This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Mattix-Hinds-Autry Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/idB.2ACEB/274 Message Board Post: Hi: I am a descendant of Margret Ann Mattix, dau. of Edward Mattix & Eliz Bond. Margaret first married a David HInds in 1827 in Lawrence Co. AR. She married 2nd to a Rev. John Autry. Some Autry researchers think that her maiden name was Taylor because she named her first son by her 2nd husband Zachary Taylor Autry. The Autry researchers did not know she has been married previously. In fact, her husband Rev. John Autry was the chaplain for the army post at Ft. Smith where a Colonel Zachary Taylor (later Pres. Taylor) was posted. So, we ASSUME that they named their son after this colonel. I am sending this message to ward off further mis-conceptions about the maiden name of Margaret Ann Mattix in case any descendants of Zachary Taylor Autry use this message board. Nan Wolf
