Mary Frances Gentry

(1 Sep 1848 - 5 Nov 1894)



Family tree on Ancestry - she is said to be the daughter of Isaac Gentry and Elizabeth Churchwell who married 28 Nov 1846 - but this is very wrong.

I found living in Madison Co, KY, in 1850 the following family:
Bayley Gentry, 43. Lucinda, 33
James W., 14. David B., 12. Miranda, 10. Plesant, 8. Richard, 6, and Mary F., age 3

Found in Madison County Marriages, 1852-1876:
Amanuel Kelly, born Estill Co, age 19, married 25 Sep 1865, to Mary Frances Gentry, age 18. Bondsman was John Kindred. Consent by John Kindred, guardian of the groom and by Bailey Gentry, father of the bride. MB 8, p.195
So this couple had a first cousin relationship.

Bailey Gentry, 2nd marriage, age 57, married 17 Dec 1859 to Mrs. Margaret J. Reeves, age 37.
Madison County Marriages, 1823-1851
Bailey Gentry to Lucinda Kindred. Nathaniel Kindred, father of the bride and bondsman. Bond dated 21 Apr 1835; return on 23 Apr 1835.
