Rubyyour E.Mail address bouncing back my letter so here is my reply.
Hello Ruby,
Not much help I am afraid . If you had asked about the English Austs I could have probably been able to help as I have linked up most of the Austs families there.
Most of the American Austs would appear to have roots in the Germany area of Europe. I have no further information.
The earliest mention in England is for a William Aust, born about 1400; a Benedictine Monk, in Malmesbury Abbey, Wiltshire.
I am aware of several going to America from England;-
George 1825, left, leaving his wife behind, about 1851.
James 1803, about 1832
George Butler 1800 ,between 1830 and 1836
Obadiah 1836, after 1851
Abijah1843, after 1851
Uriah 1859, after 1885
All ofthese are too late for your Calvin, a Christian name not appearing in English Aust records.
Can you confirm Tn as Tennessee....for the foreigners ?
I wonder where you picked up my E.Mail address from ?
