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.

Elizabeth married Jackson Adkins 29 Jul 1839, Pittsylvania County, Virginia. Jackson (son of Owen Sanford Adkins and Isabelle Harris) was born 1815, Pittsylvania County, Virginia; died 14 Mar 1864, Pittsylvania County, Virginia; was buried , Henry Adkins Cemetery Pittsylvania County, Virginia.
