  Father	Joseph S Tate,   b. 5 Oct 1867, Sequatchie County, Tennessee, USA ,   d. 9 Oct 1941, Palmer, Grundy County, Tennessee, USA  (Age 74 years)
  Mother	Flora A Layne,   b. 17 Dec 1868, Sequatchie County, Tennessee, USA ,   d. 26 Jan 1944, Palmer, Grundy County, Tennessee, USA  (Age 75 years)
  Married	11 Aug 1889	Sequatchie County, Tennessee, USA
  Notes	I have not found any other sources that indicate that Flora married Humphrey and Elizabeth's Joseph Tate. However that Flora married a Joseph S Tate or Joe Tate born in 1867/8 is found in many locations. That Joseph S was born in Sequatchie County is the most compelling argument that I have the right Joe. The other is that of the 23 Joseph Tates listed in the 1880 census 3 were born in 1867/8 and only 1 of these is white. I would like to find more concrete evidence, but what I have seems pretty substantial.

• Notes

  There are some peculiarities with regard to Gentress' marriage to Eva Hammers. First, the license gives their ages as 25 and 21 when they would have been 26 and 17 at the time. Also in the 1940 census they are not living together and though Gentress is listed as married, Eva is listed as single. In any event, Eva marries Nathan Isaac Essary from Illinois in 1941 according to his obituary. We could find no evidence that Gentress married again after Eva.
