The mentioned Richard Austin, born 1775 ..... is part of the " John Austin of Southside Virginia" database on the Austin Families Assn of America Website at www.afaoa.org/ You can see it in Family Group Sheet style by going to Research - Southern databases - VA John Sr. Southside. 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, since the Search will only find "exact" matches. When the person is born, or is a parent, no problem. But when the person is the "head" person, there is a Generation Number between the first and last name, and the Search will not locate the person. To find the "Head" and his/her family, search on the parent's name. ( For this search, I just put in "Elike" by itself. Then click on Chapter 1-5 ) Richard is not descended from the mentioned John. He is a brother of John. The database begins with the unknown common ancestor.
