Martha Alice Atkins/Adkins Ford - Birth Date Discrepancy
According to her death certificate (which apparently relied on her husband's recollection), Martha was born 28 Aug 1892. Her brother, Oliver Balaam, was born 9 Feb 1892 and her mother, Mary Jane Richmond Atkins (if indeed this was her mother) died 16 Feb 1892, as recorded in the family Bible of Martha's brother, Oliver. The truth of her birth may include any of the following:
1.) Her birth date was incorrectly remembered at some point in her life, and her husband had incorrect information...meaning that she was probably born in February, not August, and not on the 28th. So far, no Delayed Birth Certificate for her has surfaced, but very possibly it would also show an incorrect date. Although such misremembering was and is common, such incorrect date by itself cannot explain her absence in the census when her brother, Oliver, age 8, did show in the census.
2.) She had a different mother or perhaps was raised by relatives who had other girls in the family. In 1900, William C.M. Atkins shows no spouse in the census and Martha is not shown. Her death certificate lists her father as Bud Adkins and does not list her mother. William C.M. (Millard) Atkins, given as her father in some later accounts did go by Bud at times.
3.) She was not daughter to either of these parents.
