The first King of the Asona group of people then at Adanse Kokobiante in Ashanti. The Asona of the Ahenkorakese group led by Nana Agyapon Tenten first settled at Adanse Ofoase and moved with Ofori Panyin of Akyem Abuakwa to Pamen in Eastern Akyem Abuakwa before moving again with King Safori to establish the new Ofori Kuma dynasty of Akuapem around 1733. Nana Kwatia Akompi led the Ahenkorakesee Asona group from Pamen to Akuapem where they stayed with Omanhene Sated at Amanprobi near Akropong. Nana Kwatia Akompi died at Amanprobi and was succeeded by Nana Osim Kwatia who led the Ahenkorakese Asona group to accompany King Safori to move from Amanprobi to Nsorem, between Akropong and Abiriw. After the death of Osim Kwatia, Amanor Awuah succeeded to the leadership of the Ahenkorakese Asona group till about 1740.
At that time, the traditional administration of Akuapem was being run by Ofei Boa as a Regent. It is reported that during an Ohum festival around 1740, Nana Amanor Awuah had a misunderstanding with Ofei Boa over the ownership of some palm wine which resulted in Nana Amanor Awuah and his people moving from Akropong with the intention of returning to Akim Abuakwa. Their first stop was Adesaase and later Odomenase near Dodowa.

In 1742, Omanhene Fianko Betuafo (1735-1742) requested Nana Awuah to come and reside on the Akuapem Ridge and in compliance Nana Amanor Awuah with Konton Morrah decided to establish the new town of Amanokrorn. Four sections of quarters were established in this new township:1. Konton Bronmu, 2. Poribon, 3. Aguampore and 4. Ahweren Kwadwo's quarters. As a town established by a member of the Asona clan, the stool of Amanokrom from its establishments was and is still being occupied by Asona descendants or Ahenkorakese with a few exceptions of about five regencies till today.
