BREAKING NEWS!! Scot Austin sent the info on 5 July 2011 that contained the results shown in the link indicated below. Y-Chromosome DNA testing has definitely determined the ancestral line that Samuel Austin needs to be attached. He is from the CT line and NOT the VA lines as so many others report and early documents in NB also report.
The following link shows the DNA results of the CT line that are Haplogroup I1 shown at the top of the image and those that are R1b1 at the bottom that are from the lineage that people have incorrectly connected Samuel Austin from NB.
Y-Chromosome DNA Profile results.

Samuel John Austin was a Loyalist from Virginia, the only(two were) Loyalist of seven brothers. He was enrolled for the journey in Richard Squires' Militia company (Bell, p26) and travelled on the 'Grace, unit 34' to Saint John, NB with the July 1783 Fleet(Bell, p25). The sailing and victualling records state that his household numbered two persons, an adult male and an adult female( Bell, p177). It is natural to assume that the 'adult female' was Samuel J. Austin's wife and since no children were recorded, that they had not been married long. This must have been a different wife than Eve Gabel/Goebel that he married Nov 23, 1788 at Gagetown, NB.
"Early Loyalist,Saint John", D. G. Bell, New Ireland Press, 1983, ISBN 0-9690215-8-5
The Grantbook Database for NB shows that Samuel Austin and David Goebel both registered for 200 acres of land at Maquapit Lake, Sunbury County, on 1786/06/07. Samuel Austin also registered for 500 acres of land in 1783/03/09 in Waterborough, Queens County. See PANB for information. French Lake, Maquapit Lake, and Douglas Harbour, NB are all in close proximity to each other.

***********
Previously had the following connection: (see Breaking News at the start of the notes for proof)
Confirmation of this connection of Samuel Austin to the family of William Austin and Elizabeth Green was obtained from Mr. Hal Steiner, Las Vegas, NV( hsteiner@anv.net).
This connection to William and Elizabeth (Green) Austin would indicate the wrong DOB since Elizabeth (Green) Austin supposedly died bef. 1859 and Samuel John Austin was born 1762-1763. Needs more research(AEK)
Mr. Steiner quotes "Supposedly he(Samuel) swore an oath to the Crown and rather than fight he moved to Canada."
This confirmation is not absolute proof. This connection now appears to be wrong as further information has become available. Samuel married Mary Conner: children have now been found for this marriage which proves that this is NOT the correct Samuel.
***********
A more recent connection:
Information received from a Scot Austin has information from the Edith Austin Moore book that indicates Samuel is a descendant of John Austin and Elizabeth Hurley from New London and Stamford, CT.
Link to this family.
Ancestors emigrated from England in 1647.
***********
The following is a report on the possible families of Samuel John Austin, Sr.

Some years ago Hal Steiner contacted me about Samuel Austin and thought that he had the family that Samuel came from. I still have all of these emails and can go back to them if needed.
I made the connection as per Hal Steiner's suggestions and worked with many different people trying to fill in the gaps on the tree only to find that the info that Hal had given was for a different Samuel Austin as the one that he had was having children in the USA well after the Samuel that arrived in New Brunswick.
I looked at the data on the Austin Association of America and found that Hal had changed the dates on the NB Samuel to make them fit with what he needed. Upon seeing this, I remove Samuel Austin from that connection.
About 2 years ago, I received an email from another person who was a descendant of an Austin line and he had been looking at the Austin names that I had in my database and a couple things caught his eye. The main one was that the Samuel Austin from NB had a son by the name of David Hurley Austin and his Austin line also had a Samuel Austin who was a Tory (traitor according to US Revolutionary war.) left and went to NS(NB was part of NS at that time). The only problem with this connection was that the Samuel was 13-14 years older then the Samuel that we have for NB. What proof we need here is "HOW OLD WAS SAMUEL AUSTIN WHEN HE DIED" I'll bet the old boy was 10+ years older then what he let on. Many of the Loyalist soldiers when they married after the Rev. War in 1783 were 20 or more older then their wives and some even lied about their ages. Have seen this in many cases with the Loyalists in Charlotte Co., NB
The other thing that has caused problems with this Austin connection was that there were two Samuel Austin's listed as Loyalists, in the book "Loyalists of New Brunswick" by Esther Clark Wright, p257
Samuel (1) tailor, from CT, first received Lot P1295 the went to LR(Long Reach) in Kings Co., NB
Samuel (2) carpenter, from VA, went to French Lake which was Queens Co., NB
Robert Fellows has articles on the Samuel (2) from VA was one of 7 brothers and had the VA connection and the story goes on from there. NOTE in the listing of the CT Austin line that this one is also 7 sons.!!!!
While I was searching the land claims of Samuel in Queens Co. it was stated that he gave up his land claim in Kings Co for the one in Queens Co. which made it appear that these two Samuel Austin men were actually one and the same. The word tailor for Samuel (1) does not mean one who works with cloth as most would think but might be one who works with wood which would make the two men and their occupations much closer together.
The Austin line that we have in NB has the following children:

As far as I am concerned the case is still open until we can find a few more answers that prove that Samuel John Austin, Sr. is connected to the VA or the CT line.(This has now been resolved as of June 2011 when a descendant of Samuel John Austin had his Y-Chromosone DNA tested and it has a match of 36/37 with that of a descendant of John Austin, b 8 Aug 1754, shown in the list above) (see Breaking News at the start of the notes for proof)
All of the VA connections seem to be based on pure speculations and absolutedly no proof of lineage names etc while the CT connection has many of the connections via names etc. The VA line was not a Loyalist but stayed in the USA while the CT connections was a Loyalist, it is just the dob of 16 June 1749 vs 1762-1763 that gives an error of 12-14 years difference in ages of the two men.
The DNA results do not prove the two Samuel's( NB one and the one born 16 June 1749) are one and the same person but it does prove that the New Brunswick Samuel Austin is from the same lineage as that of John Austin, b ca 1725 that married Elizabeth Hurley.
More proof is still required to say with 100% accuracy that Samuel Austin from NB is the son of John Austin and Elizabeth Hurley. The one piece of evidence that points in this direction is that one of the sons of Samuel Austin was named David Hurley Austin.
