Sarah, there are several entries at the museum at the Alamo in San Antonio,TX about Micajah Autry , including letters he wrote and received from his wife. We went there in 1970's and saw a portrait also hanging on the walls. The daughters of the Alamo runs this site and the web site is www.drtl.org/geninfo.html . I have not been on this site in about 6 months, but I got a lot of info from them and the library. They also have a family registry there that has stories and signatures of members of the family that have visited etc. ,many that have since died themselves. Good luck!
