HEAD LINES OF THE ARTICLE" ONE TREE-ONE HOUSE.
SUB-HEADLINE, "BIG POPLAR FURNISHED ALL THE LUMBER FOR 2 STORY HOME THAT EX-INDIAN SCOUT BUILT ON HIS CARTER COUNTY FARM".
ARTICLE BY: FRED LIGART, COURIER- JOURNAL, EAST KENTUCKY BUREAU.
OF ALL THE GIANT TULIP TREES THAT ONCE THRIVED IN THE MOUNTAIN FORESTS OF EASTERN KENTUCKY, HAS THERE EVER BEEN ONE THE EQUAL OF A TREE THAT GREW IN CARTER COUNTY?
BOARDS CUT FROM THIS SINGLE TULIP, OR POPLAR TREE PROVIDED ALL THE WOOD USED IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF A LARGE, TWO-FLOOR, FRAME FARM HOUSE AT RUSH, CARTER COUNTY, KENTUCKY. (THE HOUSE WAS NOT AT RUSH, BUT SOUTH OF RUSH, ABOUT 4 MILES AT SHANTY BRANCH AND WILLIAMS CREEK AT GRANT, CARTER COUNTY, KENTUCKY. (GRANT WAS A STOP ON THE RAIL ROAD, WHICH WAS ABOUT 300 YARDS IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE).
THE HOME WAS BUILT BY THE LATE WISER ADKINS, AN INDIAN SCOUT,
IN 1897. ALL WOOD FOR THE FLOORS, ROOF, STAIRS, PANELED WALLS AND CEILINGS, PORCHES AND EXTERIOR SIDING WAS CUT FROM THIS ONE TREE.
"ONLY THE METAL FIXTURES, NAILS, TWO DOORS, AND WINDOWS CAME
FROM ASHLAND, BOYD COUNTY, KENTUCKY". SAID MRS. GRACE PHELPS, OF VAN LEAR, A GRAND DAUGHTER OF WISER ADKINS.
MRS. PHELPS HAS GATHERED INFORMATION ABOUT THE TREE AND THE HOUSE FROM HER MOTHER, MRS. ANNA KELLY, OF WEST VAN LEAR; FROM CHARLIE WILSON BRAINARD, OF RUSH AND FROM OTHER RELATIVES.
BRAINARD, NOW 90 (THAT WAS IN 1960, THAT HE WAS 90 YEARS OLD),
HELPED FELL THE TREE, AND HE WORKED AT THE ADKINS'S SAWMILL,
WHERE LOGS FROM THE TREE WERE CUT INTO BOARDS.
IN THE EARLY 1890'S ADKINS BOUGHT 400 ACRES OF FARMLAND RICH
IN TIMBER AND COAL ON WILLIAMS CREEK IN CARTER COUNTY. THE LAND ADJOINED THE FARM WHERE HE WAS BORN IN 1840, MRS. PHELPS RELATED.
HIS DECISION TO LOCATE PERMANENTLY IN CARTER COUNTY CAME AFTER YEARS OF CRISS CROSSING THE UNITED STATED.
HE BECAME A SCOUT WHEN HE WAS 16 AND OFTEN TRAVELED AS FOR
WEST AS CALIFORNIA, MRS. PHELPS SAID.
"ON ONE TRIP WEST," MRS. PHELPS RELATED, "HE RESCUED A 7 YEAR
OLD BOY WHOM INDIANS HAD KIDNAPED FROM A WAGON TRAIN." THE YOUTH WAS MISSING FOR THREE DAYS BEFORE ADKINS AND THREE OTHER MEN LOCATED THE INDIAN CAMP. WHEN THEY SAW THE SIZE OF THE ENCAMPMENT, ADKINS'S HELPERS REFUSED TO GO AFTER THE YOUTH AND RETURNED TO THEIR TRAIN.
ADKINS SNEAKED INTO THE CAMP AT NIGHT AND FOUND THE BOY ALIVE, TIED TO A STAKE. HE UNTIED THE YOUTH AND THE TWO ESCAPED.
