Ellen, Henri and others I am interested in the Gentry families in Northeast Mississippi that you mentioned. My husband's grandfather is Dock H. Gentry b Jan. 1850 in Ms (probably Tishomingo Co.) m Martha J. Evans b Aug 1852. (They lived in the Baldwin, MS area which before 1870 was Tishomingo Co. In 1870 Tishomingo (created 1836) was divided into Alcorn, Prentis and Tishomingo Counties. The small town of Baldwin is divided and part is in Prentiss Co., and part in Lee Co. ) The children of Dock H. and Martha are George b May 1879 Robert b Dec 1884 Clevland b Mar 1880 Jessie b May 5, 1890, (d June 1870) m Hoyt E. Elledge b Mar 18, 1889 (d Jan 13, 1951) (both buried in Pontotoc City Cemetery, Pontotoc, MS Carter b Jan 1891 Earl b Sept 1893 Biffle b May 1895 Lady B. b Mar 1897 Do any of these names connect with any lines any of you may have? I wonder if the Drury Gentry mentioned may be father of Dock? I have notes from the 1870 Prentiss Co census about the Drury Gentry family which includes a "Docter AA" male abt 12 years old. I haven't done much research on this line, and what I have done is not recent. I also have had a major computer problem recently and lost many of my source notes. Looking forward to hearing more about this MS line Sandra Hill Fitts

Hello everyone interested in A. A. GENTRY. He married twice and the first mrg was to my great - aunt Nancy Natherine CRABB. See below: Actually, if I remember correctly from "hear say", he was NOT a Doctor, as such. He was definitely son of Drury GENTRY and his first wife, Mary Elizabeth AVARETT / AVERETT. Hope this helps. I would love to hear from any one researching AA Gentry. What happened to Nancy's children?? Thanks lots.
