Fentress Geneology

Records show that Michael Fentress came over to the US and settled in Virginia

near Norfolk in the early 1600's

Geneology records show that we are directly descended from

his family rather than the Fentresses in Fentress Country, Tenn. There is a small town named Fentress in Virgina and a Navy

Auxiliary airfield nearby. The area in France from which he apparently took his name was part of the Red market area,
