    1. Re: found query on Prairie co AR
    2. In a message dated 98-12-09 11:22:25 EST, you write: << Allen Leander GENTRY born 1849 died 1938, also his wife Missouri ESTES born 1857 died?? They married in Stone Co.,MO in 1871. Would appreciate any and all information on where this family is buried, thank you, [email protected] >> Glad to see Marie has some queries out there on this man. Allen Leander was son of David Gentry and Elizabeth Anderson of Taney Co., MO. His pension ap says he moved from Stone Co., MO to Lonoke Co., AR in 1880 and that he died there in 1938 - but there is no death record for him there . . or cemetery record. The Lonoke cemetery does have some Gentry's, I think Gary Flesher has posted them at one time. Allen Leander Gentry stated on his pension ap dated 1935 that he had 8 children living and 3 dead. The following children are all I have found. Allen Leander Gentry b. 10 Nov 1849 Taney Co., MO - d. 2 Jul 1938 Ark married Missouri Estes b. abt 1858 TX - no death date found. Her father gave permission for them to marry 8 Oct 1871 as Missouri was abt 14 yrs old. Children born in Missouri 1. James Gentry b. 1873 Douglas Co., MO 2. Martha E. Gentry b. 1874 Douglas Co., MO m. Harvey Hendrix 3. Lillie May Gentry b. 18 Nov 1876 Douglas Co., MO m. Sparling Hendrix 4. Miles T. Gentry b. 15 Dec 1884 AR - d. 26 Nov 1974 St. Louis, MO 5. John Westley Gentry b. 1883 AR - d. 1967 Lonoke, AR m. Beckie 6. Ira Gentry - m. Lucy Hamilton 7. Janie Gentry m. George McDougal - moved to Oklahoma (recent correspondence with desc. on this line) Allen Leander the only son of David Gentry who was one of three known children of Allen Gentry Sr. and wife Margaret of Taney Co., MO. Always glad to share further info if anyone interested in this line. Pamela Geisler Smith Gresham, OR
