Norma encouraged me to post what I have to the list, so ..... Let me preface this by saying that I've been collecting Gentrys in north Mississippi whenever I run across them in indexes and such. That data is *not* entered into my computer, and we've just moved (cousins are welcome to come unpack boxes and hang wallpaper!) and my files aren't unpacked yet. As I have the chance (it will be awhile), I intend to post the scraps of info I have about other lines to the list. None of it (much) is coherent -- that is to say, I don't have Murgatroyd Zebedee GENTRY's line back to Noah, or even Millard Fillmore -- but you never know when an isolated cemetery listing might be the wedge to topple a brick wall for someone else. I'll post that as I can. That said, here's what I have of my direct line, researched by me or my father: 1. Levi F. GENTRY, b. 13 Dec. 1820 ?? South Carolina (from census data and family "legend"), d. 21 Jul 1889, Union Co, MS, buried Damascus Cemetery, Alpine Community, Union Co MS. + 17 Dec 1846 Elizabeth Jane HUNTER, Lowndes Co MS Issue: 2.

Mirabeau Starks GENTRY, b. abt 1869 Pontotoc Co MS, m. abt 1885 Mollie Mars McNUTT, no further information 2. James Gentry, b. Mar 1870 Lee Co MS, no further information. Whew. I'm tired of typing "no further information". Guess I'll have to find an excuse to leaving the unpacking to the kids and spend a day at the library! :-) Anyway, there's what I know and have entered into the computer. It seems to me that I have more somewhere, but that might just be wishful thinking. Enjoy, find a cousin or two, corrections/additions welcome!
