Looking for these Austins - descendants and ancestors. This is a resend of this line for any new or renewed Austin researchers. I don't think I've made any progress on this line in 20 years! How can we have the line back to Adam and not be able to connect an Austin...? Where did he come from? Who was he and his family? All thoughts appreciated. I believe these Austins may have "gone through" Maryland quickly from Virginia possibly to Kentucky. They were (at least the later lines) very Catholic.
