Trying to find my husbands great grandparents, Joseph Harvey(?) Austin married to Mary Jane Shaw This is the information that we have been able to gather: Joseph born abt 1806 in NY married Mary Jane born abt 1814 in NY (I do not have documentation). Found them in the 1840-44 Michigan book with 2 children that we now believe were Brice brn 1841 and Celestra brn 1844. 1850 census found in the Rock Island Co., Illinois census with child called Phoebe later named Marian Agnes Austin (my husbands great grandmother). 1860 Still on Rock Island Co., Ill. census. Haven't been able to document their lives before 1840 or after 1860. Where did this family go? Marian Agnes married Jarot Tennis in 1868 in Hartford, Lyon Co., KS but they were not in the 1870 KS census (that I could find). Marian's first child, George Tennis born 1873 in Montogomery Co., KS. By 1875 they were in Joplin, MO. where Jaret dies and I have not been able to find ONE word on his death date or ect. Marian Agnes remarries in 1876 in MO. to Columbus Griffith. Can you fill in any of the information for me? Any ideas where to look for additional information? No one in my husband's family has any information or pictures. Thanks for checking your records. Z
