They had moved to Taylor, ?Warren Co.,? MO by March 1831, possibly very recently because her mother asks for a quick reply to her letter and wants to know "whether you are pleased with the country." Three names are listed at the bottom of a letter written by Hery's mother in 1831. (The names are written in different ink and a different hand.) The names are: E lesethabeth (sic) Virginia Adkins, Herodias Adkins, and Henry Adkins. Since John W. Adkins is Hery's husband, my guess is that John was listing his wife and children's birthdates. Therefore, Henry Adkins was born the 13th of December (no year given).

In this same letter from Sarah Reynolds to John and Herodias, Sarah mentions that "Joseph Atkins his wife and the whole family have lately returned again to the neighborhood." I don't know if this Joseph is a brother, father, or other close relative to John, but he probably is related in some way or Sarah wouldn't have mentioned it.
[Joseph Adkins is John Ward Adkins' eldest brother-Mary Frances Eggleston]

John Ward Adkins and Herodias Reynolds were married on November 10, 1828 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. Even though it has been stated that Henry Gilmore was born in Virginia in 1833, that has been proven false because Sarah Reynolds wrote a letter to Herodias telling her of her fathers death in March 1831 and sent to Taylor PO in Warren Co., Mo. John?s first known land purchase in Warren Co. is in Sept. 1832. All children appear to have been born in Warren Co., Missouri.
JOHN ADKINS MILITARY SERVICE: ML LAND WARRANT NO. 32428 FOR LAND IN WARREN CO., MO.
In my records from 30 years ago (now 2012) I have a note that on July 15, 1849 John Ward Adkiins received land in Warren County Missouri under "M.L. Warrant No. 32528", this land was received in Warren County and he was the only John Adkins there to my knowledge. In the 1950's a Reverend Herbert Zeiler came to be the pastor of the little Brethern Church in Fairview Township of Henry Co., Mo. He was immensely interested in genealogy and he had all the members working on their genealogy. I still have some of the papers from the time he was here and gained a good deal of information from them. I was only about ten years old when the Rev. served the church, but I still remember him. On the John Ward Adkins and Herodias Philpot paper written by either Rev. Zeiler or one of the family, it is written that John fought in the MEXICAN WAR OF 1846 & 1847.
The following is also written on this paper:
"John Ward Adkins of Virginia and his wife Herodius (Philpot) Adkins migrated to Missouri in the early 1830's and settled at Warrenton in Warren County. John fought in the Mexican War of 1846 & 1847. Later in the 1850's the family moved to Henry County, Missouri when Sarah Ann was 8 months old and settled on the farm that was located one mile east and one mile south of LaDue (Henry Co.) Mo. where they built a frame house. The Philpot family was prominent in Virginia History throughout the Colonial days and down through the Revolutionary War, to the forming of the United States government. John and Herodius had five children all born in Warren Co., Mo. On October 10, 1870 (John would have been about 62) there was a dispute that had been going on for months over some hogs and road right-of-way between John W. Adkins and a Mills and a Bysor. They had their guns and fired and Mills was killed instantly. The situation got hot but no one was arrested. The authorities couldn't find out if Bysor or Adkins shot Mills but Adkins left the country and sent from Arkansas a deed to the widow Mrs. Mills for 40 acres of land in Henry County.

John married Herodias Philpott Reynolds 10 Nov 1828, Henry County, Virginia. Herodias (daughter of John Devin Reynolds and Sarah Ann "Sally" dna Philpott) was born 6 Nov 1808, Pittsylvania County, Virginia ; died 17 Oct 1877, Henry County, Missouri; was buried , Adkins Cemetery, Henry County, Missouri.

THE JEFFERSON FAMILY OF PITTSYLVANIA
COUNTY.

Communicated by Mrs. N. E. Clement, Chatham, Va.

