Bio
Mary "Polly" Baker was the 7th of the 13 children born to Obed and Mary (Fore) Baker before they left Alabama for Bastrop and Lee Counties in Texas. The Bakers moved to Montgomery County, TX, in the 1860s and that is where Mary met A.B. Autrey. They were married there in 1868. They had six children together as is shown by the 1880 census of Fort Bend County, Texas. Only three of the children would live to adulthood. No further record has been found of those who died young: Andy J. born about 1874 -75; and the twins a boy and a girl -Albert and Bertie born in 1879-80. Mary's location in 1900 has not been determined but by 1910, she was living with a niece, Nancy Stovall, in Coleman County. In 1918, she is shown in the Austin, Texas, City Directory as being a resident of the Confederate Woman's Home. Mary was listed twice in the 1920 U.S. Census. On 2 January 1920, she was enumerated as a resident of the Confederate Woman's Home in Austin, but she was also enumerated later that month in the household of her brother, Wm Bethel Baker in Coleman. It is more likely she was simply visiting at his home as she was living at the Confederate Veterans' Women's Home in Austin, when she died in 1922. She was laid to rest by her son, A. B. "Nonnie" Autrey, Jr. who preceded her in death.
