I also know there was a doctor Hartshorn in Alfred at that time and a wealthy family in Hornell, NY. So it is hard to say who his father was. I do not feel the woman who dropped him off and left probably came from very far. A real mystery to our family. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Austin family of Allegany Co. is included in a database at the Austin Families Association of America web site. It does not appear that the Charles Austin from that family is the one you are looking for. He married a Margaret Virginia MacIntyre & lived in Saginaw, MI. His page in the database is here: http://tinyurl.com/2hlhkk Perhaps you could try contacting the Washington Co. county clerk & ask for a death record search for your Charles Austin. If you did find a record it could have parent`s names on it. This is the info. for the clerk: Washington County Courthouse One South Main Street Washington, PA 15301 (724) 228-6775 Pat R.

I have a couple of AUSTINs in my line. One was married to Simeon Rose (my Uncle's father). Her name was Ruth. They lived in or around Cattaraugus County Farmersville area. The other Austin married a Steven MARBLE and is/was located in Michigan. Her name Mary Carol Austin Marble. Steven was born 1950 so they probably are still alive. Don't know if this will help you any, but if you find a connection, I would love to update some of my tree. Oh, I forgot, I also have a cousin that married a Corinne Austin. His name is Mark Pazder. Her family was in the Rushford area in Allegany County. Another relative, Jeffrey walker married a Christine Austin from California (where they now live). I see you are also looking for ROSSes. When we were growing up in Erie County, we had friends that used to visit my parents. There was Bob Ross and his wife Diane. I think he had a brother too, but I cannot remember his name.

He was supposedly dropped off at an inn in the Almond, NY area of Allegany County by a woman who went to run an errand and never returned. He was raised by Dorcas and James Wright in Clarksville,NY and married Rose Wright from Almond,NY. He was born about 1851. Do not know where the middle name Hartshorn came from as it is not a surname in the family. Ever hear such a story or know anything?

He and his brother supposedly came from France to NY around 1875. Upon arrival, someone robbed them of their money. William was working in St. Louis, Mo. as a driver in 1876. William later moved to Jefferson and Washington Co., Mo. I do not know the brother's name or where he went. William's parent's were Vieto Nephew and Hortense Dupien. William married Lucy DeGonia 1877 in Old Mines, Washington Co., Mo. They had 11 children. William died 1923 and is buried at St. Joachim's Catholic Church in Old Mines, Mo. William and Lucy's children were: Cloves, Agnes, Ella, Tresia, Anna, Frank, John, Clara, James, Thomas and Bertha. Perhaps one of the boys was named after William's brother.
