Meg Gentry Bookout You have a family of historical value, my hat is off to you, I myself am a Veteran, I served 20 years in the Navy, one tour on a Minesweeper so I know what that is, I was a Medical Corpsman and the Marines have none so I was sent to serve with the Marines twice in Vietnam, I am now retired and am on 100% disability because of service connected disabilities. My GGG Grandmother was Tabithia Gentry d/o Watson Gentry of Surry County NC, she married William Hodges of Surry County, NC Coy Hodge Sr. HM1/USN/Retired Thomasville, NC ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bookout" <bookout@qnet.com> To: <GENTRY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, November 11, 2002 12:04 PM Subject: Re: [Gentry] Veteran's Day > My 4th g-grandfather Meshack Gentry served in the Revolutionary War, > with DAR records that are unverified.