ADKINS FOUND THE GIANT TULIP TREE HE CUT FOR HIS HOME GROWING ON A SECTION OF HIS LAND KNOWN LOCALLY AS PICKLE HOLLOW. IT IS ABOUT A MILE FROM THE SITE OF THE HOUSE.
THE TREE MEASURED SEVEN FEET IN DIAMETER AT THE STUMP, MRS.
PHELPS RELATED. FORESTERS ESTIMATE THAT IS WAS PROBABLY AROUND 200 FEET TALL AND 250 YEARS OLD,
"IT TOOK MR. BRAINARD AND HIS HELPERS 3 DAYS TO CUT It DOWN,
"MRS. PHELPS SAID. "THEY USED A CROSS CUT SAW."
THE LOGS WERE THEN CUT INTO BOARDS AT THE SAWMILL A MILE AWAY, HAND DRESSED, AND HAULED BY WAGON TO THE HOUSE SITE. ADKINS, ROBERT KELLY (MRS. PHELP'S FATHER,) AND A MAN NAMED WILLIAM CLAY BUILT THE HOME.
THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE HOME WAS NOT WITHOUT TWO UNFORTUNATE INCIDENTS.
THE WAGON DRIVER, MRS. PHELPS SAID, WAS KILLED WHEN A BOILER AT THE SAWMILL EXPLODED, AND A CARPENTER WHO WAS HANGING DOORS AFTER THEY HAD MOVED INTO THE HOUSE ACCIDENTALLY CUT HIS STOMACH OPEN WITH A DRAW KNIFE HE WAS USING TO DRESS DOWN THE EDGES.
QUICK THINKING BY MRS. ADKINS (WISER S WIFE, MARGARET JANE
WILLIAMS,SAVED THE MAN'S LIFE. SHE UNRAVELED A SILK HANDKERCHIEF, TOSSED THE THREADS INTO HER OVEN TO STERILIZE THEM, AND THEN SEWED UP HIS STOMACH.
EXCEPT FOR MINOR COMPROMISES FOR THE 20TH CENTURY, THE HOUSE TODAY (1960, WHEN THIS ARTICLE WAS WRITTEN, AND PUBLISHED), REMAINS THE SAME AS WHEN ADKINS COMPLETED IT IN 1898.
THE LARGE CENTER HALLWAY SEPARATES A BEDROOM FROM THE LIVING ROOM, DINING ROOM AND KITCHEN ON THE FIRST FLOOR. UPSTAIRS, THE HALLWAY DIVIDES TWO BEDROOMS.
BOARDS CUT FROM THE ORIGINAL TREE ARE STILL VISIBLE THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE, EXCEPT WHERE THE WALLS HAVE BEEN PAPERED. THERE IS NO STUDDING BETWEEN THE WALLS, INSTEAD ADKINS USED TWO 2-INCH PLANKS FACED AGAINST EACH OTHER FOR HIS WALLS.
IN 1960, THE HOUSE REMAINS IN THE FAMILY, MRS, FRANK ADKINS,
(ADA DAVIS ADKINS), A DAUGHTER-IN-LAW OF WISER ADKINS, AND HER TWO SONS, CARL 50, AND WILLARD, 39, NOW OWN IT AND LIVE IN IT.
"UNQUOTE"
AS OF MARCH 17, 1992, THE ADKINS HOME PLACE IN STILL STANDING AND BEING LIVED IN. SOME REMODELING HAS BEEN DONE, SUCH AS A BATH ROOM, NEW ROOF AND THE INSIDE OF THE HOUSE IS BEING REPAIRED, BUT YOU CAN STILL SEE THE POPLAR BOARDS ON THE CEILING AND WALLS OF THE UP STAIRS BEDROOMS.
THE TWO STORY HOUSE HAD TWO FRONT PORCHES, ONE ACROSS THE
FRONT UP STAIRS AND ONE ACROSS THE FRONT DOWN STAIRS. THE HOUSE HAD A BACK PORCH THE LENGTH OF THE KITCHEN AND DINNING ROOM. OUT BACK WAS A HAND DUG WELL FOR DRINKING WATER. A ROOT CELLAR BUILT INTO THE SIDE OF THE HILL FOR STORING POTATOES AND CANNED VEGETABLES. A SMOKE HOUSE FOR HOUSING THE HOGS AND CATTLE THAT WERE KILLED FOR MEAT, AND DOWN ALONG THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WAS A COAL HOUSE WHERE THE WINTERS COAL WAS STORED. THE HOUSE ALSO HAD A TWO ACRE GARDEN FOR RAISING THE GREEN BEANS, POTATOES, RHUBARB FOR PIES, AND OTHER GARDEN VEGETABLES REQUIRED TO FEED THERE LARGE FAMILIES.
