Regarding the origin of Cornelius Autry, Immigrant, in the first pages of the First Chapter of the Autry/Culbreth book, Mayo Bundy discusses the origin. Cousin Mayo spent 60 years hunting the origin of Cornelius, but never felt he found it. He does mention that a Capt Autry was in the navy off the Americas in 1585. He also comments that an Alex Autray was in NC 16 yrs before any mention of Cornelius. He could have been a brother, father or unrelated. He also comments on the possible Irish connection. I think Mayo may be correct in that they could have come to England with William the Conqueror abt 1066, since so many French names in GB derive from that. So the mystery goes on. If it solved, I think it will have to be in England/Ireland/Scotland, if it can be solved at all. Robert Autry Brooks
