Gentry went west to Dickens County, he thought. He became a sort of
lawyer and was elected a county judge. Thought he lived till the early
1900s. The teacher was his third wife. First a Snow;
then, a Day. She was a sister to Mrs. Conner, a teacher, in Fort Worth.
(Was fond of her when a child, when here.) Mr. and Mrs. Conner were both
teachers. He did not think that Gentry was born in the county, and he was
about fifteen years older than Mr. Williams
(Mr. E. A. Perry, the banker, told me that when his children were small
he was called upon to take the written deposition of Old Captain Frederick
Gentry, father of George, and veteran of San
Jacinto. It seems to have been in some sort of libel suit in East Texas.
That it was very interesting, but he could not recall the county, and, of
course, had no copy.
