Did they have SC also? I'm still looking for Nathaniel Kent's parents. Nathaniel Kent was b. abt 1766 in NC. His son, also named Nathaniel was b. 1800 in SC. Then they all moved to Smith Co TN where they died. Nathan Kent, Sr. probably had more children move to Smith Co TN than the one I can account for. There were other Kent's there that I have not connected yet. My line includes the following names: Nathan Jr. & Martha GILL m. abt 1820 & had the following children: James H, Joseph, Joshua P., Jesse G, Margaret, Susan, Lydia, Jackson C, John J., Andrew & Frances Elizabeth. Joseph (son of Nathan Jr.) had the following known children: Henry, Sarah & John Joshua P. (son of Nathan Jr.) had the following children: Valentine D., Nathaniel Thomas, Martha M., Mary Ellen, James Andrew, Everline B., Peneloff W. Robert A., Elizabeth Fannie, Fountain L, Maggie V., Lesnella J. & George Washington. These children were from his first wife Elizabeth S. LYON. Three other children by wife, Lillie Ann TAYLOR, were Ollie Mai, Alice M., & Cora Lee. Margaret married Josiah Sircy & their known children were: James H., Rancis (could this actually be Francis?), Milus J., Virginia, Wade H., Margaret & Nancy. Susan married William BARNETT & their known children were: Mary, George, James, Martha & Jackson Lydia married William DENNY and their known children were: William J., John C., Nathan A., Elizabeth F., & Mary C. John J. married Martha BARNETT & their known children were: William, Lemuel, & James So as we see the name that appear the most often is James. Any of you KENT researchers recognize these names in your line? Carmelita WLWMEGAWAT@aol.com
