Hello, Austins, I found this information that intrigued me, and thought I'd see if anyone recognized the subjects. SCOTT CO., VA ---------------------------------------------------------- http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ifetch2?/ u1/data/va+index+124028759184+F File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by:Jenny Stilwell [email protected] Stony Creek Baptist Church Minute Books 1801 - 1811 1811 - 1814 Fort Blackmore Scott County Virginia This copy of what is perhaps the first book of the Stony Creek Primitive Baptist Church, located on Stony creek, near Fort Blackmore, Scott County, Virginia, was in the possession of Mr. Scott Beatright of Colburn, Virginia, whose grandfather was once a Minister of this church.The book is written on paper and bound between covers made of home spun cloth. The handwriting is very good and the ink has lasted well.Copied August, 1966, by Emory L. Hamilton, Wise, Virginia, with a copy filed in the Archives of the Southwest Virginia Historical Society, at Clinch Valley College, Wise, Virginia and a copy sent to the Virginia State Library, Richmond, Virginia. ...June the 24, 1809 The church met together and found in love... Then came forward Pressleigh Nuston (AUSTON) and joined the church by letter... April the 24, 1813... (The next page in the book is upside down and contains what appears to be a roster of members, with small square cut off the bottom right hand corner, which contained about nine names.) ...Priscilla AUSTON... [NOTE: Items in parentheses are by the original transcriber.] I find this family of interest, as the name of the male would appear to have been PRESSLEY AUSTIN. This was a reported son of David Jones AUSTIN of Hardin Co., TN, Itawamba Co., MS, and Le Flore Co., OK & TX? The name of the son of David Jones Austin has also been reported as Clifford Pressley Austin, but I have never found any documents that show this child as related to my David. If anyone "owns" this Austin, I would love to hear! Pam [email protected]
