I would be very interested in knowing the grandchildren of the sons of Allen Cain Gentry and Rebecca Motes Gentry or this could apply to one of his youngest sons. I am looking for a marriage between ? Gentry and Nancy Gann in Tishomingo County. It is believe that Mr. Gentry was killed in the Civil War and Nancy Gann Gentry then married William Wiley Shook in 1864. Her marriage to Mr. Gentry was about 1855 - 1858. Can anyone help? Thanks, Karen
