(AW) refers to the book "American Wills and Administrations in The Prerogative Court of Canterbury 1610 - 1857", Peter Wilson Coldham, Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co. 1989.

From that work, on page 13:

Austell, Joseph, of Boston, New England. Special limited probate to the cousin, Moses Austill, (Sep 1748)


Also:

Joseph Austel and Elizabeth Engersol
(int. reads Austell and Enggersell)
Married by Cotton Mather, Jan 19, 1721 Presn

"Boston Marriages, 1700 - 1809"
by Edward W. McGlenen, Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., 1977. Page 99.


These are the only references to Austill / Austells in Boston, or other parts of Massachusetts. This Joseph is likely the eldest son of Joseph Austill & wife Sarah who immigrated to Pennsylvania in 1699, but we have no conclusive evidence to prove such at present.
