I have held and read the Moses Austin will dated 13 Sep 1806, the will was written July 4 and Samuel Doty was a witness.

At this time I have passed my research to grand children hoping they will carry on the effort. A cousin from Wyoming went to Salt Lake City and obtained the will sending it on to me. The computer I was working on crashed -I lost many of my contacts and research finds.

I traveled to Venango county, saw the Austin land at current Kenerdale, PA. Where the scrubgrass creek enters the Allegheny river. I saw original land records and survey map done by Samuel Dale the man who did much of the early surveys. James Scott brought many families to this area after being there while on military duty. You can purchase the county history ( two vol) set from the Franklin lib. You may find a digital version. Austin, doty, Taylor, Phillips, toast , mc quiston, many neighbors are in stories in these two vols.

What is your Line? I am Jonah, Moses, Aaron, Jesse, Lewis, Lemuel, Francis was my grandfather.
