1853 NEWS

To me this is a fascinating document.  There is a lot of information here for various families: Benton, Leach, Bryant, Gentry, Miller, Rogers, Smith, Brown, Fraught, and Taylor.

One note is that Rebecca Leach is noted as the daughter of Jonathan & Nancy Rogers.  All Leach researchers show Rebecca's surname as Raley and that Rebecca Raley married James S. Leach when she was 20 years old (1823).  I suppose she could have previously been married to a Rogers but when I look at the Jonathan Rogers Findagrave index there is no indication he had a daughter named Rebecca (other children are named).  So that is a bit of a mystery.  Could easily be an error by the newspaper.

The following was found in "Early Families of Hart Township, Vol 5, Some of the Gentrys in Warrick County, Indiana" published by the DAR in 2010, and compiled by Phyllis Morris Jamison. This book states that the earliest Gentry (known to the author) was Joseph Gentry (1728-1813 Virginia), who had 10 children, one of which was son Samuel (1750/60 Virginia - after 1816 Barren County, KY); and the following are descendants of Samuel (Samuel is referred to below as #3):
