mikemoore71859 — 2012-03-12 17:28:35Z

I am looking for any information on my Great Great Great Grandmother, Elizabeth S. Gentry. She was born about 1825 in Georgia (possibly Hancock County) and died in 1896 in Georgia (most likely Floyd County). She was married to Simeon Douglas McClendon (McLendon). Her sister, Americus was Simeon's first wife. I'm trying to find out who her parents were and where they were born. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Fletcher Mattson Gentry 14 Nov 1887 IN. I located him and his mother and I believe that I found his father and it was not MADISON GENTRY from NC Madison Gentry was born and died in NC and had several children in NC.

Fletcher's mom & dad apparently divorced and she took the son with her. He remarried in about 1891 and had 3 daughters with wife #2, between 1892 and 1901

She remarried 1897 and had another family and had 5 more children

Re: James Louis GENTRY 1840-1917 (b. Indiana---- d. Arkansas)

wmgentry — 2012-02-15 22:24:40Z

I wonder if William M. Gentry (STB born 1832) was a nephew of James Gentry, a son of his brother William. James was married to Susannah Hawkins 8 Apr 1833 in Sullivan Co., IN according to a certificate there which would suggest that William was not a son of Susannah even allowing some slack for census ages. James is known to have been living in Henderson Co., KY in 1825. In the 1820 and 1830 Henderson Co. census there is a William Gentry who has been suggested as being the oldest son of Merle Lee Gentry, and a brother of James. The age and the name for William M Gentry would fit this scenario very well.

Bill Gentry

Re: James Louis GENTRY 1840-1917 (b. Indiana---- d. Arkansas)

deltavines — 2012-02-14 20:51:17Z

I'm having difficulty with this one. As I read Andrew Jackson Gentry's death certificate, it looks as if his mother's name as listed is Susan Lewis - not Susannah Hawkins. This info was attested to by Mrs. M.F. (Mary Francis) Gentry - his wife. I've not been able to locate any of the other death certificates yet.

Is is possible that James was married more than once?

I'm wondering if this is the same James Gentry.

Re: Thomas Jefferson Gentry

NHARRIS — 2012-02-09 14:23:57Z

I may have made mistake on previous reply regarding my line of descent from Thomas J Gentry. Thomas J & Sarah Elizabeth had son John T. Gentry. John T Gentry married Easter Carolina Satterfield. They had a daughter Nancy Elizabeth that married Noble Brown. This couple were my great grandparents. I, in fact, am named after my great grandmother.
So, Thomas J is my 3rd great grandfather not my 2nd great grandfather.

I know this post made sometime ago, but I have information on Henry Allen Gentry's parents. Henry Allen Gentry was born 1 Dec 1861 to James H. Gentry and Anna Miller. Henry also had a sister Sarah Ann Gentry, who married John Schmitt on 27 Mar 1879, (I have'nt been able to find her after the marriage that took place at Bolckow, Andrew, Misouri). James H Gentry died 4 Dec 1862 in Wayne County, Missouri. He was serving on the Union side of the Civil War. His wife Anna Miller Gentry married Samuel C. Broderick March 31, 1867. I have more info and a copy of death certificate for Henry Allen Gentry and Photo of the family.

Maybe we have to look at other things...your grandfather's occupation?? When/where born? Can your mom remember a photo that matches the picture? Maybe what he was wearing will trigger a memory. I know this can be solved but don't know what track to take.

Thanks for your quick response.

Re: Thomas Jefferson Gentry

wmgentry — 2011-12-16 14:08:03Z

I didn't say there was anything wrong with Peggy's data in her death certificate. I was saying that where the certificate gave the father's place of birth as Georgia, that one item conflicts with the statement in the 1850 census.

Incidentally, I mispoke in saying Cheruby may have been Thomas' step-grandmother. It would be his step-mother.

Re: Thomas Jefferson Gentry

NHARRIS — 2011-12-16 13:45:42Z

Oops..made mistake ...not the 1870 cens but the 1860 cens for Mary Sanders living with the Gentry family.

Re: Thomas Jefferson Gentry

NHARRIS — 2011-12-16 13:44:16Z

Per the 1870 cens..the Mary Sanders that is enumerated with the family of Thomas J and Bette Gentry. She is the sister to Bette. They were the daughters of Jefferson Carnes.He died sometime after the 1840 cens and before the 1850 cens for Ga. The family was residing in Heard County, Georgia on the 1840 cens.

Re: Thomas Jefferson Gentry

NHARRIS — 2011-12-16 13:27:35Z

Peggy is listed on the 1860 cens as a 2 year old. Also, the Nancy E. Gilly that appears with this family was a child of the first couple on the same page where Thomas J Gentry appears. The 1870 cens..the first child listed, the name was not spelled correctly, this was Lorenzo Gentry, the second child was Louisa or Peggy Gentry. Lorenzo died in 1882. Thomas J, Sarah Elizabeth ( Bette )and Lorenzo Gentry are buried at Fellowship Baptist Church Cemetery, Haralson County, Georgia.

