    • Known as Ginny. Later in life she had a large goiter or growth on her neck.

      She believed that she was born in Missouri.

      She recorded that she had six children, five of whom were still alive in 1910. As she only recorded five children in 1900, the sixth, who died, must have been born circa. 1895 when she would have been 36 years of age.

    • Fay Payne Yeager reports they had another daughter, named Mary. "She is not on a census but family history tells that John and Pamelia had a daughter named Mary that died young. An old saying was, "If a person is sitting by a window and a bird comes and sits on the window sill, that person is going to die." This happened to Mary." Ken Harvey is adament their is not daughter Mary. It was thought that a gravestone in the Oakland Cemetery in Johnson Co. TX that reads: "Sacred to the Memory of M. Mary Gentry Jan. ?, 18?5 (1865?) -- 1869" might be hers. However, an earlier transcription of the cemetery proves that this headstone was for the wife of Preacher William Gentry, whose date of birth was 1805, and who died in 1869.
