passed into Scotland where they allied
themselves by marriage and otherwise
with the clan to which they subsequently,

u.s. MARTIN-GENTRY.- follow
ing notes taken from the History of AL
bemarle' may throw some light on the
query. Up. 26s)
In 1745 Captain Joseph Martin, from
Essex County. obtained grants for 200
acres of land in Albemarle County. He
and his wife, Ann, had eleven children,
Brice, William, Joseph, John, George,
Sarah, the wife OF John Burrus; Mary,
the wife of - Hammack; Susan. Mar
tina, Ann and Olive. the wife probably Of
Ambrose Edwards. Captain Joseph Mar
tin died in 1861. The William Martin who
moved to Madison County. Kentucky.
may have been his son.
James Martin was the head Of another

Of his six sons. Stephen. John, James,
Obadiah, William and David. These sons.
or most of them, emigrated to North Car
olina about the time of the revolution 1t
is possible that the William Martin of
this family may be the one desired.
The different Gentry families in Abe
marie seem to have sprung from the
same head page 205). Nicholas Gentry
died in 1779. leaving eleven children,
Moses, David. Nicholas Mary Hinson,
Robert Benajah, Nathan. Martin, Eliz-
abeth Haggard. Jane Undertake. and
Ann Jenkins. Few of the descendants are
given but 1t Is evident that Winifred
Gentry must have been the daughter Of
one Of the sons The name Martin Cen
try occurring in this family would indi-
cate kindred or friendship at this early
date.
Moses Gentry bought land in IT'S and
died in 1910
David and Martin Gentry owned land
before 177s.
BenaJah Martin began to purchase land
in 1894.
Robert Gentry bought land in 1885,
1t will be seen that the members Of this
family were all grown and settled before
the revolution. Many Of them went to
Kentucky and so did the Martin family.
The facts indicate that these are the Mar
tin and Gentry families desired,
