Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Mary WEST was born 29 Jun 1711, North Kingstown, RI; died Aft 16 Jul 1763.

    Notes:

    Some genealogies have her name as Mary Hunt. The Mayflower Society identifies her as Mary West, descendant of Francis West & Susanna Soule. (see notes below)

    Mary West b. NK 29 June 1711, living there on 16 July 1763. She mar NK 22 Aug 1731 Edmund Austin, a mariner. In 1741 Mary Austin sold land to William Sweet, "it being in full for right of dower in the land of my father . . . West, dec." It is to be noted that the only landowner in NK surnamed West and dying before 1741 leaving undivided land was Francis West. On 17 July 1763 she deeded to son James a house lot. Son James Austin had his birth re-recorded on 17 March 1761 but the last digit could not be read. A record in the DAR files has his birth year as 1739. Other than the marriage records and the incomplete birth record of his son, we have found no other records of Edmund Austin. We have found no probate or distribution of Mary Austin's estate. The burned records [at North Kingstown Town Hall] give only fragments of the record for this family. (notes supplied by Shirley M. Greene)

    Mary married Edmund AUSTIN 22 Aug 1731, Kingston, Washington Co., RI. Edmund was born Between 1700 and 1710; died Between 1738 and 1741, At sea. [Group Sheet]

  1. 2.  James AUSTIN Descendancy chart to this point (1.Mary1) was born Between 14 Jun 1734 and 1739, North Kingstown, Washington Co., RI; died 21 Jun 1826, North Kingstown, Washington Co., RI; was buried , Austin Burial Ground, Hunt's River, North Kingstown, RI.

    Notes:

    In the record of his birth, the last digit was burned off, so his exact birth year is not known. DAR files have it as 1739.

    The gravestone says he died in his 84th year.

    Shirley Greene's notes (email) say he left over 100 descendants (from obit in Prov Journal?).

    "The Austin family owned large farms both east and west of the Post Road. The first Austin, James, was in North Kingstown in the early 1730s. His old homestead stood east of the Post Road opposite Frenchtown Road, on the slope overlooking the Hunt River north of where Grossman's now stands. His great grandson, Fones, occupied it for many years. It was torn down in the mid-1920s having become derelict and a haven for tramps. Austin Road and Austin Farm Bridge on the Post Road are named for the several farms owned by successive generations of Austins." (source: "Graveyards of North Kingstown, Rhode Island" by Althea H. McAleer, Beatrix Hoggius, and Deby Jecoy Nunes; 1992.)

    Notes:

    I have a photocopy of the original death entry from the North Kingstown Archives.

    Samuel Ward Austin, a prosperous farmer, owned property in North Kingstown near the well-known landmark called "Devil's Foot." Although he himself was a member of the Six-Principal Baptist Church on Stony Lane, he deeded the northern corner of his land, located on Post Road between Wickford and East Greenwich, to the Quidnessett Church Society in 1841. Its church was dedicated there August 11, 1842. A new church building, called the Quidnessett Baptist Church, now occupies the site. After Samuel's death, his wife Mary (Mitchel) Austin donated an additional piece of land in 1869 for stables to be built next to the church, for horses and carriages.

    This church fellowship, some of whom may be descended from the original congregation, is where I was baptized and brought up, and is where my parents were still active members until they died in 2007 and 2010. I have old negative photocopies of sections of the original deeds, as well as a lawyer's transcript of them dating from the 1950s or thereabouts.

    In the 1850 Federal Census, Samuel & Mary Austin, ages 71 & 69, are living at North Kingstown, RI. Wilth them are: Julia A. Austin 42, Hannah E. Thurber 25, and Samuel Austin 23; these are three of their children.

    In the 1860 Federal Census, Samuel & Mary Austin, ages 80 & 77, are living at North Kingstown, RI. With them are two of their adult children, Samuel W., 33, and Julia A., 52.

    I believe Samuel Ward Austin was given his first and middle names in honor of Samuel Ward (1725-1776), a Rhode Island political leader in the days preceding the Revolutionary War. This leader was one of the founders of Rhode Island's two-party system, said to be the very first in America. The merchants and farmers of southern Rhode Island were led by Samuel Ward in their political battles against the politicians and businessmen from the Providence area, who were led by Stephen Hopkins. Ward was elected as governor in 1762, and again at least twice after that. He and Hopkins served together representing Rhode Island in the 1775-1776 Continental Congress in Philadelphia, where Ward was a committee leader, and was instrumental in appointing George Washington as general of the colonial army. In March 1776 he suddenly became ill with smallpox and died.

    Since Samuel Ward Austin was born three years later, in the midst of this struggle to birth a new nation, it is likely that he was named after this Rhode Island hero.

    Apparently other parents named their sons after this respected leader also. During the 1840s, Rhode Island's governor was Samuel Ward King, who headed a state faction that supported the voting power of landowners, opposing Thomas Wilson Dorr's proposal to institute a new state constitution which would grant voting rights to all free adult males (regardless of whether or not they were property owners), in recognition of the increased urbanization of the state. Dorr's Rebellion went down in defeat, but popular citizen support led to the drafting of a new state constitution in 1842. However, even in this document, all cities and towns -- regardless of population, were granted one senator each for representation in the state Senate; this provision afforded Senate control to the rural towns. I wonder what Samuel Ward Austin, as a substantial property owner and farmer, thought of all this?

    From The Narragansett Historical Register, Volume II, July 1883, No. 2; Historical Sketch of the Quidnessett Baptist Church, North Kingstown, RI, pp 81-97
    "Another matter, more local in its influence, claimed also the attention of the church at this time. Their house of worship had long been too small for their use. It also was not sufficiently central in its location as to be adapted to the best development of the religious interests of the field. It was decided, therefore, to build anew. Samuel Austin, a member of a neighboring Six Principle Baptist church, gave the building site, situated on the post-road from Wickford to East Greenwich, about equal distance from each village, and near the three manufacturing villages of the Quidnesset field. Possibly no site could have been selected more central, or better adapted to the wants of the Quidnesset people than this. Funds were raised by subscription on the field itself to build the new meeting-house, which was dedicated Thursday, Aug. 11, 1842, free from debt. The dedication sermon was preached by Rev. John Dowling, of Providence, from the text, Haggai ii.,7: 'And I will fill this house with glory, saith the Lord of hosts.' "

    Notes:

    From burials at St. Michael's, Bristol, RI: Mrs. Harriet N. Chafee, 29 July 1856.

    Her death record at Bristol names her as Harriet N. Austin, and identifies her father as Samuel Austin. Neither her married name nor her mother are mentioned. This is probably a clerk's oversight or due to the confusion of the informant.

    Harriet Newell Austin was named after a young American missionary who died in her first year of service, at age 19. She died of consumption at Isle of France, after giving birth prematurely, in 1812. Many girls were named after her.
