Um... The interesting thing here is Sarah McMillan... My 3-great grandfather John Autry married (also a second wife) Barbara ("Bubby") Rebecca McMillan, widow of James Murphy... and my 2-great grandfather John English Autry was their son. I know of one sister of Barbara Rebecca, Mary McMillan... who married Quincy Bass. Do you know anything of Sarah's siblings or parents? I have Barbara Rebecca and Mary's father's name down as John McMillan, but I really know nothing about him and that is just "gossip" level information.

Capt.John Autry was the son of Cornelius Autry senior, the immigrant. He was born in1741 and died in 1788 at the hands of Creek Indians in Alabama. Micajah Autry was the son of Theophilus Autry 1770-1834 who was the son of Cornelius Autry Jr 1747-1810 which indicates they were not brothers. Micajah was born 1794 and died in 1836 at the Alamo.

Janey... Captain John Autry was a member of the Wilkes County Georgia militia in the Revolution, and a Refugee Captain... meaning that when the British & Tories prevailed in Georgia he was forced to flee to South Carolina where he continued the fight and probably was among the Georgians of Col. Elijah Clarke who came back to Georgia with Col. Andrew Pickens' South Carolinians and decisively defeated the Tories at Kettle Creek (the Battle of the Canebrakes). John had at least two brothers who were also captains in the Wilkes County Georgia militia, and one of them, Alexander Autry, is definitely known to have fought at Kettle Creek. After the war Alexander bought and farmed land that had been part of the battlefield. Captain John Autry was murdered and scalped by Creek Indians at Richland Creek near Scull Shoals on the Oconee River on 2 February 1788, and he was buried where he fell. His death at the hands of the Creeks was reported to the Governor of Georgia (George Handley) in a letter from General Elijah Clarke on 8 February 1788. The site of his death is now in and very near the northern boundary of the northernmost segment of the Oconee National Forest... east of Atlanta.

The best available information that I'm aware of says that Captain John & Micajah were brothers, but in any case I don't think it possible to be descended from both... You need to determine who your grandfather's father was from a family Bible, census records, your grandfather's death certificate, or other records such as wills and land records... and work your way back to some point that you can tie into the published Autry lineage. That may or may not be possible. I have good documentation back to my 3-great grandfather John Autry and so far as I know my 3-great grandfather John Autry was a son of Captain John Autry... but I've never been very satisfied by the information that I have seen indicating that and wish that I had time & energy to really dig for documentation.

Surely someone has done some research on Michijah's descendants. I don't know about John Autry, but Michijah Autry's descendants got a Texas land grant based on their father's service during the Texas Revolution. I would suspect that lots of women are members of the DRT based on their descent from Michajah Autrey. The only way you can verify your family story is to work back from your grandfather. Maybe that will lead you back to Michijah Autrey and maybe it won't. But it is the only way to verify the story, if it is true. Janey E.

Richard, Interesting! I knew nothing at all about Capt. John Autrey. However, on the basis of what you just wrote, I would say it was unlikely that Capt. John Autrey was a brother of the Micajah Autrey who died at the Alamo. Micajah's background has been well researched: He was born in 1794 in North Carolina, a son of Theophilus and Elizabeth (Greer) Autrey. Capt. John Autry must have been a mature man in the 1770s to have been named captain of the Wilkes County, Ga., militia. I don't know when or where he was born but let me guess that he was about 30 when the Revolution began, which would put his year of birth around 1746. That would make a nearly 50-year gap in ages between Capt. John and Micajah. Janey Richard White <rw@pone.com> wrote: Janey...

I am looking for verification of genealogy: I was told that I was a direct descendent of Capt. John Autry and Michijah Autry who fought in the Alamo. My name is Robert L. Autry (San Antonio My Father's Name is Charles Lloyd Autry (San Marcos) His Father's Name was Fred M Autry (San Marcos) That's about all I know. I was told that someone has done a book on our genealogy by someone in Corsicana Texas, but that it was not in print any longer and was never publicly published and that I might be able to find it in a library. Can Someone please give me resources so that I can confirm these items. Thank you, Robert L Autry

I just checked an on-line list of those who died at the Alamo. Capt. John Autry is not on the list. Michijah Autry of North Carolina is. Janey E.

Hi Robert, Since you live in San Antonio, you should check the Daughters of the Republic of Texas Library located on the Alamo grounds. Surely someone has done some research on Michijah's descendants. I don't know about John Autry, but Michijah Autry's descendants got a Texas land grant based on their father's service during the Texas Revolution. I would suspect that lots of women are members of the DRT based on their descent from Michajah Autrey. The only way you can verify your family story is to work back from your grandfather. Maybe that will lead you back to Michijah Autrey and maybe it won't. But it is the only way to verify the story, if it is true. Janey E.

I would like to find out more about John Calvin Autry's first marriage and the names of the children. I am trying to trace the parents of my gr-gr-grandmother, Cynthia Ann Autry. Thanks, Helen O'Hair
