You wrote "The main question now, and probably the obvious, is how are you related to Levi Gentry, (father of Martha and others)?"

I just posted my complete 'Gentry' lineage under a rely to Martha (Gentry) Holloway so you can check it out there.

I did find David H. Gentry (b. 1826) listed as a child of Levi F. Gentry, but they have his wife listed as Sarah, not Mary Holly. Here is the link:

I did find David W. Gentry (b. 1826) listed as a child of Levi F. Gentry, but they have his wife listed as Sarah, not Mary Holly. Here is the link:

I did find David Gentry (b. 1824) listed as a child of Levi F. Gentry, but they have no wife listed.Here is the link:

----------------------------------------------------------
So above I have three references to the son of Levi:
David H. Gentry who has wife listed as Sarah
David W. Gentry who has wife listed as Sarah
David Gentry who has no wife listed.
----------------------------------------------------
Here is a U.S.CENSUS extract that says his wife is Sarah:

1850 US CENSUS; MISSISSIPPI
Lowndes Co.,
David W age 24
Sarah age 19
-------------------------------------------------------
The age would be correct if he was born in 1826, and it lists his middle initial as [W.] not [H.]

So my question is, are Sarah and Mary Holly the same person, or did David have a 2nd wife named Mary Holly?

Do you by chance have a U.S. CENSUS extract that lists
Mary as the wife of David W. Gentry (b. 1826)?
