DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Berry by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
Y-chromosome DNA test-takers in his direct paternal line on WikiTree:
Adkins-2718 and Adkins-343 appear to represent the same person because: Adkins-2718 was created by an unverified submitter and adopted by Rick Lear in 2021. Since this Littleberry as listed as the son of LB & Anna Adkins and spouse of Delphy, it is better to merge the listings.
I just found a note on Sherrad's Will, just below it is a mention from Isom (who administers Sherrad's will) that lists a settlements of the accounts of Little Berry.
Adkins-3314 and Adkins-343 appear to represent the same person because: Adkins 3314 and Adkins 343 appear to be the same person. I am fairly confident that they are.
Adkins-2252 and Adkins-343 appear to represent the same person because: These two profiles have very similar estimated birthdates and the same spouse name. Are they the same man? Let's merge!