WISER AND MARGARETE JANE WILLIAMS ADKINS HAD TEN CHILDREN AND RAISED THEM IN A ONE STORY HOUSE ACROSS THE ROAD FROM WHERE HE BUILT THE TWO STORY HOUSE IN 1897. IT APPEARS WISER ONLY LIVED IN THE BIG TWO STORY HOUSE HE BUILT IN 1897 TILL ABOUT 1902 WHEN HIS 10TH CHILD, FRANK NEWBERRY ADKINS MARRIED ANNA STEWART AND STARTED HIS FAMILY.
LOOKING AT THE BIRTH DATES OF THEIR CHILDREN, ALL WERE MARRIED AND GONE BY THE TIME WISER BUILT THE TWO STORY HOME WHERE HIS SON FRANK NEWBERRY ADKINS LIVED WHEN HE MARRIED IN 1902, FIRST TO ANNE MARY (ANNI) STEWART, WHO DIED OF DIPHTHERIA AT THE AGE OF 29, IN 1909, AND THEY HAD THREE CHILDREN: MARGARET JANE, HERMIA, AND BELVA "BELL" ADKINS LEADINGHAM WHO MARRIED REV. MEREDITH "MERDIA" FRANKLIN LEADINGHAM IN 1925 AND RAISED TEN CHILDREN.
FRANK NEWBERRY MARRIED A SECOND TIME TO ADA DAVIS ADKINS AND RAISED THIRTEEN CHILDREN IN THE TWO STORY HOME THAT WISER BUILT IN 1897. WISER AND MARGARET JANE ADKINS MOVED OUT OF THE TWO STORY HOUSE TO THE SMALLER ONE STORY ACROSS THE ROAD WHEN HIS SON FRANK GOT MARRIED IN 1902 TO ANNA STEWART.
I HAVE A PICTURE OF THE ONE STORY HOUSE ACROSS THE ROAD FROM THE TWO SHORY THAT SHOWS A LOG BARN IN THE BACK, SO I THINK THIS WAS THE ORIGINAL HOME STEAD OF WISER WHEN HE CAME BACK TO CARTER COUNTY AROUND 1866, AND WHERE THEIR OTHER EIGHT CHILDREN WERE BORN AND RAISED.
MY MOTHER, BELVA ADKINS LEADINGHAM TOLD ME SEVERAL TIMES THAT AFTER HER MOTHERS DEATH IN 1909 THAT WISER AND MARGARET JANE WILLIAMS ADKINS RAISED HER, AS BELVA WAS ONLY 13 MONTHS OLD WHEN HER MOTHER ANNA STEWART ADKINS DIED OF DIPHTHERIA. SHE ALSO TOLD ME THAT HER GRAND MOTHER, MARGARET JANE WILLIAMS ADKINS TOLD HER THAT SHE WOULD LIVE TO SEE HER MARRIED, AND THE THURSDAY AFTER BELVA "BELL" ADKINS MARRIED MARGARET JANE WILLIAMS ADKINS DIED. BELVA WAS 17 YEARS OLD WHEN SHE MARRIED IN 1925. AS OF MARCH 15, 2001, BELVA ADKINS LEADINGHAM, AGE 93, IS STILL LIVING AND STAYING WITH HER DAUGHTERS IN NORTH CAROLINA, AND OHIO.
ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET ON WHO SERVED, DIED AND DESERTED DURING THE CIVIL WAR, AN ADKINS, W. IS LISTED IN THE 38TH ARKANSAS INF, CSA REGIMENTAL HEADQUARTERS, COMPANY E. THAT WAS ORGANIZED ON 8 JULY 1862, IN POCAHONTAS, RANDOLPH COUNTY, ARKANSAS.
