About Ruthy Adkins
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/86079694/ruthy-adkins
After her husband died, Ruthy applied for a widow's pension based on his Revolutionary War service. She applied 18th day of May 1853 and died 11 August 1853. After she died the children applied for his pension, but as far as we know they never got it. Excerpt from her application for a widow's pension: "On May 18, 1853 in Whitley County Kentucky, Mrs. Ruthey Adkins, 94, made application for a widow's pension under the 1844 act stating that she is the widow of Thomas Adkins; that she married him January one, 1782 in Laurens District South Carolina; that they were married by John Montgomery; that her name prior to her marriage was Ruthey Linch [sic, Ruthey Lynch?]; that her husband died August 5, 1845; and that she remains his widow."
]Ruthy was 94 years old when she died. Burgess Siler, a neighbor who lived about 1/2 mile from the Adkins family, took their measurements when they died and made their caskets.
Excerpt from her widow's pension application: "The following children survived their mother, Jeremiah Adkins, Thomas Adkins, Margaret, the wife of Daniel Petrey; Sarah Petrey, a widow, and Luke Atkins, aged in 1854, 69, 68, 56, 54 and 46 years respectively."
