Hi Emma, Your JAMES may be the son of Benejah even though he is not listed in the will. Frequently children who are in a will have already received their inheritance of land, etc. This goes for dau. as well as sons, especially the older one. Check land records to see what may have been deeded or sold.

Thanks Norma it looks like you have gotten the ball rolling...We appreciate that. I got that Bad address thing squared away. The Gentry that I would like the most information about I believe is Aaron Gentry b. abt 1771 (Hanover) Va. m. (1) Polly Ogg, Nov 14, 1801 in (Albemarle) Va. (2) Peggy Ogg, January 10, 1803 in Charlottesville (Albemerle) Va. As best I know he had one son James Overton born abt 1807. What happened after that??? Is there anyone on this mail list that has him in their ancestry line??? I would like to hear from you. Thanks Joe Gentry [email protected]

I am descended from Nicholas II, and his wife, Mary BROOKS. Also descended through Nicholas III, and his wife, Sarah DICKENS. Does anyone know any more about Sarah's ancestry, except that her father was supposed to be John DICKENS?

Hi everyone, Here's my most wanted GENTRY: I am looking for info and ancestors for Elizabeth GENTRY, supposedly born in SC on 11 Mar 1775. She married Andrew SHELLNUT ca 1797, probably in Franklin Co. GA. He was from the Cuffietown area of Edgefield Co. SC. Andrew died in 1825. Elizabeth eventually moved to Carroll Co. GA to live with her son Andrew Joseph SHELLNUT. She is listed in his household on the 1850 census. Elizabeth died in Carroll Co. GA on 16 Mar 1854. Andrew and Elizabeth (GENTRY) SHELLNUT had 13 children. I'm descended from their youngest, Nathaniel SHELLNUT b 1822, probably in Franklin Co. GA. He married Lucy Jane CHRISTIAN in 1839 in Fayette Co. GA and eventually moved to Bowdon, Carroll Co. GA, where Nathaniel was a Judge and merchant. The children of Andrew and Elizabeth were: John b 1798 Rebekah b 1800, m Henry DAVIS William b 1802, m Nancy LAMBRETH Lavinia b ca 1804 -- twins? David b ca 1804 -- twins?

I have personally researched and documented my Gentry line back to brothers George Washington Gentry b 1844 NC and Andrew Jackson Gentry b 3 Aug 1848 NC.

Can anyone add to, verify, or dispute the following: Nicholas Gentry b abt 1631 England Nicholas Gentry I b abt 1655 d abt 1710, Hanover County, Virginia Nicholas Gentry II b 30 March 1697 New Kent, Va d 20 Feb 1777 Albemarle Co, Va married Jane Brown/Braxton Nicholas Gentry III b abt 1726 Virginia d abt March 1803 Adair County, Kentucky married abt 1750 Elizabeth Stringer David Gentry b abt 1754 Louisa County, Va d aft 1810 Buncombe County, NC married Elizabeth Whitlock Elias Gentry b abt 1785 Caroline Co, Va d 1868 Buncombe Co, Nc married Mary Ann Stanton William Gentry b abt 1824 NC d 18 Aug 1864 married Jane Sams. Children of William Gentry and Jane Sams are: 1. George W Gentry b abt 1844 married 9 Nov 1865 Susan Johnson 2. Polly Gentry b abt 1845 3. Delitha Gentry b ab 1848 4. Andrew Jackson Gentry b 3 Aug 1848 married Temperance ? 5. Clarisa C Gentry b 1853 6. Sarrah Gentry b 11 Nov 1856 married Shadrick Franklin 7. Thomas Gentry b 1857 8. Celia Gentry b 1861 9. Abner Gentry b 1862 10. William K Gentry b 1864 11. Sarah Gentry b 1865 I would be glad to share details of my lineage from George W and Andrew J with any interested cousins.

MY MOST WANTED: My mother's uncle, Thomas GENTRY, was last heard of at Mother's father's funeral, in the late 1920s in Jackson Co. AR. Her father was Elbert Marion, both he and Thomas b MO, to John W GENTRY and Mickey Elvira COOPER. She later married George W MILLER, and lived in Craighead Co AR. Thomas had sister's, Nora, Frances, (m. COPPEDGE) and Lillian, (m. BENNETT). She knew he was married at the time, and had several children, and thought at one time, that he was supposed to have lived at El Dorado AR. I inquired there a few years ago, and could find no one who had ever heard of him. I looked in the Social Security Death Index, and found a Thomas GENTRY, born 23 Apr 1884, died Apr 1967 in Dickson, TN. This could be him. I have much to share with his descendants.

Hi all you Cousins out there! I talked with Joe Gentry, the list owner, and he tells me we are now 147 strong! Wow! That is unbelievable. The list has been very, very slow lately, and we thought maybe a "Most Wanted Gentry" posting might liven things up. I'll go first. My Most Wanted Gentry is Green/Greenberry Gentry. He was born in Kentucky, and went to Caldwell Co. Missouri in the town of Ludlow. His wife's name was Jane and they had a daughter named Eva. I figure he died probably in the 1930's. He was a brother to my gr-granfather. That is all I know of him. Anyone out there live in Missouri, Caldwell Co.? I really need some help on this one! OK, Guys, IT'S YOUR TURN! That didn't hurt a bit! :) Have a nice evening and let's find some Gentrys! Norma ***************** My Eastern Ky. Family Pages http://www.angelfire.com/oh/myfamilygenes/
