Biography
Millie was born about 1779, the daughter of Owen and Agnes (Goad) Adkins. According to family tradition and other records, Millie and her brother, Owen, Jr., hid in a hollow log while their parents and two siblings were massacred in the area of Bays Mountain near Kingsport in Hawkins County, once part of Sullivan County, according to Martha MacDonald, daughter of Millie Adkins Smith in an interview in 1920 at the age of 102. She inherited the family bible of her parents and the incident was described in the bible, which has since disappeared. There are also reports one of the two siblings, Jesse Adkins, was scalped but survived. The orphans were separated and supposedly lived with uncles Peter and Lewis in Hopkins and Christian Counties, Kentucky.
