I am new on this listserv! My ancestors are mostly from the Surry County area of North Carolina. I am NOT experienced in genealogy but do have an interest in finding out more about my family. Is there anyone else on this listserv who is knowledgable about the Willie or Wylie Gentry family in Surry County, N.C.??????? Dennis Gentry - Enjoy life!

I am looking for information on Reynolds Gentry, who is listed on the 1830 Monroe County TN census as: Reynolds Gentry males: one - age 30-40 females one - age 10-15 one - age 30-40 There are two other Gentry families on this census (Meshac, my 4th great grandfather; and Allen D. Gentry, his grown son who was also in the 30-40 age). WHO is Reynolds? Is he another of Meshac's sons? A cousin? I dunno. Reynolds is an unusual name, and I haven't found it as a family pattern, so..... hints? clues? My Gentrys were in VA then NC and TN. Some of them stayed, and some moseyed west. Thanks folks!

I have been working on collecting all in information on Gentry's in Alabama for the past three years. It looks like it will take many more years, if you would like to send information and get credit for your work and copy of all the collection (by email). I am looking for the following categories: 1. Census 2. Cemetery 3. Name (birth/death/spous) 4. Just anything Harvey Eugene Gentry P.S. I am not going to sell this, I just enjoy collecting my family roots. thanks

Hello Tyree Gentry Researchers, Here is a list of Tyree/Tyre/Tyrey (etc) Gentry mentions. 1. 1800 Tyrey Gentry Tax list Franklin Co. GA 2. 1801 Tyce Gentry Tax list Franklin Co. GA 3. 1811 Tirey Gentry a witness to a deed of William Gentry's in Stewart County TN. Deed book 4, p. 280, recorded May term 1812. Land on Loss or Lost Creek which flows into the Tennessee River from the North. 4. 1820 Census of the Territory of Arkansas (Reconstructed) by James Logan Morgan, 1984 Reprinted by Arkansas Research, PO Box 303, Conway, AR 72032, 1992. In his reconstruction Mr. Morgan went through all extant and accessible records of the territory 1819-1821 and 4 petitions circulated in 1818 in what was to be Pulaski County. He was careful to include the names only if it could be proved that the person was in the county. I do not have his references for Gentry. I believe the John Gentry reference below in 1819 was the one in which John Gentry was the administrator for the estate of Livina and Ruey Corzine both deceased under the age of 21. His securities were Thomas Holt and John Little, Jr. There was a Reuben Corzine deceased 1816, bond of Jane Corzine, administratrix "with-will-annexed" 24 Dec 1816, her securities were George Corzine and William Robinson. Reuben Corzine was alive 25 June 1816, when he was named as security for George Corzine. GENTRY, David in Pulaski County 1820 and questionable in 1821 GENTRY, John in Lawrence 1819 GENTRY, Live in Lawrence 1819 GENTRY, Nancy in Lawrence 1819 GENTRY, Simon in Lawrence 1819 and 1820 GENTRY, Tyre in Lawrence 1820 GENTRY, William in Clark County 1819, 1820, 1821 WARD, James in Lawrence County in 1820. My husband's ancestors are James WARD and Mildred Clark GENTRY. It has been assumed that James and Mildred GENTRY came to Clark County Arkansas Territory the same time as William Gentry. I can not prove this one way or another. The James Ward in Hempstead County 1820 cannot be proved to be my husband's and appears---at this point to be someone else. I can prove James Ward was in Clark County a bit later. 1829 Tiry Gentry Tax list Clark Co.

