We don't know exactly when Morris Adkins married Martha "Patsy" Lawrence but it was between the death of his first wife, Rebecca, in 1835 and October 1, 1846 when he sold 131 acres in Wayne Co., Kentucky to Carter Tarrance Dalton of Fentress Co., Tennessee. Both Morris and Patsy Adkins affixed their marks on the transaction. Her maiden name, Lawrence (sometimes pronounced as Larnce) comes from the Death Certificates of her children, Alvin and Nancy. Since Patsy was the common nickname for Martha it is assumed her given name actually was Martha. This matches the given name on her tombstone.
