New Jersey Austins
I am trying to make connections with any Austin researchers tracing the family in New Jersey.Specifically, my ancestor, James Austin (1760-18??), was born somewhere in Ireland and ended up in the New Jersey Volunteers regiment, later combined with the British Legion, during the American Revolution.James settled in Nova Scotia after the War, but may have left family in the New Jersey region. I'd love to hear from anyone with knowledge on this family, Austins in NJ or Ireland.Also, are there any records of ships bringing Irish immigrants to NJ during the 1760-1780 period?
Thanks, Andrew.
