  Notas	"I found in notes of John Gentry, son of Uncle Charlie, that James and Susanna stood before a preacher and were married in late 1830, then got Married with license in 1833." SOURCE: Chris = autocadmonkey@yahoo.com (originally from Louis Gentry??) This would explain the discrepancy between the official wedding date in 1833 and the birth of their first son in 1832. 24 Sept 2010: HOWEVER: All earñy records were destroyed in the 1850 courthouse file in Sullivan, so how did this one survive. Also, the typeface on the printed form is identical to that of the Ash Hollow job application. I SMELL A HOAX!!

  1) On June 12, 1825 he applied for a job with the BLM to work at Ash Hollow Way Station on the Oregon Train in today's Nebraska. A family tradition says he worked there for 5 years until approx 1830. (see BLM Work Appl. below). 2) Lived in Indiana from at least c 1832 at time of birth of first child to about 1842-45 (see #5 below). 3) Living in Missouri by 1845 when 7th child, Andrew T. Gentry, was born. 4) In 1850 census, James and Susanna Gentry were living in Bonhomme Twp, St Louis Co, Missouri. James gives his birthplace as Kentucky, age 42. 5) From the data in this census, the apparently moved to Missouri between 1842-1845: - their last child born in Indiana was Elisabeth, b. 1842. - Their first born in Missouri was Andrew J (or T), b. 1845. 6) In 1860 census (July) James and Susana are living in Macon Co, Missouri. James gives his birthplace as Kentucky, age 51. Must have been born July-Dec 1808. 7) In July 1865, James' son, James Louis Gentry, gives his place of residence as Macon Co, Missouri at the time of his amnesty from the Civil War. 8) The 1870 census shows James Sr. living in Wayne Co, Missouri with son and daughter-in-law James Louis and Harriet Gentry, so must assume Susanna has died by then. James Sr's birthplace is given as Tennessee. 9) He no longer appears in James Louis and Harriet Gentry's household in 1880, so he may have died by then (most likely) or has gone to live with another (unknown) member of the family. 10) Louis Gentry has his death as 1879. Others have it at 7 July 1876, but I have seen no evidence to support these dates, other than census records that would indicate a death between 1870 and 1880.