He utilized agents behind enemy lines, recruited both Tory and Patriot sources, interrogated travelers for intelligence information, and launched scores of agents on both intelligence and counterintelligence missions. He was adept at deception operations and tradecraft and was a skilled propagandist. He also practiced sound operational security. As an intelligence manager, Washington insisted that the terms of an agent's employment and his instructions be precise and in writing, composing many letters of instruction himself. He emphasized his desire for receiving written, rather than verbal, reports. He demanded repeatedly that intelligence reports be expedited, reminding his officers of those bits of intelligence he had received which had become valueless because of delay in getting them to him. He also recognized the need for developing many different sources so that their reports could be cross-checked, and so that the compromise of one source would not cut off the flow of intelligence from an important area. Washington sought and obtained a "secret service fund" from the Continental Congress, and expressed preference for specie, preferably gold: "I have always found a difficulty in procuring intelligence by means of paper money, and I perceive it increases." In accounting for the sums in his journals, he did not identify the recipients: "The names of persons who are employed within the Enemy's lines or who may fall within their power cannot be inserted." He instructed his generals to "leave no stone unturned, nor do not stick to expense" in gathering intelligence, and urged that those employed for intelligence purposes be those "upon whose firmness and fidelity we may safely rely." Drawing: Washington conferring with one of his agents Washington's Intelligence Officers Washington retained full and final authority over Continental Army intelligence activities, but he delegated significant field responsibility to trusted officers. Although he regularly urged all his officers to be more active in collecting intelligence, Washington relied chiefly on his aides and specially-designated officers to assist him in conducting intelligence operations. The first to assume this role appears to have been Joseph Reed, who fulfilled the duties of "Secretary, Adjutant General and Quarter Master, besides doing a thousand other little Things which fell incidentally." A later successor to Reed was Alexander Hamilton, who is known to have been deeply involved with the Commander-in-Chief's intelligence operations, including developing reports received in secret writing and investigating a suspected double agent. When Elias Boudinot was appointed Commissary General of Prisoners, responsible for screening captured soldiers and for dealing with the British concerning American patriots whom they held prisoner, Washington recognized that the post offered "better opportunities than most other officers in the army, to obtain knowledge of the Enemy's Situation, motions and... designs," and added to Boudinot's responsibilities "the procuring of intelligence." In 1778, Washington selected Brigadier General Charles Scott of Virginia as his "intelligence chief." When personal considerations made it necessary for Scott to step down, Washington appointed Colonel David Henley to the post temporarily, and then assigned it to Major Benjamin Tallmadge. Tallmadge combined reconnaissance with clandestine visits into British territory to recruit agents, and attained distinction for his conduct of the Culper Ring operating out of New York. In 1776 George Washington picked Thomas Knowlton to command the Continental Army's first intelligence unit, known as "Knowlton's Rangers." Intelligence failure during the battle of Long Island convinced Washington that he needed an elite detachment dedicated to reconnaissance that reported directly to him. Knowlton, who had served in a similar unit during the French and Indian War, led 130 men and 20 officers-all hand-picked volunteers-on a variety of secret missions that were too dangerous for regular troops to conduct. The date 1776 on the seal of the Army's intelligence service today refers to the formation of Knowlton's Rangers. Other intelligence officers who served with distinction during the War of Independence included Captain Eli Leavenworth, Major Alexander Clough, Colonel Elias Dayton, Major John Clark, Major Allan McLane, Captain Charles Craig and General Thomas Mifflin. Graphic: United States Army Intelligence Seal Paul Revere and the Mechanics The first Patriot intelligence network on record was a secret group in Boston known as the "mechanics." The group apparently grew out of the old Sons of Liberty organization that had successfully opposed the hated Stamp Act. The "mechanics," (meaning skilled laborers and artisans) organized resistance to British authority and gathered intelligence. In the words of one of its members, Paul Revere, "in the Fall of 1774 and winter of 1775, I was one of upwards of thirty, chiefly mechanics, who formed ourselves into a Committee for the purpose of watching British soldiers and gaining every intelligence on the movements of the Tories." According to Revere, "We frequently took turns, two and two, to watch the (British) soldiers by patrolling the streets all night." In addition, the "mechanics," also known as the Liberty Boys, sabotaged and stole British military equipment in Boston. Their security practices, however, were amateurish. They met in the same place regularly (the Green Dragon Tavern), and one of their leaders (Dr. Benjamin Church) was a British agent. Through a number of their intelligence sources, the "mechanics" were able to see through the cover story the British had devised to mask their march on Lexington and Concord. Dr. Joseph Warren, chairman of the Committee of Safety, charged Revere with the task of warning John Adams and John Hancock at Lexington that they were the probable targets of the enemy operation. Revere arranged for the warning lanterns to be hung in Old North Church to alert patriot forces at Charleston, and then set off on his famous ride. He completed his primary mission of notifying Adams and Hancock. Then Revere, along with Dr. Samuel Prescott and William Dawes, rode on to alert Concord, only to be apprehended by the British en route. Dawes got away, and Dr. Prescott managed to escape soon afterward and to alert the Patriots at Concord. Revere was interrogated and subsequently released, after which he returned to Lexington to warn Hancock and Adams of the proximity of British forces. Revere then turned to still another mission, retrieving from the local tavern a trunk belonging to Hancock and filled with incriminating papers. With John Lowell, Revere went to the tavern and, as he put it, during "a continual roar of Musquetry... we made off with the Trunk." Paul Revere had served as a courier prior to his famous "midnight ride," and continued to do so during the early years of the war. One of his earlier missions was perhaps as important as the Lexington ride. In December 1774, Revere rode to the Oyster River in New Hampshire with a report that the British, under General Gage, intended to seize Fort William and Mary. Armed with this intelligence, Major John Sullivan of the colonial militia led a force of four hundred men in an attack on the fort. The one hundred barrels of gunpowder taken in the raid were ultimately used by the Patriots to cover their retreat from Bunker Hill. Martyrs and Heroes Nathan Hale is probably the best known but least successful American agent in the War of Independence. He embarked on his espionage mission into British-held New York as a volunteer, impelled by a strong sense of patriotism and duty. Before leaving on the mission he reportedly told a fellow officer: "I am not influenced by the expectation of promotion or pecuniary award; I wish to be useful, and every kind of service necessary to the public good becomes honorable by being necessary. If the exigencies of my country demand a peculiar service, its claims to perform that service are imperious." But dedication was not enough. Captain Hale had no training experience, no contacts in New York, no channels of communication, and no cover story to explain his absence from camp-only his Yale diploma supported his contention that he was a "Dutch schoolmaster." He was captured while trying to slip out of New York, was convicted as a spy and went to the gallows on September 22, 1776. Witnesses to the execution reported the dying words that gained him immortality (a paraphrase of a line from Joseph Addison's play Cato: "I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country." The same day Nathan Hale was executed in New York, British authorities there arrested another Patriot and charged him with being a spy. Haym Salomon was a recent Jewish immigrant who worked as a stay-behind agent after Washington evacuated New York City in September 1776. Solomon was arrested in a round-up of suspected Patriot sympathizers and was confined to Sugar House Prison. He spoke several European languages and was soon released to the custody of General von Heister, commander of Hessian mercenaries, who needed someone who could serve as a German-language interpreter in the Hessian commissary department. While in German custody, Salomon induced a number of the German troops to resign or desert. ==== MAME Mailing List ==== Have you visited the Rootsweb Data Research Cooperation at; http://www.rootsweb.com/ FREE CENSUS LOOKUPS-Some States-Needs volunteers http://wymple.gs.net/~longstrt/census.html --part0_913248487_boundary--

