Both my John and your John hold similar birth & death dates, their spouses both born in SC around the same time. Because of this researchers on confusing these two ladies and combinding their information. I have found 3 maiden names for the wife of my John, BUSH, REA, MC BRIDE. Our John's I am sure are related somehow, so please keep me in mind if you should find information on his parents. Here is what I found on your family. 1860 Lott's (?) PO, Edgefield County page 23... Jno Autry age 40 b SC, Telitha 37 b SC, Margaret 16, Frances 14 (probably your Florilla?) b SC, John F 6 b SC, Theophelius 4/12 b. SC, there is a Henry Williams age 22 b SC living with them. 1870 Lott's PO, Edgefield County, SC Talitha Autry, Keeping house 47, John F, farmer 16, Theophelus, at home 10. John must have died by July 1870 when the census was taken. 1880 Ward twp, Edgefield County page 439b.. Telitha Autrey 57 Widow, Theophilus, son 20 farmer, William Bush, nephew 22 farm laborer, Ella Williams, niece 12, cook. Ella cannot read or write and possible related to the Henry Williams that was living with John and Telitha in 1860. All born in SC 1900 Ward Twp, Edgefield County, SC page 306a Luis Claxton 50 Sept 1840 owning farm b. SC same as parents, Margaret wife 57 Nov 1842 b SC same as parents, 7 of 11 children living, John A, son 29 Sept 1870 farmer b. SC same as parents, Cora S dau, 19 Jan 1881 b. SC, Nora S, dau 17 Sept 1882 at school b. SC, Maude M, dau 14 Aug 1885 b SC at school, Alma Davide (sp?) g. dau 8 July 1891 b. SC same as parents, Cally Hair (?) nephew 21 July 1878 b. SC same as parents, Talitha Autry M-in-law 74 Jan 1826, 3 of 4 children living. I know I had found Lewis & Margaret Claxton on the 1880 Census which list more of their children, but cannot seem to find the notes right now, but will get that to you as well. John & Telitha were married 4 Nov 1841 in Edgefield County, SC. I am going to assume that Telitha died 18 Aug 1907 and is buried in Johnston, Edgefield County, SC. The death date is listed for the Tabitha Rea I am searching, but seems would fit your Telitha more. Hope the information helps, I know it has been some time since these messages were posted and this may be old news to you by now. If you should have anything on my John Autry, I would love to hear from you. Good luck on your search. Robin
