Well for now along with what the book says I will be satisfied. Now I want to do some research on Tenn during the time period and see what my people where up against and try to figure out logically why they would move to Texas. Especially Caldwell County So far the only thing I have come up with is that Williams wife was born in Texas Then I want to find out more about Caldwell Country and what it was like for them. The only thing that has bothered me in all of this is it seems we have a history of divorces and EXTREMELY large families with people who were not stable. I just wonder if pride could be the cause of this. It appears that as a result of the tumult there is not anything built long term like "The King Ranch" for instance.

Thank you for the info re the various Corneliuses (Cornelii?) and Absaloms. Also for the information as to Absalom not necessarily being directly French. Regarding our line's origins, my greatgrandmother (Virgi Downing Dealey) told my aunt Gloria that she had one grandmother who was Irish (O'Hara/O'Harrow) and one who was "Dutch". Her other grandmother was Charity Mira Autrey m. Thomas Jefferson Downing. Virgi could have meant Dutch as in Holland (another place Protestants fled to) or Deutsch/German as in Pennsylvania "Dutch". Ties between England and Germany were very strong; George III was, I believe, the first of the England's Hanoverian Kings to speak English. A German/English origin might explain the Loyalist stance. If Absalom were the emmigrant, Charity would have only been two generations from her "origins" and probably knew her grandfather. We have been puzzling over this reference. By the way, Virgi also said that Charity was born in Georgia, not Alabama.

The family Bible pages from Isaac Awtry, son of Absalom Autrey and Mary Lucy Naomi Camp are here: <http://users.htcomp.net/rrw/in2.htm> Isaac Awtry was born 5 Dec., 1776 in NC or in Greene Co., GA. He died 15 Sept., 1842, DeKalb Co., GA and was buried in the Macedonia Baptist Church Cemetery in DeKalb Co., GA. Isaac Awtry married Arminta Bankston born-12 Feb., 1782 died-9 May, 18also in DeKalb Co., GA. Elreeta Weathers

I believe the 1880 census was the first census that was soundexed. There are printed census indexes for Mississipp, but they will only have the heads of household indexed. Ancestry.com is working on an every-name index for 1860 and posting it online everytime a state is finished. But I am pretty sure Mississippi has not been indexed yet. Be patient; it will eventually be posted. Although I personally subscribe to ancestry.com, it is not necessary to do that. Many public libraries and all LDS Church (Mormon) family history centers subscribe to ancestry.com.

Dear Mrs. Molnar: Thank you for your response. I am not sure how I sent something to your husbands email address unless it was through a link that I came across somehow. I have been on the group only a short time and have been conducting some research on my own with the book that is listed there along with searching on the database afforded by the San Antonio Library online. I have come across some interesting finds and allot of great people helping out: So far all I have been able to fully establish however: is what I personally know to be factual and accurate accounts of the census reports I found through SA Library. I have compiled my own book so to speak using word and Adobe Acrobat reader for my own information. I am not a genealogist, or at least didn't think I was until this week. I am conducting my own research because I am not certain the others are accurate as I can not find sources for their finds. I want to be able to compile the data as I have for many years as a Research Scientist, in that I want to be able to back everything up with complete undisputed original data with references. So far the only ones that I can do this with are based on personal knowledge of the census reports. This census method however, only leads me back confidently to my Great Grandfather who I can say without a doubt was "William Joseph Autry" because he lists my grandfather "Fredrick M. Autry". Along with his brother "Joe" "William Joseph" Jr. on a census report for Caldwell County, Texas in 1900. Then in a census in 1920 Guadalupe County, Texas I find listings for: "Fred M." along with my Grand Mother "Ethel" (we called her Mammon) listed again along with his brother "Joe" "William Joseph" Jr. but at a different address (very close by) both as "heads of households" along with all my other Uncles and Aunts who I recognize, my dad not listed yet because he was not born until 1925 as the last child. Then I find: the census report for 1930 for Hays County (San Marcos) which lists "Fred M." and my grandmother "Ethel" as heads of households along with everyone else again except not Fred's Brother who must be back in Guadalupe County still but this time it also lists my dad "Charles L." as being 5 years old and the man I was named after "Robert L." as being 7 years old and then lists My Great Grand Mother on My Grandmother's side "Matilda Vineyard" they called her "Mrs. Vineyard" she went to live with my Grandfather when her husband went to be with our Lord In the 1900 report William Joseph Autry says he was born in July of 1856 in Mississippi and both his father and mother were born in Tennessee. I can't find a census that shows me this in Tenn. Any help locating concrete records concerning my Great Great Grandfather would be appreciated. Thanks, Robert Lee Autry Springtown, Texas

