I promised to have the book up and running by New Years Day, and it looks like I made it! The book is up and running with a search engine at http://www.autreyheritage.com/autrybook/ Remaining problems with the book (which shouldn't hinder you looking through it): Formatting errors that make some pages hard to read (or just don't look pretty) Some missing pages. I'll be correcting these errors as I get time. -- ------------------:::::::------------------Andréa I'm the root of all that's evil, yeah, But you can call me cookie. (Bloodhound Gang)

Robert, as one of those who tends to lean toward the Scottish origins of our family I found it interesting that the MCAUGHTER you listed was from "Kirk". One of those that I have referred to is named Roland MacAughtrie who was not from "Kirk" but "Kirkcudsbrightshire". I wouldn't blame anyone for wanting to shorten that one!

I ran across some interesting names in the Scottish Church Records, which consists of one CD, published several years ago and widely available in LDS family history centers. For years, some people have suggested Scotland as an origin of the Autry's, by various spellings. In my family, some said they were French Huguenots who were refugees to Scotland, and then by some way to America. While running through this CD, I found some interesting names. I have no way of knowing if they relate to the American Autrys. The only AUTTREY spelling I found was an Elisabeth Auttrey, born 29 July 1748 in Stirling, Scotland, to Charles Auttrey and Janet Drummond. Why only one person is listed is puzzling. Perhaps it represents someone passing through Scotland? At least, the date is near the time they seemed to appear in North America. There were several children named MCAUGHTRIE, including Alexander, Thomas, William, etc., with similar named fathers. And daughters named Agnes, Elizabeth, Robina, etc. All were listed from Ayr, Scotland, with dates from about 1830 to 1850, which is much later than the Autrys appeared in America. There were one or two named MCAUGHTERY, MCAUGHTREE, and MCAUGHTRY. All of these were from Ayr with similar dates around 1840. So all would seem to be variations of the above spelling. There was one earlier one, a MCAUGHTER from "Kirk" in 1693, who does not seem to be related. I have no idea whether or not these persons have any significance to Autr*y genealogy. But with their well known propensity to be out spoken Protestants, I found it interesting and provocative. Robert Autry Brooks

Your information is very interesting. A relative of mine once told me that the origin for the KY Autry's was Scotland....... I kind of ignored it.......may have to do a retake. Thanks for sharing.

Would like to know how we could obtain a copy of this book. Thanks much Max Smith

You can either buy one from Higginson.com or you can look at it for free at www.autreyheritage.com/autrybook/ The book is almost completely up now. The search engine doesn't work, but I'm working on fixing that. I also need to go in and do a bunch of aesthetics editing. -----Original Message----- From: CHANCEY01@aol.com [mailto:CHANCEY01@aol.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 24, 2002 8:35 AM To: AUTRY-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [AUTRY] Re: AUTRY-D Digest V02 #42 Would like to know how we could obtain a copy of this book.

I am trying to find out more about James Daniel Autry, known as Dan Autry. He was my wife's grandfather. His date of birth I have not established. He married Mary Vaughn in 1901 in North Carolina. Based on this his date of birth would be 1880 or a little earlier. Their children were: Haywood, Len, Winona (known as Sis) Charlotte, Bertha, Jonnie and Hallie. His parents names I understand to be Van Autry, and Charlotte Powell of Cumberland county NC. He lived most if not all of his years in Cumberland and Hoke counties, most of the time in Raeford. His occupation was Surveyor Not much to go on, but if any of this is recognisable to anyone, I would appreciate a return note. David Agostini Perth, Australia

Andrea-May I add my congrats for the job you are doing. I have one of the books ordered from Dr Bundy prior to publication and when I got it I was amazed at the coverage of the Autrys. My only complaint is that the index was not corrected as to page numbers probably do to a last minute page insertion. Some where about in the middle of the book the page number references became wrong and rather than finding the name you were looking for on one page it would appear on the next page. I bring this up so anyone using your page references should not get discouraged just look on the next page. Again, my thanks. You have my vote for a halo. Best Regards, Bill Autry

Andrea... Leona... All... This brings up something that I think is rather important. The Autry book is the book is the book. If corrections and additions are to be made, they should be made in the form of a detailed annotation of some sort giving the source... and in this case Leona Adams would be the source... unless she provides actual source documents. I don't know if you are committing yourself to this sort of thing, Andrea, but if you are... doing it any other way would just give two conflicting documents and no idea of the reasons behind the conflict or if they are just a typing error or something. Please don't consider this to be in opposition to corrections, additions... and improvements of all kinds; it's just that if it's going to be done at all it needs to be done "right" and doing it would be a major commitment, not to be entered into casually. At the risk of not being liked very much, I'll go out on a limb and say that Andrea should not have to worry about this sort of thing, AT LEAST until she actually gets the book, as originally written, online and working.

I have no way to make corrections at this time. I knew there would be corrections and additions, so in the intro to the book, I voiced the hope that the AFA Bulletin would be a way to keep up with corrections. Unfortunately, there is no current bulletin or publication that I know of, other that this Internet, that can do this. That is why I think that is it so fortunate that Andrea keeps this going. Robert Autry Brooks

I probably need to make a comment re the index of the Autry/Culbreth book. The rough copy of the book fortunately went to the publisher a couple of weeks before Mayo was killed. The index was started here in AZ but could not be finished and Mayo wanted it done there by a friend. It was finally completed some months after he died but it and the book were never proofread by anyone back in NC. The sum of this is that it is fortunate that there are not more mistakes than there are. The book is a compilation of the info that Cousin Mayo collected over 60 yrs, which he modified to emphasize Autry lines over Culbreth--since they frequently intermarried! The original cost came from Cousin Mayo's wanting most of the books presold. He was very conservative and did most of the work himself, often until 2-3 am, on his $3 portable typewriter, which is had bought used. So I did not want to change the price he committed to. I never actually totaled up what it cost. Best to let some sleeping dogs lie??? I have always thought the Autr*ys were an unusual American pioneer family and wanted a legacy to attest to that.

I plan to put the book up in its original form first (and of course this doesn't make you disliked, Richard, just thorough. :) ) . And I agree that documentation is important.
