Surnames: Autry, Autrey Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/idB.2ACEB/286.2 Message Board Post: Newsom(e) is a very common name for North Carolina Autry's from the 1700's to the present day, and you are correct that both John and William had sons named Newsom. I also am descended from William and his son Newsom A. Autry, Sr. through Newsom Autry, Jr., his son Calton(aka Calvin) and Calton's son James ( my great grandfather). Marshall Thomas Autry was my (half) 3rd great granduncle. Much of Marshall's family as well as Marshall himself lived and is buried off Maxwell Road in the Eastover Township( Flea Hill) of Cumberland County, NC. Marshall's tombstone is in an old Geddie Family cemetery in the woods near there. Unfortunately, it was too dark there to get a good picture of it.
