Today, 4/14/2014, I spoke with Tony Adkins, a direct descendant of Owen Adkins and Louisa Kendrick. He told me stories about Owen and that he raced horses on a tract around Callands and that he was said to have been a short wirey fellow and very quick on his feet, often winning races with friends from Callands to Chatham. One particular horse was named Black Miranda and the shoe from this horse was last known to be in the possession of Desmond Kendrick, also a descendant of Louisa. Louisa Kendrick never married Owen Adkins, but had at least 8 of his children.

Yesterday I spent my time carving this familiar charcoal face whose eyes peer out from many of our own as the progenitor of a couple thousand Virginians and Americans. He is Pittsylvania County?s modern Adam with no particular Eve?my ancestor, your ancestor, probably his own ancestor?Owen Sanford Adkins (1785-1885). His biggest fans may notice that this drawing is actually a flipped version of his original ferrotype image, because those images are flipped along the vertical axis, so this is his true face as if he were staring back at you in person.
Once more businesses reopen I will be able to make quality prints of this piece and get them to any descendants who may like to purchase one.

A MODERN PATRIARCH.
The Living Progenitor of 550 Persons.
LIFE IN THE VIRGINIA MOUNTAINS.
Horse Racing, Card Playing, Fox Hunting, and Running Contests. Bob Kinsey was incredulous when he read a recap in this space not long ago. ?I don?t know what to make of this latest one,? came the recording on the answering device at newspaper offices, ?but all I can say is, I don?t know when he found time to go hunting.? After reading the sensational above headline, many of us might share in that skepticism. So perhaps did the enterprising reporter from the Herald who arrived at the old man?s ?mansion,? described as being built in 1803 ?odd-shaped, queer and old-timey; and it, along with all the outhouses and fencing, seem to be in an advanced stage of dilapidation.?
Who has time for house repairs when there?s so many more entertaining enterprises from which to choose? The reporter had plenty of time to examine the southeast Franklin County real estate given his near-centenarian host was not home at sunrise of their previously arranged appointment. The writer waited all day. That evening, the host, age 96, arrived home ?head erect and not a tremor in his step,? rifle in one hand, the product of his hunt over his other shoulder ? a pair of wild gobblers. The scribe asked where old man Adkins had been. Complaining of springtime mud on the mountain, Adkins responded he could only manage 20 miles that day. On a dry path, his stalking was likely to be ?much farther.? Long as the fishing and hunting were good, Adkins indicated he?d be loathe to put in a good day?s work. Not that he wasn?t up to it. A man whose powers of endurance in footraces covering miles of broken countryside had won handsome wagers more often than he lost in literally hundreds of head-to-head meetings.
Adkins assured the much younger interviewer that he?d be pleased to race him right then long as the money was right. As for the foxes he hunted in that most gentlemanly of Old Dominion sports, Adkins said he would typically dismount when the chase was at its height and pursue ?Reynard? on foot. That was so as best to be poised to throw his hounds one by one over any fence that got in the way ?in order that they might hurry on and press the fox home.? The prudent reader may then wonder how one who was documented to have fathered 70 children by two wives and four ?concubines? could provide for such a multitude with little to no conventional labor. Who says that pokerplaying, silver dollar pitching, horse and footracing, fox and turkey hunting isn?t work? In any event, those pursuits are what paid the bills. Clearly, he was a master of frugality, not to mention his own good health. The old man said he wasted little treasure on strong drink and none on the top local agricultural product, tobacco. Sounds like a good approach for us all.
