Lyn;
She definately sounds to have the “Kinder” sense of humor; and she’s got the dark hair – May be related? 😉
As for Elijah Gentry. I do have a photograph someplace of him with several of moms family (i.e. Alsie Kinder and some of the others). I don’t know alot about him except mom called him Uncle “LI’j” (try to spell it like it would sound – would be closer to “Lie’ge”). And yes he was the “Rev.” which I believe to mean “Reverend”. I’m doing some studying up on him. I spent most of last night doing Google searches on him and also Our Rachel C. A. Evans and Ezra Evans. But I’m not finding much on any of them. 🙁
Yep! I’m going to hopefully get to Elizabeth Miller-Evans tomorrow some time. There are Evans’ I’ve found hither and yawn but I don’t have much to compare to so I don’t know if what I have is any good or not. Now, what about my fried brain?:)
Lynella,
Hey! And i am keeping you too!!
Kerry, if you were in South Bend, Ind. you were only about 15 miles away from Elkhart where I live…that’s crazy!
Kinder as in children? (German)
Happy New Year!:) Sue J
Sue,
😀 Oh, thank you! That’s so sweet!;) Yes, that is crazy, see how very small the world really is? And yes, children too. Love & Light, Lynella.;)
Lynella,
I have found a website on the Allen’s which mentions Gentrys and Allens….Robert Sr. is my direct with Joseph his son my direct line.. there are other names here..I think that some of the children given if anyone reads the descendants of Wm. are not quite right..they are all descendants but not necessarily of him and instead of a son, etc.. but nonetheless I don’t discount the info from will info or deeds, etc.

Sue,
Thank you very much!:D That is most interesting and it has a little history in it too. Nicholas Gentry, I think I did read that he came over from England, but Kerry should have a peek at this and verify it for me. This is really quite cool. It talks about land and such. I just love this sort of thing!;) Again, thank you. I’m going to have to check it out further tomorrow. Providing this Computer doesn’t go dead on me again! Love & Light, Lynella.
Lynella and Kerry,
here’s another connection. Wm Allen brother to Joseph (my direct Line) married Frances Grant..Had son William born Person co 1752 married Sarah Howard born Caswell co NC 1765..had son Thomas H Allen..married Sarah “Sally” Gentry..daughter of shadrach Gentry, son of allen Gentry brother to Joseph Gentry…
I think if we keep looking we may find other connections…
Sue J
Sue – Thanks again (this is awesome). 😀 I think I’ve seen that name “Shadrach” on some one of the documents I’ve looked at recently. I’ll double check that when I get a chance. At the moment though I’m doing a little research on my Ricketts line. It does seem plausible that we will find some connection.:D
I recognize a Shadrack Gentry that turns up in Kerry and Lynella’s part of S.Ind, N.Ky in the time frame they’re looking at. I don’t think he’s in their direct line but he’s a relative and therefore a connection between several of us. Could be developed more. Bill.
🙂 Sue and Bill,:)
Thank you a billion times! It would be so cool, wouldn’t it? I can hardly wait to see the links here. Hey even if it’s quite remote, it’s stiil cool! Get this, I’m about to S.O.P myself Bill, fair warning!! I’ll make it as brief as I can. The world is so small, like I keep saying, I’m finding that I have something in common with one of our Sheriff’s Deputies up here in Bailey. He is half Vietnamese, cute as hell, but, I consider him a friend and nothing more. His father’s last name is Wood, how aften have we seen this name come up? And His father is from Indiana and his Grandmother was Native American. When I look at him I don’t see any Vietnamese, he’s Native all the way–as far as I can tell!:D S.O.P!!!!!!!
I’m so excited about all this Gentry, Allen, Rickett’s, and everything. WOW! This is so fun!;) Love & Light, Lynella.
