Nicholas Gentry I immigrated circa 1684; Per Gentry [1909:14-15]:
"There is a tradition in the family that the first Gentrys to settle in America were two young men, brothers, who came from England as British soldiers, and settled in Virginia. In support of this tradition, we find that the first Gentrys to settle in America were Nicholas Gentry and Samuel Gentry, who entered land in New Kent County, Va., in 1684. A further fact tends to confirm this tradition: that the British soldiers sent over to Virginia by Charles II, with the commissioners to settle the controversy between Gov. Berkeley and the people of Virginia at the time of the Bacon Rebellion in January, 1677, were not paid off and discharged until the fall of 1683, and many of them remained and settled in Virginia.
"Note. On January 29, 1677, an English fleet arrived in Hampton Roads, under command of Admiral Sir John Berry, with a regiment of soldiers, under command of Colonel Herbert Jeffries, and Colonel Francis Moryson. Sir William Berkeley, then Governor of Virginia, joined them at Kequotan, now called Hampton, and held an interview with them on the Bristol, the Admiral's flagship. Sir John Berry, Colonel Herbert Jeffries and Colonel Moryson were the three Commissioners. General Bacon had died and peace was soon restored, through the presence of the soldiers and the negotiations of the commissioners. Governor Berkeley was so enraged, so revengeful, and vindictive, that he caused to be executed, of those who had opposed him, twenty three of the most prominent and wealthy citizens of the colony. Governor Berkeley was recalled and ceased to be Governor April 27th, 1677, and returned to England with the fleet. Colonel Jeffries acted as Governor until the arrival of Lord Culpepper in 1680, who was recalled to England in 1683. Before his departure in the fall of 1683 he paid off the soldiers in Spanish piasters, worth five shillings, which he had made by proclamation worth six shillings, in payment for debts. Governor Berkeley soon died in England of a broken heart. King Charles II, said of him : " The old fool has taken away more lives in that naked country, man I for the murder of my father." (See Neills Va. Carolorum.)⁷" He is mentioned in the Land Transaction of Samuel (III) Gentry on 21 October 1684 at New Kent Co., Virginia, USA; Per Gentry [1909:15-16]: "In the old land books there is a record of a patent in favor of Samuel Gentry for three hundred acres of land in New Kent County, Va., dated October 21, 1684, and described as follows: " On the south side of York River, between the heads of the branches of the said river and the heads of the branches of Totopotomoy's creek adjoining the lands of Col. John Page, Edward Hardin and Nicholas Gentry." There is no record of a patent to land to Nicholas Gentry; the records containing his entry or deeds having been destroyed."⁸

Echoes of the Past
A Book For the Descendents of John Alexander Gentry & Minnie Bell Woods
Compiled by Helen Watson Edwards Montgomery, AL 1992, Pg. 67
     Robert Gentry was born in 1730 in Hanover, Virginia (later became Louisa County). He was the 5th child of Nicholas II and Jane (her maiden name is unknown). Robert was reared in a landed family, owning a plantation with a number of slaves in what is now Louisa County, Virginia. Robert was educated because he signed his deeds. He married Judith Joyner, daughter of Phillip Joyner of Albermarle County, Virginia.
     Robert and Judith had seven children, four boys and three girls. These children consist of Charles, Jesse, Bartlett, Martin, Elizabeth, Sarah, and Mary. The first child was born in 1755 so Robert and Judith probably married in about 1752 or 1753.
     When Judith's father died in 1762, Robert Gentry was one of the witnesses of Phillip Joyner's will. Robert Gentry's sons, Charles and Jesse, inherited 200 acres of land each from their grandfather. This land is now the University of Virginia.
     In 1776, Robert and Judith sold 234 acres in Albermarle county, Virginia, to John Woodson and probably left shortly there after to go to what is now East Tennessee, but then was known as Washington County, North Carolina. Robert was probably about 47 years old. They may have soon been drawn into the Revolutionary War. Robert and his sons Jesse and Martin probably served in the Revolutionary War under North Carolina Militia as there is a record in the North Carolina Military Pay Roll Department where they requested payment for services although it does not say what those services were. It is logical to assume that they were for military service.
