          **************************

Here's some interesting facts for desc. of Elisha Gentry b. 1746 researchers
(long post)

In looking for parents of my Allen Gentry Sr. b. 1792 SC who migrated to TN
between 1820-1830 and then to MO by 1837, I found the 1830 TN census contained
2 Allen Gentry in McMinn Co - one referred to as Allen Sr and another just
Allen Gentry. So while digging further into McMinn/Rhea County records this is
what I discovered. It always amazes me the people who were in county records
that NEVER appear on the census!!
Rhea Co. formed 1819 bordered by McMinn Co, Rhea Co., Bledsoe Co., Hamilton
and Indian Lands.
First Gentry mentioned in area records was David Gentry who was a bondsman to
William Rogers in 1813 in McMinn Co. This David was the wife of Tiana Rogers.
They went to Arkansas with the Cherokee early and he d. in AR. Tiana Gentry
then m. Samuel Houston.
Here also by 1820 is Cain, the son of Elisha Gentry and probably siblings
living with him. But who is William?  Is his wife Neoma? Who is the Shedrick
Gentry?
Where did all these Allen's come from?