In number 3 of Vol, XXII., in an account of the Allen family,
mention is made of he marriage of Elizabeth Allen to Field Jefferson,
mother of Col. Peter Jefferson, of Albemarle. Field Jefferson's
will, dated 1762, is filed at Mecklenburg Courthouse, and in it he
names four sons, viz.: Thomas, Peter Field, George and John.

George Jefferson patented large bodies of land in Pittsylvania
County, a part of which he later sold to his brother Peter Feld.

In the first lists of tithables taken in Pittsylvania County we
find,
"List of Tithables taken by George Jefferson in Pittsylvania
County, Camden Parish, Year 1767."

In list occurs following items:

"George Jefferson (Mecklenburg)
John Davis, Overseer, and negroes (to wit), Land
Tithes Acres.
Sam, Chance, Pompey, Phillis, Pal and Sary 7 8000

In May, 1774, George Jefferson, of Lunenburg, sells to Peter

Cock Creek, Pittsylvania Co.

For L60, 321 acres on Sailor's Creek, Pittsylvania Co.
For L500, 1005 acres on Turkey Cock Creek, Pittsylvania.

Again in 1776, he sells him 140 acres in Pittsylvania. Peter
Field Jefferson must have soon after this removed to Pittsylvania
County to live, for in 1779 we find him selling 380 acres for L350
to Elisha Walker, and in the deed giving his place of residence as
Pittsylvania County. There is no will of Peter Field Jefferson
recorded in Pittsylvania, but there is one of his wife, Mrs.
Elizabeth Jefferson, dated 1828. In it she mentions

Page 182.

following children: Sons Field Jefferson, John Jefferson, Samuel A.
Jefferson, Alexander Jefferson, Archer Jefferson, dec'd, and Thomas
Jefferson, dec'd; daughters Patsy Brewer and Judith Jefferson. From
the marriage Register we find that on Feb. 27, 1806, Thomas Jefferson
married Elizabeth Ball. Feb. 20, 1808, Alexander Jefferson married
Elizabeth Smith. Alexander Jefferson's will is dated 1837 and
probated 1838.

A grandson of Alexander Jefferson, Col. David Alexander Jefferson, of Chatham, Virginia is a prominent member of his family to-day.

William George Reynolds
1834 - 1862
Co. E, 57th Va. Infantry

Born in Pittsylvania County on 27 March 1834, William was one of three known children of John Philpott and Rhoda (Smith) Reynolds. William?s siblings were: Susan, and Heary Ann who was born in 1839 and married Ralph G. Adkins in 1861. William and his family farmed in Pittsylvania County as did many of their neighbors. On 9 June 1858, William would marry Elizabeth Adkins. She was born on 2 January 1839 in Pittsylvania County, the daughter of Anderson and Nancy Booker (Adkins) Reynolds. Together they would have two children; William Goggins, born on 21 May 1859; and Elizabeth Cornelius, born 6 October 1861. William and his brother-in-law, Ralph Adkins, enlisted on 1 July 1861 in Company E, 57th Virginia Infantry. Company E was known as the ?Pigg River Greys? and was organized by William H. Ramsey. The regiment would move to it?s camp north of Richmond near the Fairfield Race Course in the fall of 1861. In November they moved to Howard?s Grove and entered winter camp. The unsanitary conditions of camp life brought about sickness and soldiers became unfit for duty and required hospitalization. Many died of typhoid fever, measles, diarrhea or other diseases. Even though many recovered, they were unable to return to duty. William was one of these men who was unable to return to duty. William died of rubella in the Confederate States Hospital in Petersburg, on 16 May 1862. His father drove a buckboard to Richmond and brought his body back to Pittsylvania County for burial. It is not known if William was able to see his infant daughter before his death. His brother-in-law, Ralph was wounded at the Battle of Malvern Hill, but returned to duty when he was captured and taken prisoner at Gettysburg. He would be held in Point Lookout until his exchange on 18 February 1865. Elizabeth was only 23 years old when William died and she never remarried. She died on 19 February 1919 and is buried beside her husband.
