Loojing for information on Hiram J Austin born about 1830 in VA his wife Martha Austin nee: Austin born about 1830 in TN They are found only once as a married couple in 1860 Alexander Co.,IL, they both died by 1863 leaving their only child (born GA) an orphan in the care of his aunt and uncle William Parrot and Angeline / Elizabeth Austin.. Have not located any marriage record, death record, or cemetery records for Hiram or Martha. Would like to find Hiram in 1850, not sure if he would be with his parents (names unknown) I have tried contacting those reseaching the Parrot line and Martha Austin's line with no luck. Would appreciate any ideas that will help break this wall Thank you....
