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.

Here is the link on Ancestry: https://www.ancestry.com/interactive/9087/004715407_00198?pid=569774&backurl=https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv%3D1%26dbid%3D9087%26h%3D569774%26tid%3D%26pid%3D%26usePUB%3Dtrue%26_phsrc%3Dtba4302%26_phstart%3DsuccessSource&treeid=&personid=&hintid=&usePUB=true&_phsrc=tba4302&_phstart=successSource&usePUBJs=true#?imageId=004715407_00198 If that doesn't work for you please message me, I downloaded a copy.

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-2598 and Adkins-343 appear to represent the same person because: once merges of ancestors are done, duplication will be evident, same data

Nancy Ann was his mother, she is attached as his wife, also. Need to remove as wife

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!
