Richard, I will point you towards Bundy and Brooks book, page 104, where it states that John Autry served served Georgia under Elijah Clark during the American Revolution. His death was reported to Governor Handley by a letter written by Elijah Clark on February 8, 1788. The letter stated that Captain John Autry was killed by Indians near Skull Sholes on the Oconee River. Charlotte

How do I contact Ruth? I am very interested in the book. My local library doesn't have it and would have to see about getting it on loan. Please let me know.

I am almost certain that Captain John Autry, Captain Alexander Autry and Private Jacob Autry all served in Col. Elijah Clarke's regiment of the Georgia Militia. And most probably Simon Autry served in the same group. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard G Autry" <richardautry1@juno.com> To: <AUTRY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, January 21, 2002 11:18 AM Subject: Re: [AUTRY] Giles Autry > Do you even know what branch of service he was in? > On Mon, 21 Jan 2002 05:39:27 -0600 "The Taylor's" <ctaylor@accesscom.net> > writes: > > Richard, > > No, I do not have copies of Captain John's military records. > > > > I also do not have proof that the exerpt from Ky Historical records > > posted > > regarding Giles is correct.

Thanx for your reply. This genealogy business is a tricky one. You really need the integrity to make and stand by the rules to keep the information true then it's really hard and you have to ask yourself this question all the time. But the reward of finding out who your family is, is a great one. My sister once asked me why I'm doing this, so I told her that I wouldn't know who I was till I knew who my ancestors were. Unfortunately there are those who really don't care who fits in this hole in one branch or another.

Richard, Regarding your request for a gedcom. It has been posted here that Andrea (who has a wonderful Autry website - have you seen it?) is working on posting the Bundy and Brooks book which is very detailed as to the lineage of the Cornelius Autry Family in America. Anything I could furnish you with could not possible compare with that. So wait! Have patience - she promised to have it online soon. Regards, Charlotte

Richard, No, I do not have copies of Captain John's military records. I also do not have proof that the exerpt from Ky Historical records posted regarding Giles is correct. I posted this information for researchers to read and evaluate as one must always do for himself to see if it "fits" and if it is "credible". As for my opinion. I am thoroughly convinced that Alexander Autry of Ohio County KY had sons named Giles who married Letitia Miller and Simon who married Martha "Patsy" Autry. Was Alexander a son of Captain John Autry? I don't know. Maybe, maybe not. When Mahan Blair Autry wrote his book on Captain John Autry, nothing was known or written about Alexander Autry or son named Giles. Bundy and Brooks (Decendants of Cornelius Autry, Neil Culbreth and Allied Families, second edition 1996) added information on Captain John's family to include Alexander and a son Giles (see pages 105-109). Also a son Edward.

Patricia , I have a Ephram Born 1792, Married to Margaret with two children: Martha b. abt 1830 and John "Greasy Coat"b. abt 1834. Ephram's father was Hardy Autry b. 1767 N>C> no wife found with two children Ephram and Young. Hardy's father was Capt John Autry b. 1735 and he was a member of the Citizens Patrol that tried to control the indian raids in the area they lived in. In the current Georgia Travel book sent by the dept of Tourism, there is an article about this group and there is a present day group that re-inacts the battles every summer. I don't have much else but if you wish to contact me, do so direct.

A very interesting letter. It shows how the names multiplied! Mayo said once that Blair did a wonderful job but that he mixed up Cornelius the Immigrant with his son Cornelius "Jr". That is why he always put Cornelius the Immigrant. I can't help straighten it out. All that information died with Mayo, I fear. Robert Autry Brooks

Hello, Could you please take me off of your mailing list. My Autet ancestors (spelt Autet, Authé, Auté, Hauté, Authier, and Hauthier were from France. The Autet name was given to the town of Autet in the Franche Compte which is only a few miles from Autrey les Gray. I was there in September of 2001 and saw all of these towns and cities of Autet ancestors. I have not found the connection, as of yet, to the Autry line in the USA so for now please discontinue the emails.

