I am researching the Austin families of early Franklin Co, TN. In particular the War of 1812 (Creek Indian War) Volunteers: James M. Austin b 1786/1788 SC David Austin b 1791-1799 TN William Austin b 1792 TN Their parents probably came to the Southwest Territory of Tennessee about 1790 from SC. FACTS: According to the DNA Project of AFAOA.org, William is a match to the family of Nathaniel Austin of Gilder's Creek, Greenville, SC.   I do have a marriage record for the James M. Austin to a Sarah Ann Green in 1814 in Winchester,Franklin, TN Also the U.S. Census of 1830 Franklin Co, TN  for a David Austin who appears to be married with 6 children. 1830 U. S. Census of Morgan Co, AL also has a David Austin.   All three men removed to Morgan and Lawrence Co, AL 1818-1830. David said he lived in AL for a year or more until he left for TX.   In 1834 David removed to Fort Bend Co. TX and fought in the War of Texas Independence.  He  then served in the Army of the Republic of TX.   I have the Military service records and pensions for all three men. No definite proof has been found that shows that James M. Austin is related to David and William. However, James M. Austin and wife Sarah Green moved from AL to Henry Co, GA when her brother, William Green moved there. After that Sarah moved to Gordon Co., GA where there were some Austin descendants of Nathaniel of Greenville.  Her son, James Calvin Austin lived for over 30 years in Randolph Co, AL where there were other descendants of Nathaniel of Greenville.   I would like to find a male descendant of James or David who would be willing to participate in the AFAOA DNA testing for further research into these families.    Right now, I am trying to find the parents or relatives for these Austins. Thanks,  Helen
