I33098: URUOCH of Friuli (0840

Notes

Father: Jeopine AUTREY, spouse unknown. The date and place of Cornelius Autrey's arrival in the Colonies cannot be established at this time. The name Autrey is derived from French and has been spelled many different ways, but the Autrey spelling is used throughout this record for convenience.

His birthplace is not definitely known, but is believed to have been Autrey, Haute Saone, France. The year of his birth is also in question as various sources give 1709 to 1720. The place of his death is also subject to question, with some sources listing Pitt Co. NC instead of Edgecombe.

Some sources indicate that the Autreys were originially french and migrated following the Norman Conquest to what is now Great Britain and eventually moved on the Ireland prior to settling in what is now North Carolina. There is a strong family tradition, which is supported by the 1790 census records, that five Autrey brothers came to America in 1750 to settle in North Carolina.

The first reference to Cornelius Autrey, shown on page 3 of the Bundy/Brooks document, involved a survey of land on January 19, 1754 involving 376 acres of land bordering Autrey's Creek. The fact that the stream was named Autrey's Creek would imply that the Autreys had been there for some time prior to 1754. Over the course of the following 20 years Cornelius' name was associated with several thousand acres of land in Edgecombe County. It is apparent from the records that Cornelius was a prosperous planter.

The records also show that Cornelius gave 340 acres to his son Isom (Isham), 260 acres to his daughter Sarah and her husband George Vickers, and an undisclosed amount of land to his son William Page Autrey. Mayo Bundy thought that William's middle name might be an indication that Cornelius' wife's maiden name might have been Page.

The Bundy/Brooks book only lists eleven children for Cornelius. It does not include Mary, Theopholus, Elizabeth, Elijah, or Rachel. The LDS records include a second John Autrey which is considered a duplication and therefore not included herein.
