A READER'S GUIDE TO NICHOLAS-II GENTRY DESCENDANTS

Found in the 1800 to 1840 Kentucky Tax and Census Reports

by
Willard Gentry
Revised 2014

Introduction
A very large proportion of the Gentrys who lived in Kentucky in the first half of the nineteenth century were descendants of Nicholas-II Gentry, son of Nicholas the Immigrant. Virtually all of these are described to varying degrees in Richard Gentry's 1909 compendium "The Gentry Family in America"<1> (GFA). It is frequently difficult, however, to identify the various family members he describes, with the many Gentrys found in census and other records. This article is designed to serve as an index for Gentry genealogists, in placing the families in relation to each other both in time and in place. Although most of the other Gentrys in Kentucky during that time can also be identified, this article is confined to just the one family to keep it from being overly lengthy and cumbersome.

The article is in two parts. In the first, the descendants of Nicholas are summarized by family and generation with a cross-reference to the census records in which they may be found. (Most but not all of the first two generations of Nicholas' descendants are included here.) In the second part, the 1800 tax lists as well as the 1810 to 1840 Kentucky census records are summarized in tabular form with an identification of the individual family associated with each entry where possible.

It will be noticed that there are three household records that have not been identified as to their relationship with the Nicholas-II Gentry family although it seems very probable that they were indeed closely related. If any reader can provide information concerning these "orphans", the writer would welcome such.

It will be noticed further that only the Nicholas Gentry descendants have been listed in the census records, as for example in Monroe County, where there were Gentrys of different descent present. Almost all of the counties and individual listings that are not included here can be identified, but they are not a part of this summary.

2. Henry Numbering is a scheme proposed by Reginald Buchanan Henry to catalog the descendants of a single individual. Starting with the number 1 for the starting individual, each member of the next generation is assigned a value according to the order of birth resulting in a digit that is added to the initial digit, e.g. 11, 12, 13, etc. which becomes the identification number for that individual. The same process is applied in recursive fashion to the descendants of each one of these individuals. For numbers 10 or greater, a common solution is to use hexadecimal-type numbers where A=10, B=11, etc., extending beyond the normal limit of F if necessary, so that there is a single digit or letter in each place holder location. Advantages to the system include the fact that it results in a unique number in which insertions can easily be added if new family members are discovered. Disadvantages include many digits for extensive generation chains, and if there is an error in the assignment of the order of birth in any generation, it throws off the numbers for all of the children born after the erroneous number.

For present purposes, we are modifying the basic scheme by eliminating any initial number that would represent Nicholas-II, and assigning the number "1" to his oldest child. In addition, we will be following the male line only, those with children surnamed Gentry, and so will ignore the daughters in every generation.
