For 30 years I have known that my Lucinda Austin (Mar 5 1819 - Mar 19 1896)
was the daughter of David & Morning Austin. Now doubts are rising. My Lucinda
was married to John S. Kay on Nov 6, 1837 in Harrison Co., and signing for
her was John Eslinger, consort of her mother, Frances Eslinger. I find
another Harrison County marriage record of Frances Austin marrying Casper
Eslinger on Dec 31, 1826. So far I have been unable to locate a death record
for my Lucinda that hopefully lists the names of her parents, though I am
sure of date of her death.
My current querys: Who was Frances Austin's first husband? Does anyone know
anything about Frances Austin Eslinger - or any Eslingers in Harrison County
in 1820's.
There were two Austin families in Harrison Co. on 1820 census. David Austin &
George Austin. George does not appear on census after 1820. Anyone know what
happened to George Austin?
This is a search just beginning for me. Any help will be appreciated.
