    All born in NC except for William A Gentry, who was probably born in VA (the enumerator scratched out the beginning of the entry, leaving what looks like "ginia"), All parents born in NC. The two 1891 birth dates are correct, so we must have at least one grandchild who isn't Ada's. Probably William A, since he wasn't born in NC. But where is Ada's 4'th kid????
