Sarah Oliver Akins was the daughter of Benjamin Oliver. Her father served under Captain Valentine Sevier and Colonel Charles Robinson in the American Revolution.
In April 1840, Benjamin Oliver applied for Revolutionary War Pension in Jackson County, Alabama. (Reference Benjamin Oliver S11156 at revwarapps.org.) He was awarded pension, but died before he collected, so the Treasury Department authorized that payment be made to his children identified as:
Joseph Oliver
Elizabeth Oliver Pendergrass
William Oliver
Sarah Oliver Akin
Rachel Oliver Morton
Nancy Oliver Lewis
Circa 1809, Ms Oliver married John Akins, son of Ezekiel and Sarah McCravey Akins.

(Reference DAR Genealogical Research System at dar.org. Membership is not required to access the GRS.)
John Akins fought in the War of 1812. In 1827, he won in the Georgia Land Lottery and he and Sarah and several of their children moved to Georgia. In his Will, dated September 16, 1856, John named his "beloved wife, Sarah," and children:
