Aug. 21, 2015-I did some research on T. H. Austin. I believe this is Thomas Henry Austin who was born April 26, 1784, Ninety-Six, Greenwood, South Carolina and died March 11, 1851 in Dekalb County, Georgia. He was the son of Sgt. Nathaniel Austin, Jr. and Sara Ann Anderson Austin.
On Oct. 1804, T.H. Austin married Susannah "Susan" Welch in Greenville, Greenvile District, South Carolina.
The names of the children of Thomas and Susan Austin are John Cooper, Nancy C., William Allen, Mary Ann "Polly" (Mrs. Joel Cornelius Atkins, Sr.) and Dr. Nathaniel Hawkins Austin.
I discovered why Thomas Henry Austin was buried in the Isaac Towers Family Cemetery. Isaac Towers wife was an Atkins. T.H. Austin's daughter, Mary Ann "Polly' married Joel Cornelius Atkins, Sr. There is a Thomas Atkins/ Akins that witnessed Isaac Towers will in 1851 and died intestate in 1871. This could be Isaac Tower's brother- in- law. Joel C. Atkins, Sr. could be another brother or nephew of Elizabeth Atkins Towers.
The Hairston family connection lies with the family line of Joel Cornelius Atkins, Sr. and Mary Ann "Polly" Austin Atkins. Their son, Rev. James A. Austin married Lona P. Greene, daughter of Sarah Hairston Greene who was the daughter of Thomas Oscar Hairston, brother to William Judge Hairston.
Note: T.H. Austin 1851 rough field stone, crudely inscribed. This info was recorded Jan. 2, 1932 by Franklin Garrett, Atlanta's historian, in his cemetery records.
