book says he died at 41 but that makes it 1755, not 1753. The math doesn't work.
86. Peter G. (was Looney) Luna Jr.

From Wayne Austin:
Last sunday I visited the site of the Drewy and Harris Austin homeplace drawn
up by Nancy Austin Hall of Dallas TX. You know the map I sent you. I took
pictures of
the area. It is just inside the south Moore County line as you trace up
Mullberry Creek on a map. Moore County was a part of Lincoln County at the
time Drewy lived there in the 1820s. The map shows the West Fork of Mulberry
Creek and Mullberry Creek junction as the home of Drewy Austin and his sons
William Phillip (Willis) and Harris Austin. I believe I have located their
home sites. Had my wife along for the ride and she was too impatient to allow
me to interview any of the locals to see if anyone know of any old cemeteries
that might have their stones. There is a road I believe that splits the area
between Drewy & Harris's place. It is now called Knox Lane. It turns off east
from Hwy 129. I made pictures but they don't show much due to the trees and
distance from the road. This is a quaint little valley following the Mulberry
Creek and West Fork nestled between the hills with plenty of rich farm land
and sites high enough from the flood plain to be ideal for our pioneering
early settlers. Best I can recall from my history Davy Crockett lived for a
time there also. Though the source said that Mulberry Creek merged into Duck
River. It actually flows south into the Elk River. I noticed the main road
went thru there going from Shelbyville TN to Fayettteville, TN. on a map I
saw of Tennessee during 1820.-------------------------------------------------------
not sure if died 1821 or 1833
