My gg grandfather was John Baptist Autry m to Martha Moore, their daughter Elizabeth A. Autry m Sacker Dubberly were my g grandparents. John and Martha were married in Georgia. Do you think there is any connection? Dolores

There may be a connection. I am trying to get documentation to prove this line. Family history says that my ggg grandfather was John Baptist Awtrey married to Elizabeth Hill. Jacob Awtrey's bible just shows him as John Awtrey. Another researcher says he was John A. Awtrey and married twice: #1 Elizabeth HIll, #2 Martha Moore. Do you have a list of the children of John Baptist Awtrey and Martha Moore? My gg grandmother was Clarissa Awtrey. Some researchers list her mother as Martha Moore. According to my records she was born in 1822. Elizabeth Hill Awtrey died in 1832. I also have a John Manning Awtrey born in 1834 and O.P. Awtrey born in 1850. John Manning Awtrey's mother had to be someone other than Elizabeth. I believe O.P. is not John Baptist Awtrey's son, maybe a grandson. --- DOE4SURE@aol.com wrote: > My gg grandfather was John Baptist Autry m to Martha > Moore, their daughter > Elizabeth A.

Dolores... Is there a connection to who? At what place or places are they known to have lived in Georgia? Do you know how they learned a living or other pertinent facts? What are their exact birth and death dates if you have those, and if not, approximate ones. Always: Who, what, when & where! My 2-great grandfather was John English Autry. He was from Sumter County, Georgia, and his father was John Autry of Sumter County. This John Autry is thought to be a son of Captain John Autry. After Captain John Autry was murdered and scalped by Creek Indians on the banks of Richland Creek near Scull Shoals on the Oconee River on 2 February 1788, his widow disposed of his lands in that area and apparently moved to South Carolina. As I understand it, John Autry is thought to have grown and raised a large family in SC before moving to Sumter County, Georgia. Then he married my 3-great grandmother Barbara ("Bubby") Rebecca McMillian (McMillan) the widow of James Murphy, and had a whole 'nuther family in Sumter County, Georgia, where he lived to be over 80 years of age. John English Autry married my 2-great grandmother Mary McQuien (McQueen) and served in the 64th Georgia Infantry in the Confederate Army. I am not sure that they stayed in Sumter County. I don't find them in the 1860 census there or anywhere else and I have never found a marriage record for them... but in about 1869 they moved to Decatur County, Georgia, and he died there soon after from consumption (tuberculosis) contracted on military duty. The thing about John Autrys is that they were thick as fleas on a hound. Every line has them all over it. Someone may know the specific place in one of the lines for a John Baptist Autry, but I don't. It won't help you find John Baptist Autry, but if you are interested in more detailed history on some of "my" line of the Autry family, see: http://pone.com/ts/rw000.htm RW DOE4SURE@aol.com wrote: >My gg grandfather was John Baptist Autry m to Martha Moore, their daughter >Elizabeth A.
