About Mary Akin
Ref.: < https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/42380336/mary-akin >,
John Osborne Austin gives Aug. 9, 1671 as the date of birth for Mary Briggs. This date of birth is also documented in the Dartmouth Vital Records, Vol. 1; page 46. John Akin began to acquire land on Smiths Neck in 1692. Through Thomas Briggs, Mary Briggs' father, John Akin was able to acquire over 300 acres of land on Smiths Neck prior to Mary's death about 1710. Their first child, David Akin, was born September 19, 1689, and Mary bore John Akin ten children before dying in 1708 probably in childbirth since her last child, Judith, was born that same year.
As to their marriage date of 1687, I have found this date in two separate documents both from the Quaker Hill, NY area. One reference is in the small pamphlet entitled: "The History of Christ Church on Quaker Hill, Pawling, NY" by Margaret B. Monahan, Helen G. Daniels and Gae Mitchell; Published 1987, Pawling, Dutchess, NY on page 11. The other reference in in a 6-page type written manuscript entitled: "A Brief Genealogical Record of the Akin Family", Akin Free Library, Quaker Hill, Pawling District, Dutchess, NY which I have a copy of. It is unsigned and dates after 1903. I have found no other documentation for this date of marriage for John and Mary Briggs Akin. While I realize that this means that she would have had to have married John when she was but 16 years old, it can be verified that their first child, David Akin, was born September 19, 1689. Thus, given her date of birth of 1611, she was only 17 years old when she conceived David, their first child (December 1688 or January 1689). As a result, I have concluded that it is reasonable that they could have been married the previous year of 1687.
