It's possible, but I can find no Hiram in the information I have. William was born 11 Nov 1795 in Rensselaer Co., N.Y, and died 22 Oct 1859 in Mt. Pleasant Township, Ill. He married Margaret (Peggy) Livings about 1854. She was born 8 Apr 1799 and died 3 Oct 1877 in Mt. Pleasant Township, Ill. William was the son of Isaac Austin who was baptized 16 Apr 1762 and died in Renselaer Co., N.Y. in 1802. He married Deborah Reynolds who died in 1802 also. We show Isaac's father as David Austin who was baptized 5 Jan 1739 and married a Margaret Stuart. Deborah Reynolds was the daughter of Reuben Reynolds II and Hepzibah Reynolds. Reuben was born 1735 and died 1819. Hepzibah was born 1744 and died 1823. I have tentative ancestors of Margaret Stuart and both Reynolds. David Austin and Margaret Stuart had children: Sylvanus, Holmes,Mary, Charles Stuart, Hannah, Isaac (ours), Isaiah, Prudence, Samuel & Jeremiah. Isaac and Deborah Reynolds had six children: Isaac, Joel, Stewart, Seymour, Sarah and William. William and Peggy Livings had, we show, ten children: We do not show a Stewart as a son of William. So glad to get that information (any dates, marriages, etc.). We show Ezra died in infancy. Maria, 27 Jan 1820; Miranda, March 1822; Daniel L., 22 Oct 1823; Dennis; Jonathan died aged two years; Silas 6 Dec 1830; Martin V, 1833; Georgiana, 1837; William S. Dennis and Harriet Gary also had ten children: Emory 19 May 1848 who drowned in Rock Creek at the age of twelve; Millard F, 27 Oct 1850; Frank P, 20 Mar 1853; Harrison C, 9 Apr 1855; Esther W. (my grandmother), 20 Apr 1857; Olive B., 17 Sep 1860; Lincoln A, 11 Jan 1864; Hattie B, 22 Dec 1869; Clara E, 21 Mar 1870; and Clark D, 17 Apr 1873. I have names of some of the other grandchildren of William and Peggy - but no Hiram. If any one else has information on this line, I would be glad to receive it.
