Hi everyone, I am desperatly trying to connect to the Joseph Gentry/Mary (Polly) Hodges Family of Surry Co., NC > Greene Co., In. Maybe someone out there can help with some of my questions. #1 What was the EXACT death date (at least the year) of Joseph Gentry? (Others show only that he died before 1850.) #2 Where is Joseph Gentry interred? #3 Did Joseph Gentry leave a will naming his children? #4 Did Joseph Gentry own land in Greene Co., IN? #5 Has anyone found an obit on Joseph Gentry? #6 When exactly did Joseph and Mary move to Greene Co., IN? (1850 Highland Twp, Greene Co., IN census (taken Oct 1850) shows last child Mary age 10 years old born NC which would make her born 1840 in NC. Others show her as being born May 7, 1839) #7 Was Mary (Polly) Hodges related to the Gentry C. Hodges listed in the 1850 Richland Twp, Greene Co., IN census? If so, how? #8 What was the EXACT birth date of John Hughes Gentry b: abt 1826 son of Joseph Gentry/Mary (Polly) Hodges? (The 1850 census shows him as being 26 that would make him born in 1824 not 1826). Census takers do make errors! #9 When did the Greene Co., IN courthouse last burn down? I am not just making a funnie here, I am serious. If anyone can help answer any of the above questions please respond. My Sarah Gentry born 1824 Surry Co., NC needs parents and I am leaning towards Joseph and Mary as a very likely possibility! Thanks, Sammie Leap
