Biography
The Birth and Death Dates are a rough estimate. See the text for details.
Sherrod Adkins was born about 1766 to Parker and Polly [Mary] Adkins.[1]
From Ronnie Adkins' book:[2]
Christena m(2) 11 Feb. 1798 in Montgomery Co. Sherrod B. Adkins s/o Parker and Mary (# 127), her 1st cousin.
Between 1810-1815 Christena and Sherrod joined their brothers and sisters in the Beech Fork area of Cabell (Wayne) Co. Va. (W.Va.) and made their home near Christen's brother Sherrod. Christena d 1822 and is buried at the old family cemetery near the mouth of Bowen's Creek.
Sherrod B. has often been confused with Christena's brother, Sherrod Adkins (136); they were near the same age, 1st cousins, lived in close [proximity] and died within five years of each other making it extremely easy for older family members and researchers to mistake them. Some facts that may help others to discern between the two follow:
- Sherrod B. was living in the household of his son, Archibald in the first (1850) census of Wayne Co. W.Va.
- His death certificate in Wayne Co. 1859 states that he was son of Parker and Mary
- His will proven same year leaves one dollar to each of Archibald's children (Archibald had d 1856).
Sherrod s/o Mary had d also in 1856 so that Sherrod B's death in 1859 with certificate stating he was son of Parker and Mary, will leaving one dollar to each of Archibald's children and his being buried beside of Christena clearly proves the distinction between tile two.
As stated above Sherrod B. d 1859 and is buried beside Christena at the oldest family cemetery in the area near the mouth of Bowen's Creek. Their graves have nice markers that are still easy to distinguish dates, names, etc.

Research Notes
The 1850 US Census shows both Sherrod's that are generally confused with each on the same page. This Sherrod is shown in the home of his son Archibald but shows him as 74 years old which suggests a birth about 1776.[3] Both Sherrod's also appear on the same page of the Death Index with this one appearing on the left side of the page with a 1859 death at the age of 93, suggesting a birth about 1766 which is the date used here.
