In reviewing the will of Elizabeth Austin, wife and widow of Drury Austin, it appears that a "Hellena Majeur" witnessed her will.I am inclined to think that Elizabeth Austin and Hellena were sisters, one married an Austin, the other married a Major.This explains the connection between these two families.
Nathan Austin, who witnessed Drury Austin's will, could have been a son of one of Drury's brothers, William or Bart, Jr., and Nathaniel Majors could have been the father of the John Majors who accompanied Nathan (Nathaniel) Austin to Tennessee.
The important connection, however, being through Drury's wife Elizabeth and Nathaniel Majors' wife, Hellena.
