2. Samuel AUSTIN Jr
was born on 12 Jan 1818 in Yancey County NC. He died on 12 Mar 1893 in Yancey
County NC. He served The Confederacy during the Civil War from 1 Oct 1864 to 8 Aug 65 in Co C 16th

3. Mahala Caroline BANKS (daughter of Andrew BANKS and Ruth TURNER)was born on 30 Nov 1823. She died on 26 Aug 1895 in Yancey County NC.
"A Yancey County death certificate for Andrew T. Austin lists
his father as Samuel Austin and the mother as Caroline Edney.
However, it is not possible that Caroline Edney, daughter of
Calvin Edney and Lucinda Wilson, could have been his mother, as
Andrew and Caroline were born within a year of each other.
Andrew Austin's mother was Caroline Banks, sister of Mariah
Narcissus Banks Austin. The Banks, Edney and Austin families of
Yancey County were closely related through marriage."
