L. Vernon Briggs, Genealogies of the Different Families Bearing the Name of Kent . . . (1898), p. 161 calls the husband of Mary KENT probably John BOND. The Gloucester Vital Records, where the marriage is recorded, calls him Joseph BOND. Is he the same born in Salisbury 01 Apr 1700 son of Nicholas and Sarah (ROWLANDSON) BOND? There is no further record of them in the Vital Records of any town in Essex County, Massachusetts. They probably removed. Mary's brother Josiah apparently went to Harvard MA and sister Abigail (Kent) Stevens went to Hampstead NH.
