Robert, on the 1830 Perry Co. Census there is a Cornelius and Absolem Autrey. I don't know about 1840 but will check as soon a I get a chance to go to the Birmingham Library. Our Elizabeth Autrey Hopkins was also in Perry Co. at that time.

Knowing that your John Autry was from GA ca. 1799 raises the possibility that he was a descendant of Cpt John Autry, the son of Cornelius who was killed by the Creek indians in GA in 1788. He is the subject of Chapter 3 in the Autry/Culbreth book. The first Autry history was that of Mahan Blair Autry (p 237) who published the family of Cpt John in 1964. This book may be available on the internet, and has been republished by Higginson Book Co. It might be helpful to look there. I believe it was named: Descendants of Capt John Autry (listed in Footnotes) Robert Autry Brooks.

Robert, Thanks for the reply. I have no idea who Our John decended from or Elilzabeth. I know that on the church minutes for the Mars Hill Bapt Church of Oconee Co. Ga. there were several Autrey's as well as Bankston and Priscilla Hopkins who we are assuming was the mother of John Hopkins that married the Elizabeth Autrey. There were all there in 1799 when the Church was constitued. I cannot find my copy of the Minutes of the Church to see exactly which of the Autrey's are listed. I know there were several. Just as quickly as I locate the book, I will c heck it out and get an E-Mail off to you.

I don't find anything on Eliz Autry/John Hopkins. I don't have much on Autry's in that area. However, it is hard to find someone unless one knows what line they came from, i.e. which child of Cornelius the Immigrant they descended from. If I should run across this combination, I will let the web know. Robert Autry B

Robert, in your research have you any record for Elizabeth Autrey that married John Hopkins. I don't know where they lived at the time of marriage but know that they left Ga and moved to Tenn where John joined Andrew Jackson and was wounded in Talladega Al. but apparently died of blood loss from going back to Tenn. She recieved land in Ala as a result of his service and in 1818 a daughter Nancy married John Fisher in Marengo County Al. They later moved to Perry County Al. where they were all dead by 1858. Nancy and John were my GGgrands. Anything you have on these will be greatly appreciated.

Hi: Here is the complete petition signed by John Autry in 1810 in the LA Territory in case you notice any other famiy names on the same list. Note that the section numbers means what copy of the petition was signed. He was the 20th person to sign petition 1. I hope this is not too large for some of your mail boxes. I do note some surnames that ended up in early Lawrence Co. where they married into the Mattix family: Hatcher, Smith, Thomson, English, Black & Robertson.

The Petition of the undersigned inhabitants of the Territory of Louisiana, Most Respectfully Sheweth. That they have waited with anxious but silent expectation for the arrival of that period, when in pursuance of the treaty by which Louisiana was ceded to the United States, they are to be admitted "according to the principles of the federal constitution, to the enjoyment of all rights, advantages and immunities of Citizens of the United States." These rights they do humbly conceive cannot be enjoyed while the judicial and legislative powers are vested in the same persons. Where powers are combined which the constitution requires should be separate, and where the makers of laws, is also obliged to expound, and to decide upon them. Your Petitioners are fully impressed with the idea that legislative powers are never better, not more satisfactorily exercised than when committed to those persons who are elected for that purpose by the people themselves, whose conduct must be regulated by those very laws thus made. The inhabitants of the territory of Orleans, have already obtained those rights which your petitioners now ask, and to which they deem themselves also entitled. The last returns ofthe militia of this territory will be found to exceed those of the Indiana and Mississippi territory, and the number is daily increased by rapid emigrations to this territory. Confiding therefore, in the justice and wisdom of your honorable bodies, they most respectfully ask, that a law may be passed for enabling the inhabitants of this territory to have and enjoy the rights and privileges consequent upon a second grade of territorial government, and that the same may be established in this Territory And your petitioners as in duty bound will ever pray Transcriber's note: The column of numbers before the names, represent the number placement of the signature within each of the 7 Sections.

Hi: I thought I lost several of the e-mails so sent them again - but they showed up anyhow. Sorry about the repetition of Autry info. Regards Nan 71532.734@compuserve.com

I was really interested to see the information about the petition from Alabama residents objecting to the possibility that Alabama lands west of the Mobile and Tombigbee Rivers would become part of the state of Mississippi because I think I know who Alexander Autrey was. I really do not know about William. In any event, Alexander strikes me as the sort of fellow who would sign such a petition, even though he did not live in the area west of the Mobile and Tombigbee Rivers. Here is some of the information I have collected on Alexander and William Autrey. Janey E. Joyce in San Antonio, Texas ALEXANDER2 AUTREY (Absalon1) was born 4 Jan. 1780 in North Carolina, the son of Absalom and (---) Autrey. He died 22 Sept. 1857 at his home in Conecuh County, Ala. On 27 Feb. 1803 Alexander "Otrey" obtained a marriage bond in Rutherford County, N.C., to wed "Theny Irvine." Bondsman was Absalom "Otrey." Alexander Autrey and PARTHENIA B.(BETHANY) IRVIN married 5 March 1803. She was born about 1786 in North Carolina, according to the 1850 census. Alexander Autrey moved to Georgia in 1810 and to Monroe County, Ala., shortly after the establishment of peace with Great Britain in 1815. Conecuh County was carved out of Monroe County in 1818 so it is quite likely that he never moved after settling in Monroe County. He is said to be the second "white man" to settle in Conecuh County, Ala. He built Fort Autrey in 1816 on Section 23, Township 5-N, Range 10-E, in what is now Conecuh County, to provide protection from Indians for the settlers of Hampden Ridge and for those traveling the Burnt Corn-Pensacola Trading Path. Alexander Autrey was on the 1818 tax list of Conecuh County and was justice of the Quorum of Conecuh County on 10 May 1819. Alabama became a state in 1819 and the first federal census of Alabama was taken in 1820. Only eight of Alabama�s 1820 county censuses have survived, including that of Conecuh County. Alexander Autrey and a William Autrey were enumerated in the 1820 Conecuh County, Ala., census, apparently not living near one another. William Autrey and Alexander might have been related in some way, possibly even were brothers. William, then above age 21, was too old to be one of Alexander and Parthenia�s sons. Here is what one of Alexander�s grandsons wrote about him:back in 1881: "In stature, Mr. Autrey was tall, rather disposed to stoop, and of lean physique. He practically illustrated in his life what could be achieved by genuine pluck and perseverance. The odds encountered and the dangers braved by him in coming to Conecuh, only served to stimulate him to more vigorous exertions. He came up from the most straitened circumstances, enduring all the privations of pioneer life, and yet when he died he was one of the wealthiest men in Conecuh. The controlling traits of his character were an indomitable will and a vigorous energy. Whatever engaged his attention at all, fired him with an ardent enthusiasm. He reared a large family, both of sons and daughters, of whom only one remains � Mrs. C.P. Robinson of Vermillionville, Louisiana."

Hi: at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~chase/PETITION%20TO%20CONGRESS%20F ROM.doc There are signatures by Alexander and William Autry in an 1817 petition to Congress from AL This is seven years after a John Autry signed a petition in the Lousiana Territory part which later became MO Territory & part of that later became AR territory. Some Autrys may have moved south to AL while others went west to LA Territory - later to become AR. Regards Nan 71532.734@compuserve.com

Hi: This is even earlier than the 1810 petition to Congress that was signed by Jno. Autry. This kust has just the As and Bs. It would be nice to see the rest of the names.
