"Siblings were brother Jasper, and half-siblings Martha, George Washington, Edward Ray, Harriett and Ralph.

Paternal grandparents were William Akers and Frances 'Fanny' Nancy Jones.

Maternal grandparents were Daniel Boone Blevins and Frankie Corder."

Comment: If Jasper is brother, not half-sibling, their mother must have died with or soon after his birth abt 1859 in Arkansas, as Jasper is shown as 4 mos in 1860 census and their father has remarried to Charlotte.
