Hi Elaine,

This Sheila is listing the children of Cornelius as listed in Mayo Bundy's book. Mayo assumed that the Absalom who moved to St. Clair Co., AL (and died there) to be the son of Cornelius. And that may be correct....there is no documentation . I do not think Mayo did any research in Georgia and I doubt he even knew there was another Absalom until after his first book was published.

Sources: 1.Title: Meryl Sherwood Post on net 2.Author: V. Mayo Bundy and Robert Autry Brooks Title: The Descendants of Cornelius Autry, Immigrant, of Edgecombe Co., NC and of Neil Culbreth of Sampson Co., NC, and Allied Publication: Herb Eaton Historical Publications / 1996 3.Note: Bible pages scanned by Drue Combs http://members.aol.com/druecombs/Bible.htm Meryl Sherwood Post on net dtd. 12/26/98

This is, also, the same Absalom written about in the book by Jeannie Murphy and Jo Autrey...it says he had a son, Cornelius, who moved to Perry Co., AL and was the father of the Absalom who went to LA. I did enough research on the Absalom who wa s a Tory and who went to Alabama to know that he was a different man to our Absalom who went to Georgia.

You do not have all of the children of Absalom and Lucy in the attachment:

Children of Absalom and Lucy Awtrey:

1 Absalom Awtrey 1750 - 1833 .. +Lucy ? - 1818 ......... 2 Isaac Awtrey 1775 - 1842 ............. +Arminta Bankston 1782 - 1861 ......... 2 Molly Awtrey 1775 - ............. +Solomon Patrick ......... 2 John A. Awtrey 1780 - 1839 ............. +Elizabeth "Betty" Hill 1795 - 1868 ......... 2 Drucilla Awtrey 1781 - 1843 ............. +George Hedsputh Moore - 1843 ......... 2 Lucy Awtrey ............. +Allen Bonner ......... 2 Nancy Awtrey ............. +David Treadwell ......... 2 Patricia Awtrey ............. +William Strawn ......... 2 Jacob Awtrey 1789 - 1859 ............. +Nancy Hill 1793 - 1852 ......... *2nd Wife of Jacob Awtrey: ............. +Eliza Hill Smith 1802 - 1868 ......... 2 Temperance Awtrey 1792 - ............. +William Bankston ......... 2 Elizabeth Awtrey 1793 - 1851 ............. +William Hill 1791 - 1840 ......... 2 Pricilla Awtrey Unknown - ............. +Daniel Strawn

This list was given to my by Bernard S. Awtrey in the the 70's and he said that his "Uncle John" had done the research. I have never tracked all of them down, but have corresponded with descendants of many of them.

Your #6 source listed "Bob Deal"....could you tell me who he is and if you think he is part of my Deal family. If so, I would like to correspond with him. There was a Deal family left in Georgia whom I have never gotten connected with..he ma y be that connection.
