Sheena,

Given the locality of your family I found your line of Austins. You descend from Robert Austin of Rhode Island as I do. My line starts with Robert`s son, Edward; yours starts with Robert`s son Jeremiah, b. abt. 1662 in RI.

I found a couple of databases at WorldConnect that show your line. One of them goes down to Willet Austin & Rachel Bratton. (They were the parents of Donald Ray Austin, as you know.) That one is here: http://tinyurl.com/r3g9nq

There is a Member Tree at Ancestry.com that shows your family of Donald Ray Austin & Delores Schmid. It shows that they had two children, Larry Austin 1959-1988 & another child listed as living. The owner of the tree is LENNYAUSTIN83 Perhaps you know him. You have to be a member of Ancestry to view this tree. LennyAustin83 has posted a message on the Rootsweb/Ancestry boards here: http://tinyurl.com/p5kd63
You might try to contact him by replying to this message if you don`t already know him personally.
