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
