On November 12, 1817, a petition written by H. Toulmin was sent to Congress from Ft. Stoddert: Petition from citizens from Clarke, Monroe, Washington, Mobile and Baldwin Cos., Alabama Territory, against incorporation within Mississippi. This petition contains the names of most of the citizens of those counties in 1817, including Alexander Autry and William Autry. I am searching for information on these two families. You may email me at esleslie@bellsouth.net if you prefer rather than replying here. Thanks! Evelyn
