This is NOT "John Champness Austin" who married "Mary Maybee or McBee." That is from a different Austin line. See attached sources.
Sgt. Maj. John Austin, Sr was born on September 14, 1726. His parents were William Wilson Austin, I and Ruth Austin.
John married Mary Austin circa 1750 in Virginia, USA. Together they had the following children:
He died on December 12, 1815, in Hanover County, Virginia, United States.

John Austin Junior who fought in the French & Indian War as a young Corporal in the Virginia Militia under Colonel Washington and Colonel Byrd, and also fought, as an older man, in the Revolution as a Sargent-Major under General Washington. We believe he lived in Hanover County Virginia on lands boardering the Chikahominy awarded to him for his services to the Commonwealth of Virginia in both conflicts. The name "Bosworth" is associated with these grants.
What little I know is this: He was born in 1726, married a woman named Mary Crenshaw c.1750, and died in 1815 in Hanover County. His father was also named John Austin (b.1695) and his mother is thought to have been named Anne Jones (b.1700).
They had the following off-spring:
Susanna (m. Rev.John Anthony),
Elizabeth (m. Benjamin Allen),
Sarah (m. Nathaniel Bell),
William (m. Mary Trueman) and
John III (m. Lucy Shelton and later m.Sarah Spottswo
