Minerva A. Gentry

Notes:

Presumably this name was mis-spelled by the enumerator, he wrote Manerva! The name of the Roman goddess of crafts, Minerva, correctly spelled, appears to have been a popular name at the time. Minerva and J.W. are listed as heirs of her mother's estate in Grayson County in 1871. They received a small parcel of land west of Sherman on the Gainsville Sherman road. Vol 38 pg 442-443-444. They're listed again on records in 1883 when the family sold her deceased father's land in Hill County, Texas.

Family/Spouse: J. William Gentry. J. was born on 12 Oct 1837; died on 4 May 1897 in Grayson County, Texas; was buried in Cherry Mound Cemetery, Bells, Grayson County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
