William's last name is found spelled variously as Akin, Akins, Aiken and Eakin. I've adopted the spelling Akins because most of his children appear to have used it. He appears on a 1809 voter list for Clark county IN as William Eakin and on a roster of soldiers who fought at Tippacanoe in 1811, also as William Eakin.
William may have married first Polly Goodwin in 1800.7 He married Rebecca McClintick, one would guess, by the time of the birth of their first known child in 1808. That William's step-father may have been William Goodwin makes the first marriage interesting. It appears that William Goodwin's brother, James Goodwin (c1760-) had a daughter named Polly.
The 1820 census indicates that there were ten children in William's household. In 1830, there were only nine. We might assume, then, that one of the eldest children, possibly a son, married by 1830. Basic data for his family comes from The McClintick-McClintock Clans of America, 1998, by George Stuart.122
