Cornelius Powers Autrey, was the son of Cornelius Autrey (c.1770 - c.1847) and supposedly his third wife, ___ (Powers) Autrey. Cornelius Autrey's first wife has been reported to be Winnie (Williams) Autrey. However, his second wife, Nancy (Eaves) Autrey (c. 1784 - c. 1810) is the only wife documented with a marriage date; June 9, 1801 in Rutherford County, North Carolina. Cornelius Powers Autrey was a younger brother of Absalom Autrey and George Oren Autrey. He married Frances Mae Sanderson on 23 January 1843 in Perry County, Alabama.
A head injury while working on a railroad tressel during the Civil War, caused his blindness. Consequently, it also disqualified his service as a soldier during that war. And though blind most of his later life, he was a rural mail carrier in the Kosse area for a number of years. He delivered the mail from his one horse buggie with an accompanying grandchild to put the mail in the proper mailbox.
