I am researching the surname Wadkins/Watkins-
1860 Census-
Thomas Watkins 33, wife, Nancy 19 married within census year.H74
Polly Caudell 38, living with David Salyer 42, and wife Susa H52.
I believe that Susa maiden name is Miles. Not sure the connection with Polly
1870 Breathitt County
Thomas Watkins 51,
Nancy 31 keeping house
Elainne 7,
William 3
Benjamin 1
1880 Magoffin
Nancy Wadkins widow 38
Elsey Ann 17,
William 12
Benjamin 10
Samuel 6
Mary 4(believe my gr. grandmother)
Polly Caudell 74 widow, living with daughter Nancy
Mary Wadkins was b. 1876 in Magoffin County died 1960 buried Patty Flat Cem.Married Henry Estep Dec. 23, 1896.mention mother name Nancy father ?? Wadkins.Married in Tilday Wheelers home in Magoffin County.A.C.H. Samuel Hamilton
1900 Morgan County
Henry Esteap 24
Mary wife 20
Mary then remained in Johnson County until her death.
I can't find any mention of Mary's siblings in the census, or any record of her mother Polly Caudell.Assuming that Nancy was a Caudell I have been unable to find any marriage record.Also after searching many Magoffin Cemeteries I have been unable to locate Nancy or Thomas.
Basically I don't know where else to look any help or advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
