My name is Vicky (Gentry) Patton. David James Gentry was my Great-Great Grandfather. The information as I know it as to David James Gentry's ancestry is as follows:
David James Gentry's father was:
Burgess Gentry (born about 1801)
Burgess Gentry had 2 wives:
(1) Polly Parrish (married 29 May 1825)
Children Included:
Berry Gentry
Matilda Gentry
Francis Gentry
(2) Annis Parrish
Children Included: (named in Burgess's will-Campbell Co, GA)
David James Gentry
Samuel Gentry
Wiley Gentry
Ruthy Gentry
Mary Gentry
Nancy Gentry

Burgess Gentry's father was:
John Gentry (born about 1764? VA?) (Will probated 1836)
Children Included: (named in John's will-Campbell Co, GA)
Burgess Gentry
Elias E Gentry
Wiley R Gentry
Rhoda Gentry

As a footnote...the lineage from John appears to go back to Nicholas and Samuel Gentrys in Virginia and then in North Carolina, but it is not all clear to me at this time.
