[23183] "The Story of Ambrose Austen and Family: From Kent, England to Jeromesville, Ohio and Pine Town, Pennsylvania," in Austin Families Association of America newsletter, Fall 2004, p. 4: "Ambrose Austen, wife Susannah Beard, and five of nine children, including Charles and his wife Sarah, emigrated to Ohio and Pennsylvania in 1821/22 from Kent, England. Ambrose was born in 1757. It seems he was a Baptist Minister and served in Surrey, Dorset and Kent, a hop grower at Sevenoaks and probably near Marden as well, and possibly a sheep farmer near Enfield in Middlesex prior to his emigration. His mother is not known but his father was Thomas. From Thomas will it is known that there was a sister Sarah, who married a Thomas Clark, and a brother William. Thomas Austen married a second time, to Mary Martin and they had Mary and John. There was also a nephew, John of Penshurst. In 1779 Ambrose married Susannah Beard of Rottingdean in Sussex. She was the daughter of Nathaniel Beard and Mary, the fifth of nine children. The Beards were a well established family of Rottingdean and prominent members of the Society of Friends. It is not known how they met. Ambrose and Susans first child, Charles, was born in 1785; then came Nathaniel, Henry, Susannah, Mary, John, Charlotte, Ambrose and Joseph. Family histories suggest that at some time Ambrose purchased Charles a commission in the navy or army, but no confirmation has been found. Charles married Sarah Pearce on 21 June 1813 at St. Marylebone in a double wedding ceremony in which his sister Susan married Sarahs brother, Richard Pearce. Charles and Sarah, Richard and Susannah emigrated to Pine Township, Pennsylvania, north of Pittsburgh where they took up land on opposite sides of Pine Creek. Richard established a grain mill and Charles a cattle and sheep farm. Ambrose and the rest of the family went to Jeromesville, Ohio where Ambrose and at least John had property. It appears that Johns property at Austinville renamed Funk, was a grant, (perhaps for military service). He married Susan Newman in 1827 and had 11 children and died in 1866, aged 72. The house was passed to son Joseph who sold it prior to his moving to Cleveland in the late 1880s. At his death in 1743 Ambrose had a number of properties, including a house in Jeromesville which he willed to his daughter Charlotte who had married Sparkes Bird. He was a nephew of General Beall with whom he obtained employment in 1816 on his farm which occupied most of what became Wooster. He also became acquainted with John Driskel a notorious leader of desperados in Green township involved in horse-stealing, arson and house-breaking. It was said that the boldness of their crimes created terror wherever they appeared.
