J N Adkins of Lampasas to Callie Wolf nee Smith;some property in state of Kentucky.

Jasper was mrd before Josie to Susan 1853 so he had kids with her which would include Wickcliffe, Phebe, Mary being born last abt time Susan died. Although some have her listed as 2nd wife's dau, but if she was Josephine's dau she was born 3 yrs before Josie and Jasper married, so question, also she was born Ark and Josie never lived there w/Jasper.
1910 says Josie only had 2 kids w/Jasper, 2 living [Joseph, Ettie, Mabel is dec'd]

Joseph being her lst child w/Jasper seems reasonable then however he was born a yr before Josie mrd Jasper too. Maybe question this.
