AUSTINs of SC, MS, AR & Hopkins Co., TX
What happened to the AUSTINs of Hopkins (now Delta) Co., TX?
I am not an AUSTIN descendant, so I have no info on their ancestry.Rather, I am interested in finding descendants of those AUSTINs who married into my ROBERTS family:
1. Hiram AUSTIN (b. 1836 in AL or MS), md. Martha Ann ROBERTS, 06 Dec 1857 in Hopkins Co., TX.Children:
- 11. William F. AUSTIN, 1859
- 12. George AUSTIN, 1863
- 13. Sarah A. AUSTIN, 1866
- 14. H.E. AUSTIN (male), 1869
2. Sarah Frances AUSTIN (b. 1843 in AR), md. Samuel M. ROBERTS, 10 Dec 1857 in Lamar Co., TX.Children:
- 21. William ROBERTS, 1858
- 22. Mary (Mariah) ROBERTS, 1862
3. Tempy AUSTIN (b. 1844 in AR), md. James Henry ROBERTS, 08 Apr 1860 in Hopkins Co., TX.No children.

These people likely were children of William AUSTIN (b. 1798 in SC).He was living with his wife Sarah (b. 1822 in GA) at the 1860 US census of Hopkins County.Other children in their household at that time were America (b. 1847 in AR), Eliza T. (b. 1851 in AR) and Isabella T. AUSTIN (b. 1854 in TX).
This is the same William AUSTIN recorded in Sevier Co., AR, in 1850 with wife Sarah and children: Hiram, William (b. 1840 in MS), Sarah, Tempa [sic], America, Didamus (b. 1848 in AR) and Elijah AUSTIN (b. 1850 in AR).This family may have been living in DeSoto Co., MS, at the 1840 census.

I have lost all traces of these ROBERTS-AUSTIN couples after 1870.They lived in that part of Hopkins County that became Delta County in 1871.Did they leave the area or simply die out?
