After having their first child, Johann Friedrich Augenstein in November of 1827, the young couple and their son came to the United States, arriving together in Baltimore, Maryland in October of 1828. The family soon began using the surname Augustine and settled in Lower St. Clair Township in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania near Pittsburgh sometime before 1840. John and Johanna Augustine had a large family in a home in a lot in South Pittsburgh (in what is now called the South Side) in between Carson Street and Manor Street near Sixth Avenue.
