Looking for where Millard Autrey/Autry and Heada Jane Lovvorn Autrey/Autry are buried and/or death dates. Heada Jane was born abt. 1853. Millard is thought to be son of Eldridge Autrey and Margaret George Autrey. Thanks John

Would love to brag on my Grand-daughter, Shanna Autry, who has just graduated from the University of Georgia with her Masters degree in Sports Psychology. I'm proud of her accomplishment. Marshall Autry AFA-84

I believe all any of us have is just a family legends that the Autry line is of French origins. And, I'm not sure we have even identified the gateway ancestor. Indeed some Huguenots did settle in various places in the British Isles, including Ireland. I have searched many of them but have not found any listings for Autry (under any spelling I can think of). That does not mean they were not there, but simply that I have yet to find any evidence of it. I have long suspected our line might have come via the British West Indies to South Carolina, but have not located material to prove or disprove this. However, I believe this Cherokee trader, Cornelius Daughtery, is a Daughtery, rather than an Autry. Of course, I've been wrong before.

Richard -- There is a great deal of recorded information about Cornelius Daughtery, an Indian trader of Hiwassee town (also spelled Highwassie), which is now in Tennessee. His name is found variously spelled as: Doharty, Doughtery and Daughtery, etc. Many references to him and letters to/from him can be found in "The Colonial Records of South Carolina," in "Documents relating to Indian Affairs, 1754-1765," edited by William L. McDowell, Jr. and published by SCDAH, 1970; 1992. In December of 1757, he says he is an old man now. Don't know what "old" was in the mid-18th century, but that is the comment made; presume it could be anything from 40-80. Also, in 1760 one reference is to Cornelius Duchart's WOMAN, rather than wife, which indicates that he probably was married to or cohabitated with an Indian woman, and since he was a Cherokee trader, it is most likely that she was of that tribe. What leads you to believe he might be French and that the name might really be d'Autre? All the references I've seen about him say he was Irish (probably Scotch-Irish) and that the name is Daughtery (however it was spelled).

_Letters of Benjamin Hawkins 1796-1806_ , p.108 March 27, 1797 ... on the left bank of this was the town of Quannasee, for many years the residence of Cornelius Daughtertu, an old Irish trader; at present there is nothing remaining of the old town except the open flats where were formerly the corn fields... ....................... This location was in the valley of the Hiwassee River, probably in the southern edge of what is now the state of Tennessee... and was far advanced beyond the frontier, in the heart of Cherokee Indian territory.

This "Daughtertu" was an Indian trader. The spelling under which I found Quannasee was Quanasee. Was this man "our" Cornelius Autry? <G> Richard White Tallahassee, FL

Hi All, I'm looking for information about where Gene Autry (THE Gene Autry) lived as a youth. I'm told that Gene was born six miles west of Tioga, Texas, in Cooke County, Texas, on September 29, 1907. One biography states that Gene's family moved from Tioga, Texas, to Achille, Oklahoma, when Gene was an infant. An "autobiography" of Gene indicates that Gene's family moved to Ravia, in Johnston County, Oklahoma, when Gene was "about 15", and that Gene "finished high school" in Ravia. Another source indicates that Gene's family moved from Achille back to Tioga before moving to Ravia. Another source indicates that Gene "grew up" in Ravia. I don't know dates on any of the moves, nor do I know how long the Autry family remained at Ravia once they settled there. There are stories (and they may be only stories) in my Reed-Bullard-Patton family about a relationship with Gene's parents at Tioga, Texas, and about attending school with Gene at Stonewall, in Pontotoc County, Oklahoma. This supposedly occured during the early teens, and there is mention of Gene roping some of the older boys during recess. I'm trying to determine whether these family stories might have a basis in fact. I would appreciate help from anyone who knows anything about where Gene Autry "really" lived between 1907 and 1923. Thank you, Mike Landwehr

Hey, I have changed! Well, not really, but my address has! Please send all my good stuff to: archautry@knology.net Sorry to be so much trouble! Marshall

Interesting. I thought the name (a Biblical one) is a variant spelling of Micaiah -- which is pronounced mi-KA ya -- an Old Testament prophet mentioned I Kings 22 and II Chronicles 18. The name is also found spelled Michaiah in the Bible, but pronounced the same as above. There were more than one person by this name mentioned in the Scriptures.

I would have to believe in Roberts version of the correct pronunciation of Micajah. I have talked with some of the Autrryville folks about it and was given the same answer as he got. As for the origin I believe it to be Biblical, a corruption of Macaiah who is mentioned in Kings and Chronicles. Marshall Autry

I have received another opinion regarding the pronunciation of the name, Micajah, which has caused me to change the way I pronounce it. Jean Faircloth, who lives near Autryville, NC, writes that they "pronounce it Mi-ka-ja or with the nickname 'Cage' ". She said that anyone there named Micajah was called "Cage". Corresponding with her, it appears that the central "a", which is the main stumbling block, is pronounced there with a long "a" as in CAGE. I was intrigued to find that it is still a family name in NC. Therefore, I have given up my broad "a". Since I never met anyone with that name, it was easy to change! It is difficult to convert the pronunciation to a written phrase, and the first syllable might vary depending on whether the "i" is pronounced with a long "i" as in "my". But most names are spoken rapidly so this would not change the pronunciation appreciably. My conclusion is that Micajah is pronounced: mi-CAGE-a or my-CAGE-ah or mah-CAGE-ah or muh-CAGE-uh. All of these are similar, and if in doubt, use the nickname, Cage . Now, if anyone knows the derivation of the name, that would answer another question for me. Robert Autry Brooks

Re the pronunciation of Micajah: I suspect the pronunciation of the name changed depending on what part of the country he was in! I have always pronounced it MI-KA-JU. I think this is the pronunciation most common in NC. You could write to the Librarian at the Sampson Co Library, Clinton, NC and see what pronunciation they use. They gets lots of queries re Micajah, but don't have much information on him. Another possibility, you could contact the Library of the Daughters of the Texas Revolution at the Alamo, San Antonio, TX. They have a comprehensice collection and may have something related to pronunciation. I suspect the pronunciation with the silent J or the J pronounced as an H, reflects the Spanish pronunciation which may have been used in Texas or in Mexico, since the J is pronounced as an H in Spanish. That is the limit of my thoughts on this. It reminds me that one has to look under the O's for Autry since some in the South pronounced it as Otterey. Or the more interesting spelling noted in the AFA Bulletin some years ago where someone found it spelled: Altree. Robert Autry Brooks

My folks always pronounced the "j".At 10:00 AM 2/10/01 -0800, you wrote: >AUTRY-D Digest Volume 01 : Issue 2 > >Today's Topics: > #1 Re: AUTRY-D Digest V01 #1 [CHarris575@aol.com] > #2 Re: AUTRY-D Digest V01 #1 [SJGreer30@aol.com] > >Administrivia: >To unsubscribe from AUTRY-D, send a message to > > AUTRY-D-request@rootsweb.com > >that contains in the body of the message the command > > unsubscribe > >and no other text.

I think things have slowed down a bit.... Here is who I am researching: Micajah Autry of the Alamo Massacre. Does anyone know how to say his name? In our family we have said it with a silent j or "Mi-ci-hah" Sara Greer

I've been really busy and will be out of town for a couple of weeks, but plan on getting on with research in March. Cheryl

I have not received anything from the list since 10/19/00. I have contacted Andrea and she has assured me all is well. Is anyone else having this same problem or is it that everyone has slowed down on their research? Joy
