I am researching a HUGH AUSTIN (b. ca. 1810) who married JULIA HALEY ca. 1830 either in Lincoln Co., TN or on route in an unknown location. Julia's family-parents CHARLES HALEY and MARY POLLY WALKER and siblings--arrived in Lincoln Co., TN by about 1830 from Rockingham Co., NC (they lived near the Caswell Co. border). Per an article in Goodspeed's History of Poinsett Co., AR about Julia's brother, REV. JEREMIAH T. HALEY, he reported that "Julia was the wife of Hugh Austin, a farmer of Lincoln County, Tenn.; she died at Harrisburg, Ark., about 1879." I have searched high and low for a HUGH AUSTIN. In 1830 there is a HARRIS AUSTIN in LCT, b. bet. 1800-1810, living next door to a much-older DREWRY AUSTIN (b. bet. 1750-1760). By 1840, Harris Austin is in neighboring Bedford Co., TN along with a CHAMNESS AUSTIN (not on same page and relationship, if any, not known). In that census, this Chamness Austin, interestingly, is living next door to a CHARLES HALEY (much younger than father of Julia Haley Austin and relationship to my Haleys unknown, if any). The constellation of Harris Austin's family does not fit the known children of Julia (Haley) and Hugh Austin. Plus, I believe that Julia Haley Austin was a widow by 1840, when a woman Julia's age with five children are living with her mother, Mary (Walker) Haley in Lincoln Co., TN. Also in LCT in 1830 (on a completely different page and perhaps different part of the county than Harris Austin) was a SAMUEL AUSTIN, b. 1770-1780. In his household, in addition to himself and his presumed wife, there were three children ages 5-10, a male, 15-20 and a female, 20-30. Just a page over from this Samuel Austin is Julia Haley Austin's father, CHARLES HALEY, along with her uncle, JEREMIAH WALKER, and brothers, WILLIAM W. HALEY and THOMAS T. HALEY. Make note of the young adults in this household. I will mention them below. As mentioned, by 1840, I believe Julia Haley Austin was a widow and residing with her 5 children with her mother in LCT. Samuel Austin, b. 1770-1780, was enumerated in LCT in 1840 and listed on the same census page with him were Julia Haley Austin's brother, JEREMIAH T. HALEY and another close relation, WILEY WILBANKS. Given the proximity of Samuel Austin to the Haley family in 1830 and 1840, I am hypothesizing that the Hugh Austin who married Julia Haley was either Samuel's son or a close relation. In order to be married ca. 1830, he would likely have been born by about 1810. I believe that Hugh Austin is likely the young man in Samuel Austin's household in 1830 in the "15-20" age catergory while Julia Haley Austin would be on the younger end of the "20-30" age category. Hugh and Julia were likely recently married and do not appear to have any children. Later records support a birthdate ca. 1810 for Julia. Looking back to the 1820 Census, the Gideon Austin of Lincoln County, TN does have a male born bet. 1805-1815 in his household. However, the name Gideon does not seem to come down the line in Hugh and Julia Austin's family. Yet, the name Samuel appears frequently. By 1850, Julia Haley Austin is on record in Pontotoc Co., MS. Her mother in Lincoln Co., TN is believed to be deceased by that date. Julia is the head of her own household, a presumed widow, with children: ARCHIBALD (17), MARTHA (15), MARY (12) & HUGH AUSTIN (10). Listed on the roster of the Camp Ground Church of that county are: (Male members in 1850)--Samuel Aston (Julia's son) and (Female members in 1850)--Julian Aston (Julia, widow of Hugh) and Martha Aston (their daughter, who would have been 15 in 1850). What drew Julia (Haley) Austin to Mississippi? Did she have Austin family relations there? By 1860, Julia was living with her daughter, MARY AUSTIN COOPER, wife of WILLIAM COOPER, in Poinsett Co., AR. This is the county to which Julia's brother, REV. JEREMIAH T. HALEY (farmer and Methodist Minister) had migrated ca. 1856. Accounted for in that county in 1860 were most of Julia and Hugh Austin's children, as follows: --Samuel Austin and wife, MARTHA UNKNOWN (Samuel, oldest son, b. ca. 1831. His age is off in this census). He might have married an Elizabeth Crow or Cross in MS in 1857. Iin 1876, he may have married a Mary Coleman in Poinsett Co., AR --Archibald Austin and MARY JANE BELL Archibald H. Aston married Mary J. Bell 4 Feb 1852 (Pontotoc Co., Mississippi Marriage Book, 1849-1891) (Per other researchers, she died ca. 1912, Coleman Co., TX) --Mary Austin and husband, WILLIAM COOPER. This Cooper family was living two households away from Julia Haley Austin in Pontotoc Co., MS in 1850. --Hugh M. Austin, single, living with his cousin, Mathilda Haley and husband, JOSEPH HAWL (HALL). --Martha Austin's status is not known. I have other Austins, but won't add more data to the mix right now. ANY feedback is appreciated. Thanks, Monica Wilbanks Buzbee

