So here's where I am in my Autrey research, and I'm a bit stuck, so I need some suggestions. Before I start, I want to thank John Hoff for providing me with a considerable amount of this information. Thanks, John. John Autrey (MYSTERY MAN) m. Cynthia Davis on August 1, 1865 in Indiana. 3 children: Andrew Miles Autrey, Selma B. Autrey (these two were paternal twins) born November 22, 1867, and John William Autrey, birthdate unknown. I am descended from John William Autrey. John William had a son named Willie Andrew Autrey, who had a son named Billy Autrey, who had my mother, who had me. John William's 1930 census states that his father was born in "United States". I've found a record mentioning a John Autrey born in 1810 to a Kinchen Autrey in NC. I know that this Kinchens son, also named Kinchen, moved to Indiana and married in 1836. My John Autrey married Cynthia Davis on August 1, 1865 in Indiana. Is it possible that Kinchen had a son named John who went on to marry my Cynthia Davis? I've found no evidence of such, but there just aren't that many Autrey's in the Indiana area in the 1800's. They're all either the Kinchen Autrey family, or my John Autrey and his descendants. There's a K. AUTRY in the 1830 Indiana census noted as having 4 children between the ages of 10 and 15, one under 5 years of age, and one person 50-60. There's also one person between 40 and 50. Could that person under the age of 5 be my John Autrey? It doesn't give a gender, but it would make him mid 30's in 1865. Now, I know it doesn't make sense for this K. Autry to have had that many children 6 years before he married Mary Ashford. Perhaps this K is Kinchen's father Kinchen, having moved from North Carolina? There's also this census record from Daviess County, IN in 1850. Please note that my John Autrey lived with Cynthia Davis in this county.
