RE: Looking for Austin Family

Dear William Austin,



My name is John Clinard.  I’m helping my wife, Lillian Austin Clinard, find her family in E TN.



We see from the phone book that there are many Austins living in Hamblen Co. today, your being one of them. Also, we know that William P. is a family given name.

My wife, Lillian Austin, is an Austin from Greene Co. TN.  She is a descendant of Archibald Austin (1767-1866) who brought the family to E. TN from Pittsylvania Co. VA. We are seeking other male Austins that descend from this Archibald.

This Archibald had a son also named Archibald, II (1801-1850), a son named Joseph (1796 - ?), a son named  William (1798-1852), and a son named Clisbe (1802-1883).  My wife descends from Clisbe. We know all about the Clisbe branch. We know little of the families of the other three sons. They possibly stayed in E. TN (Jefferson and/or Hamblen Cos.) and possibly have descendants who still live in E TN. We are hoping that you are one of these descendants.

We know that a William P Austin descended from Archibald as follows:

Archibald (1767-1866) had a son
Archibald, Jr. (1801-~1850) who had a son
William (1830-1903) who had a son
Jacob E (1883-~1946) who had a son
E Woodrow (1921-?) who lived in Hamblen Co., perhaps still alive (?) who may have a son
William P (1957? - ), and several generations lived on the Austin Farm.

Can you help us?  Is this your line?
