Married ca 1791 Ann Reeves, daughter of George and Jane (Burton) Reeves of New River Plantation. The 1830 Census of Ashe Co., NC places his birth 1760-1770. I have him listed as the grandson of John Austin Jr. and Mary McBee. Children of Bartholomew and Anne are; William 1792, Isaiah 1793, Jane 1795 married Bill Sanders, Jesse 1 Jan 1797-19 Jun 1890 married Margaret Douglas, Andrew 1799 married Louisanne Bryant, Lucinda 1802, David 1804, John 1806, George 1808 - 1854 Grayson Co., VA married Eleanor Fields, Robert 1811, Prudence 1813, Jackson 1815 and Edwin 1817. Jane Burton could be related to the Burton/Hatcher line that is part of my Stovall line. I have William Austin as BROTHER to my line of Stephen Austin and Dorcas Pinson. Stephen and Dorcas lived for awhile in Wayne Co., TN before settling and dying in Hardin Co., TN at Hollands Creek. Dorcas Pinson is grand-daughter of John Stovall and Dorcas *Unk. Any help with these lines would be appreciated. Debbie the GenMaster http:\\www.geocities.com\Heartland\Prairie\7578
