Hi Cousin Marha, Welcome to our AKINS List. I am it's ListOwner. Stop by my personal website: http://www.roostweb.com/~gahall/cat/ where you'll find a lot of AKINS info. I, too, am related to Lewis AKINS & Elizabeth MANN. via his son Ezekiel. Most of the Francis AKINS line has been published in the "Pioneers of Wiregrass Georgia" but I think some researchers have found discrepancies with that version of descendants.
