The AUSTIN line that I am following is that of Samuel John AUSTIN from Virginia, he was a United Empire Loyalist (on the British side in the Revolution). He supposedly had seven (7) brothers that were not loyalists. Someone out there must have a Samuel that is unaccounted for or maybe disowned by the family. If your Samuel was born ca 1760 then maybe we have a match. You can find more detailed info at my homepage in the book report on 00Root-Austin at: http://www.FamilyTreeMaker.com/users/k/r/a/Arnold-Edwin-Krause-Saskatchewan Listed below are the children of Samuel John Austin. These names may give some insight into the name of his father and maybe make a link back one more generation. Thanks in advance to any replies. Arnie Descendants of Samuel John Austin, Sr. 1.
