Rhonda McGehee wrote Still researching Sarah Francis Gentry b Oct 29, 1848 and d Nov 20, 1921 and buried in Greenwood Arkansas. She married John Riley McGehee and they had 7 children. Rhonda McGehee Dear Rhonda, I just wrote this to a person on the Johnston Co., NC website. Perhaps you can use this information. You will have to search for McGehee, I believe, as your lady was probably married in 1880. However, each person enumerated was asked where each of his /her parents was b orn. This may lead you to the proper jurisdiction (State). Then you can search for Gentrys in either the State where Sarah Francis Gentry 's father was born or where her mother was born. Frequently, the marriage took place in the bride's home state, but not always--nothing is sure in genealogy. This is the message: Have you tried to find this family in the online 1880 census? This census may be found on this website, and it is free: www.familysearch.org It is somewhat tricky to use. Not only did the census taker misspell the names, forenames and surnames, but also the indexers/transcribers also misspelled the names. If the proper spelling of the name does not appear, try misspelling it!!! You may also use a wild card in this way. Give the first three letters of the surname, followed by an asterisk * That should be a fun search! And check out the neighbors. They may be in-laws, cousins, uncles, etc. While on that website, check out the guides which are given there, and also the forms, etc. All kinds of genealogical goodies are there, including my favorite: The Family History Library Catalog The link to this is on the lower right. If you want to check on what the FHL holds in the way of records for Johnston Co., NC, do a place search. If you want to check on whether a family history has been written about your family, do a surname search, etc. If you want to locate the nearly 3,000 reels of film of Rev War pensions (of 1832 and beyond), however, use the author search: Veterans Administration [caps not necessary] Happy hunting! E.W.Wallace Oh, yes, Rhonda, Genty is misspelled lots of different ways.
