Ned And Mary's Bladen County Children
On this page I am going to try and tell about Ned and Mary's
children and some of what I know of their children. I mostly know about my grandfather's
(Oscar Autry) family and some about his younger brother (James Autry) and sister's
(Ada Autry-Whitted) family. Information on Ned and Mary's other children will
simply be what some of the records show and what my uncle's Daniel and Odell can
tell me. If I could get the information I would post all of the grandchildren
and great grandchildren of Ned and Mary's children. I have had no luck in that
area. Feel free to contact me anytime about anything on this site that you may
have questions about or any information that you may want to include.

William Henry Autry I do not know much about Willie. I know quite a
few of his grandchildren that presently lives near the Susie Sandhill and his
great grandchildren that were born and raised in the White Oak area of Bladen
County. I first found Willie living in his father's household in 1900. From 1910-1920,
information shows Willie living in the Turnbull township of Bladen County NC with
his wife Ada who was born sometime around 1888. Ada died sometime around 1926
and some of their children are listed below.

Note: Norman, Edward and Raymond were Williams children with his 2nd
wife Sarah and this list is probably incomplete. Sarah would eventually marry
Preston Lewis of Bladenboro NC after Willie's death.
 Oscar
Autry
Oscar and his wife had a large family of children. There are
close to a hundred grandchildren and hundreds of great grandchildren, I don't
even know them all. Their span on the eastern seaboard covers most states from
Florida to New York and from North Carolina to California east and west.
I see the same thing happening to Oscar's family as did happen to his parents
and grandparents families. Already most of his younger lines of living descendants
cannot even call his name if asked. And I guarantee that his descendants of 2
more generations to come will live their lives and not even have the slightest
idea who he or his wife was. That is one of the main objectives of this page.
Keeping their family history and genealogy at the tips of their fingers.
I first found Oscar living in his father's household in 1900 and 1910. On 11-23-1911
he married Cora Jane Wright who was also from a very large family. This family
was the Wrights and Suttons also of Bladen County. Click
here for more information on the Wrights and Suttons. After their marriage
Oscar and Cora lived in the Colly township of Bladen County for the rest of their
natural lives. Click here to view an image of their family tree which quickly
becomes outdated as I find new information.
Oscar and Cora's children are
listed below. Click on the first letter of their names to view an image of their
immediate families. This information on the individual family member's immediate
families was collected, compiled and presented in a memorial service for Oscar
and Cora that was held at the Pleasant Hill Holiness church on 8-14-1999 by Doretha
Autry-Ellis and other family members. Although it is currently somewhat outdated
it has been a great help to me in bringing each immediate family to the web.

Thomas
Note:Elvin was one of William and Ada's sons but he is
also included as Oscar's child because Oscar and Cora raised him from almost his
first day. He was loved as a son and brother by every member of Oscar's immediate
family and was equally loved as an uncle by all of Oscar's 3rd and 4th generation
of family members.
This is Oscar and Cora's old home place.
A place that has been called home by their children, grandchildren and many great
grandchildren. Their old home has been remodeled by their youngest child, Cleophus
Autry who currently resides there.
This is the road leading into Autry town. This road was only
a dirt path when Oscar began living in the area. These photos were taken one cold
icy day that was not in May. 
Carrie Autry
I found Carrie in 1900 living in her father
Ned Edmund's household. By 1910 she was found married to Acer Richardson and and
living in the Turnbull township of Bladen. She and her family were still to be
found living their in 1930. Some of her children were as follows.

Fletcher Autry 1916 - 1976
Purlie Autry 1892 - 1914
Fletcher and Purley were found living in their father's household in 1900
and 1910. Sometime between 1910 and 1920 they moved to Cleveland Ohio. Somehow
Purley ended up in Youngstown Ohio.
Lossie
Autry 1895 - 1955
..+ Jack Williams
Descendants
of Sallie Autry
1 Sallie Autry 1895 - 1968
.. +Hobart Redus 1900
- 1970
Edward Henry Autry 1899 - 1959
Lossie, Sallie and Ed Henry were found living in their father's household in 1900
and 1910. Lossie and Sally ran away to Ohio sometime between 1910 and 1920 to
live with their brother Fletcher. A few years later Ed Henry followed them to
Ohio. I found them living in the township of Cuyahoga in Cleveland Ohio in 1920.
The household consisted of
1 Fletcher Autry
2 Lossie Autry
3 Sallie Autry
4 Ted Autry (also listed as a brother) Ted was their brother
Edward Henry.
Ed Henry never got married but it has been said that he could
have been the father of Edworth Bordeux. Edworth was one of Rose Johnson-Locke-Carroll's
great grandchildren. Lossie and Sally eventually got married. Sallie married Hobart
Redus. Neither of the sisters ever had any children. I remember aunt Sally very
well.
Wadious Fulford Autry 1898 - 1927
..+Corina
Tatum 1887 - 1955
At this time I don not know any information on Wade.
I think he also tried to live up north somewhere but eventually came back to Bladen.
I am not for sure but I think he is the one that lived in what was called the
"Bud" house. This was a house located near the present day location
of my uncle Edward Grant Autry and his wife Azzie's home. It also seems like I
heard some of the elders say that he has a daughter presently living in some parts
of SC.
Nancy Caroline Eady Rosie 1902 - 1929
I first found Rosie living in her father's household in 1900 and 1910. By
1930 she had married David McKoy. She was the Mother of Harry Lee McKoy and there
was also a daughter born to this union. Nancy was suppose to have been named after
her grandmothers and aunts but I haven't found anyone who could tell me all of
her names yet. Nancy's 4 names that I know played a major role in helping me find
out who Ned and Mary's parents were.

 James
Lonzy Autry
I knew uncle James, his children and his grandchildren
very well but I do not know the name of any of his great grandchildren. Most of
his grandson's and I grew up and played in the dirt together.
James was
first found living with his father and mother in 1910 and 1920. By 1930 James
had married Desi Wright. She was a sister of Cora Wright, Oscar's wife and the
sister of James and Oscar's first cousin Johnny Johnson's wife, Nollie Wright.

Ada Perlean Autry
I knew
aunt Ada and her first husband James Whitted very well. Their only son Winston
Whitted still lives close by their home spot.
I first found Ada living with
her father and mother in 1910 and 1920. I found just her and her mother living
together in 1930. Sometime after that she married James Whitted. Sometime after
James Whitted died she married Mr. Reagan who's first name I cannot recall.
