Adkins families
Looking for our past!
Children (3):
Notes for Thomas ADKINS Thomas's father, Thomas b.1726, left in his Will a sum to this Thomas's son John.
However, we have found no evidence of this son. Thomas ADKINS's life and
Will. [95]
The first picture is of Thomas ADKINS's signature and clearly shows that he was
literate and fluent in his writing. It was appended to his Indenture to Edward
Connard and dated 12th November 1778, when Thomas was 16 years old.
The picture 'Mr T Adkins' is of a document address, below it is the letter, posted
to Thomas ADKINS by Thomas FISHER. It seems incredible today that one could address
a letter to an individual in just 'Birmingham'! [Webmaster]
Thomas FISHER's letter reads:
Dear Coz - Weston Sept 19 1801 My dear
Bro Mr Caleb Adkins is dead your Brother desires his love to you & hopes you
will come to his House tomorrow to attend your Unkle Calebs Funeral next
Monday afternoon. Death Reighns may wee his relations fly to Jesus who can
save from Eternal Death I am your Greeving Unkle Thos Fisher |
