    Matthew Johnson

    M, b. circa 1813, d. between 1860 and 1870

    Birthc 1813 Matthew Johnson was born c 1813 at VA. One family source identified Mathew's father as Samuel Johnson. There is as yet no substantiation for that information.1 
    Occupation He was Matthew Johnson was a shoemaker. 
    Marriage18 Aug 1839 He married Mary "Polly" Fore, daughter of Jesse Fore and Nancy C. [--M?--] Fore, on 18 Aug 1839 at Union County, GA. Keith Townson, former Union County GA Rootsweb Coordinator, found a very small book "Union County GA Marriages" in the Rome-Floyd Library in Rome, GA. It had no publisher or copyright information, nor was there any information about the person who gathered the data and put it into book form. In that book, there was a record of a marriage of Mathew Johnson and Mary "Poore" in 1839. A copy of the certificate, No. 253, provided by the Union County Probate Court, identifies the day of the marriage as the 18th, but does not identify the month. However, the immediately following certificate, No. 254, is dated 19 Aug 1839, so August is most likely correct. 
    1840 Census1840 Matthew Johnson was listed as head of a household on the 1840 census of Union County, GA. Based on age and gender, his household could have included his wife Mary "Polly" Fore, his daughter Sarah (female under age 5). Enumerated in the next entry on the same census page was the family of Polly's father, Jesse Fore.2 
    1850 Census19 Jul 1850 Matthew Johnson and Mary "Polly" Fore Johnson appeared on the 1850 Federal Census of Division No. 1, Somerset, Pulaski County, KY, enumerated 19 Jul 1850. Matthew was shown as a 37-year-old shoemaker, born VA; Mary was shown as age 32, born GA. Their children Sarah, Napoleon B., Louisa and James were listed as living with them. The oldest three children -- Sarah, 9, Napoleon, 7, and Louisa, 5 -- were shown as born GA; the youngest, James, age 1, was shown as born KY. Only Napoleon was shown as attending school.3 
    1860 Census1 Jun 1860 Matthew Johnson and Mary "Polly" Fore appeared on the 1860 Federal Census of District 1, Somerset, Pulaski County, KY, enumerated 1 Jun 1860. Matthew was shown as a 46-year-old shoemaker, born VA; Mary (Polly) as 39, born NC. Their children Napoleon B., Louisa, James, William F. P., Mary Perkins, Martha H. "Mattie" and Penelope Bertrand were listed as living with them. The older two children (Napoleon, shown as a 17-year-old clerk, and Louisa shown as age 13) were born GA; the others -- James K., 9; William, 7; Mary, 5; Martha, 3; and Nelly, 1, were all shown as born KY.4 
    Deathbt 1860 - 1870 Matthew Johnson died bt 1860 - 1870 at prob KY. Mathew was on the 1860 census with his family in Kentucky, but not on the 1870 census with them in Texas. One family source posits that Mathew might have been killed during the Civil War around 1862 when heavy fighting occurred in the area of Pulaski County KY. There is no substantiation for that theory.

    Note  From the Journal of Gentry Genealogy, Vol. 2, No. 5: "Elijah appears to be the youngest of the sons of David and Sarah Gentry. He joined his brothers in serving in the South Carolina militia during the Revolutionary War, but then the next reference to him comes in Georgia, not South Carolina. Like Elisha, his name appears occasionally in early Georgia records that predate census and other records, continuing until perhaps 1802 (later references to an Elijah Gentry in Georgia probably were to Elisha's son). We have no further knowledge of him until 1818, when Elijah's son, James, was named executor of Elijah's will in Monroe County, in the newly formed state of Mississippi. From this will, and later court and census records, we learn that Elijah had children that included James, Simon and Sarah who were all born in South Carolina, and at least two sons, Elijah Jr., and Josiah who were born in Georgia. In a later divorce proceeding involving Simon, Elijah's widow is identified as being Hannah Gentry."


    That article also has the following references to Elijah Gentry:

Gannon, Montgomery, AL, and part of Leonardo Andrea collection at Univ. of South Carolina Library, Colombia, SC: "Names indexed in SC Historical Commission for Revolution an unknown place -- Cain Gentry, John Gentry, Elijah Gentry, Hezekiah Gentry, Simon Gentry."

    Milit SvceJan 1813 He served in the 1 Regiment U.S. Volunteers in Jan 1813 at MS. Thge unit was also called the 1 Regiment Mississippi Territorial Volunteers. He entered as a private, and was discharged as a private [Source: Genealogy.Com database, book, 'Mississippi Territory in the War of 1812,' by Eron Opha Rowland (p.179)]

    Note that the Mississippi Territorial Volunteers are often called the "twelve-month volunteers"; their last engagement was at the Battle of Holy Ground in December 1813 and they were mustered out and returned to their homes shortly after that battle. The area where that battle was fought is now in Lowndes County, AL, and Lowndes County is right in the center of what was originally created as Monroe County AL (where Elijah Sr. died in 1818).

    In the history of the 155th Infantry: "1st Detachment of Mississippi Volunteers (also known as Colonel F. L. (Claiborne's Regiment of Mississippi Territorial Militia, and as 1st Regiment Mississippi Territorial Volunteers) organized in late summer of 1812 by voluntary enrollment of men from various militia regiments; entered Federal service 6 September 1812; reorganized March-April 1813 as 1st Regiment United States Volunteers (1st Regiment Mississippi Territory Volunteers) a 12-month corps of Volunteers; released 27 April 1814 from Federal service."5 
    Census1816 He appeared on the census of 1816 at Monroe County, MS Terr (later AL); Shown as head of household with one male over age 21, two females over age 21, two males under age 21 and one female under age 21. Note however that none of the Gentrys are listed on the tax roll for Monroe County in 1816.6 
    Deathbt 17 Nov 1817 - 11 May 1818 He died bt 17 Nov 1817 - 11 May 1818 at Monroe County, AL Territory. James was named executor of Elijah's will on May 11, 1818 in Monroe County, AL. There is an earlier reference to "the petition of Elijah Gentry" in the court records of November 11, 1817. It is therefore most likely that Elijah died between November 11, 1817 and May 11, 1818.3,7
