| Notes |
- In a letter from Lydia Bell Senter Hawthorne to her niece, Mary Lois Peck Howard, she states:
"Dear Mary, thought you would like to know about your great-grandfather, my father's father [James Harvey Senter (1820-1900)]. He was a wonderful man. He and Grandmother [Mariah M. Baker (1823-1910) made their home with us [in Asherville, IN] when I was a small girl, 10 to 12 years old. He was a Baptist Minister and in his old days he was a shoe cobbler. He mended all the children's shoes in the little village of Asherville. I used to stand beside his chair many days and watch him. and hand him the little wooden pegs he used to fix the shoes. His hair was as white as snow and he wore it real short, guess now days you'd call it a crew cut, so beautiful. He went to church every Sunday.
I sure did have a beautiful childhood, everybody doing so many interesting things. Grandfather owned a farm in Kentucky and he said there was a silver mine on it. When the Civil War was on the North and South he lost all he had and came North. He had a map of the silver mine but some how it was lost he told my father and his boys to go find it. But they never did, so I guess it is still there. Bro. Frank went down 2 years ago. But I guess he didn?t find out much about it he knows the town in Kentucky so when I see him again, I?ll ask him and write and tell you.
In those days, Kentucky was far far away from us. No way to get there only by horse and buggy or train."

Abingdon, Washington, Virginia, USA |
- Virginia Marriages, 1740-1850: "Drewry [sic] Senter & Polly McClure, 29 Jun 1809, Washington, VA."
The religious ceremony may have taken place on 6 June and not been recorded at the court house until 29 June 1809. On the other hand, one or the other date may be incorrect.
In any case, note the spelling of his given name, "Drewry," which probably represents a phonetic pronounciation. Also, note that she married under her informal name, "Polly."
