Genealogies of the different families bearing the name of Kent in the United ...?by Lloyd Vernon Briggs - Reference - 1898 - 339 pages Page 106 ... Virginia, to Ohio in 1800. The generations we have records of are : JAMES KENT "SILAS," son of James,1 mar. Olive West, and had children b. in Ohio..... The 1820 census shows a Silas Kent in Pike,Madison,Ohio; 1830 census lists a Silas Kent in Union,Union Co., Ohio.... There are numerous familytrees for Silas and Olive on Rootsweb.com but none seem to have her parents. A quick check of 1790 census shows several West families in Connecticut ~ maybe it would be worth you exploring some of these, especially those with same names as Olive named her children.
