    1. [Gentry] Passing along request about John Gentry from a non-list member
    2. I received the following inquiry from Ruth Denson and told her I would pass the message along since I don't have much info on the particular line. The Betsy who married John Gentry should be Elizabeth Moody if the information I have is correct. Send any information you want to share directly to her at: rvdenson@juno.com . I am also interested in any information on this line and you can reach me at: Shena9881@aol.com. Shena Message from Ruth Denson rvdenson@juno.com: John Gentry b. Abt. 1773 & wife Betsy b. bat 1777 are my ancestors. Moody Gentry was brother of my ancestor and son of John & Betsy. My 1st source for info is the manuscript of Ephriam Malone Johnson. Ephriam's mother was the sister of the father-in-law of Winnie and Martha/Patsy. Moody Gentry married Ephriam's sister. I had already found John Gentry's will but wife Elizabeth and a lady named Elizabeth Ellen Wood who was to receive bed and furniture are the only names mentioned. I found a sale bill for the personal property of John Gentry dated 4-27-1850. Moody's name was on it along with 5 other men none of whom I recognize. I am a 6th generation descendant of Winnie & Robert Stell. I know where Winnie and Robert are buried but Winnie has no headstone and a large rock with some info is Robert's headstone. I do hope you are able to fill me in on sources or some info to help me find the other children of John & Elizabeth/Betsy. One Bartley Gentry married Ibby Willbanks. On the Gentry forum site Bartley is listed as the brother of John. I have done some work on Willbanks as they are connected to Stells but just recently noticed the connection of Bartley and John. I wish I had the source for listing of John & his siblings. Pamela Geisler Smith is the person who submitted info concerning Bartley. Do you know what's happened to Ron Burdette?
