Hi I have Benjamin Austin as a son to Thomas & Hannah Austin. In fact today I was just going through the Vital records film at the LDS and I photocopied the page 16 June 1694 Benjamin Son of Thomas & Hannah Astin. This is in a seperate section of the records where someone wrote all the name and dates in order of birth. I also have a list from the gendex given Banjamin Austin married to Mary Stevens and ther third son is Benjamin Austin Jr also there 12 son is Benjamin Austin Jr. so I would asume the first one died and you are a decendant of the 12 child. I am sorry I did not get there marriage as it wasn't my line and the film is going back on the 25th. I won't get back to the library as I am going away for the weekend. Mary Lou
