I am posting some GENTRY information I copied from a book about Carroll Co MO, published about 1880. My GENTRY line came from this area. Micah "Mickey" Elvira GENTRY, daughter of Robert and Julia SIMPSON, married A.T. COOPER. Combs township: Robert GENTRY located on Section 4 about 1833. A.T COOPER located 1829. From Uncle Stephen HANCOCK we gather the facts that the first marriage was that of Alfred T. COOPER and Miss Mickie GENTRY, by James WALDEN, justice of the peace. The first birth was that of Minnie GENTRY in 1838 to Sampson and Sallie GENTRY. The first death that of Robert GENTRY was during the year 1835, the body having been taken to Adkins grave yard in Wakenda township for interment. Fairield township: Bethel Cumberland Presbyterian, this denomination was organized in 1860 and re organized Jan 1, 1873. For the present the services are held in Burr Oak school house on section 29, the congregation not yet having built a house of worship. Rev. A.T.(Alfred Thomas) COOPER, one of those serving as minister, thus far. More tomorrow....Virginia *************************************** * Genealogy, Surnames, Pictures * * Missing Children, Collectables, * * and other links. * * http://www.public.usit.net/gflesher * * WEB PAGE DESIGN * ***************************************