Hi I am searching for Ephraim Autry born app 1790 of Moore Co and Cumberland Co NC . I believe that he was the father of Harpey or Harpie Autry, born app 1819 who married Malcolm Darroch . Any help is appreciated. Patricia London

There is another book out there that I found on microfilm about the Autry Family. It is AUTRY FAMILY by May Merrill Emory. It contains letter and some genealogy from her Autry relatives. It appears that someone compiled all of this information after she died and self published it. You can order a copy of the microfilm at any Family History Center for $3.75 for 30 days. If you need it longer you can get extentions for a reduced price. After the 3rd extention the microfilm is supposed to stay in the Family History Center indefinitly. The microfilm number is 1318398 and the book is iten 4 on the film. Most of the information in the letters is what these relatives could remember. Some is not accurate and some is confusing, but there is some real interesting information on the people. I especially liked the descriptions of the people. I think many Autry researchers will find this little book very interesting and valuable in their research. Marlyne __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Hi guys, Great to see some activity on this list again. I am especially interested in the corrections to the Autrey Book written by Bundy & Brooks mentioned because I am still trying to identify Cornelius and Nancy (Eaves) Autrey's children for the book I am compiling on the ancestors and descendants of Bartlett Eaves. Nancy Eaves was Bartlett's oldest daughter. Identifying the children of Cornelius Autrey and probably Nancy (Eaves) Autrey has been a real challenge. A letter written 1 July 1939 at Waco, Texas, by Cornelius' great-grandson, James Henry Autrey to M. Blair Autrey, identifies 12 sons and four daughters for Cornelius: Abaslom, "went to Caddo Parish, La.;" Alexander, "went to Alabama:" Elijah, "went to Alabama;" John, "went to Mississippi," Enoch, "do not know;" William, "went to Georgia;" George, "went to Texas;" Jacob, "went to Georgia or Mississippi;" Thomas, "went to Louisiana or Texas," Mike or Micajah, "went to Texas;" James, "went to Alabama;" and another son whose name he could not recall; Mrs. Downing, Calhoun County, Ala.; Mrs. Meharg, Calhoun County, Ala.; Mrs Yeager, Perry County, Ala.; and Mrs. Griffin. Bundy & Brooks identify 12 sons and three daughters: Absolom, born 1802; Polly, born 1804; George W., born 1805; Alsira/Elvira, born 1807; Alexander, born 1808; (---), born 1811; Elijah, born 1813; John Henry Autrey, born 1814; Enoch Autrey, born 1815; Charity M. Autrey, b. 1816; William Autrey, born 1816; Jacob William Autrey, born 1817; Micajah, born 1818; Thomas, born 1819; James Henry, born 1819. I have added Bartlett E.(Eaves?) Autrey, born about 1805 in North Carolina. I also think a good case can be made also for the addition of Alsista Autry, born about 1803/04 in North Carolina; Elizabeth Autrey, born about 1809/10 in Georgia; and Commodore/Cornelius Autrey, born about 1819/20 in Alabama. I also think a case can be made for E.(Elijah?) B. Autrey, born about 1828 in Alabama, although I have speculated that he was possibly Cornelius' grandchild, son of Bartlett E. Autrey and a possible unknown first wife. Censuses taken of Cornelius Autrey's household in 1830 and 1840 also suggest other children. I would be most grateful if some of you can clear up some of the mysteries. To recapitulate the information I have collected on the possible children of Cornelius Autrey: a. Absalom - Born 11 April 1802, according to his gravestone. Went to Caddo Parish, La., according to James Henry Autrey's letter. There is excellent evidence to support the conclusion that Absalom was the first son of Cornelius Autrey, including the fact that he may have been named after Cornelius' father, although he went to Union Parish, La., not Caddo Parish. b. Alsista - Born about 1803/04, North Carolina, according to the 1850 & 1860 censuses. She