After Absalom and Elizabeths marriage, their family began to grow at a steady rate. Fifteen children were born between 1827 and 1850: Sarah E., John Mabe, Lucinda, Harriet, Elizabeth Jane, William Norris, Cornelius, James Jackson, Celia J., Robert Martin, Syria, Martha Ann, Thomas Jefferson, Bird Griffin and Charles Henry. All of the children were born in Peny County, Alabama except Charlie Henry Autrey. He was born in Union Parrish, Louisiana.
The land records of North Carolina and Alabama show that the Autreys had been land owners and farmers since they arrived in America, Absalom and Elizabeth Autrey bought 160.24 acres of land from Anthony Wayne and Mary Norris, brother of Elizabeth, on 13 January 1838. It was the southwest quarter of Section 9, Township 19, Range ii in the Cahawba District of Peny County. Today, this land is in Dallas County. The county line between the two counties was changed several times between 1819 and 1850. |
