The Susie Gentry Papers, ca. 1908-1985, is a series of letters and genealogical records about Tennessee soldiers of the American Revolutionary War and the War of 1812 and their descendents. It contains 38 items, dating mostly from the 1910s, including letters, a ledger, and family lines.

This collection is divided into two series. The first, entitled Correspondence to Gentry (circa 1908-1916), consists of 31 letters and family genealogies sent to Gentry about soldiers. She had placed articles and advertisements in local newspapers about her project, collecting War of 1812 Tennessee soldiers' names and locating their graves in Tennessee counties; many of the letters refer to these newspaper items (one 1911 letter includes a copy of clippings). Five of the letters pertain to the Tennessee chapter of the Daughters of 1812 and how the writers are eligible to join.

Ledger and Ledger Items (1964-1985) is the second series and includes the ledger Gentry kept with the lines of many families from the 17th through 19th centuries. There are also loose items that were taken out of the ledger, but kept in the same order, in this collection. These consist of a copy of a newspaper-printed prayer, an article copied from the Tennessean about Al Gore Jr., and several items pertaining to families in the ledger.
