Kent, born about 1830 in Ireland, supposedly lived in Baton Rouge. Maybe they were related? He married Eliza Jane McCardell of Iberville Parish and had a bunch of children, but none named John that I know of, but if John left for Texas, maybe that's why he's not on the 1880 census. Eliza's father was named John so she should have named a son after him. Could you email me all the dates and particulars you have on your John S. Kent? Ann Nunn annnunn@digiscape
