Does anyone know where these Austins came from? They just appear in the Ocracoke and Currituck area in the early 1700s, but if I can find out where they might have come from, I might be able to name the father of Thomas Austin that was born Abt 1735. Any help would be appreciated! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
