Ruth has done extensive work in research: gathering census documents, cemetery records, and marriage records primarily in the Virginia counties of Pittsylvania, Franklin, Floyd and Campbell. She has located and visited numerous family burying grounds as well as established cemeteries and gives their actual locations in her notes.
There are a number of Austin intermarriages which bear further research. Ruth's database actually has two progenitors, Miles Austin and John Austin. AFAOA Southern Genealogist Liz Austin Carlin has spent considerable time trying to tie the two Virginia Austin families together, but so far to no avail. Liz did discover another possible son of Miles named Isaac, and his family has been added to the database. The last update included inputs from Ruth, Ann Ledford and Scott Schaffer.
