Austin came to America in the ship "Mary Anne," in 1637, with his wife and at least three children. He was doubtless the ancestor of all of the name in this country. He lived at Salem two or three years, and at Dedham till 1649. From there he moved to Wenham, which he made his permanent home. It is on record at Wenham that he took letters of dismissal from the church in Dedham, 14th of 5th mo. 1649, when "Brother and sister Kilham passed the Tryall, and next Lord's Day were taken into covenant." In 1653, when the pastor, Rev. John Fiske, left Wenham and settled at Chelmsford, Austin Kilham and six other heads of families planned to go with him; but for some unexplained reason, Austin and one other changed plans, and remained at Wenham.648, v56p344 |
