I know it's 10 years later,but I thought I would try. I hope we can swap some info. First,I am kin to Mattie, Minnie,John, by way of Gentrys, even tho my name is McCarty. Mattie's mom,Elizabeth Gentry McCarty was sister to my ancestor Martha Gentry McCarty. Their husbands were close, like brothers, but DNA says that they were not related.U may B wanting mostly info on Thomas, I don't know much on him.I don't know how much you know, or what you want to know. I have 5 old letters, early 1900's,written to their cousins here where I live, Sherman MS,where Mattie,et al,use to live,I will share scans of. Mattie's sister Ruth married Cisero Lackey and moved to Hughes co.,OK, later.Trying to keep this short for now.Later,W.G.McCarty