married Starling Ruffin Price 1 Feb. 1823 in Bibb County, Ala , a period when church records reveal that Cornelius Autrey could have been in Bibb County. Starling and Alsista had moved to Perry County, Ala., by 1830 when they were recorded in the census there as was Cornelius Autrey and his family. The Price family moved to Benton (later Calhoun) County, Ala., by December 1833. Cornelius Autrey moved to Benton County later. (see the entry for Alsista Autrey #) c. Polly - Born ?, A Mrs. Meharg, daughter of Cornelius, lived in Calhoun County, Ala., according to James Henry Autrey's letter. A Polly Autrey married James Maheage(?) (probably Meharg) 23 Dec. 1821, in St. Clair County, Ala., a time when Cornelius Autrey appears to have been living in Bibb or Perry County, Ala. The 1820 St. Clair County, Ala., census records only A. Autrey, with 2 females over age 21 and 1 female under the age of 21 in his household; and H. Autrey, with 1 female over age 21, probably his wife, and 3 females under 21 in his household. It seems more likely to me that she was one of their children. Mrs. Meharg lived in Calhoun County, Ala., according to James Henry Autrey's letter. I have found a James Meharg in several Calhoun County census records: · 1860 - James Meharg, age 59, born in South Carolina, is married to an Elizabeth, who is listed as age 55, born in Tennessee. · 1870 - James Meharg, age 69, born in South Carolina, is married to an Elizabeth, age 67, born in Kentucky. · 1880 - Elizabeth Meharg, a widow age 76, born in Kentucky, is listed in the household of her daughter and son-in-law. d. Bartlett E. - Born about 1805, North Carolina, according to the 1850 census. Bartlett Eaves was bondsman when Bartlett E. Autrey got a marriage bond to wed Nancy Buttler 11 May 1833 in Marengo County, Ala. It seems reasonable to me that Cornelius would name his second son after his father-in-law. Also, Bartlett E. Autrey named his apparently oldest son Cornelius W. Autrey. e. George W. - Born about 1805/05, in Georgia or North Carolina, according to census records. Went to Texas, according to the James Autrey letter. A George Autrey, age 30-39, was recorded in the 1840 Perry County, Ala., census. And a George Autry, age 45, born in Georgia, was recorded in the 1850 Rusk County, Texas, census. He could have been Cornelius' son but he also could have been his nephew because Cornelius may have had a brother named George. It seems to me, that if the ages reported on censuses are correct, both Bartlett and George could not have been Cornelius' sons unless they were twins. And I think Bartlett was more likely Cornelius' son. f. Alsira - Born about 1806/1807, North Carolina, according to census records. Although I have not personally seen the record, I have been told that Cornelius Autrey gave his permission for her to marry Bird Griffin, whom she apparently wed in February 1824 in Perry County, Ala.. So she appears definitely to have been one of Cornelius' children. g. Alexander - Born 1808, according to Bundy & Brooks; went to Alabama, according to Bundy & Brooks and the James Henry Autrey letter. I haven't been able to find an Alexander who could have been Cornelius child. h. Elisabeth - Born about 1809/10, Georgia (1850 Perry County, Ala., census) Married Brian/Briant Smith ca 1827. James Henry Awtrey, Cornelius' son ,called Brian/Briant Smith brother in a letter to brother-in-law Bird Griffin. So she appears to definitely be one of Cornelius' children. i. Unknown daughter - Born about 1811 and married ? Yeager, according to Bundy & Brooks. James Henry Autrey's letter also identified a Mrs. Yeager as one of Cornelius' children, but I have not yet found her. j. Elijah - Born 16 July 1812 in Edgecomb County, N.C., married Amaritta Catherine Wesson 13 July 1840 in Benton County, Ala., and died 29 June 1861 in Pike County, IL, according to Bundy & Brooks Went to Alabama, according to James Henry Autrey's letter. If Elijah was actually born in Edgecomb County, N.C., then it is unlikely that