According to "Sketches of Old Dartmouth" by Henry Worth, James was on the "Committee of 21" during the Revolutionary War. His house was burned by the British. In "Padanaram History", Henry Worth states that James Akin owned a 15 acre estate and his house was on the east side of Elm Street before being burned by the British. It was on the north edge of the 15 acres and stood on the same spot as the house of Charles C. Stearns [1908]. In another point, Worth says that his house was opposite the Post Office as it existed in 1908. In yet another note, Henry states that the house of James Akin was south of Elm street which makes more sense than east since Elm Street runs East-West. When James died, he left an estate of $2500 to his son, Richard, and upon the death of Richard in 1809, the estate was sold in small parcels to settle his estate.
