Biography

Early Life

Parker was born in Virginia about 1723/4 to William Adkins and Elizabeth Parker.[1] His birth year is estimated based on him attaining at least the age of majority by the time he first appears in court records.

Family

The book "Adkins Family Reunion 1955,"[2] mentions that Parker was the progenitor of the Adkins family in America. While the information was obtained from Hiram Adkins, who was 84 years old at the time and the great grandson of Parker through his son Millington, this was carried by many family members for a long time. In fact it was so ingrained into the family tradition that in the book "The Adkins Family of Wayne County, West Virginia, Also Cabell, Lincoln and Boone"[1] the author, Ronnie Adkins, goes to great lengths to lay out the proof of Parker's parentage with the following:

"There is a 1740 Goochland County record that has William with three sons; Richard, William & Parker. This record not only shows the relationship, it also sets the births of the three sons to a seven-year period between 1717 & 1724. Siblings were not listed on records of the day until they had obtained to the age of at least sixteen. Assuming the youngest of the three to be at least that age, one could then place his year of birth in 1724 and the fact that William & Elizabeth were married in 1716 would probably place the older in 1717. Since the sons are almost surely listed in order of age, it would probably be safe to say that Richard was born ca 1716/17, Parker born 1723/4 with William Jr., in between.
This 1740 record is conclusive proof that William is Parker' father, however there is much more evidence. I have researched thousands upon thousands of records of the state of Virginia and there is no other Parker Adkins in any record between the years of 1730 & 1770. Further proof is the fact that every record that has William Sr. also has Parker or there is another record of the same time that has Parker in the same place. The name Parker is also proof that he is a son of William & Elizabeth. Many families, then & now, have or had a tradition of naming one or more children after the mother's maiden name & it is highly probable that our Parker is named after his mother, Elizabeth Parker."

Homesteads and Land

The book "The Adkins Family of Wayne County, West Virginia, Also Cabell, Lincoln and Boone"[1] mentions that "In the year 1772 Parker and Mary began preparing for a move that would take them to the very edge of the frontier; in that year on 19 May they sold 50 acres of their land to Parker's father (Pittsylvania deed bk 2 pgs 443-444). They had previous to this sold land to Parker's brother Henry as proven by a deed dated 15 Mar. 1773 when Henry sold the land. This deed reads in part "... it being the land the said Henry now lives on which he bought from his brother Parker...". "...and boundaries will more fully appear by the deed he has from his father William Atkinson Sr." (Pittsylvania deed bk 3 pg 343-344). This move, made along with Parker's brother Sherwood, was to the Sinking Creek of the New River of Fincastle County and was completed in about a year for on 11 Sept. 1773 they are on record as living in Fincastle County. A deed in Pittsylvania dated that date states "Parker Atkinson and Mary his wife of Fincastle County to George Herndon of Pittsylvania Co " (Pittsylvania deed bk 3 pgs 469 & 470). This move ensured that Parker would spend his entire lifetime on the edge of the American Frontier. One could say he spent 80 years where the action was."

Death & Legacy

Parker died after he appeared in the 19 Jun 1795 Montgomery County, Virginia Tax record although no specific date has been found.

No probate record has been found.

Children

Ronnie Adkins, in his genealogy of the Adkins family, admits (p 6) that no record exists that names all the children of Parker, "however, death records, oral tradition and other sources fairly well prove the following:" [reordered]

  • Millinton, b abt 1755 Halifax
  • Isom, b abt 1757 Halifax
  • Hezekiah, b 20 Sept 1759 Halifax Co., Virginia
  • Champ, b 1763 Halifax; moved to Granger Co., Tennessee in 1788
  • Littleberry, b 10 May 1767 Pittsylvania, Virginia; m 1790 his first cousin Nancy Adkins
  • Charity, b 1768
  • Sherrod B., b abt 1775/1 [sic] Fincastle Co., Virginia; m 11 Feb 1798 his first cousin, Christina Adkins, in Montgomery Co., Virginia. His 1859 death record names his parents as Parker and Polly.[24]
  • Keziah did not appear in Ronnie's initial list, but in post-publication correspondence, Ronnie added her based in her presence with Adkins relations after she became a widow and her burial in a predominantly Adkins cemetery.[25]

Hiram Adkins, a great-grandson of Parker, reported (p 23) that Parker had five sons: Berry [Littleberry?], Hezekiah, Millington, Ison and Champ. He did not mention daughters.[2]

Research Notes

Uncertain Facts

The following facts, previously mentioned on this profile: [citation needed]

  • 1746. Tithables of Goochland Co, VA. ADKINS, Parker, Wm. Jr., Richard, Henry, William, John.[26]
  • 1747. Tithables of Goochland Co, VA. ADKINS, Parker, Wm., Richard, Henry, Major, Samuel.[26]
  • 1748. Tithables of Goochland Co, VA. ADKINS, Wm., Henry, Samuel.[26]
  • 1753. Tax list of Halifax Co, VA. Parker ADKINS, Wm. ADKINS.
  • 1792. Jan. 3 Montgomery County, Virginia Marriages Parker ADKINS and Nancy LEFOND (LEFORD). [27] [28] Most likely this was a transcription of a Marriage Bond for a relative of the same name, Parker Adkins whose first wife was Mary Lafon?
  • 1793. Montgomery Co, VA Marriages. Sherod ATKINS, son of Parker and Polly ATKINS [b. ca. 1766] m. Sarah LUCAS, dau of Charles LUCAS 8 Oct. 1793. (He d. 11 Jan. 1859.) This Parker's son Sherrod is not the one that married Sarah Lucas. That record belongs to the son of Parker's unwed sister Mary, this Sherrod.
  • 1797. Apr 3, Montgomery Co, VA Marriage Bonds Reel 39, Michael HARLESS and Jainy ADKINS, surety Parker ADKINS. [27] Original copy of this marriage bond has been posted to Geni.com. It appears that the Parker mentioned on this bond could possibly be this Parker Adkins, although he has no such child shown by that name on his profile, his biography lists a first wife named Jane and that they had ten children together. More research to clarify this is needed.
  • 1801. 30 Sept. John MANN appoints Andrew HATFIELD as agent to sell land on Sinking Creek adj Parker ADKINS, David PRICE and Robert HUNTER. Wit: Henry WILLIAMS, Henry LYBROOK, Henry FRY, William KILPOLE. Recd. Feb. 1806. [29]

Disputed Wives

Author Ronnie Adkins states that "Parker m [married] Mary (Polly) ca 1754 Halifax Co. Va. There are no records of Mary and her first name is known only from death records of some of her children in Wayne Co. W.Va. and from a 1773 Pittsylvania deed. Several family researchers are carrying her as a Fry and daughter of George Fry Sr. Mary the d/o George Sr. married Parker's oldest son Parker Millington; this may have been the cause of some researchers making this mistake. If, indeed Mary was a Fry and there is no evidence of this, she would have been a sister to George and not his daughter."[1] [Emphasis added]

The highly unreliable and largely fictional Shawnee Heritage, Volume 5, claims that Parker had four wives. They are listed as:

  • Mary Polly Fry, married in 1739, daughter of John Peter Fry and Catherine French. (See paragraph above. While author Ronnie Adkins states that a Mary Fry would have to be George's sister, he does state that there is no evidence of this).
  • Mary-Polly Littleberry Jones, married in 1754, parents unknown. The book claims she was of the Hopia tribe and taken in by Parker's family when she was ill and married Parker when she recovered. There is no oral family history on this story. It is unclear where it originated.
  • Mary Blue Sky Cornstalk, married in 1766, daughter of Strongman Cornstalk, another name for Chief Cornstalk, while still married to his second wife. In 1769 he resumed his marriage with his second wife. Note: While the oral family history includes Bluesky, it does not give her the name of Mary. The facts contained in the book are not accurate to the oral tradition.
  • Mary Alexander, married 1777, parents unknown. For this one the book mentions at the age of 20 she was a spinster and unlikely to find a younger husband and "therefore fair game to the much older thrice widowed Parker Adkins."

The sources in the back of the "Shawnee Heritage" series contains short abbreviations that are known only to the author. In the introduction of Volume V, Don Greene states "The sources are still in my stubborn way of only listing the names but not going with any detailed bibliography." By the time Volume XIV of the "Shawnee Heritage" series came out in 2018 only two wives are shown as a parent with Parker Adkins and they are Mary Blue Sky Cornstalk and Mary Polly Jones.

An entry in Deed Book 3, page 469 provides a name for a wife of Parker Adkins when it mentions "Parker Atkinson and Mary his wife of County of Fincastle..." [emphasis added] This deed was dated September 11th, 1773 and recorded on March 24th, 1774. Parker signed the document as "PA". In the death record for Parker and Mary's son, Sherrod, it shows his parents as "Parker and Polly Adkins" [emphasis added][30] While Polly is a common nickname for Mary, neither document provides a maiden name.

Did Parker serve at the Battle of Point Pleasant?

The simple answer is no. Parker is recorded in the database of the National Society, Sons of the American Revolution (NSSAR), #S-340348,[31] and in the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) database, #A201928,[32] both listing "Poffenbarger, Battle of Point Pleasant, P21" as the source. This is a reference to a paper by Mrs. Livia Nye Simpson-Poffenbarger, "The Battle of Point Pleasant, First Battle of the American Revolution, October 10, 1774," [33] which provides a list of the soldiers that participated in the battle. (This should not be confused with her latter work of a similar name from 1909.) [34]

The claim that Parker served in the battle arose from the interpretation of documents on the part of Mrs. Poffenbarger.[33] On May 30th, 1774, a letter from Thomas Burk to Col. William Preston mentions, "Sir- I have perceedd. According to your Directions as Near as poseble & has oppointd. Eleven out of Thirty four all Able Boydd. Men. Pleas to Excuse My Short Writting for I Expect to be over With These from your Humb. Sert. Thomas Burk May ye 30th 1774." There are 11 men numbered at the top of the list which includes 39 names in total. (Five names were added to the bottom in a different hand writing.) The list of 11 men at the top includes Parker's son, Millington (shown as Willinton). Parker was listed with the remaining men. [21] Mrs. Poffenbarger lists all 39 men as serving in the Battle of Point Pleasant. [33] The problem with this list is that it was months before the October 10th battle, it never describes where Burk is going to take the men and Colonel Preston is known to have not been at the battle because he remained in Fincastle to defend the frontier. [35] At best we can only say that the men with Burk were simply defending the frontier.

It's important to note that the NSSAR no longer accepts the list of participants cited by Mrs. Poffenbarger. The Genealogist General, John D. Sinks (term 2014-2018), documented the reasons why the list would no longer be used in his paper titled "Proving Service at the Battle of Point Pleasant for Sons of the American Revolution," dated 28 July 2015. [35] The DAR however, has not dismissed the work. Mrs. Poffenbarger was a DAR member, founded the Colonel Charles Lewis Chapter of the DAR at Point Pleasant, West Virginia, and served as it's first Chapter Regent. [36]
