Daniel Bracket Austin (b. 03 May 1800, d. 20 April 1884)
Notes for Daniel Bracket Austin:
This information was given to Audrey Getz (Argersinger), it was from Burton Johnson.
Our family was among the early settlers in MI. The earliest record goes back to Daniel and Mary Austin who lived in Maine. Daniel was born in 1773 in Maine. Polly Brackettwas born in 1780 in Maine. Died in 1840 in New York. They were married in 1795 in Maine. They were the parents of Daniel Brackett Austin born May 3, 1800. Daniel Brackett Austin as a young man found himself in New York State where he in turn found a young lady by the name of Delight Preston. This wedding took place February 28, 1821 in the village of Clarendon, New York State. Daniel died in 1884. Daniel is buried in Fair View, Dansville, Ingham Co. MI. They had a large family of sixteen children in all. Delight Austin lived to be 102 or 103 years of age. They must have come to MI early because the second child lived here and is buried in Spaulding Cemetery in Wheatfield Township. This would indicate they came here early because Wheatfield had no settlers until 1837 and the older child would have been fourteen years old at this time. If it was much later some of them would have been married off and lived in New York or some other place along Thier travels here, unless the Johnson family followed from New York.
Jan Getz went and read and took a picture of thr head stone, in 1998. I also have a picture of Daniel.