Both Absalom and Cornelius were popular names with the Autreys. I am unwilling to assume, at this point, that the Absalom Autrey who was a Tory was the same Absalom who probably fathered the Cornelius Autrey who married Nancy Eaves. The Cornelius Autrey in Sampson County is almost certainly from a different line of Autreys. Census records suggest that "our" Cornelius Autrey was born 1775-1780, so was unlikely to have been enumerated as the head of a househole in 1790. The Cornelius Autry enumerated in Sampson County was above 16 and was probably married to the female enumerated with him. He was probably at least 30 in 1790 because Cornelius, Isham, John and Theophilus Autry were on the 1784 tax rolls of Sampson County. By 1784 all North Carolina men age 21 or older paid a head tax. So Cornelius was at least 21 in 1784. "Our" Cornelius Autrey was probably in his father Absalom's household when Absalom and his family were enumerated in Moore County, N.C., census in 1790. I have connected the Absalom Autrey who was in Moore County, N.C., in 1790 with the Absalom Autrey who was enumerated in Rutherford County, N.C,. in 1800 because I found a record of a deed wherein Absolom Autery of "Moor" County, N.C. purchased two tracts of land in Rutherford County from John Leatherman on 15 Dec. 1798. The land was described as 120 acres on Webbs Ceek and 100 acres, also on Webbs Creek. Absalom Autrey sold land on Webbs Creek, Rutherford County, to probable son Cornelius Autrey in 1805, which seems more than a coincidence to me. Incidentally, George Autrey - who I believe to have been Absalom's youngest son although many believe he was Cornelius's son - or someone in his household told the 1880 census enumerator that George's father was born in England and his mother was born in Germany. I think that is interesting, especially when another probable son of Absalom's - Alexander Autrey - came from French and German ancestry, according to his grandson, Benjamin Franklin Riley. In my view, those two bits of information do not conflict. French Protestants began fleeing to England and other countries to avoid persecution in the 16th Century. Some of these refugees and some of their descendants immigrated to the New World. So it is not unlikely that a man of French descent who was born in England ended up in North Carolina. So I also think we must consider the possibility that Absalom was the original immigrant of his line of descendants and was not the son of the Cornelius Autrey who can be found as early as 1754 in Edgecombe County, N.C. and probably died there about 1774. I have looked at many, many records and have only been able to identify two children for that Cornelius Autrey: Isom and Sarah, who married George Vickers. I would love to hear from anyone who has found solid evidence of any other children for him. Janey E.

I am a descendant of Absalom Autrey through Charity Autrey and Thomas Jefferson Downing. Query: andrewbalfour.com has published excerpts from Col. David Fanning's Narrative under whom Absalom Autrey served. Absalom was with David Fanning and shot Colonel Andrew Balfour in NC on March 10, 1782 outside his home. The soldiers pursued Balfour into the house and shot him in front of his daughter and sister-in-law after which the women were attacked. At least one of the soldiers was later hanged. Fanning and some of his men escaped to SC. 1. After the war British troops were transported to E. Florida. The oft-quoted British War Office excerpt says "these men were determined to go to Florida". The Balfour site states: After the War, on May 17, 1782 the Act of pardon and Oblivion passed, exempting [Fanning] from pardon in NC. David and his wife were sent to Florida, awaiting deportation to Canada. Did Absalom determine to go to Florida or was it determined for him? Does anyone have the entire War Office Report or the 1782 Act? 2. Given Absalom's very active role in what was regarded as Col. Balfour's murder, was he indicted or refused pardon like Fanning? Was he ever pardoned? Was his land seized as indicated by Deed Abstracts of Tryon, Lincoln, & Rutherford Counties, N.C.: Tryon Co. estates: Book A1 P. 247? Did he work his way across to Georgia and then return to NC? 3. Absalom's son Cornelius is listed in the 1790 Census in Sampson Co NC with 1 woman but his marriage to Nancy Eaves took place about 10 years later. Could he have been living with his mother or a sister while his father was gone? Interestingly, an Autry/Balfour Descendant marriage took place in 1920 (check Balfour site). ==== AUTRY Mailing List ==== Have you visited the Autrey Heritage page?

-----Original Message----- From: rdwoodlockatty@earthlink.net [mailto:rdwoodlockatty@earthlink.net] Sent: Monday, March 15, 2004 6:23 PM To: Autry-l-request@rootsweb.com Subject: Absalom Autrey Tory Please add me to the e-mail list. I am a descendant of Absalom Autrey through Charity Autrey and Thomas Jefferson Downing. Query: andrewbalfour.com has published excerpts from Col. David Fanning's Narrative under whom Absalom Autrey served. Absalom was with David Fanning and shot Colonel Andrew Balfour in NC on March 10, 1782 outside his home. The soldiers pursued Balfour into the house and shot him in front of his daughter and sister-in-law after which the women were attacked. At least one of the soldiers was later hanged. Fanning and some of his men escaped to SC. 1. After the war British troops were transported to E. Florida. The oft-quoted British War Office excerpt says "these men were determined to go to Florida". The Balfour site states: After the War, on May 17, 1782 the Act of pardon and Oblivion passed, exempting [Fanning] from pardon in NC. David and his wife were sent to Florida, awaiting deportation to Canada. Did Absalom determine to go to Florida or was it determined for him? Does anyone have the entire War Office Report or the 1782 Act? 2. Given Absalom's very active role in what was regarded as Col. Balfour's murder, was he indicted or refused pardon like Fanning? Was he ever pardoned? Was his land seized as indicated by Deed Abstracts of Tryon, Lincoln, & Rutherford Counties, N.C.: Tryon Co. estates: Book A1 P. 247? Did he work his way across to Georgia and then return to NC? 3. Absalom's son Cornelius is listed in the 1790 Census in Sampson Co NC with 1 woman but his marriage to Nancy Eaves took place about 10 years later. Could he have been living with his mother or a sister while his father was gone? Interestingly, an Autry/Balfour Descendant marriage took place in 1920 (check Balfour site).

Nan, My John Autrey is also from Indiana, gone in the 1870 census. I suspect that he's from the same group that you're seeing in Indiana, and I know who is researching that specific group (besides me, because of the suspected connection). Contact me off list and we can talk about it. -----Original Message----- From: Nan406@aol.com [mailto:Nan406@aol.com] Sent: Monday, March 15, 2004 5:20 PM To: AUTRY-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [AUTRY] Ind. & Texas Autrey Family To All on the list, I have a mystery John Autrey, who's cen. info. says b. ca. 1813- NC with children b.

Still looking to prove the parents of Alexander Autry born according to census between 1756-1765 unknown and died in Ohio County KY before March 6, 1826. Wife was Margaret born between 1756-1760, and possible sons were John (married Mary Polly Gee) Giles and Simon. Possible daughter Mary Polly who married William Faught. Any info or leads would be greatly appreciated.
