Sharon: I am replying to you individually and doing a Copy to the group as well: The William Austin I wrote about died June 22, 1697. As I said he had a son William. That William, the son, died about June 15, 1735. The reason I am sure that they are father and son is that the name of the plantation was the same in both wills. The son Willaim listed as heirs his sons William, John and Jacob. On May 29, 1734 a William Austin and Martha Austin witnessed the will of a James Earle in Maryland. In Earle's will there is a mention of a granddaughter, Martha. This all came from the same Calendar of Maryland Wills Book mentioned before. Bob Austin
