The Birth and Marriage Dates are a rough estimate. See the text for details.
Biography
Keziah (or Kiziah) was born about 1753.
While Keziah, wife of George Fry, was not included among the children of Parker and Mary in Ronnie Adkins' genealogy of the Adkins family (he called her Keziah Mallory),[1] research conducted after the book's publication indicates that she was the daughter of Mary and Parker Adkins.[2]
The birth and marriage dates are estimated based on the births of their children.
Keziah passed away on October 10th, 1824 and is buried on Beech Fork near the mouth of Bowen's Creek across from the Sigmond Adkins homeplace. A photo of her tombstone is included in Ronnie Adkins book, "The Adkins Family of Wayne County, West Virginia, Also Cabell, Lincoln and Boone" which includes her date of death. [1]
Research Note
Some researchers carry Keziah with the middle name of Mallory.
A modern female line descendant of Keziah had her mtDNA tested with Family Tree DNA. The mtDNA test showed a haplogroup of H3b1b1. This test was done to compare the results with a descendant of her sister, Charity, to attempt to determine the mother of both sisters. DNA research is ongoing.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Keziah by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Keziah:
