  According to a family story, Marle Lee was the twin brother of John Pleasant Gentry (son of Moses Gentry). The twins were born in 1778 in Albemarle Co, Virginia, and Marle was given to a family of friends (Rob and Josie Parker) for care as his mother was unable to nurse both. They tried to reincorporate him into the family at age 5, but he resisted and was returned to the Parkers. At age 14 Marle was apprenticed to a family acquaintance in Kentucky who was a blacksmith. He never returned to his original family, and was not mentioned in the will of Moses Gentry. Subsequent records (tax records, James work application, census) have Marle as residing in Henderson, Kentucky. The evidence that he was married to Bell (Mercer?) and that they were the parents of Marle and lived in Henderson, Kentucky is James' BLM work application in 1825. This story about Marle's family background requires further research for verification and documentation. Marle Lee and Bell Gentry, age 62 (b. 1778), occupation wheelwright, appears in the 1840 US Census for Henderson County, Kentucky, Barlebo Township with wife Bell Gentry, age 58 (b. 1782), occupation wife. Birthplace for both is listed as Kentucky. Address listed as "Corner of Day and Potter (or Putter / Polter / Pulter ) Road. NOTE: This is only a handwritten transcription of the 1840 census (not a photocopy), and it lists Bell Gentry, which is odd, as only heads of household are listed in the 1840 census... I have also not been able to find any reference to Barlebo Township or to Marle and Belle Gentry in any census records for Henderson County or city. NOTES from Louis Gentry (for further research): ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marle was s wheelwright...Was living near Henderson Kentucky in 1802 He was the owner of slaves Named---Ace Black---Jo Jo---and a female---Doro. Proof And Source. Kentucky State Poll Tax On Slaves, Henderson Co. Township Barlebo, Henderson, Kentucky, 7/3/1822 Marle Lee Gentry Paid On 3, Ace Black, Jo Jo, And A Female Doro.-$6 Paid.. Due 7/1823 Marle L. is on work Application of James Gentry, Listed as Father.
