The African American Autry Families of Southeast North Carolina:
Samuel Autry
SAMUEL AUTRY was born in 1830 in Sampson County near Clinton, North
Carolina in the Taylor’s Bridge Township. He married CLARY PARRISH,
daughter of JOHN PARRISH and DISEY LARKINS. CLARY was born on May
14, 1857.
The 1870 US Census indicated that SAMUEL lived in the Sampson County
township of Taylor’s Bridge with his 1 year old son named JOHN.
His wife, CLARY PARRISH, lived next door with her parents, JOHN and
DISEY PARRISH.
In addition to SAMUEL, an elderly woman named CHASSY AUTRY also
lived in the Taylor’s Bridge Township in Sampson County during
1870. She was listed as 75 year old black woman living with PRIMUS
and JULIA MATTHEWS. The MATTHEW’s home was not far from the
home of SAMUEL and JOHN AUTRY. It is likely that CHASSY was the
mother of SAMUEL. The MATTHEW’s next door neighbors were a
white family; JOHN and ANN PARRISH.
In 1880, CLARY PARRISH, her parents, and SAMUEL AUTRY were all
living in the Holden Township in Pender County, North Carolina.
CLARY died on June 3, 1929 in Burgaw, North Carolina.
Children of SAMUEL AUTRY and CLARY PARRISH are:
A. JASPER JOHN AUTRY
B. WALTER JIM
C. JANE A. AUTRY
D. JULIA AUTRY
E. JUNOR AUTRY
F. CALLIE AUTRY
G. MARY SUSAN AUTRY
H. ALICE AUTRY
I. SAM GREENLEAF AUTRY
Costan is also a possible blood relative or slave relative to Ned
Edward. He has been found to be associated with the same people that
were closely associated with Ned and other immediate members of his
family. He must have been the person that Ned's son Isaac followed
to different parts of northeastern Cumberland County.
I found Costan and his family living

Autry's grandmother, Phyllis Herring of Bladen County, in 1880 with a nephew Daniel

By 1930 Walter's son James F Autry was still living
in Black River and was married to a woman named Gertrude. James was 25 and she
was listed as being 23. Incidentally, Gertrude was the daughter of William Boykin
and wife Dora Autry-Boykin who was the daughter of Isaac Autry. Costan's grandson
married Isaac's granddaughter.
