Lot number twelve fell to Robert Austin, but he never made settlement there so far as is | known, and comparatively few of those who drew lots ever went to Wes- terly.
1687, Sep. 6. In the tax list of inhabitants of Kings Town his name does not appear, though the names of two Austins of a generation later than Robert, are found upon the list.
The name of Robert was revived in two instances in the third generation- The positive proofs that Robert Austin was the ancestor of this family, are not found, but the belief is thought to be well founded.