he was a child of Cornelius Autrey because Cornelius and his family had apparently moved to Georgia by 1810 and they had certainly moved to Georgia by 17 Jan. 1812 when Cornelius Autrey swore he witnessed a transaction in Jasper County, GA. k. John Henry Autrey - Born in 1814, according to Bundy Brooks. A John Autrey, son of Cornelius, went to Mississippi, according to James Henry Autrey's letter. I have not been able to identify a John Autrey who was a son of Cornelius Autrey. l. Charity Mai - Born about 1814/1815, Georgia; (1850 Calhoun County, Ala., census) Married Thomas J. Downing 18 Nov. 1832, St. Clair County, Ala. so she was evidently the Mrs. Downing listed as a daughter of Cornelius Autrey in James Henry Autrey's letter. She lived in Benton/Calhoun County, Ala., until she moved to Texas about 1868. She was probably the female, age 16-19, listed on the 1830 census of Cornelius Autrey's household. m. Enoch - Born 1815, according to Bundy & Brooks. An Enoch Autrey married Susan Downing 26 April 1828 in St. Clair County, Ala. (ancestry.com). but it is unlikely that a 13-year-old male could have married in Alabama in 1828. So either the birthday is incorrect or there are two different Enoch Autreys. In any case, I have been unable to identify an Enoch Autrey who was Cornelius Autrey's son. n. Female - Born 1816-1820, according to the 1830 census of Cornelius Autrey's household. o. William - Born 1816, according to Bundy & Brooks. Went to Georgia, according to James Henry Autrey. If William was indeed a son of Cornelius Autrey, then he was most likely born in Georgia, but I have not been able to identify a William Autrey who was a son of Cornelius Autrey. p. Jacob William - Born 1817, according to Bundy & Brooks. A Jacob Autrey, son of Cornelius Autrey, went to Georgia or Mississippi. according to the John Henry Autrey letter. A Jacob Autrey married Lizzie E. Smith 8 Dec. 1856 in Benton County, Ala. I have not been able to identify a Jacob Autrey who was a son of Cornelius Autrey. q. Micajah/Mike Autrey - Born in 1818, according to Bundy & Brooks. Went to Texas, according to John Henry Autrey's letter. The only Micajah Autrey that I am aware of in Texas died at the Alamo. The ancestors of that Micajah Autrey (1794-3/6/1836) have been well researched; he was the son of Theophilus and Elizabeth (Greer) Autry. r. Thomas - Born 1819/20, according to Bundy & Brooks. Went to Louisiana or Texas, according to James Henry Autrey's letter. I have found no Thomas Autrey who I could identify as a son of Cornelius Autrey. s. Commodore P./Cornelius - Born about 1820, Alabama. He may be the male, age 10-14, listed on the 1830 census and the male, age 20-29, listed on the 1840 census of Cornelius Autrey's household. t. Female - born 1821-1825, listed on the 1830 census of Cornelius Autrey's household u. James Henry - Born 1822/1825, Alabama, according to census records Went to Alabama, according to James Henry Autrey's letter. He was probably the male, age 5-9, listed on the 1830 census. and the male, age 15-19 listed on the 1840 census of Cornelius Autrey's household Evidence suggests that he was definitely Cornelius son. v. E.(Elijah?) B. Autrey - Born about 1828, Alabama, Was he the male under 5 on the 1830 census of Cornelius Autrey's household? If so, where was he in 1840? Was he Cornelius Autrey's son or the son of Bartlett E. Autrey?

Hi Andrea, I read with interest your memo concerning your putting on line the parts of the book concerning Autry descendants as I was seriously considering ordering one. I have been researching Nancy Autry of which I am a descendant (married to Thomas Jones) in Obion county Tenn. 1845. I then found out her father was William W. Autry born in N.C. 1792, married to Mary Lane. I can't seem to take it back any farther, I would be so appreciative if you could offer me any help at all. It would clear up my obsession!! Thanks much, and I do plan on reading and enjoying comments from the Autry line, so consider me in please, Thanks, Andrea!!