Austin Families Assn shows Horace Austin as a descendant of "Rhode Island Robert Austin". He is the son of Rufus Austin and Eleanor Fitoch. He served in the military in a number of wars, and is said to have participated in helping slaves to flee to the North by way of the "Underground Railroad". "RI Robert Austin " can be found on the Austin Families Assn of America Website www.afaoa.org . You can see it in Family Group Sheet style by going to Austin Research - Northern databases - RI Robert. Or to see it "book" style go to the Text Document Search - Descendancy Books. When searching on a name in Text, there is one minor annoyance. There is a generation number between the given name and the surname when the person appears in the book as the "head" of his family (for example John1 Austin). Use the asterisk as a wild character to get around this feature (to search for John Austin, enter "John* Austin" -- the quotation marks are required to just return documents with John Austin and not all of the documents containing Austin or John).

I am working on the DNA lineage of Austin. families who originated in Maryland and migrated to North Carolina and then on to Weakley County, Tennessee. In order to complete the ancestor cycle, I urgently need to find a living direct male descendant from the following family Austin family that was in Weakley County. Moses Austin, b. ca. 1765, probably in Orange County, NC and in Weakley Co., TN by 1830 mar. Mary (Polly) Williams in NC Vincent, Austin, b..1800 Samuel F. Austin, b. 1803 Moses Austin, Jr, b. 1806 Each of these sons had large families so there is a good possibility some males descendants are still living. I would like to communicate with any living males who descended from Moses Austin, Sr. There is a fee required to complete a DNA test and I am willing to pay for the test if a suitable direct male descendant is found.

Per great suggestions Theresa Allen was born in 1800 in either Jefferson County or Albany County, NY, according to census records. She married Jacob Austin in 1820. Their first child was born in Oneida County in 1821. Jacob and Theresa lived in Herkimer County during the 1825 census through 1845 census period. (In 1844 Jacob and Theresa's grandchild [Melissa Helmer] was born in Denmark, Lewis County.) The 1850 census finds them in Jefferson county, town of Pamelia. Living with them are their children and Theresa's mother, Keziah Allen. In 1855, 1860 & 1865 Theresa and Jacob & family were in Antwerp, Jefferson County. Jacob died in 1866 in Antwerp, Jefferson County and is buried there. Theresa moved to Missouri with some of her children and died there in 1884. I submitted a previous email, questioning whether Theresa or Keziah could be Indian. I received many responses, every last one of them confirming my belief that if either of them were Indian, they would most likely be Mohawk. I had asked the question when I saw that someone had asked about a Sarah Allen that was thought to be Blackfoot from central NY. If anyone connects, or if you have any suggestions for further research, please let me know. Thank you for replying to my request for assistance. Kathy Williams
