Hi all Wondering if you find the subject names used interchangably in research? There were some Aikns that intermarried with the Casteels there in Baxter Co. The chart is kind of like a who's who of the county, isn't it? Or I should say it is many that we often discuss? Descendants of ? Akins 1 ? Akins ........... 2 ?

Bernie, in 1880 census, found Monroe AKIN enumerated two times -- believe it's same one. The other is in this household: 1880 Census - Sugar Loaf, Marion County, Arkansas Page 17B William AKIN, Self, 22, AR / TN / TN Josephine, Wife, 21, AR / AR / AR Mary J. AKIN, Dau, AR Nancy C. AKIN, Dau, 9M, AR Monroe AKIN, Brother, Single, 19, AR / TN / TN ***** Boone County, Arkansas Early Marriages, Book A, 1867 - 1877: William AIKIN, 21 -and- Josephine COKER, 28, Date: 5 March 1876 ***** Of course, you know Marion and Boone County borders changed back and forth a few times.

Peggy Looks like maybe the Akins brothers' father might have been a brother to the Akins that married the Casteel women? Did that make sense?
