From the evidence I have found, John Austin (Austin-744) had only three children: John, Benoni, and Sarah. Benoni Austin (Austin-762) married his cousin, Mercy Austin (Austin-2911), daughter of Jeremiah Austin (Austin-204). It is likely that the Mercy Austen (Austen-134) either belongs to another branch of the Austin/Austen family or should be merged with Austin-2911.

As for the other children listed here - Joseph (Austin-742), Robert (Austin-753), Daniel (Austin-131), Ezekiel (Austen-133), and Anna (Austen-130) - if there are no sources verifying they are the children of John (Austin-744), then they need to be removed and/or placed with the correct parent (if possible).
