=====================
BIRTH
James Cornelius Autry was born the third son of John Autry & Barbara "Bubby" (nee McMillian) Autry.
Bubby Autry was the Widow of John Murphy.
MILITARY SERVICE
April 5th, 1863
James Autry was enrolled in Company G, 64th Georgia Infantry Regiment in Macon, Georgia. That is the same unit, the same time, and the same place as John English Autry.
DEATH
May 20th, 1863
James C. Autry died of disease at the Confederate Hospital at Quincy, Florida, less than 7 weeks after enlistment.
BURIAL
May 1863
James C. Autry is most likely buried in the "Soldiers Cemetery" which is a grassy area surrounded by an iron fence within the Eastern Cemetery, which can be entered from the north side of U.S. Highway 90 near the eastern edge of the town of Quincy.
There is no known list still existing of those who were interred there. The only marker is a small one saying:
" UNKNOWN. C.S.A. 1861.-65. "
SURVIVORS PENSION
James Autry's wife, Martha, made an attempt through an attorney in Sumter County, Georgia, to collect the pay and enlistment bounty that was due to her husband. She was apparently not successful in that effort. The reason for this lack of success is not clear, but it appears that the Confederate Second Auditor's Office (the entity responsible for such matters), could find no official report of James Autry's death, and that the matter was not pursued further.
