Yes, my maiden name is KENT..roots from England to Gloucester, MA., 18 March 1655, *Thomas KENT and (wife) NOYES, along with their two sons, *Samuel and Thomas, Jr., also born in England. I have managed to compile a pretty thorough 'tree' on them as well as their children & their spouses, et al, up until not-so-complete info from 1940's to present. So, while my concentration on direct descendants goes from MA to CT to VT....I have filled in all others also...who went just about every direction, including the states you seem to be interested in researching. I will gladly share any info that would be of help to you, just let me know. Sincerely, alexis KENT with Linsley,Beckwith, Clark, Griswold, Sykes, Spencer, Wenchell, Dudley, Woodall, Hopkins, &Snow as direct descendants plus too many other 'cousins' to name here. Then/BOND/STEVENSON...I am just beginning my research on BOND and STEVENSON -----Original Message----- From: James Salyer <jadds@bellatlantic.net> To: BOND-L@rootsweb.com <BOND-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Wednesday, August 19, 1998 8:04 PM Subject: Re: BOND-D Digest V98 #90 >Alexis, > >I noticed after your name you have KENT listed.
