The Isom B. Gentry of the 1850 Platte Co., MO census is undoubtedly a son of Isom Gentry who appeared earlier in Platte Co. in the 1840 census. Isom B. would have been one of the sons that were 15-20 years old in that census.
While I have not found Isom Sr. in any 1830 census, I am sure he is the same Isham/Isom who appeared in the 1810 and 1820 Lincoln Co., KY census. This Isham married Elizabeth Lunsford in 1803 in Lincoln Co., and his presumed brother, John, married Rebecca Richards in 1809. I have assumed that the Polly Gentry who married David McCullum in 1824 and the Casandra Gentry who married George McAfee in 1825 (all in Lincoln Co.) were daughters of Isham/Isom. Isom is also mentioned as a defendant in a court case in July 1804 in Madison Co., KY. He is included in tax lists of KY landholders in 1805 through 1809. In 1809, he is shown as having 350 acres on Dicks R. (which runs from Lincoln Co. into Mercer Co.)
Isom's brother John is shown in the same 1810 census as Isom with a newly married wife, but he is not listed in 1820. Instead, it appears probable that his wife Rebecca died, and John was living with Isom in 1820, along with a son born 1810-1820. The same brother may be the older man (born 1790-1800), living with Isom in Platte Co., MO, in 1840.
I do not know where these two brothers originated.
