Francis Austin, founder of the family, came over to West Jersey from England some time before December 24, 1688, when he bought fifty acres on Birch Creek from John Antram. This as yet the first Austin record that has come to light. May 3, 1689, Francis bought another fifty acres adjoining his first lot from Percival Towle, and Nov. 1, 1694, he sold the entire one hundred acres to Thomas Scattergood Jr. In all of these deeds, he styled as a resident of Burlington and a carpenter. Four years previous to the sale of this land, Francis Austin had bought another one hundred acres of Symon Charles, Apr. 2, 1690, and this he in turn sold Jan. 2, 1965, to George Porter; as about a month previously, Dec. 10 1694, he had purchased from Henry and Mary Grugg and Thomas and Abigail Raper a large farm of three hundred and fifty acres in Evesham Twp., on which he finally made his home and spent the remainder of his life. About a year later he made his final acquisition of land by buying from Thomas Wilkins, whose land adjoined his own, a small tract of three acres which logically went with his own property. He emigrated to this counrty as a young man, accompanied by his sister, Elizabeth Austin, who, in 1692 mar. Thomas Haines, son of Richard and Margaret Haines, the emigrants. His will, which is undated, was proven Jul. 30, 1723, the inventory of his personal estate, amounting to L280, having been made by John Sharp and Thomas Wilkins, the preceding day.
