Austin Family History
This famous surname derives originally from the Roman (Latin) "Augustine", and is the medieval vernacular form, being first recorded as a surname in the 13th Century (see below). The first Archbishop of Canterbury was St. Augustine, who died in 605 A.D., however, the name totally lost popularity until the 12th Century, when, during the Christian revival period, also associated with the Crusades, the religious order known as "The Austin Canons" was established. The present name is probably habitational in origin, as the order was celibate, and referred to people who worked at the various properties owned by the order. As the popularity of the "Austin" order spread, the name became baptismal in its own right...Select Audience

Austin
I have trying to pin down where in Ireland my Austin ancestor came from. What I know is that his name was James Austin, born 1760 in Ireland. He came to North America, perhaps NY, NJ, or Penn. and ended up fighting in the American Revolution on the British side. At the end of the war he settled in northern Nova Scotia, where the family has been ever since. The family was Presbyterian, so it makes me think they were from one of the northern Irish counties, but I have not been able to find a shred of evidence. Would love to hear more from anyone with any knowledge on Irish Austin's.
