He was the son of William and Louisa (Butler) Adkisson and the grandson of James and Catharine (McCabe) Adkisson and Elias and Elizabeth (Winters) Butler. He and my great-grandmother, Artelia Davis, were married on September 28, 1890, in Coalfield (at her parents' home in the Fairview Road area) and had the following children: 1) Eunice M. Adkisson (1891-1904); 2) Bertie Mae (Adkisson) Poarch (1893-1978); 3) Nina Geneva Adkisson (1895-1918); 4) Victor Jennings Adkisson (1900-1977); 5) Glenna Mae (Adkisson) Haynes/King (1903-1996); 6) Aubrey Ralph "Ralph A."

My great-grandparents also lost a stillborn daughter, Viola, and triplets who were born between 1896-1900. All children are buried in the Davis Cemetery in Coalfield except for Bertie and Ralph.
