There is evidently a Micajah Autry Association. They should have his descendants.. I have a Rev. John Autry who is the second husband of my ancestress Margaret (Mattix) Hinds Autry. (I am on the Hinds line). I am pasting his children below in case you get a connection to one of them. His 2nd marriage to my ancestress was in 1846 in Crawford Co. AR where he was chaplain and coroner for Ft. Smith Colonel Zachary Taylor was in charge at Ft. Smith during that period - thence the name of their first born son.