Re: Thomas Jefferson Gentry

tomvalois — 2011-12-16 02:00:10Z

You seem to be saying that whoever informed the medical examiner about Peggy Gentry's death certificate lied. That doesn't seem plausible, to me. She died in Alabama. Whoever was there with her reporting on her death must have believed that she was the daughter of Thomas J. Gentry.

If the person reporting on her death was wrong, it seems to be a huge coincidence that the person provided actual names of real people from Peggy's home town. Even if Peggy is not a descendant of Thomas Gentry, there seems to be a tradition that she was.

I am actually working on an alternate theory. There is a tradition in my family of Cherokee descent. Peggy does not show up on the 1860 census, but she is there plain as day on the 1970 census, as a 14 year old. Any chance she was an abandoned or orphaned Cherokee?

Re: Thomas Jefferson Gentry

wmgentry — 2011-12-16 00:09:50Z

In the 1850 census for Paulding Co., GA, you find Jefferson Jentry and Elizabeth, both age 19, with a son John T. This is Thomas J. Gentry I am sure. The census has his place of birth as TN, that of his wife (Elizabeth Carnes) as GA. I believe the census is right and not the death certificate information for the father of Peggy Gentry. They were living next to a widow, Cheruby Gentry, who I believe was the step-grandmother of Thomas. My evaluation has been that Cheruby was the second wife of Allen Gentry of McMinn Co.TN (see http://www.gentryjournal.org/archives/jgg05a.htm - he would be Allen-B of the five Allens discussed).

What is your line of descent from T. J. Gentry/Peggy Gentry Mosley/?

Re: Thomas Jefferson Gentry

tomvalois — 2011-12-14 05:38:55Z

Peggy died in Birmingham, Jefferson County, Alabama, on 31 Aug 1919. There is actually a record for this:

Alabama, Deaths and Burials Index, 1881-1974

Name: Peggy Attalive Mosley
[Peggy Attalive Gentry]
Birth Date: May 1859
Birth Place: Georgia
Death Date: 31 Aug 1919
Death Place: Birimingham, Jefferson County, Alabama
Burial Date: 1 Sep 1919
Burial Place: Col... Alabama
Death Age: 61
Occupation: House Wife
Race: White
Marital Status: Married
Gender: Female
Street Address: 3901 Ave B
Father Name: Thos J Gentry
Father Birth Place: Georgia
Mother Name: Betty Carnes
Mother Birth Place: Georgia
Spouse Name: Miles Thomas Wosley
FHL Film Number: 1908215

For Miles Mosley, I have a death date of 9 Nov 1940, but that just comes from other peoples' family trees. I don't have an actual source.

Re: Thomas Jefferson Gentry

NHARRIS — 2011-12-14 02:34:39Z

Louisa Adaline Gentry (nickname was Peggy) was the sister to my great great grandfather. I show 10 children born to Peggy and Miles Mosley. I do not have date of death for Peggy or Miles.

Re: Thomas Jefferson Gentry

tomvalois — 2011-12-13 21:58:07Z

Okay, I know it has been a while since this thread was posted, but I'm stuck and I need some help if anyone has made further progress on this.

I am descended from Peggy Adeline Gentry (who married Miles Thomas Mosley). The record of her death, as recorded in "Alabama Deaths and Burials Index, 1881-1974", shows her husband as Miles T. Mosley, which is how I know she is the correct Peggy Adeline. However, the death record lists her parents as Thomas J. Gentry and Betty Carnes, and she was born in Georgia. That can't be a coincidence.

Does anyone have a Peggy (or perhaps a Margaret) as a daughter of Thomas J. Gentry and Betty Carnes? And, if so, do you have any sources for it?

BishopGentry — 2011-09-04 19:46:45Z

My grandfather was Jerome G Gentry. I found on a record which identifies the G as Gerrales and this is consistent with the family lore that his mother was in fact Spanish. I have found her name as Elizabeth Whitney. The problem is that is not a Spanish surname nor is the other name which according to family lore was Whitman. I have seen a tin photo plate of her and she most definitely looks either Spanish or Latina. Does anyone have information on Jonathan or Elizabeth and if this helpful the census spells Gentry as Jentrie and this true for his Confederate military service.

Re: Warrick County, Indiana Gentrys

moromans — 2011-08-27 00:47:26Z

Thank you for posting this. Are you an Indiana Gentry? My mother just had the Family Finder test and she is related to several people with Gentrys in thier family so I do believe that Rhoda Gentry is truly my grandmother and I believe that George was her father. She was born in 1830. Another Gentry told me he had 4 daughters born 1830 and after but I have not been able to find any information on that anywhere.
