This message is for Robert Autry Brooks or to others if they have the answer: On page 6 of The Descendants of Cornelius Autry, Immigrant , two deeds are mentioned related to land transactions between William Autry and Cornelius Autry that are referenced as: Deed Book B, page 392 (1763) Deed Book F, page 432 (1774) The book is vague as to the NC counties where these records are located so I have written both Cumberland County and Sampson County. Both counties' responses were negative as to having a deed book so labelled containing information on Autrys. Previously I have been successful in getting land deeds from Pitt County that are referenced in the book. My question is whether the earlier book might have the same reference and be more specific as to county where these two deeds reside and, if so, can you tell me which county it specifies? I will write Pitt County at this point but in case it is another county that might be properly referenced elsewhere, I thought that I would check with you. Your book has been a tremendous road map in researching my husband's lineage. Thanks, Pat Autry

I think this is a wonderful idea. There is so much undocumented information out there that many people accept as Gospel.

Hi guys, I believe that Jana misspoke when she identified the census shown below as the census of Sterling Autrey. It is the census of Starling/Sterling Ruffin Price. He was married to Alsista Autrey, probably one of the daughters of Cornelius and Nancy (Eaves) Autrey.

In the 1850 census of Sampson County, NC There is: Autry, Sterling, b. 1812 with his family, this is the one that married Ann McPhail. In the next household is Phillip Autry b 1821 and his family. Is this Phillip a brother to Sterling? Jannine Coble Gregory

There are only 2 Sterling Autry's listed in 1850 (1) Autry, Sterlin .. Tennessee, Henderson Co., Ist. District, page 15 (2) Autry, Sterling ... N. C., Sampson Co., Northern District, page 371 Most likely your Sterling is the one in Henderson Co. Perhaps some Autry in earlier Henderson Co. is his parent..... I see a marriage for Aquilla Ann Pocahontas Autry, listed as his daughter, to a Rushel B. Pace in Madison Co. TN. on 16 Dec. 1873. on LDS search site. Let me know if I can help you further with possible earlier census index data. I do not have anything but 1880 actual Census. Have index for earlier years. Cheers, Diane G.

I have a Sterling Autry b 1809 in Tn married to Emily b. 1819 in Tn. Their children are: Nancy b. 1848, John b 1845, George b. 1847, Ann b. 1850, Thomas b 1853, William b. 1857 Does anyone know who his parents are? Thanks Jannine Coble Gregory

This could possible be Rueben Lawson Autry/Autrey who married Eliza Jane Autry/Autrey. Their first child was born in 1862. Rueben is the son of Adam Autrey. Adams father is Frederick Autrey. Eliza Jane is the daughter of Alexander M. Autrey. Alexander M. Autrey is the son of Alexander Autrey. Alexander and Frederick are brothers. They have another brother Elijah. Their father is James, son of Cornelius. Rueben and Eliza Jane had Eleanna Virginia "Jenny" and she is my great grandmother. Jenny had a twin sister "Molly." LindaTatum

Among Clarke Co, Mississippi, marriage records are those for R. AUTREY and Miss E.J. AUTREY (1862), and for Nathan HERRING and Mary A. AUTRY (1858) To which AUTRY family-group do these people belong? Mary A. HERRING is depicted as having been born in Alabama in the 1860 census returns. There are several elements of the family of Thomas BANKSTON (1760-1849) in this and adjacent counties. Thomas BANKSTON's wife was a daughter of Simon AUTRY. Might there be a connection? Roy White rwhite@aros.net
