Envious of those of you who can go back many generations in your Gentry line! Sara Binkley Tarpley (1947-) Mary Louise Gentry Binkley (1911-) Zebulun Beard Gentry (1875-1937) William M. Gentry (Between 1842-1848 - 1926) George W. Gentry (Abt. 1823-1864) My Gentrys were from Buncombe and Madison Counties, NC. One cousin believes that George's father may have been Elias Gentry, b. VA, supposedly the brother of John N. Gentry, Jesse Gentry, and Thomas Gentry who first appear in Buncombe County in 1820. Sara Binkley Tarpley
