Do you how or why your William Hirum Akins found his way to Attala Co.,Ms.
I have Eakin and Aiken in same known family group in Ms.
My William Eakin had a unknown son born abt 1825 according to census. A brother of this unknown son was named John[b.1824]and he named his son William H. Eakin b.1850.
This family for the most part are in Attala Co. with some moving to Tx and Ark. There was a Hiram Eakin found in Madison Co.Ms. and Holms Co. I think.
Not sure this is of any help but though I would pass it on in case the spelling of the your Akins name is connected to Eakin.
Not sure if you have searched the name Eakin for a clue but if not give it a try. By searching all spellings I have found family members.
