I live in Texas, and can't get to VA often for research purposes; hence my cry for help. I am seeking information about my g-g-gf, George B. Austin, a miller, b. abt 1818 in VA. Here's what I know: The earliest record I can find is his marriage to my g-g-gm, (Mrs) Jane Penn White, Dec 1839, in Lexington, Rockbridge CO, VA. They appear in the 1840 Lexington census, Rockbridge CO, p.168: Austin, Geo. B., 1 male10, 1 male 20-30, 1 female 20-30 7/5/1850 census. Northern Division, Bedford CO, p.170 George B.(age 33) and Jane (age 33) Austin Children: John, 9, b. VA Lucinda, 7, b. VA Betty, 6, b. VA (my great-grandmother) James, 5, b. VA Harriet, 4, b. VA Fannie, 2, b. VA 7/19/1860 census. Lynchburg, Campbell CO, p. 416 G. B. (age 42) and Jane (age 44) Austin Children: Jno W, age 19, b. VA Eliza A., age 14, b. VA Jas. M., age 12, b. VA Mary A., age 7, b. VA Chas. B., age 1, b. VA 6/28/1870 census. Otter Twp., Bedford CO, p. 290 Geo. B. (age 52) and Jane (age 53) Austin Mary Alice, age 16, b. VA 1880 census. Lisbon, Bedford CO, page 209A George B. (age 62) and Jane (age 64) Austin George's Civil Service record. He was a color bearer who gave distinguished service in the 58th VA Infantry, Company C. Enlisted at Big Island 27 July 1861. Wounded right knee and left shoulder at Gaines Mill 27 June 1862. Later received Confederate Disability, and an artificial limb. Also found George and Jane in Bedford CO Families and History, in Hardesty's Historical and Geographical Encyclopedia, pub.1883 - about James Goff, who married their daughter Mary Alice (called Mollie). States that her parents made their home in Bedford CO in 1861, and are "still residents there". I would very much like to find George's parents and siblings, and data on George and Jane's deaths and where they are buried - and, of course, any other information possible. I've searched through all the censuses, the online cemetery and death records I can find, plus digging in the Bedford CO courthouse and museum records, Rockbridge CO courthouse, and the libraries in Lynchburg, Staunton, Waynesboro and Roanoke, on the few occasions I've gotten to VA. Thank you in advance for any assistance. Pat [Patricia (Austin) Rogers]
