Hi, I think there must be an overlap of Austins in both our families. I'm looking for the parents of Hannah Austin, born in MI in 1829.She married a Joseph Oates (possibly born in NY) and had 6 children. (When Mr. Oates died she married Charles Heaton and had my g-grandmother Mary Heaton.)The rumor is that Mr. Oates was a shipbuilder, perhaps with Hannah's father, and they named their vessel the 'Seneca'.this is too much of a coincidence!
I am unable to find any info regarding Hannah's parents but someone in the Oates family told me they had heard the name, 'Harriett' mentioned. If any of this sounds familiar, can you please point me in the right direction? thanks, joanne
