[ref 44:8] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Matthew Austin is first of record in July 1653. At that time he was thrirty-three years old, having been born in 1620, and in 1659 he became sergeant of the military company; in 1665 he was first elected Selectman. He held this latter office in 1669, 1670, 1671, 1672,1673, 1676 and 1678. He was a weaver by occupation. He was an "uncle" of Jeremy and Joseph Tibbetts of Dover, perhaps through marriage with a daughter of Thomas Canney of that town, but later of York. If so, he married a second wife, Mrs. Mary (Davis) dodd, daughter of Nicholas Davis, and widow of George Dodd of Boston. Matthew Austin drew his will November 19, 1684, "a little before his death," but it was not allowed by the court because it was "not so Clearly & Methodically done to the understanding & satisfaction either of authority & some others of sd Mathew Austines relations, who were most espetally Concern'd therein, vidzt Mary Austine his wife & Mathew his onely sonn." The uncertainties of the will related to the bequests of his real property to his wife and his son and its reversions, and a compromise was reached, apparently satisfactory to all concerned, and was signed by the widow, his son Matthew, and his daughters Mary (Sayward) and Sarah Austin on June 6, 1686.
