Biography

Richard Atkins came to Virginia on the ship Abigail in 1621, and his wife Joan arrived in the same year on the Tyger.[1] A 1653 deed in Surry County refers to Richard as being from Chard in Somersetshire. He settled first at Mulberry Island[2] on the north side of the James below Jamestown; in 1632 he was granted 100 acres there. In 1644 he traded that land for 200 acres across the river on Lawnes Creek, the boundary between Isle of Wight County and what was soon to be Surry County. This land was on the Isle of Wight side, but before long Richard was living in Surry, where he became a fairly large landowner. Very little is known about his family, but apparently he had a daughter Mary and sons Thomas and Richard. By the 1670s he had moved about 10 miles southwest to a location on the Blackwater River. In 1675 a fort was built on his property for protection against possible Indian attacks. In the next year, Nathanial Bacon led a rebellion against the governor, and Richard -- who must have been about 70 by this time -- rode with the rebels. The rebellion failed, and in 1677 John Solway sued Richard for "abusing his horse, breaking open his house, plundering, and drinking his wine during the Rebellion." This may be exaggerated; Richard was fined 400 pounds of tobacco, a relatively mild punishment.

About John Atkins

Seventeenth Century Qualifying Ancestor for the Jamestown Society

Atkins, John - A301; Warroscoyack: 1630 (Burgess).

Jamestown was the first permanent English settlement in what is now the United States, and was named for King James I of England. The Jamestown Settlement was established on the James River about 40 miles upstream from the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay on May 24, 1607. Established by the Virginia Company of London, along with making a profit, the goals of the company were to expand English lands abroad, seek a northwest passage to the Orient, and convert the Indians in Virginia to the Anglican religion. Jamestown served as the capital of the colony of Virginia for 83 years, from 1616 until 1699.

'The first 105 settlers set sail for Virginia on the Susan Constant, Godspeed, and Discovery. One died during the voyage which departed from England in December 1606. The expedition was led by Captain Christopher Newport. The Virginia Company brought Polish and Dutch colonists within the first year of settlement. The first documented Africans were brought to Jamestown in 1619.

Jamestown suffered many hardships, including warfare between the colonists and Indians, and the deaths of many English men and women from starvation and disease. Jamestown ceased to be a town by the mid 1700s, but the government, language, customs, beliefs, and aspirations of these early colonists are part of the heritage of the United States today.

Atkins History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms

The name Atkins is an old Anglo-Saxon name. It comes from when a family lived the personal name Adam. Atkins is a diminutive which means son of Adam.

There are four different coats of arms in Adkins family history, and the family motto is "vincit cum legibus arma", meaning "he wins over violence with laws". Originally spelled Adekyn, spelling variations include Addykin, Aiken, Atkinson, Atkyn, among many others.

The Atkins Motto

The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.

Motto: Vincit cum legibus arma

Motto Translation: He wins over violence with laws

Adkins Genealogy & History

Adkins literally means "son of little Adam", as Adams Jr. is used in 21st-century America. While the name originated in the 1200s in England, it became popular in Scotland in the 1400s. Ad(e) is a diminutive form of Adam and the old English "kin" is a diminutive suffix meaning little. There are four different coats of arms in Adkins family history, and the family motto is "vincit cum legibus arma", meaning "he wins over violence with laws". Originally spelled Adekyn, spelling variations include Addykin, Aiken, Atkinson, Atkyn, among many others. The earliest American Adkins genealogy traces back to 1635 in Virginia.

Early Origins of the Atkins Family

The surname Atkins was first found in Westmorland and Northumberland where they held a family seat from ancient times, before the Norman Conquest of England in 1066.

Atkins Spelling Variations

Before the last few hundred years, the English language had no fast system of spelling rules. For that reason, spelling variations are commonly found in early Anglo-Saxon surnames. Over the years, many variations of the name Atkins were recorded, including Adkin, Atkin, Atkins, Adekin, Adekyns, Adekyn, Adkins and many more.
