From Helen Austin Dear Steve, I knew Don Austin and corresponded with him about his genealogy before 1990. I will need to look up my files. I sent him a gedcom of the files of the Descendants of John Calhoun Austin b 1831 TN, d in Lawrence Co, AL. If we are talking about the same Don Austin he had a trucking company in AZ. His mother and brother were here at the funeral and I met them at Old Brick Cemetery in 1991. So, he is a Lauderdale Co, Colbert Co, Lawrence Co, AL Austin. I don't know about Laura. She may have been one of the adopted children. I will have to look in my database. You can write to me directly at AustinART@aol.com
