John ADKINS is buried in Park Cemetery Four O.P.C., in Hancock Co IN. His
death is listed as 26 Feb. 1886; age 56. I wrote to Park Cem. and they do not
have a record for him...too early they said (?). His death is not recorded
in Hancock Co clerk's office. He likely died in another county. He was in
Civil War, Co. K 1 Heavy , US Army, according to his tombstone.
Does anyone know anything about the above John ADKINS...wife? parents?
residence? I sent to NARA for his pension record, assuming that he received
one. In the meantime, am hoping someone may have a suggestion as to where I
may find where there may be more data related to him.
There was a John ADKINS and wife, Elizabeth, who conveyed to Thomas
Walpole, 80 acres of land in N. half of SE quarter of Sect. 21, 16 N. of
Range 6 E. This occurred 6 Apr 1854. I am wondering whether this is the same
John ADKINS who is buried in Park Cemetery. I am also interested in the
maiden name of Elizabeth ADKINS.
I would appreciate any and all suggestions
