Hi Beth and all Thank you so much, Beth for this. I am sending it out to the lists also. Hope you don't mind. It has just been so many years of chasing and so many friends, family and others working to find Grandma Sophronia's family. This sure looks like it could be her. We have had Davenport Glover WISEMAN and Matilda in our tree for a long time. But no kids. This is the first time that it looks like it could be right. Judy the better half has said for a long time that she felt that Sophronia was the kid of Davenport and Matilda. Now you have got us something to point that way. Been right under our nose all this time with them being right near Wiley King House Hold Beth did they have ages for Matilda and James B. Hall when they got married? Thank you bunches Jim and Judy MONTGOMERY JIM M. Look what we just got from Beth It sure looks like this could be Grandma Sophronia. With her being next door to Wiley King house hold in 1860 that would give a reason for her to be in house hold of Wiley King family in 1870 This makes for some more ???? With Matilda in the house hold of William Gregory family in 1870 census, what happened to James B. Hall and kids Martha F. age 3 and John A. age 4 months. Was Sarah E. age 10 in 1860 census a Hall from a marriage befor Matilda by her not being in the 1850 Census with Matilda and Davenport Wiseman. The census has her born in Tennessee and Safrona born in Arkansas. -------------- Original message -------------- From: Bpca4u@aol.com Jim & Judy, Hi!

This is what I have in my book, "The History of Evening Shade: The Place and its People." E. ALLEN KENT was the once the mayor of Evening Shade. At the time he took office, he was not only the youngest person to serve as mayor in Arkansas, but for that matter the United States. He was elected at age 20, and a month later turned 21. This was sometime around 1934 or 35. He sold burial insurance while attending high school. During the Depression, he joined the Civilian Conservation Corps, working in the pine forests of southern Arkansas. Afterwards, he attended Arkansas Tech at Russellville. He majored in vocational agriculture. Kent worked his way through college and later became a teacher at Poughkeepsie High School. During this time, he also attended Arkansas State College at Jonesboro part-time. While he was the principal of Evening Shade High School, he met and courted his future wife, Jane Lee Cargill. She was teaching home economics at Evening Shade High School. Two days after they were married, Kent joined the Navy. He taught celestial navigation to pilots. While he was in the service, his wife continued to teach school from 1942 until 1945. They had one son, Steve and two daughters Becky (Keith) and Karen (Merryman Burtnett). When he returned from the service, he moved to Jonesboro. It is said that he arrived in Jonesboro with "a flat tire and $4". He worked at several occupations such as selling insurance, managing a finance company, and working at a trucking company Kent worked his way up to manager of five freight terminals. Their territory covered Northeast Arkansas and Southeast Missouri. He returned to the insurance business and became an agent for First Pyramid Life in 1954. He was once a chairman of the advisory board of the George W. Jackson Community Mental Health Center for more than 23 years. He was a member of the Civitan Club, and received a citation in 1996 from the City of Jonesboro for community service. A few months before his death in 2003, he received a certificate of appreciation from Mayor Hubert Brodell. Brodell called Kent "a goodwill ambassador for Jonesboro, Northeast Arkansas, and the state." On January 27, 2003, E. Allen Kent passed away. His beloved Jane had already went before him. They are buried in Oaklawn Cemetery in Jonesboro, Arkansas.
