I am a direct descendant of him and I am convinced beyond a doubt that his mother was Margaret Ann Mattix (Hinds) Autry. There is in existence a letter written in the 1930's by her granddaughter by one of the hinds children (now long dead) in which she confirms all these details. Also I would like to add that John C. Autry's first wife was named Sarah (maiden name unknown) which I discovered in a Tippah County Miss. land sale record for John C and wife Sarah. -Richard Autry
