Richard was the son of Andrew Watkins and wife Elizabeth Combs Turner. Elizabeth was born and died in Kentucky, probably before 1910, due to census records, and descendant knowledge. There is no known record of her remarriage or residence in another state. I have never seen any sources that state that she died later than 1910. There are unproven claims of later death on some sites without documentation to support the claims. Her descendant Eugene Watkins who grew up on property near her believed that both Elizabeth Combs Turner Watkins and her second husband Andrew Watkins were buried in unmarked graves in the Rich Watkins cemetery. Richard Watkins was married to Mahala Turner. He enjoyed discussing current events with family on his front porch. Richard also liked to attend court in Jackson. I was told that he made a profession of faith about twelve years before he died. A grandson told me that once when someone in the area died, Richard took groceries to the bereaved family. He was injured while working on a barn and subsequently died.
