My grandmother Mary Gentle was a sister of your John Henry Gentle.They were children of Pinkey Gentle and Mary Caroline Fincher.The third child was Lizzie Gentle.
Uncle John and Aunt Janie had two children, Genevie and Jim Clifton.Genevie died in 1995 at the age of 101 and lived until shortly before her death in the house of her father and mother.She had married Frank Dickey but he died young.My mother Sallie Lucy Smith was very close to that family since her mother Mary had died in childbirth and she was raised by her Gentle grandparents.I was named after Genevie Gentle.I am interested in your connection.
