    1. My most wanted GENTRY
    2. Hi everyone, Here's my most wanted GENTRY: I am looking for info and ancestors for Elizabeth GENTRY, supposedly born in SC on 11 Mar 1775. She married Andrew SHELLNUT ca 1797, probably in Franklin Co. GA. He was from the Cuffietown area of Edgefield Co. SC. Andrew died in 1825. Elizabeth eventually moved to Carroll Co. GA to live with her son Andrew Joseph SHELLNUT. She is listed in his household on the 1850 census. Elizabeth died in Carroll Co. GA on 16 Mar 1854. Andrew and Elizabeth (GENTRY) SHELLNUT had 13 children. I'm descended from their youngest, Nathaniel SHELLNUT b 1822, probably in Franklin Co. GA. He married Lucy Jane CHRISTIAN in 1839 in Fayette Co. GA and eventually moved to Bowdon, Carroll Co. GA, where Nathaniel was a Judge and merchant. The children of Andrew and Elizabeth were: John b 1798 Rebekah b 1800, m Henry DAVIS William b 1802, m Nancy LAMBRETH Lavinia b ca 1804 -- twins? David b ca 1804 -- twins? Thomas b 1807, m/1 Jane WAKEFIELD m/2 Jane WARD Polly D. b 1809, m Thomas DAVIS Susannah Levina b 1811, poss m. Talton HOLLAND Laura b 1813 Elizabeth b 1815, m Solomon LANEY Andrew Joseph b 1817, m Harriet Ann HOLLAND Henry b 1820 Nathaniel b 1822, m Lucy Jane CHRISTIAN I hope to hear from some new cousins!
