About a year ago I sent out an email request on information regarding the marriage of David Gentry to Tiana Rogers. I read some material on Tiana Rogers and Sam Houston, but it only mentioned a marriage between David and Tiana with no real hard evidence or information. Would love it if you could bring me up to date. Also, I am curious as to your lineage since we are both from the Gentry line and have the same name. I am also Bobbi (no "e") Jo (Gentry) Meyer. My lineage goes like this - Bobbi Jo Gentry & Larry Meyer Bobby Dean Gentry & Christine Sharp William Glenn Gentry & Verna Kingrey Hiram Newton Gentry & Barbara Claybaugh William Gentry & Permillia Landrus Garland Gentry & Penelope Wheeler Blackston Gentry & Mary Bunch Nicholas Gentry III & Elizabeth Stringer Nicholas Gentry II & Mary Brooks Nicholas Gentry I & Lucy Cornelius I look forward to hearing from you.
