The Daily Dispatch: June 23, 1864., [Electronic resource], article 1 (search)
ine lashes (he being looked upon as a negro) for using insulting language towards Dr. James Conway, but took an appeal from His Honor's decision to the Hustings Court, and that body overruled the decision, there being evidence before them which proved that he was a white man. From that time till the inauguration of the war Gentry has been looked upon as a white man, and would probably have continued so to be considered had he not, to serve his own purposes, otherwise reported himself. It is reliably stated that when called upon recently to enter the Confederate army he represented. that he was not a white man, and, on the other hand, when hunted up to work on the batteries with other negroes, took the back track and claimed to be white. This game he has been practicing for some time, and the fact coming to Capt Chartere's ears, he very properly had him arrested, and putting the question to him, whether he was a negro or a white man, sent him to Camp Lee on his own acknowledgment.
