Every time you do "self.entryX=..." you overwrite the old value of
self.entryX!

If you want to 'remember' old entryX values you need something like:
def newEntry(self):
    entry = Entry()
    entry.grid()
    self.entries.append(entry)
Now the Entries are in self.entries in the order you created them.
This assumes you have self.entries initialised in your __init__ like
"self.entries = []", but you could also choose a dict for self.entries
if you want to name each entry and change newEntry accordingly.
