Hi, Bill, Evidently when I typed in my information on Allen Cain GENTRY I did not source it. I have been looking through my GENTRY file but can't find where I picked up the Cain as part of his name. I will continue to look and if I find it will let you know. Irma J.

Bill, Thank you for responding to my post, I have been looking in Edgecombe for Ann's birth because we found a tiny slip of paper in an old ledger of my great grandfather's that said this family probably came from Edgecombe, NC. No wonder I couldn't find anything about her, except her connection to the Bakers. Would you have any suggestions re: where to search? I have found a zillion Ann Gentrys, seems everyone has one !! Again, I am appreciative of you taking the time to respond. Sharron

Not likely, would love to find him though. He was murdered outside Mason about 1901 and we don't know where he is buried. His father William was killed in the Civil War and is buried somewhere on the battlefield. Wish we could have made the connection.

Question for Irma Roy: I am wondering about whether or not Allen Gentry actually had the middle name of Cain. This is the first I have heard of this name in this family. Cain is of course found in the family's of Allen's uncles Allen Cain and Elisha (both sons of David-III Gentry.

Question to Sharron Redden I am wondering about your source for Ann Gentry's birth in Edgecombe Co., NC. In many years of researching NC Gentrys, I have never come upon any in Edgecombe Co, especially in this time period. Aside from Elkanah Gentry who I believe was part of a different family (not a descendant of Nicholas), I know of no Gentrys who settled permanently in NC until the late 1760's in the area that became Surry Co. in 1770, and then in Caswell Co. in the 1770's. There is a brief reference to a John Gentry witnessing a deed in Johnston Co. in 1759, but I believe he was there only briefly and returned to Lunenburg Co., VA. I would be very interested in learning if this is truly an authentic case of a Gentry being in NC at this location at so early a date. Bill Gentry
