Descendants of Andrew Jackson Adkins/Atkins & Mary Frances Horton collaborate here to gather family information, history, documents, photos and other media such as recordings and videos. Family members may participate at whatever level they feel comfortable with, and one on one assistance is available to learn new ways to use this web site's features. To find Will documents naming slaves, search media for "slave" (or click here). This should list wills naming slaves. (Update February 2026, I found 10 such wills and tagged them for easier search/find. Additional slave references were found in notes and non-media wills)»»» Click here for additional references to slaves «««
