Beth Durner

My research on Beth Durner relies heavily on a submitted tree to Ancestry.com by some distant relative. If any of this information is factually incorrect please add a comment or e-mail me so that I can correct here and in my database.

Here goes!

Beth "Lulu" Durner was born on 24 October 1914 and passed away on 25 June 2005. I do not have a marraige date for her and MH. Beth and Maytor had two children: Mary Beth (20 April 1943) and William James (29 December 1945).

Beth's parents were James Durner and Virgie Elise Gentry. I have no information on the Durner side beyond that; however, on the Gentry side, Virgie's parents were John Martin Gentry and Mary Emeline Bussy of Arkansas. Virgie was one of 12 children.

John Martin was one of 13 children. His parents were Wesley William Gentry and Melvina Whited of Arkansas.

Wesley William Gentry was also one of 13 children. His parents were John Gentry and Priscilla Graham (originally of TN, but they apparently moved to AR). John was born in 1792 in Dandridge TN.

John was the oldest of seven children. His father, Martin, was born in VA in 1763, and his mother, Sarah was born in 1767 in either TN or NC.

Martin's parents were Robert Jentry and Judith Joyner. Robert was born in 1730 in Hanover, VA, and Judith was born in 1733 in Albermale, VA. Martin was one of nine known children.

Robert Jentry's parents were Nicholas Gentry and Mary Brooks. Nicholas was born 30 May 1697 in New Kent, VA; Mary was born about 1700 in Hanover, VA. Robert was one of 12 children. Well, sort of. Mary was Nicholas' fourth wife, and there were other children from the previous marriages that I have not included in the count.

Nicholas Gentry's parents were Nicholas Gentry and Lucy Cornelius. There were also multiple wives here as well, so the child count may be off. Nicholas (Sr. I guess) was born in 1655 in Essex England. Lucy waws born in 1660 In New Kent, VA.

Nicholas Sr.'s parents were Samuel Gentry and Margaret Draper. Once again, there are multiple wives involved. Samuel was 16 Dec 1627 in Thaxted, Great Dunmow, Essex, England. Margaret was born in 1627 in the same place.

Samuel's parents were Samuel Gentry (Sr.?) and Elizabeth Wade. Samuel Jr. was one of 12 children. Samuel Sr. was born in 1585 in Thaxted; Elizbeth was born 26 March 1587 in the same place.

Samuel Sr.'s parents were Simon Gentry and Alice Finch. Simon was born in 1549 in Lindsell, Essex England; Alice was born in the same place in 1533. Samuel was one of five children.

Simon's parents were John Gentry and Agnes (maiden name might be Lnu), and he was one of seven children. Each parent was born in Lindsell; John was born in 1510, while Agnes was born in 1514.

That's as far back as I can go on this particular line!

Is Beth Durner entombed in the beautiful doomed memorial at Inglewood Park Cemetery alongside Maytor H. McKinley ?