     The earliest record found of Robert Gentry's presence in East Tennessee is that of his oldest son, Charles, serving on the first Grand Jury of Washington County, North Carolina. (East Tennessee)
     Both Robert and Charles are listed on the first tax lists of Washington County which are on file in the County Court Clerk's office in the court house at Jonesboro, Tennessee. On this list Robert showed property valued at 173 pounds 10 shillings and was charged a tax of 1 pound 15 shillings and 6 pence.
     The May 1780 minutes of the Washington County Court of Pleas in Vol 1, mention Robert Gentry putting up bond to guarantee his presence as a witness in the trial of the State vs William Nelson who was charged with passing counterfeit money. Robert was apparently put under bond to guarantee his attendance as a witness.
     The Court records show that in 1781 Robert was on a jury in a case of the State vs Patrick Murphy on a charge of stealing a bell. Incidentally Mr. Murphy was found not guilty.
     In May, 1782, Robert was again on a jury.
     Robert moved to Jefferson County in 1783. He is listed as one of the earliest settlers in that area. His name is on the earliest records of the courts and in the second church founded around Dandridge, Tennessee. The French Broad Baptist Church was established about two and a half miles East of Dandridge in 1786, by Jonathan Mulkey and Isaac Barton. Robert Gentry's name is on the original roll of members. Charles' name also appeared on the original membership roll as the church clerk.'
     Robert received two land grants from the State of North Carolina. One of them dated 1783 was for 375 acres on little Limstone Creek. Another land grant occurred in 1787 for 475 acres on the head of Kelsey's Mill Creek in Green County. In February 1789 Robert sold land to Hugh and James Cunningham and it was acknowledged in open court. In the same court Robert was a witness to a man's power of attorney.
     Then in February 1790 Robert appeared before the court to report he sold Thomas Embree 62 acres of land. (In the early days it was the custom to appear in court to vouch for your signature on a deed to make a record of it and authenticate it.
     In Jefferson County court Minutes in February Session 1795 it says, "Robert Gentry hath leave to record his mark which is a crop and two half pennys in the right ear and a swallow fork in the left". It was the custom in those days to mark their cattle to show ownership.
     Sometime during this time Robert lost his wife, Judith, because there is a record of his marriage to Rachel West on November 13, 1804. Robert would have been about 74 years old and his new wife was probably beyond the child bearing age as they had no children. Robert Gentry died sometime during the year of 1811 as his will was probated at that time. He is probably buried outside of Dandridge, Tennessee, but thus far there is no record of the location of his grave.

     "Nathaniel Haggard was born November 21, 1723. [He first married Mary Hazelrigg in 1743, who died about a month after giving birth to his first son, Henry Hazelrigg Haggard]. Secondly, he married Elizabeth Gentry. They settled in Albemarle County, Virginia, and in 1788 they went to Kentucky, settling three miles south of where Winchester now stands and where George W. Haggard now lives, in the same house, which is undoubtedly the oldest building of any kind in the county. Nathaniel Haggard died August 21, 1820, at the ripe age of ninety-seven years. He raised a family of seven sons and three daughters. All of his children were born in Virginia, and some of them never settled in Clark County.
     Those of them who did were : (1) John Haggard, born in 1754, married Mary Shepherd. They settled about eight miles south of Winchester, and raised four sons and four daughters - Pleasant, who married a Miss Watts; Martin, who married Sallie Hampton; John, who married Rhoda Quisenberry, daughter of Rev. James Quisenberry; David T., who married Patsey Adams; Polly who married Minor Winn; Elizabeth, who married Joel Quisenberry, son of Rev. James Quisenberry; Sallie who married Jessie Hampton; and Nancy, who married David Reed. David T. Haggard was the father of Judge Augustine I. Haggard and grandfather of Judge Rodney Haggard.
