"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.'"

Ancestry.com offers: "Austin Name Meaning - English, French, and German: from the personal name Austin, a vernacular form of Latin Augustinus, a derivative of Augustus. This was an extremely common personal name in every part of Western Europe during the Middle Ages, owing its popularity chiefly to St. Augustine of Hippo (354-430), whose influence on Christianity is generally considered to be second only to that of St. Paul. Various religious orders came to be formed following rules named in his honor, including the Austin canons, established in the 11th century, and the Austin friars, a mendicant order dating from the 13th century. The popularity of the personal name in England was further increased by the fact that it was borne by St. Augustine of Canterbury (died c. 605), an Italian Benedictine monk known as the Apostle of the English, who brought Christianity to England in 597 and founded the see of Canterbury. German: from a reduced form of the personal name Augustin."

[3764] [Line from "The Plantagenet Ancestry," W.H.Turton (Balt.: Gen. Pub. Co., 1968), p. 88, 100:] Gilbert "accompanied his uncle [William the Conqueror] into England, and participating in the triumph of Hastings, obtained a grant of the lands of a Danish proprietor, named Tour, with numerous other lordships. This Gilbert happened to be in York, anno 1069, and had a narrow escape, when the Danes, in great force on behalf of Edgar Etheling, entered the mouth of the Humber, and marching upon that city, committed lamentable destruction by fire and sword, there being more than 3,000 Normans slain. Like most of the great lords of his time, Gilbert de Gant disgorged a part of the spoil which he had siezed to the churches, and amongst other acts of piety restored Bardney Abbey, co. Lincoln, which had been utterly destroyed many years before by the pagan Danes, Inquar and Hubba." - Burke's "Dormant and Extinct Peerages," 1883, p. 227. Gilbert is "son of Baldwin, Earl of Flanders, by Maud, sister of William the Conqueror". [An alternate ancestry is given elsewhere in this database. Also see "Falaise Roll" (Baltimore: Gen. Pub.

Junius' obituary:
The news that Dr. J.R. Flickinger, principal of Central State Normal School, Lock Haven, Pa. had died early Saturday morning was received with crushing effect. Wilst it was known that he was seriously ill yet it was confidently believed that he would recover and assume his wanted duties. Three weeks before his death, at the completion of a recitation period, he entered his office and told the secretary he was suffering great pain and would retire to his room. He never left it alive. His condition grew gradually worse and latterly so alsrming that a speciatist from Philadelphia was summoned but witout avail, and after intense suffering he passed to the great beyond acute indigestion, developing finally into gastritis, was the cause of death.
J.R. Flickinger was the son of the late John and Elizabeth (Bixler) Flickinger, and was born near Bixler's Mill, in Sandy Hill District this county. October 19, 1854 and at his death were aged 57 years, 8 months, and 28 days. His paternal ancestors were of twins origin and came to this country in 1761. His grandfather, Henry Flickinger, came to Perry County from Lancaster County in 1812.
The subject of this sketch in his youth attended the schools of the neighborhood, and showing an apttiude for learning, entered Bloomfield Acadamy and prepared for Prinston College, from which institution he graduated in 1877. He became principal of the Bloomfield Acadamy in 1877 at the Spring term, returning to Prinston to received his degree in June, and was at the head of the Acadamy until 1881, when he was elected County Superintendent. He refused re-election and brgan the study of law in Honorable Charles S. Smiley's office and was admitted to pratice at the August term of 1885. He was declared a member of the Legislature in the fall of 1885, and declined to become a canidate for reelection, and went to Colorado, and was Speaker of the House during one of the most eciting sessions the Centennial State has ever witnessed. Returning east in 1893 he was called to the chair of History in West Chester State Normal School, which he filled for over two years, when he was elected principal of the State Normal School at Ellenboro, Pa. where he remained for three years. Then he was called to the principalship of Central State Normal School at Lock Haven, Pa. which position he occupied until his death.

He wrote the book," The Susquehanna and Juniata Valleys." He also authoried a work on Civil Government, a texbook used in many institutions.
Dr. Flickinger was joined in Wedlock with Carrie M. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Rice of this place. She with one daughter, Miss Jane, survives the deceased. Also by two brothers, Jacob Flickinger of Bixler, and E.A., Flickinger living on the old homestead, and one sister, Mrs. J.L. Evenger, of Loysville.

William Heim Groninger was a son of Jacob and Sidney (Wilson) Groninger. He was born April 2, 1842 in Perrysville [Port Royal] PA. He married Catherine E. Ritzman and they had six children.
In Juniata County, William H. Groninger served twenty-three years as a teacher of public school, including two years in Patterson (Mifflin) and three in Port Royal. He also served three years as a member of the Board of County Commissioners, 1876-1878; three years as clerk of the court, and six years as county surveyor. During this period of official service he prepared the draughts for all the new bridges of the county, including the ten that replaced those that were lost, at the time of the Johnstown flood, May 31, 1889.
FORMING CAVE AND CAVERN ASSOCIATION
An association has been formed by Hon. John Koons, Dr. G. M. Graham and William H. Groninger, Esq., under the title of Tuscarora Cavern and Cave Association, and active operations have been commenced by these gentlemen for the exploration of a cave which is firmly believed to exist on he land of Hon. John Koons at a point a short distance west of his residence, and quite near to the public thoroughfare known as the "ridge road" leading from Port Royal to Waterloo, about 1 1/2 miles southwest of Port Royal. The work of exploration was commenced Monday of this week by a force of workmen and excitement is running wild over the adventure. The place is visited daily by a great throng of people and it is confidently expected by the projectors of this enterprise to develop ere long a second Luras cavern. The many and favorable indications of a cavern existing in that vicinity as well as at other points along the ridge which starts on the land of Mr. Koons and terminates at a point a short distance east of the residence of John F. Nourse, Esq., in Spruce Hill township, four miles in length. Many persons firmly believe that the earth under the ridge is hollow, predicating their beliefs on facts which have come under their own observation. A number of these facts have been related in our hearing, and they are most assuring as well as thrilling in their character, and fully warrants these projectors in indulging in the roost sanguine expectation. (THE PORT ROYAL TIMES - September 10, 1885)
In 1900 William moved to Des Lacs, North Dakota, and settled on a farm. Once settled there, he soon prevailed on three of his children to relinquish their chosen occupations in the East, and become independent farmers in Dakota. By 1923 the family owned 2800 acres in North Dakota.
Information from the Port Royal 200th Anniversary website and the Pennsylvania Gravestones website. He is also listed on the tombstone of his wife who is buried in the Old Church Hill Cemetery in Juniata County, Pennsylvania. It lists his complete birth and death dates of birth: 2 Apr 1842 & death: 26 Nov 1934.
