I agree that the Posey Co., IN William Moutrey was not my ancestor William Moutrey b. 1805 KY. But they may have been relatives.
The Will of James Moutray, Sr. who died in Posey Co., IN in 1819 listed sons George, Joseph and James. Also the Alsup Family Tree (Mary Latham, My Alsup Family) lists George Moutray as a son of James Moutray, Sr.
According to a message board posting by Neva Hendrix 13 Nov 2003: James H. Moutray b 01-23-1788 in Orange County, NC
d 01-13-1864 in Crawford County, MO
In 1806, he fought Indians in Kentucky.
During the War of 1812 Mr. Moutray joined a company of militia that was formed to quell an Indian uprising in the Missouri territory. (This is James Moutray's, Sr.'s son) and it shows that these Moutrey/Moutray's were in Kentucky before James, Sr. went to Posey Co., IN and James H. Moutray went to Crawford Co., MO.
I'm hoping to find some confirmation that my ancestor, William Moutrey, b. 1805, KY was a grandson of James Moutray, Sr. and that his father was George Moutrey.
