Hi, Paul has done a lot of research and is still living though old and frail. He actually was raised In the home with Nancy Ann Nichols Gentry and Nancy Frazier Gentry Berry. Both Nancy's lived with Aunt Molly, his mother. Nancy Ann Nichols Gentry moved with them to Loving, NM where she died. He is a delight to talk to. Aunt Molly is buried in the Gritt Cemetary along with Bate and Nancy Berry. Paul and his wife Elizabeth's markers are already in place there. They will be buried there though both of them are still alive. Paul's daughter has all information and will be carrying on his research. Grandma Nancy Nichols Gentry is buried in Carlsbad. Paul wanted to move her to the Gritt Cemetary also but the cemetary records were destroyed in a fire and markers had been vandalized. Alas, no one can remember which grave was hers. I am cannot say that the omission of the girls or the young son who was deceased was in fact error as much as it was tradition. This family I grew up in did not recognize the women as they did the men, nor were the children who died ever mentioned. Your information and research is great, I thank you and appreciate you.
