John Austin removed from Brunswick in 1784 and settled on the west side of the river, opposite the center of the town. He was the first sexton in the town, in which capacity he served for many years. He was a soldier in the French War of 1755, was at the taking of Quebec under Gen. Wolf, and also served as a soldier in the Revolutionary War. Mrs. Austin was a native of Cape Ann, and was generally known to the first settlers on the Sandy River as a Doctress, in which capacity she rendered the inhabitants essential service for many years.
