Parker Adkins Birth 1720 Henrico County, Virginia, USA Death 15 Mar 1794 (aged 73?74) Montgomery County, Virginia, USA Burial Burial Details Unknown, Specifically: Burial Lost to History. His name appears on the Monument to Revolutionary War soldiers of Giles County, along with his son Hezekiah and Millington Parker Vortimer Atkinson and Polly Fry Atkinson lived on the South side of the Pigg River (Story Creek Area) in the Snow Creek District of what is today Franklin County, Virginia. His wife was Mary Fry (c1730-c1777). Mary was the mother of all his children. She was a daughter of John Peter Fry and Catherine (French) Fry, and a sister of George Fry (d.1793). One branch of Parker?s descendants has embraced the story that, in addition to the children he had with his wife, Mary, he had two children by a daughter of Chief Cornstalk named Blue Sky and, when Blue Sky died, Parker took his two half-Shawnee children, Littleberry and Charity, home to his wife, Mary, who raised them along with their other children. No proof existed, one way or another, until 2016 when a direct female descendant of Charity Adkins was located and agreed to have her mitochondrial DNA analyzed. Mitochondrial DNA traces a female?s maternal ancestry, mother-to-mother-to-mother, back through time. The DNA came back as Haplogroup H, the most common female haplogroup in Europe. Therefore, Charity?s mother was a white woman with mostly English and Irish ancestry. Many other women match her descendant?s DNA kit, all of them with the same basic ancestry. An article published in 2017 goes in to great details on the movements of Chief Cornstalk and Parker Adkins during the period of time that Littleberry and Charity were born. From that analysis, it is clear that Chief Cornstalk and his daughter Blue Sky could never have met Parker Adkins. Children: Keziah Adkins Fry, Millington Adkins, Isom Adkins, Hezekiah Adkins, Susanna Adkins McGriff, Littleberry Adkins, Champ Adkins, Elijah Adkins, Sherrod B Adkins, Charity Adkins Adkins, William Adkins, and Shadrach Adkins.
