From Vol. 1 of Wayne Co., KY records by June Bork, page 3 -

ADKINS, James Sr. and Nancy PEMBERTON. Surety, Washington YOUNG. Married 01 April 1819 by
John Stephenson. (Groom is the son of Benjamin ADKINS.)
ADKINS, Samuel and Telitha B. ADKINS. Surety, Benjamin ADKINS. Married 14 October 1851 by Jacob
Moulder. Note: "Mr. Simpson pleas grant Samuel lisons for Telitha by Nancy ADKINS". (Daughter of
James ADKINS and Nancy PEMBERTON.)
ADKINS, Calvin and Nancy Ann PHIPPS. Surety, B.E. Roberts, (clerk). Married 15 October 1858 by
William P. Gooding. Groom resides and born on South Fork in Wayne, age 30, single; bride resides and

Based on the above, I cannot see any relationship of Nancy Atkins to the two Sowder males in her household.
