Hi, Mollie -- I have a collateral AUTRY family that might connect with yours. I have only information I've collected on the Internet and have not researched them otherwise. Maybe there will be clues for you. One of them married a 4th great aunt of mine. Here's what I have: Jacob AUTRY & Elizabeth COOK -- no further info on them except they had a son Jacob Brown AUTRY (d. 1856, MS) who married Temperance "Tempe" EMBREY, dau. of Reuben EMBREY & Nancy UNKNOWN. Temperance was the 4th great aunt I mentioned. She was born ca. 1802 (estimated) and died 1848 in Texas. Children: George Monroe; John A.; and Temperance -- I don't know if there were others. I have no further info on John A. or Temperance. George Monroe AUTRY (b. Jan 4, 1842, Salem, MS & d. Feb. 15, 1907, Rockport, TX; buried in Kenedy, Karnes Co, TX) One "n" is correct in Kenedy. George Monroe married Angeline Elmina WILSON on Dec. 17, 1857 Chewalla, McNairy Co, TN. Angeline was a dau. of Thomas Beach WILSON, and had at least one sibling, Amelia WILSON. Amelia also m. an EMBREY (see info below). Children of George Monroe AUTRY & Angeline Elmina WILSON: J.B. (Jacob Brown?) - no further John W. (died at age 13) - no further William J. (died at age 15) - no further Bettie - no further George - no further James D. - no further Mary - no further Rosa - no further Lena - no further Amelia WILSON & Jasper Anderson "Jap" EMBREY (1828, TN-1870, Ripley, Tippah Co, MS) had the following children: Thomas Allen, 1854; H.E., 1855; Sophronia A., 1857; W.S., 1860; H. Joseph, 1861; Jasper Thurston, 1866. That'a all I have on this family. I hope something here will help you or someone else. Remember, I've not proven this out for myself and just use as a guide. Good luck in your search! Becky
