      According to notebook 24 page 2 Austin's of America File, New John London Manuscript #024016 Stephen Austin married Mary Brinkerhoff, daughter of Abraham and Mary Brinkerhoff in 1786:

      #024016: Stephen Austin (s. Thomas Austin) d.1802
      m.1786 Huntington, Long Island NY Mary Brinkerhoff
      (dau. Abraham & Mary Brinkerhoff) b.1766, ch:

      possession of great g-s. Daniel Berry Austin

      From the letters of Ralph Hausrath to Dawn Marie Austin:
      Elizabeth Austin, my, (Ralph Hausrath), Aunt told me the Austin Land in Copiague had come from--"Old Brinkerhoff". This would be Abraham Brinkerhoff, a Dutch Landowner and father to Stephen Austin's wife Mary Brinkerhoff. When I was a boy in the 1920's and 1930's a large block of land---probably 25 or 30 acres----on the West side of South Great Neck Road was almost all Austin land. This land ran westward 600 to 700 feet to the east side of Howell's Creek. This block of land was south of the Montauk Highway and extended down to about where the road swings left to go to the public dock. Only a strip along Montauk Highway, part of which is now occupied by the shopping center, and one small house-sized plot further south were not Austin land.
