I am researching the Rawl family and I have a Margaret Elizabeth Austin that was married to John Rawl. I noticed in your information that you listed all of Davis Austin and Catherine Inabinet's children but you only mentioned Margaret Elizabeth Austin.

Do you have anymore information on her or her spouse, their children, etc? 8/12/08

Would appreciate any information on Hiram I am unalbe to find any death or marriage records for him in Alexander County nor any cemetery informaiton.

-174 Jeffery Lutz ~LUTZJIM@MSN.COM

Have reason to believe Sybil Austin (b. 17 May 1793, d. 1875) of Wallingford, CT to be my great great great grandmother. Married Joel Walkley (b. 1787) in Wallingford, 23 Feb 1815. Daughter Harriet Newell Walkley (b. 1830). This is my missing piece: I believe, but cannot verify, that Harriet married Benjamin Jeffery ca. 1850 and bore a child by the name of Benjamin Walkley Jeffery, while living in the household of Sybil Austin, then widowed. Benjamin Walkley Jeffery would be my great grandfather, Benjamin Wallace Jeffery would be my grandfather, Benjamin Jeffery, husband of Harriet Walkley, my great great grandfather.

Can anyone out there verify Harriet's marriage to Benjamin Jeffery or provide any other significant details? I am also unsure about Walkley being Benjamin's middle name. 6/30/08

I-173 James Foley-foley@penske.com

Need help!

I am trying to find my gggrand mother Rachel Austin Foley. in the census of 1850 in Knox co ky. she was 80 years old and for the birth state it is listed as MD, but at some point she was living in Grayson co va. for around 1807 she was married to Moses Foley and gave birth to Martin C Foley and around 1815 they moved to Knox co ky.

I have not been able to find any information on any of this. Moses was in 1795 a justice of the peace in Grayson co va. and also a ordained preacher and lived on 460 acres of land on meadow creek and I see it is on the north Carolina border. so would hope that she belongs to one of the Austin family's and she wasn't over looked.

This has been a big puzzle to me for many years. thanks. 6/29/08

Note: Edith's obituary states she also had a daughter Myrtle A. who married a Joe Harris - living in San Francisco as of Jan. 1928
Myrtle was born 1891 - died 1972
I have never found a Myrtle living in the household of Alfred and Edith. Only learned of Myrtle after reading the obit of her mother, Edith.

I-169 Phyllis Jacobs-shamrox@earthlink.net

Hi, a few years ago I was in contact with a lady named Ruth from Danville, Va. who was helping me with my Austin family tree. I cannot find her email now, so am wondering if you might help me. I descend from John Austin, son Joseph, (1732) then Champness Terry Austin, who was born in 1769 in Pittsylvania county. What I find confusing is this: Joseph Austin married Welthy Prewitt in 1777 and has children by her. Champness is born before this date as are other children. I found notes that perhaps a first wife was _____ Terry. However in the same notes Ruth sent me, I find " Joseph married _____Terry, she died 1775. They had the following children: John, William, Stephen, DAvid. Why is Champness not listed here if he is her son too, born before she dies? I am very confused. Can you help? I will be so grateful. Thanks, Phyllis Jacobs. 5/13/08

My family is looking for any information on an Issac Austin who was married to a Minnie "Harshbarger" Austin. They had three children 2 girls and a boy, One girl was named Jeanette and the other we do not know, the boy was Fred.. Issac died in some kind of accident in and around Gladwin County, Michigan around 1904. He is burried in a cemetary near the town of Rhodes. She moved herself and the children to her home town in Sidney, Ohio where she died not too soon after her husband died of cancer and the children were put in an orphanage. That is as far as our family information goes, the boy Fred was my grandfather and he was only 3 or 4 when he and his sisters were put in the orphangage, so he did not remember much. Any help would be appreciated.

David Austin's Children

I have a copy of an obit (I think) for a "Mrs. Martha Anna Francis Austin" b. 8 Jun 1820 who died in Waterbury
Vermont. It says that she is the oldest daughter of David and Pamela Wright Austin.

How can she be "Mrs" and still have the last name of Austin - maybe she married a cousin or something? Have you ever heard of this person?

I am a SUTTON family researcher focusing on William SUTTON of Stockton (Cassadaga), Chautauqua, NY who married Emma Smith Austin after first wife Emma Miller died.  Emma Smith Austin had two children: Minnie Austin, Willie Austin. They later had several more SUTTON children.
 
I'd like to correspond with the AFAOA genealogist or interested persons to exchange information. I particularly would like to find primary evidence for the Emma Smith marriage to William Dalton Austin.

This helps make more sence of William Sutton's wives. He married Emma Miller April 22, 1877 in Stockton and she died 5/5/1878.
 
He then married Emma Smith widow of unknown Austin. She had two children from her previous marriage Minnie Austin and Willie Austin. I wish I could find out the name of her first husband. I believe Emma died in Rochester at the home of her daughter Evelyn Sutton Ramsdall the wife of Charles Pitt Ramsdale.
 
I wonder who Emma's parents were. Minnie Austin married Archie Sprague March 17, 1897 at Burnhams (now Cassadaga). They had three children Lucille Eloise Sprague 1898, Benjamin M. Sprague 1902 and Margaret Rosina Sprague 1907. Archie Sprague grandmother was Elizabeth (Ames) Rice. William Sutton was about 40 when he married the two Emma's. Makes me wonder if he had a another wife before he married them. 1/02/07

Minnie and Oscar Atkins were married about 1888 in Georgia. Family members tell me that they were known as Uncle Oscar and Aunt Minnie and Minnie was a nickname. I also heard that Minnie was the oldest daughter of John Thomas and Georgia Austin. I cannot find a record prior to 1900 showing the Austin's oldest daughter. In the 1900 census (Polk Co., GA) she is only 18 (born abt. 1882) and they already have a baby. I also found the rest of the family and all the children but "Minnie" in the Polk Co., GA census. One of John Thomas and Georgia's sons, Eugene, left home at about 16 because he did not like farming. He later married and had 3 daughters. He then started living with a Nell Irvin Darswell and had 10 children with her. I need the names of the first wife and 3 daughters, if you have it. Thank you, in advance, for any help you can provide. 8/28/06
