I think the Hiram Autrey in Hardin County, Tenn., in the 1830 census is the same Hiram Autrey who can be found in the 1840 and 1850 Sevier County, Ark., censuses. Enoch was probably one of his sons.
I say that because:
Enoch was born in 1813 in Georgia (1850 Hardin County, Tenn. census). His father, Hiram, probably moved to Georgia from North Carolina with his father and several siblings by 1810.
Hiram was in St. Clair County, Ala., in 1820 (census), living near his father, Absalon.
Hiram may have been in Mississippi by 1825 because son Hiram Jr. was born in Mississippi about then (1850 Sevier County, Ark., census).
Hiram was probably in Tennessee around 1828 because daughter Mary was born about then in Tennessee (1850 Sevier County, Ark., census).
Hiram appears to have definitely been in Tennessee in 1830 because daughter Elizabeth was born in Tennessee about then (1850 Sevier County, Ark., census).
Hiram was probably the H. Autry who, along with E. Autry, was enumerated in the 1837 Tishomingo County, Mississippi, state census.
He appears to have moved around a lot.
Hiram's Sevier County probate records (he died in 1857) list two sons, John and Hiram A. Jr., and two daughters, Mary Falkner, wife of James W. Falkner (he was her second husband), and Elizabeth Lynch, who married John Lynch in 1846 in Sevier County, but was living sans husband in the large Sevier County household of Ewing Belsha in 1850.
The probate records also say Hiram had four other heirs who were unknown to the administrator of his estate.
The only John Autrey living in Arkansas in 1850 was the John C. Autrey enumerated in Sebastian County, Ark., census that year. He was born about 1810, North Carolina and, I think, is probably not Hiram's son.
Another John Autrey was living in Sevier County in 1860 (census). He was born about 1822 in Alabama and seems to me to be a more likely candidate for Hiram's son John.
What do you think??
