The only info that I have on the other Austin's is that they were Loyalists. This info was obtained from the net by goning to the GenWeb sit for Digby, NS. and then the Loyalist lines. URL is: http://www.rootsweb.com/~canwgw/ns/digby/perm/town.htm As far a "DS", I don't know what it means. I am posting this to the Austin-L list in hopes that someone else may know the answers to this question.
