Helen I. Hudgens, 97, passed away Monday, June 2, 2008 at 10:50 P.M. at Heartland Regional Medical Center.
Helen was born in Pittsburg, Illinois on March 9, 1911 to Louis and Elva (Owens) Stroud and spent her early years in that area on the family farm. She remembered riding on the one seat of the family buggy and walking to Fowler School in her father’s footprints. She was baptized in Johnston City Lake and was a member of Lake Creek Baptist church. She was raised during the Depression where she learned to do a lot with a little and those lessons stayed with her all her life. In her lifetime, she saw many firsts: the first airplane in this area, the first car, the cure for many diseases, and many other advancements. She worked at Woolworths, Universal Match, and Albright’s clothing store in Marion. She married Samuel Hudgens on May 16, 1931. They moved to Marion and joined the Third Baptist church where she was one of the oldest living members. She was able to maintain her home with the aid of her son, Tom, who was also her best friend until her death. She loved and appreciated her family and friends and the simple things that life has to offer. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
Survivors include:
Two Daughters;
Barbara S. Woolard of Marion
Judy Arnold and husband Barry of Marion
Son – Thomas J. Hudgens of Marion
Two Grandchildren;
Mark Arnold of Pensacola, Florida
Sally Pearce and husband Joe of Marion
Preceded by – Her Parents, Husband – Sam, Son-in-law – James Woolard, Three sisters – Neva Schwarm, Vivian Reed Coriasco and Imogene Hill

| Charles Gent – GA to TN ca 1815 | |
| Posted by: Tracy V. Robb | Date: January 17, 2000 at 10:49:55 |
| of 304 | |
I am not a genealogist, but I am a sentimental historical geographer of the Sycamore Creek Basin of Middle Tennessee. Charles Gent was a early settler in the Sycamore Creek Basin. The land he purchased was adjacent to that of James Hudgins who was one of my ancestors. Can someone tell how Thomas Gent may have been related to Charles?
Here are some notes I have made
CHARLES GENT (GA) of Washington County, Georgia was born about 1752 and died in Robertson County, Tennessee in 1844 (124- ). His parents were Charles Gent and Alice Carter. After Charles (Sr.) passed away, Alice married Alexander Mills.
This makes sense – since one of Charles and Sarah Gent’s daughters was named “Ailsey” – possibly another form of Alice.
He was a private in the Georgia Line in the Revolutionary War. In 1815 he
purchased 640 acres of land, contained in the North Carolina grant 3407 to Robert Weakley, from William and Jipi Gainer. In 1829 Charles bought 12 1/2 acres from John and Lucretia Perry.
Charles began to divide his land among his children in 1821. That year he sold 10 acres on the east side of Spring Creek to James Maxey and James Sanders for $27. Next he deeded 125 + acres to Zachariah Gent. He deeded 125+ acres to his grandson, Thomas Gent, along with a negro girl named Matilda in April 1822. In December 1823 Charles deeded 88 acres on Spring Creek to J.C. Sanders and a negro named Richard who was about 4 or 5 years old to Catherine Gent Sanders (5-R-160). At the same time he deeded 101 acres to his daughter, Ailsey who was married to Holloway Hudgins. He also deeded a negro boy named Palmetto to her. And to Margaret “Peggy” Gent Harris he
deeded 100 acres.
A Ailsey 1789 in GA, Hollway Hudgins
B Unity d. b/4 1844 Harvel Harris (5-4-373)
C Margaret “Peggy” , Ezra Harris
D Zachariah
E Catherine, FNU Sanders (Poss. James C.) (121-94)
f Cynthia , James Sanders (Are Catherine and Cythia the same?
g Deliah, Isaac Sanders
THE CHILDREN OF CHARLES GENT AND
AILSEY GENT (GAA) was born in 1789 in Georgia. She married Holloway Hudgins.
UNITY GENT (GAB) married Harvel Harris and died before 1844. Moved to Kentucky (124-96).
A Lewis P. before 1844 (5-4-373)
MARGARET “PEGGY” GENT (GAC) married Ezra Harris.
ZACHARIAH GENT (GAD) was born between 1790 and 1800 (2- ). In 1830 he had three sons and two daughters in his house hold (124-137). who married Sallie Reid, Sallie apparently died young, because Zachariah then married Martha Selkirk. Zach and Martha had a son David Alexander Selkirk Gent.
A FNU (m) 1800<1810 Thomas
B FNU (m) 1815<1820 James M.
C FNU (m) 1820<1825
D FNU (f) 1820<1830
E FNU (f) 1820<1830
CATHERINE GENT (GAE) married FNU Sanders, possibly James C.
CYNTHIA GENT (GAf) James Sanders (Same as Catherine?)
DELIAH GENT (GAg) married Isaac Sanders.
JAMES M. GENT (GADb) was born in 1817 in Tennessee and married Sarah “Sally” LNU who was born in 1823 (R15249). James was assessed for 184 acres on Spring Creek adjacent to J. Sanders and Eagle Mill Tract
in 1856 (99). He was appointed to a jury of view in June 1856 to lay off a road from Spring Creek to Ashland City (20-33).
A Martha 1839
B William 1841
C Sally 1843
D Susan 1845
E James 1846
THE CHILDREN OF UNITY GENT AND HAVEL HARRIS
LEWIS P. HARRIS (GABA) was born before 1844 (5-4-373).
——-
THOMAS GENT (GADa) was a grandson of Charles Gent who deeded Thomas 125+ acres in April 1822. He was probably the oldest child of Zachariah Gent.
