Harriet Newell Austin, born 1819 dau. of Samuel Ward Austin and Mary Mitchell of North Kingstown, RI, was my gr-gr-great grandmother.  In perusing the Austin website, I have found at least three other individuals with the exact same name, born within approximately two decades of each other in the RI-CT area. I have also found two or three other women named Harriet Newell (plus other surname) who married into the Austin family at later times.  Was there some significance to this given name, Harriet Newell?  Was there some
well-known person who inspired this name in several daughters?  Or, was there some earlier connection to a Newell family in these family trees prior to 1800?  I have also noticed Newell used as a male first name among the Austins, and as a surname at later times among Austin spouses.  So, any clues or definitive information on these Harriet Newell Austins of CT and RI??   (Jan 2002)

Newton Co. Mo. Soundex.  Also found in 1880 census for Calwood, Callaway, MO John Auston and Eliza Jane Auston.  They have 3 children listed with them.  The ones in Newton Co. have 4 children of latter dates.  I do know that my grandparents had 7 children and my father was the youngest.  I have come to a brick wall of sorts.  I can't seem to find any earlier ones and am not sure if the 2 families are one and the same.  I do feel they are, but hunches I guess don't count.  I would like to find out who John's (my Grandfather) parents were.  I am new at this and have no idea where to go from here so any help would be very valuable in my search.  I know very little of my father or any of his family.  I also understand he (my father) had a early marriage in Mo. and 2 children were born from this marriage.  (Nov 2001)
