Linda:
I found Joshua and Mary in a study done a few years ago.The information is as follows:Joshua Fentress was the son of Jeremiah Fentress and Jacamine Whitehurst; Jeremiah was the son of John Fentress and Keziah Smith; John Fentress was the son of John T. Fentress Sr. and Letisha Hopkins; John T. Fentress Sr. was the son of John Fentress and Ann Hopkins; John Fentress was the son of Michael Fentress and Ann (Goldsmith); and Michael was the son of Michael Fentress.
Joshua Fentress was born about 1790 and died Feb. 10, 1841.He married Mary Bartee, who was born about 1799, on Dec. 29, 1815 in Norfolk County, VA.Norfolk County is now the City of Chesapeake, VA, where, by the way, the US Navy jets practice takeoffs and landings at Fentress Airfield.Joshua and Mary had the following children:John Robert Fentress born Feb 2, 1839 and died Oct 1, 1914; Susan Fentress born 1832; Keziah Fentress; Mary Fentress; Elizabeth Fentress; and Wilson Fentress.
The above information came from a study of a portion of the Fentress family done by Melinda Lukei in Virginia Beach, VA.The study is well researched and documented and Melinda has copies for sale.Anyone may contact her at [email protected] hope this helped...
