Nicholas Gentry (the younger) married a daughter of Richard III not Tabitha, and is documented as receiving 100 acres on Dirty Swamp from father-in-law Richard III as a marriage present. I have also documented that descendants of Rev John b. 6 Jun 1748 has Gentry yDNA , but most list him as the son of Robert, brother of Richard III (i suspect John may be the son of Nicholas the younger but I can’t prove it other than knowing Rev John did not have Brooks yDNA). Merging these files would put Nicholas the younger as first wife of Tabitha and that is simply not correct.
