William Plaisted, Jr. is the father of Harris Forbes Plaisted, m. Emma Howe, who are the parents of my great grandmother Elizabeth Plaisted McMinn. Harris and Emma had another daughter, Marietta in South Dakota, as well. Elizabeth Plaisted and Thomas McMinn had two children, Betty and Tom. Betty married John Brett Autry, and they had three children, one of which is my father, Michael Autry. I'm just getting started at all this and I have found it to be fascinating. thanks for the help!
