INTRODUCTORY NOTES
All the old records that would give us information about these old Gentrys have been destroyed by fire, except a portion of the Register and Vestry Book of St. Peter's, in New Kent, and the Vestry Book in St. Paul's Parish, in Hanover. If the record of these two counties had been preserved, doubtless the complete line of descent of both immigrants could have been found, and much early interesting data could have been secured. It appears from the records that these old immigrants continued to live in their old homes for about 55 years and until they died. They were undoubtedly born in England, came to this country as very young men, and married in Virginia about the time they entered their lands.
Nicholas Gentry of the second generation, the son of Nicholas the immigrant, lived in Albemarle County, Va., situated adjoining and west of Louisa County, at the time of his death. He left a will, which was probated in 1779, naming his seven sons and several other beneficiaries. Most of the male descendants of the seven sons have been traced down to the present date in Part II of this book.
Most of the Gentrys of the third generation remained in Virginia ;but David and Martin, sons of Nicholas II, followed their children to Madison County, Ky., when old men, and their brother Robert moved to Jefferson County, Tenn., in 1783, with his family.
DAVID GENTRY, of Albemarle Co., Va. (Nicholas II, Nicholas I.)
Born in Hanover Co., Va., about 1724. He sold land in Louisa, Aug. 22, 1748, to John Brooks. He again deeded land in Albemarle, 178 acres on Doyles River, to his brother, Martin Gentry, Nov. 10, 1778, and he bought of Thomas Hull of Goochland, 500 acres in Albemarle, May 14, 1778. He married twice. First wife's name is unknown ; second wife was Mary Estes, a daughter of Reuben Estes, and they were married about 1758. He followed his children to Kentucky in his old age, and made his home with his son Richard. He died at about 88 years of age, and was buried in the old Gentry graveyard on the old Richard Gentry homestead, six miles south of Richmond, in Madison Co., Ky.
