I don't have exactly what you are looking for but I do know that John's nephew was James Culpepper Austin.James' father was William Alexander Austin, his mother Nellie.I also know that Levinia Hamilton was murdered by two of her slaves in 1863. John E. was shot in the mouth at the battle of Fredericksburg.
The history of Levinia's murder was chronicled (and reprinted several times) in the Charlotte observer.Her murder resulted in the last public execution by hanging in the state of North Carolina.
