Generation: 1
| 1. | Mary Adkins was born 12 Oct 1735, Richland, Goochland Co. VA; died Aft 1820, Beech Fork, Cabell Co. VA (now WV). Notes:
According to family stories and oral history is that Mary lived common law with a descendant of the Earl of Oxford. According to the tradition, he deserted Mary and her children during the Revolutionary War and returned to England. Because the family name of the person that held the title 'Earl of Oxford' during the mid 1700s was Harley it was assumed by many researchers that this man's name was Jacob Harley.
If this is the case, her descendants through Lineberry have both Native American and European "royal" blood.
Mary married Jacob Harley. Jacob was born ca 1736, England. [Group Sheet]
