    3. I have a friend, and she is descended from Elizabeth GENTRY, (daughter of Nicholas II) b. 1731, who m. Nathaniel HAGGARD. They moved in 1788 to Clark Co. KY. She loaned me a book of the HAGGARD family, and I copied all pages dealing with GENTRY-HAGGARD ties. There was also a brother of Nathaniel HAGGARD, Edmund, who's grandson William, b. 05 Apr 1785, m. Polly GENTRY (b.in Madison Co, KY, and d. in Dubuque Co, IA). William's brother, David, b. 30 Jun 1789, married Elizabeth GENTRY, daughter of Jane Haggard GENTRY. This book is History of the HAGGARD family in England and America, 1433 to 1899 by David D. HAGGARD. 929.273 H122h On page 22 starts "Descendants of Nathaniel Haggard" "The records show that Nathaniel Haggard was born November 21, 1723, and that he married Elizabeth Gentry, a lady of English descent, and that they settled in Albemarle County, Virginia, near Charlottsbille. they were members of the Baptist church. they raised a family of seven sons and three daughters, as follows: Henry, born 1745: Baptist Preacher. Martin, born 1748; Baptist preacher. Elizabeth, born 1752, married Ned Kindred, a Baptist preacher. James, born 1759; Baptist preacher. Jane, born 1761; married a Mr. Gentry. (penciled in notes: Married Aug 7, 1785 to David Gentry. Also a date, Aug 1, 1841 death date for Jane, perhaps) Bartlett, born 1764 (Feb 4 penciled, also, May 18, 1847) carpenter and farmer (married Nov 17, 1785) David, born 1764, carpenter and farmer, twin to Bartlett. "Nathaniel Haggard family removed to Clark co Ky, and settled between Winchester and Boonsborough." I am sending this to list also: These friends of mine, descendants of Elizabeth Gentry and Nathaniel Haggard, list their lineage thusly: Nicholas Gentry I (the immigrant) Nicholas Gentry II (1697) Elizabeth Gentry (1731) sp Nathaniel Haggard (1723) I know their research has been done by their eldest daughter, who has been very active in genealogy, and has edited a West TN genealogy paper, and was the spearhead behind getting our county history published. The Haggard book says also that a grandson of Edmund Haggard, William, married Polly Gentry Jan 12, 1809. "In an early day he moved to Iowa and raised a large family". His brother David Haggard, born Jun 30, 1789 married Elizabeth Gentry, daughter of Jane Haggard Gentry, Jan 12, 1809. He died in Dubuque co Ia, Dec 21, 1865. His wife was born in Madison Co, Ky, Jan 6, 1788. She d. in Dubuque co, Ia, Sep 10, 1846, 13 children, 7 sons , 6 dau. I would think this particular book was published some time ago, because, I quote, "Nancy Haggard Smith, b. march 6, 1817,-lived at Strawberry Point, IA- has the old family bible, and is still living." She was the daughter of David and Elizabeth, above.
