I am researching the Austin family tree. My great, great grandfather was Simeon Austin; born 10-14-1818 in Chataugua, Seneca County, New York. His wife was Betsey Maria Whitten or Whittier, born in Chatauqua County, New York on January 29, 1826. Her mother Underwood was from Scotland. Austin's father was Freeman Austin born March 26, 1770, Rhode Island, married Catherine Van Wagenen born in New York in 1780. Freeman's father was Thomas Austin born in 1745 in Mass. or Rhode Island, in the community of Falmouth or Barnstable, and married Mary Dawley who was born about 1745. Who was the next Austin; the father of Thomas Austin?