In a message dated 98-12-09 11:22:25 EST, you write: << Allen Leander GENTRY born 1849 died 1938, also his wife Missouri ESTES born 1857 died?? They married in Stone Co.,MO in 1871. Would appreciate any and all information on where this family is buried, thank you, [email protected] >> Glad to see Marie has some queries out there on this man. Allen Leander was son of David Gentry and Elizabeth Anderson of Taney Co., MO. His pension ap says he moved from Stone Co., MO to Lonoke Co., AR in 1880 and that he died there in 1938 - but there is no death record for him there . . or cemetery record. The Lonoke cemetery does have some Gentry's, I think Gary Flesher has posted them at one time. Allen Leander Gentry stated on his pension ap dated 1935 that he had 8 children living and 3 dead. The following children are all I have found. Allen Leander Gentry b. 10 Nov 1849 Taney Co., MO - d. 2 Jul 1938 Ark married Missouri Estes b. abt 1858 TX - no death date found. Her father gave permission for them to marry 8 Oct 1871 as Missouri was abt 14 yrs old. Children born in Missouri 1. James Gentry b. 1873 Douglas Co., MO 2. Martha E.

Hi everyone, I am desperatly trying to connect to the Joseph Gentry/Mary (Polly) Hodges Family of Surry Co., NC > Greene Co., In. Maybe someone out there can help with some of my questions. #1 What was the EXACT death date (at least the year) of Joseph Gentry? (Others show only that he died before 1850.) #2 Where is Joseph Gentry interred? #3 Did Joseph Gentry leave a will naming his children? #4 Did Joseph Gentry own land in Greene Co., IN? #5 Has anyone found an obit on Joseph Gentry? #6 When exactly did Joseph and Mary move to Greene Co., IN? (1850 Highland Twp, Greene Co., IN census (taken Oct 1850) shows last child Mary age 10 years old born NC which would make her born 1840 in NC. Others show her as being born May 7, 1839) #7 Was Mary (Polly) Hodges related to the Gentry C. Hodges listed in the 1850 Richland Twp, Greene Co., IN census? If so, how? #8 What was the EXACT birth date of John Hughes Gentry b: abt 1826 son of Joseph Gentry/Mary (Polly) Hodges? (The 1850 census shows him as being 26 that would make him born in 1824 not 1826). Census takers do make errors! #9 When did the Greene Co., IN courthouse last burn down? I am not just making a funnie here, I am serious. If anyone can help answer any of the above questions please respond. My Sarah Gentry born 1824 Surry Co., NC needs parents and I am leaning towards Joseph and Mary as a very likely possibility! Thanks, Sammie Leap

Hi all, I am entertaining two theories about my GGGG-grandmother, Catherine GENTRY. The facts are that she married Andrew MCCOOL, July 3, 1825 in Montgomery County, Alabama and died around 1831 (probably at childbirth to Alvin). The theories: 1. She was the daughter of Thomas GENTRY (b. 1775 in Edgefield County, SC). Thomas was the son of Hezekiah GENTRY and Catherine REYNOLDS. Thomas' daughter Catherine married a SMITH (possibly Gilbert). 2. She was the daughter of Youngblood GENTRY who lived in Fayette County, Alabama in 1830. Makes sense! Their second son was named Youngblood. The family moved to Fayette County around 1830-1834. 3. She was born about 1810 in Alabama. From the Family Group Sheet for Andrew MCCOOL (from the Family History Center, LDS). Please provide any additional information about my Catherine (or Katie) GENTRY and her family line.
