  Notes	Email from Lynell Cordell dated 10-22-2001: Well now, I thought John William Gentry probably married Julia in Oklahoma but if her father was an early settler of Brewster Co. then I guess they met and married there. At least, this looks to be her father. Big Bend Genealogical Society BIOGRAPHIES OF SOME EARLY BIG BEND AREA SETTLERS Robert Dowling Zumwalt R. D. Zumwalt resided in Brewster County as early as 1911. He served in the Confederate forces during the War Between the States--as a Private in 136 Regiment Texas Cavalry, enlisting in Lockhart Texas. He was born in 1846 in Lavaca County, Texas and died August 16, 1926 in El Paso and is buried in the Evergreen Cemetery. He was married twice. His first wife died in 1919 and he married second Mrs. Elizabeth Sollie. R. D. moved to El Paso in about 1916. He was involved in the mercantile business and was a salesman until a short time before his death. At his death, survivors were listed as his wife and four sons-Sam, Floyd N., Robert, and D. F. and three daughters-Mrs. J. J. Kent, Mrs. Carolyn Franks, Mrs. J. W. Gentry of Alpine. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Also found this, which says that John W. was a Senior. IF this is the same John, and I think it has to be.

Unless they were divorced or.....unless the records below aren't the same Julia Gentry. The TX death records gives the county of death and Social Security gives the last residence and where the last benefit was paid. These don't look to be the same Julia but they both died in March 1981 which I think is strange.
