From chapter 4 of The McClintick-McClintock Clans of America:122
William was a bricklayer and built the first jail in Jeffersonville,
IN.
The following entries are found on the 1820 census for Indiana. Note that
the McClinticks were William's in-laws.

William Akins 420010 31010
Although his gravesite is not known, it has been stated that William died
c1844. That's the year his estate was probated. However, this entry is found
on the 1830 census.

Mrs(?) Rabecca Akins 0103100000000 0220001000000
In fact, comparing this with other entries on the same page, it might say
"Wid" Rabecca Akins. Perhaps it's not unusual to find three widows listed on
the same page from the 1830 census but it might be worth investigating for
an incident that might have left several settlers dead just prior to that
year.
