Hi Bob, and list The First Austin in my line that is proven is William Austin born May 9, 1738 in Maryland + Ann Unknown I am only guessing that his father was William Austin born abt. 1710 in Maryland + Mary Cleves and guessing that his parents were William Austin born abt 1689 in Maryland there sons were William, John and Jacob + Elizabeth Tippon and guessing that his parents were William Austin born abt 1660 in Maryland + Elizabeth Skinner I would like to find out how I could prove the above to be true or false. Bob could you please tell me where you are getting the records that you have posted?
