Bill, I googled!
I’m going to begin this with Mathew Gentry and list what I can that directly pertains to my family ties.
Mathew Gentry, b. June 10, 1800 in North Carolina, d. Aug. 22, 1887, Owen Township, Warrick Co., Indiana. He married Nancy S. Staton, daughter of Jehu and Mahala Staton. She was b. Oct. 14, 1799, d. April 20, 1876 in Warrick Co., Indiana.
In 1850 he was a farmer with real estate valued at $1,000.
In 1818 she was mentioned in her father’s will, but what was actually left to her is yet unknown.
They are both burried in Shiloh Cemetary, Folsomville, Warrick Co., Indiana.
John Gentry was one of Approx. 15 kids. John was b. Sept. 14, 1832, Warrick Co., Indiana and d. Spet. 10, 1897, also in Warrick Co. He married Sarah Reed Feb. 5, 1857, Warrick Co., Indiana.
Sarah Reed was the Daughter of WILLIAM REED and MARY HODGES, b. Dec. 26, 1840 in Crowville, Warrick Co., Indiana and d. Nov. 25, 1897, Warrick Co., Indiana.
They are the Parents of Louisa Elvira Gentry, b. June 13, 1866 Warrick Co., Indiana and d., Jan. 26, 1896, Warrick Co., Indiana.
Louisa Elvira Gentry married Siegal Frank Kinder, Aug. 13, 1891 in Warrick Co., Indiana.
Siegel Frank Kinder was the son of Henry Kinder and Luvisa Carlisle, b. about 1863, Warrick Co., Indiana and d. 1951 in the same county and state.
Both are burried in Bethabra Cemetary, Warrick Co., Indiana.
Children of Louisa Elvira Gentry and Siegal Frank Kinder include my grandfather, Alsie Ray Kinder.
Alsie Ray Kinder, b. May 11, 1891 in Pike Co., Indiana, d. May 9, 1974 in Evansville, Indiana. Alsie married Nora Ethel Sutton on Nov. 25, 1914 in Pike Co., Indiana. Nora Sutton was the daughter of Charles Sutton and Iva Leota Ferguson.
Please see more on this line of Suttons, under post “Charlie Sutton” in this Geneology Forum.
I’ve noticed several other names mentioned along with my Gentrys like, Posey, Hawkins, Fitzgerald, Barnett, Cook, Fleener, Chancellor, as well as a few others.
I’ve also noticed that there is a lot of intermarriages between Gentrys, Hodges, and Reeds, just like Bill said in a previous post.
For example, Samuel Gentry, I’m not sure right now his direct relation to my Mathew above, was married to Catharine Reed. She was the daughter of our William Reed and Mary Hodges, and sister of my Sarah Reed. So I want to look and see who the Samuel is.
I will add more if I find pertinent info. 🙂 Love & Light, Lynella.
Bill,
Boy were you right! Between those Gentrys, Sheltons, Reeds, Hodges, and all it gets rather muddy doesn’t it!;) I think they had way too much time on their hands! Thank you very very much for all your help. Love & Light, Lynella.
Looks like you’re havin’ fun! The Leslie’s and Gentry’s were also related prior to coming to Indiana.
Bill
Bill,
😀 Yes, I am having fun! Google is so much better than yahoo! Thank you for pointing that out! Were they really related before then? That’s cool.:) This is really very exciting. Sort of like playing detective!:) Thank you again! Love & Light, Lynella.
Lyn,
The POSEY may come from the widow Agness GENTRY (just not sure which Agness she is) who m’d 2nd, John Phillips and moved to Warrick county near her Gentry kids already there. In 1850, John (72) and Agness (70) Phillips had several POSEY children in their household. Agness died 1853.
The Fitzgeralds, Barnetts and Cooks are related to several of your lines but not in your direct line that I’ve seen.
Bill
Bill,
Thank you! Yeah, I had 2 Agnes’ and it was getting late and my brain comletely slipped sideways and tried to go south for the winter. I had 2 of them and couldn’t make heads or,….yeah, anyway, then it dawned on me that one was the daughter of the other because her last name was something else, I belive Hodges, right now off the top of my head. Boy! Couldn’t they have been a little more original in those days? I told Kerry, Heck, (Only it wasn’t Heck that I used) call em’ salt & pepper for god’s sake! Anything but Samuel, Samuel and Samuel.;) Thank You Again. Love & Light and Stay warm and cozy, it’s cold! Lynella.
Lynella!

Saj,
😀 This is so totaly fantastic! I mean, THANK YOU, this is way awsome!:D I only had time to take a quick peek at a few things But, this is like gold! Thank you so very much! I really appreciate this! You are wonderful! I can’t wait for Kerry to have time to see this. WOW!:D Thank you bunches, I’ll look at it a lot more this weekend. You’re the best!;) Love & Light, Lynella.
Kerry,
Check out Sue’s link above, it is really awsome! She really looks to be Kinder, doesn’t she? I think she’s definately family!:D
Do you know anything about the guy mom called Uncle Lije? I know his name was Eligiah or some such thing but I know nothing else about him. I saw a photo of him in the memory book that Donna had made for mom, he was like one photo below Frank Kinder. Donna asked mom who he was and she just grinned and said, “I don’t know.” Donna said, “That’s your Uncle Lije” Mom perked up and said, “Oh, yeah, I guess it is” and she giggled like a kid! It was so cute! Anyway, S.O.P on me!:D I see him in the Gentry line, I believe and if you get to looking through Saj,’s link above there are a couple of them. I’m curious if he was the Rev. that died in Indiana I think it was in the 1960’s. And if so, is that the one in Sue’s link that it is talking about having married a Creek Indian woman? Or is he the other one?:D
THANK YA’ KINDLY TAHCASKA, 😀 Love & Light, Me.
Lynella!
It’s pretty darn exciting isn’t it!!
“She looks to be Kinder”..were you talking about Kinder name or kin? Looks to be family..? Hey I just woke up and I’m dense!

Sue;
Hi – I’m Lynellas brother (Kerry). I have been paying attention to your posts. You have some good info., and you sound so much like Lynella (sometimes) it got me to laughing. Anyway I was on last night and did some reading in your link for the “Gentry Journal” there’s some really good history there. It kind of get’s on my nerves though trying to read things like that from the computer screen – so I’m going to start saving it to a file – then as I get the chance I’ll print it out. Anyway, thanks for the link, it’s great! 😀
