My family is looking for any information on an Issac Austin who was married to a Minnie "Harshbarger" Austin. They had three children 2 girls and a boy, One girl was named Jeanette and the other we do not know, the boy was Fred.. Issac died in some kind of accident in and around Gladwin County, Michigan around 1904. He is burried in a cemetary near the town of Rhodes. She moved herself and the children to her home town in Sidney, Ohio where she died not too soon after her husband died of cancer and the children were put in an orphanage. That is as far as our family information goes, the boy Fred was my grandfather and he was only 3 or 4 when he and his sisters were put in the orphangage, so he did not remember much. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

David Austin's Children

I have a copy of an obit (I think) for a "Mrs. Martha Anna Francis Austin" b. 8 Jun 1820 who died in Waterbury
Vermont. It says that she is the oldest daughter of David and Pamela Wright Austin.

How can she be "Mrs" and still have the last name of Austin - maybe she married a cousin or something? Have you ever heard of this person?

Cynthia in Minneapolis; 2nd great-granddaughter of Sally/Sarah Austin (1785-1863)

I am a SUTTON family researcher focusing on William SUTTON of Stockton (Cassadaga), Chautauqua, NY who married Emma Smith Austin after first wife Emma Miller died.  Emma Smith Austin had two children: Minnie Austin, Willie Austin. They later had several more SUTTON children.
 
I'd like to correspond with the AFAOA genealogist or interested persons to exchange information. I particularly would like to find primary evidence for the Emma Smith marriage to William Dalton Austin.

This helps make more sence of William Sutton's wives. He married Emma Miller April 22, 1877 in Stockton and she died 5/5/1878.
 
He then married Emma Smith widow of unknown Austin. She had two children from her previous marriage Minnie Austin and Willie Austin. I wish I could find out the name of her first husband. I believe Emma died in Rochester at the home of her daughter Evelyn Sutton Ramsdall the wife of Charles Pitt Ramsdale.
 
I wonder who Emma's parents were. Minnie Austin married Archie Sprague March 17, 1897 at Burnhams (now Cassadaga). They had three children Lucille Eloise Sprague 1898, Benjamin M. Sprague 1902 and Margaret Rosina Sprague 1907. Archie Sprague grandmother was Elizabeth (Ames) Rice. William Sutton was about 40 when he married the two Emma's. Makes me wonder if he had a another wife before he married them. 1/02/07

I have been searching for a Chloe Austin who was married to a John Fairfield. They had a son, Marcus who was born in 1817 in Rutland Co. VT. Have you heard of this Chloe Austin? I didn’t find her on your database and have had no luck finding them anywhere else either. They are listed on Marcus’ death certificate as his parents. I think they were born in or lived in Massachusetts before moving to Vermont. 9/2/06

I-153 Dottie Darswell-ddsdoll@cox.net
Minnie and Oscar Atkins were married about 1888 in Georgia. Family members tell me that they were known as Uncle Oscar and Aunt Minnie and Minnie was a nickname. I also heard that Minnie was the oldest daughter of John Thomas and Georgia Austin. I cannot find a record prior to 1900 showing the Austin's oldest daughter. In the 1900 census (Polk Co., GA) she is only 18 (born abt. 1882) and they already have a baby. I also found the rest of the family and all the children but "Minnie" in the Polk Co., GA census. One of John Thomas and Georgia's sons, Eugene, left home at about 16 because he did not like farming. He later married and had 3 daughters. He then started living with a Nell Irvin Darswell and had 10 children with her. I need the names of the first wife and 3 daughters, if you have it. Thank you, in advance, for any help you can provide. 8/28/06

He was originally from the Richcreek, WV. area. He worked at the paper Mill in Covington, Va and drove a taxi part time. His Mother was possibly married to a Wadkins or Watinns at his death. Any one having any information about him would be greatly appreciated. 7/14/06

I have been researching my Austin line from Sequatchie & Bledsoe Counties in Tennessee. My great great grandfather was William Austin who married Annie Jane Knight. While going back through the census I have found that in 1860 he was listed as William Farris who lived with Joseph & Elizabeth Austin. Sometime prior to the 1870 census he (and his brother Alvis) had their last name changed to Austin. I would like to communicate with anyone who can explain the Farris / Austin connection as this appears in several places in Tennessee. 7/5/06
