Adkins families

Family notes for Moses Sanford HOPKINS and Nancy ADKINS

It is possible that there is some confusion in Daniels' notes because we have two couples with similar names and dates who are probably the same people. We have Sanford HOPKINS and Nancy ADKINS who, while we don't have actual dates of birth, were born around 1850, and we have Moses Sanford HOPKINS and Nancy ADKINS b.1852. The big difference is that Moses and Nancy have several children and Sanford and Nancy have just one, Caldonia, who is not duplicated in the other family. Moses and Nancy have children with unusual names not unlike Caldonia. I feel sure that we are looking at the same family. [Webmaster]
