Since we don't all know each other, I was wondering if you would be interested in a "roll call", with you and how you descend. I'll start! Marie (Meg) Gentry Bookout (1953-) Dale Lewis Gentry (1932-) Arthur Marion Gentry (1907-1996) Clyde William Gentry (1881-1971) Pinkney Burton Gentry (1843-1933) Allen D. Gentry (1791-1853) Meshack Gentry (1748-1846) Allen A. Gentry (1730-1802) Samuel Gentry (1695-1789) Nicholas Gentry (1655-1710)
This isn't really very straightforward - but will give it a shot. My Gr. Gr. Grandmother was married twice - first to a GENTRY (the FEW details I have will follow) and then to a Brooks, which is the line from which I descend. However, since the children from her first marriage are half-sisters to my grandmother, I very much want more information on her first husband ... (make sense, I hope????) Anyway, here is the very very very little bit of information I have: Mary Elizabeth Sherrill - b May 7, 1850 in Missouri (no idea where in Missouri), d May 25, 1923 in E. St. Louis (St. Clair Co.), IL She married George Gentry somewhere around 1869. All their children were born in Missouri. Their children were: Rose Ellen Gentry - b ca 1869 Rachel S. Gentry - b ca 1870 m HONAY Margaret E. Gentry - b ca 1872, d 1953, m 1) HARRIS 2) GRAHAM Dorries Hentietta Gentry - b May 22, 1874 in Iron City, Iron Co., MO, d May 25, 1958 in Cornwall Ct, m John W. BERNER Minnie B. Gentry - b ca 1877, d February 26, 1972, m 1) J. S. CONWAY 2) Claude E. TALLEY Mary Elizabeth (Sherrill) Gentry appears in the 1880 Reynolds Co., MO census ... as a widow, and with the above listed children. If the data in the census listing is correct, it lists these childrens' father as being born in TN. On January 2, 1881, she married my Gr. Gr. Grandfather, David Alxander Brooks. There were 6 children from this marriage, one of whom was my grandmother, Hallie Brooks. The girls all stayed in touch for the most part, and I have a bit of information on them (with the exception of Rose Ellen and Rachel S.) ... but know nothing about George Gentry or the two girls mentioned in the previous sentence. Can anyone help????? Thanks! Cathie
has anyone got a ALLEN L, GENTRY born 1849??in their family? he married MISSOURI ESTES born 1857, he married her in 1871, in stone county mo,would appricate any help, think his father was DAVID GENTRY I don,t have a lot on my GENTRYS, THANKS,[email protected]
My line is: Nicholas I (England & VA) Samuel (VA & NC) Joseph (VA & NC) Samuel VA, NC & KY) Agnes Gentry who married John Sherman Phillips (NC, KY & IN) Mary (Polly) Phillips who married Armer Reed (KY & IN) Martha Reed who married Jacob Kissel (IN) William Kissel (IN) Elza (Elsie) Kissel who married Nobel White (IN & MO) Ruth White who married James Glover Cathie Glover Meek [email protected]
My Line Bill Dodd 1934 Mable Louise Mitchener 1908-1968 Stella Belle Gentry 1883-1972 Robert Marion Gentry 1856-1940 Jacob Gentry 1822-1894 Micajah Gentry 1797-1841 Elisha Gentry 1746-1803 David Gentry 1718-1765 Samuel Gentry 1695-1789 Nicholas Gentry 1655-1755 Samuel Gentry 1630-1655 Bill
I like the idea.............. Billy Joe Gentry (1951-) Milton Stovall Gentry (1914-1980) Ezra Stovall Gentry (1885-1918) Nathaniel Stovall Gentry (1860-1943) John C. Gentry (1835-1862) Wish I could go farther.........
Envious of those of you who can go back many generations in your Gentry line! Sara Binkley Tarpley (1947-) Mary Louise Gentry Binkley (1911-) Zebulun Beard Gentry (1875-1937) William M. Gentry (Between 1842-1848 - 1926) George W. Gentry (Abt. 1823-1864) My Gentrys were from Buncombe and Madison Counties, NC. One cousin believes that George's father may have been Elias Gentry, b. VA, supposedly the brother of John N. Gentry, Jesse Gentry, and Thomas Gentry who first appear in Buncombe County in 1820. Sara Binkley Tarpley
That was really cute. We enjoyed it. Hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday season. Tony Gentry and Judy
I found this on another surname page and thought it was cute. Enjoy. DEB All I Want For Christmas Dear Santa: Don't bring me new dishes; I don't need a new kind of game. Genealogists have peculiar wishes; For Christmas I just want a surname. A new washing machine would be great, But it isn't the desire of my life. I've just found an ancestor's birth date, Now I need the name of his wife. My heart doesn't yearn for a ring that would put a real diamond to shame. What I want is a much cheaper thing: Please give me Martha's last name. To see my heart singing with joy, Don't bring me a red leather suitcase. Bring me a genealogist's toy: A surname, with dates and a place. == Author Unknown >>
And a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours, Norma. Marianne

Howdy folks! Awhile back I posted info about my gg-grandfather, Pinkney Burton Gentry. He was born in Monroe County TN in March1843. Someone sent me e-mail about another Pinkney Gentry who married Rebecca Kimbrough. It wasn't MY Pinkney, so I didn't follow up. Well, silly me. First rule? In genealogy, ALWAYS pay attention to even the smallest of clues <grin>. I have found that the "other" Pinkney was James Pinkney Gentry, the son of Pleasent M. Gentry, who was "my" Pinkney's much older half-brother. James Pinkney was less than a year older than Pinkney Burton, but was his half-uncle. I think (haven't proven it yet!) that Pinkney went to live with Pleasent and his family after his parents (Allen D. Gentry and Susan Ivey) died, leaving him an orphan at 9. In the 1860 Monroe County census, there are two Pinkneys of the same age living in Pleasent's household. Who woulda thunk there could be TWO Pinkney Gentrys? Now to the POINT of this e-mail-WHO sent me the note about the Pinkney who married Rebecca Kimbrough? Are you on the Gentry list, I hope? Thanks for your patience. Meg Gentry Bookout
