  • Notes 
    • The History of Washington and Kent Counties, p. 1229, states that James' father (Edmund) was lost at sea. His ancestry has not been determined, although it is surmised that he is very likely a descendant of Robert Austin of Kingston, RI. Edmund's descendants certainly lived in the southern RI area, particularly North Kingstown.

      Edmund's year of death is uncertain. If indeed his son James was born in 1739, which is not known for sure (last digit is burned off in the town records), then presumably Edmund was living at least as late as 1738. He probably was deceased by 1741 when his wife Mary sold land to William Sweet. Other than his marriage information and the incomplete birth record for his son James, no other record of his life has ever been found.

      The following notes are from the web site www.afaoa.org (Austin Family Association of America):
      "This is one of the families that EAM [Edith Austin Moore] included in the Robert Austin of Kingstown, RI book. She thought that it had a connection to the Robert Austin family but could not find documentation to prove it. I think that it could be connected to the family as son of Edward E. &______ Cromb with brothers Edward & John. A second possibility is that he is Edward son of Edward E. and was recorded as Edmund on the birth of his son James. (ams 8/10/2008 [Arthur M. Sikes, Jr.])

      To summarize, our Edmund could be a son of Edward E. Austin.

      "CHILDREN: North Kingston birth records have children from 1730's, only one of them is named James, the rest just have birth dates.
