To all of the many who have been helping me with this line-THANKS! I think I have a good lead now. There is a will in the courts for several months in Spartanburg in 1818-19. Samuel Gentry is the deceased, and his sons are in dispute over his property. The sons listed are Reubin and Nathaniel. Samuels's wife (also dec. at this time) is named as Fanny. Does anyone know anything about this family? Another ?-In this book, the name is often spelled Jentry, as it is in several other publications I have read. Is this another spelling or just numerous misspellings? Thanks, Jeanne Baldwin ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
