Information taken from 4th Great Grandson Jon Harris. The Akin's were some of the very earliest settlers of what became Greater Burwood. Much of this write up come from the 1980 article by Lila Ragsdale in Williamson County Historical Journal No. 11 and Judith Grigsby Hayes 1988 Journal No. 19 WCHC.

Sometimes before 1800 they arrived with intentions to settle in Davidson County-hailing from Charleston, SC: and by 1801 had begun to purchase land from Thraasher McCullom near the headwaters of Murfree's Fork in Williamson Co. above the Duck River Ridge. The tract of land was considered to be some of the best in the western 4th Civil District. In 1811, he added to his farm from the sizable Benjamin Carter Revolutionary land grant. In 1831 he bought more land from Rev. John Pople. His farm was over 400 acres by this time.
Samuel and Darcus had twelve surviving children: five sons and seven daughters. Sam was a farmer and a small time storekeeper and invested early in the upkeep of the Carter's Creek Pike.
