My friend, i was told by my grandmother that the name O'Steen was really Austine, but was changed later on.It is originally Irish, but we where kicked out of Ireland because one of our relatives who was a catholic married a prodistant, which wasnt allowed.So we migrated over to American after that.Arriving somewhere up north, we ended up coming down to the south, during the Rev. War, we where the farmers down here, and ended up living down here, (Fl. Ga. etc.)
Thats all i know.Hoped it helped.
