allen May I suggest the Robert Autry Brooks that is on the Autry Rootsweb page. He wrote the Autry book that I have along with Mayo Bundy and may well know. Until I got this book I did not know that Mayo was the beloved Principal of Kelly School until they did away with the high school there in the late 1930's. Mr Bundy died in his 80's in a wreck just before the Autry book was published. Kay

Hi Claudia. Which Heritage Book do you want checked at the Archives? I'm assuming that the Wilkes county you are asking about is North Carolina and not Georgia. Wilkes was named for John Wilkes "who was a violent opponent of the Tory party in England. He was not allowed to take his seat in Parliament to which he had been elected. The Americans imagined that he was suffering in the cause of liberty and named this county in his honor.."
