Sarah "Sallie" Harding, daughter of Aaron Harding (1805-1875) and Margaret Campbell (1818-1858), married James H. Gentry 23 May 1882. They lived near Danville and had a child, Julia Harding Gentry, 1 June 1883. Sallie died at Danville at the age of 76.

Aaron and Margaret (Campbell) Harding had five children: Mattie, John, Samuel, Sallie and Robert. Sallie's brother Robert, three years younger than she was, lived in Greensburg until ten years of age and was raised partly in Washington, D. C., while his father was in Congress, so very likely she lived in Greensburg until about age 13 and then lived in D.C. for a time.

Both she and her husband, then her future husband, were attendants in the very elegant Trinity Church wedding of her brother Robert to Maggie B. Robinson, which is chronicled in an elaborate notice in a local newspaper of the time (see USGenWebs Archives). Her brother was at that time county attorney for Boyle County.
