Regarding John C Autry (my GGF): One child, or two, were born in Mississippi per the 1850 Crawford Co Ark census. It is hard to tell if the second child was born in "MI or MO", at least on the films I have seen. But he was in Crawford Co, AR, by 8-19-46 when he married Mrs Margaret Hinds. This accounts for the gap in children from the first wife and second wife, Marg Mattix (HInds). This was about the only time he did not produce a child every two years!, which I guess is how he got to 19 children?? I think Richard Autry (or I?) posted the land deed of John C and Sarah Autry in Tippah Co, MS on the net a few weeks ago. I believe it was in 1843. As usual, the surname of the wife was not given. So there is a little more info that seems documentable. Robert Autry Brooks
