1880 Federal Census Record showing G.H. Austin as father of A.W.A. (Anderson William Austin
( for the first 20 or so years of his life our pa-pa William Anderson Austin sometimes went by Anderson William Austin instead of William Anderson Austin), there is no census records showing George H. Austin’s name spelled out and William Anderson Austin’s name spelled out but we have family knowledge that George H. Austin of Lineville, Clay County, Alabama was pa-pa’s father
(Randolph, Clay, and Chambers Counties in Alabama had fires that burned the courthouses and the records that were in them about 1897, so it is hard to find information there.)

The Austins
This is the family coat of arms shown here and in James W. Austin’s Book
Captain Nathaniel Austin Sr was born in 1720 in York, England.
His Father: John Austin
His Mother: Henrietta
He married Mary Manning in England in 1742. They had children:
Walter Manning (Pestle Watt) Austin born 1745 in England
Nathaniel Austin Jr born 1743 in London, England (our ancestor)
Thompson Austin born 1747 in England
Capt Nathaniel Austin Sr. traveled with his wife, Mary, and 3 sons from London, England to Virginia between 1747 and 1750, they landed in America around Surry, Virginia and had sons
John Edward born 1750 in Virginia
George born 1751
Benjamin born 1752
Jesse born 1753
Mary Manning Austin died in Louisa County, VA in 1753. Nathaniel Sr. then married a handsome blonde woman named Agnes Dickinson in Saint Martins Parish, Virginia in 1754 and they had 3 sons
James Dickinson Austin born 1755
Francis born 1757
William Austin born 3-27-1759
Nathaniel Sr. was appointed High Constable in Virginia under King George III of England and served in
Virginia for almost 10 years. Nathaniel Sr. was given a grant of land by King George containing 100 acres of land in Berkeley County, South Carolina on 5-2-1770, he was also given a grant of 500 acres located in Ninety-Six district (in both Laurens and Greenville Counties) on 2-19-1791.
In May of 1761 Nathaniel Sr and his family traveled to the area that is now Greenville County, South Carolina (in Indian country, not a part of South Carolina yet) and had a daughter
Mary born 1764 Greenville County South Carolina
and started building a plantation in the midst of Cherokee Indian country.
(There are 2 different stories about the ages and names of Nathaniel Sr’s children which are included in this book, but I think the version I have recorded above is probably the most correct. One account has Nathaniel having 2 sons younger than Mary, Robert and Samuel, but then they would have been too young to be fighting in the revolutionary war, I also wonder if maybe the names Robert and Samuel are middle names or first names that go with the names above, or if they are grandchildren of Nathaniel Sr. Since Agnes’s headstone states she is his second wife, I think the version with Mary Manning coming here as his first wife is probably correct. So, this is the only one that makes sense to me. But since the other versions are included you can decide for yourself.)
