 The parish register books of St. Peter's Parish show that Nicholas Gentry's daughter was baptized in the church in 1687.The records also reflect other Gentrys, probably Nicholas Gentry's relations, Peter and Samuel Gentry.As the result of arson confessed to by John Price Posey and Tho Green, and, allegedly, involving "a negro boy belonging to W. Chamberlayne" on July 15, 1787, many later county records were burned, making identifying relationships between family members difficult.
