J. M. Gentry
M, #142922, d. after 1911
Biography
J. M. Gentry married
Mary E. Windell, daughter of
William H. Windell and
Sarah Jane DeLong, on 11 April 1911 in Ross Co., OH, According to the Ross County marriage record, this J. M. Gentry was the son of W. M. and Elizabeth (Potts) Gentry. No person with this name is found in Ross County public records of that time. There was an Elizabeth Potts (1827 - 1912) who married William Marion Gentry on 15 NOV 1855 at Chattooga County, Georgia. They had a son, John Gentry, born about 1859, as listed in the 1860 census, Broom Tow Valley, Chatooga County. This appears to be the same family listed at Mulberry, Franklin County, Arkansas as of the 1870 census, with sons John, age 12, and James, age 10. One of these sons could have been the J. M. Gentry who married Mary E. Windell in 1911, although how either of them ended up marrying in Ross County, Ohio is very difficult to imagine, given that they appear to have lived most of their adult lives in Texas. Whoever the J. M. Gentry was, this marriage appears not to have lasted long, as a June 1913 newspaper article about Mary's daughter Bessie Toops' marriage, names Bessie's mother as "Mrs. Mary Toops of Vine street". Mary (Windell) Toops is found living in the Athens Ohio state hospital for the insane as of the 1920 census, where she died in 1921. J. M. Gentry died after 1911.
