The Josiah Adkins Family of Connecticut Book by Donald Lines Jacobus, M.A., F.A.S.G. states:
"an early but not original settler in Hartford, Connecticut, married first Elizabeth Andrews, sister of Edward Andrews of Hartford. ....... Edwards' will signed July 23, 1673, after providing for his wife and children (unnamed), gave to my brother (in-law) Josiah Adkins ten acres of the land I bought of Wm. Howlton the North side of it, which shall be to his children which were the children of my sister" (Manwaring's Digest, 1:173) "The reason for limiting the passing of the land to the children of Josiah Adkins by Andrew was doubtless because Adkins was on the point of marrying again and might have other children not related to Edward Andrews. Josiah Adkins, in fact moved to Middletown, Connecticut, and married there a second time, a little over two months after Andrews made his will."

Name: Josiah Adkins
Location: Middletown Invt. oe 67-10-00 Taken January 1, 1690-1 by Nathaniel Stowe, John Hall, Sen., Samuel Hall. Legatees: (these were only the seven children by his second marriage, then aged 3 to 16). Solomon 12, Josiah 10, Benjamin 8 and Ephraim 6, and his three daughters, Sarah 16, Abigail 14 and Elizabeth 3.
Will dated September 1, 1690 . I Josiah Adkins of Middletown do leave this as my last Will and Testament; I give to my wife Elizabeth Adkins my House, Houselott and Stock, for her life time, and to be at her dispose at her death, only willing her not to dispose of it but to my children then surviving. I give to my 4 sons, Solomon, Josiah, Benjamin and Ephraim, my Boggy Meadow and Swamp, equally to be divided between them. My Will is that after my wife's decease all Moveables in the House shall be equally divided amongst my 3 daughters, Sarah, Abigail and Elizabeth. I give to my other 3 children, to whom I have formerly given according to my ability, that is to Thomas, Samuel and Elizabeth Gilman, 10 shillings apiece. I request my Brother Nathaniel Stowe and Mr. Thomas Warde to be Overseers. Witness: Daniel Hurlbut, John Hall, Sen. Josiah X Adkins Ls. (These obviously the older children, sons and daughters of his Andrews wife; and since she was sister of a man born about 1628, her birth may be placed about 1630. Of these children, the births of Thomas and Elizabeth (Gilman) have to be placed as early as 1650-1652, since the eldest child of each was born 1672. These dates all fit together well, and we must conclude that Josiah was around 45 when he married the second time and around 60 when his youngest child was born. )
