They had 4 sons and 2 daughters whose baptisms are recorded in the Sandy PR:
Henry Atkyns buried his wife Frances at Sandy on Christmas Day 1610.[3]
Did Henry remarry after the death of Frances in 1610? An Elizabeth Adkins, wife of Henry, was buried at Sandy on 4 Nov 1629.[4]
A Henry Adkins was buried at Sandy on 18 Dec 1630. As his son (Henry son of Henry) was buried in Sandy on 14 Jan 1624/5 this one must be the father.[5]
