JEREMIAH ADKINS, Jerry, as he was known to his family and friends, was the son of Thomas Adkins and Ruthy Lynch. He was born in 1785 in South Carolina.

His family moved to Tennessee before moving on to Whitley County Kentucky between 1803 and 1808. He was a Farmer and Blacksmith all his life. He inherited 53 acres of land on Cane Creek in Whitley County, Kentucky, when his father died.

He was married at least twice, his first wife still remains a mystery to us. We know she had at least seven children. We do not know if they divorced or she died, but I would say she died between 1836 when her last child was born and 1840 when Jerry married Valentine Ballen Duncan. Jerry and Vally raised a large family. They had at least eight children. Jerry was 28 years older than Vally according to the 1850 census . He owned 300 acres of land on the Cumberland River in Whitley County, Kentucky, known as the Rhodes place, when he died 25 August 1854 in Whitley County. He is buried in the Keswick Cemetery in Whitley County.
