Robert Gentry

(Abt 1726 - Bef 1811)



Birth years from 1725 to 1730 are seen for Robert - all are guesstimates.

Robert married Judith Joyner, daughter of Philip Joyner. She was born 1732 in Albemarle, and died 1803 in Jefferson Co TN. Robert then married Rachel West 13 Nov 1804 in Jefferson Co TN.

In 1761, Robert's father-in-law, Phillip Joyner made bequests to five children of Robert & Judith, indicating the couple had been married probably at least 10 years. This would necessarily place him as one of the oldest children.

Robert's children moved from Virginia to Tennessee in the earliest years of settlement. They lived east of Dandridge TN on the French Broad River

Children listed on a Find-AGrave memorial #50201244 include:
Charles b. say 1755 in Albemarle, VA. Married Elizabeth Joyner about 177 and died in Overton Co, TN
Jesse, b. about 1757, died 1834
Elizabeth, b. 1758. Married Murror Morror, 1785, Albemarle

Mary, b. 1762, d. 1784. First wife of Marmaduke Kimbrough.
Martin, b. 1763, d. 1823
Tabitha, b. 1776 (seems quite late compared to the others - possibly 1766?)
