First of all - I've tagged this pgm because even though I am unsure if he appears in Anderson's Great Migration he is contemporaneous to those immigrants. It is also tagged Global Reunion because there seems to be a link to the Austin families of Portage County, Ohio who are linked into that project.
Anyway, this profile is mostly sourceless aside from Ancestry trees. The Austin Family Association of America has some information on him (http://www.afaoa.org/db_files/Richard_Austin_MA/Individuals/I111.html), and he has a Wikipedia article.
