However your researchers have made a couple of incorrect assumptions using census data. David Kent was born in Albany, Fayette Co., Iowa on Aug. 17, 1858, not Appanoose Co. (He did die in Dow City on Aug. 9, 1900.) This is based on a handwritten genealogy by David's wife, daughter, and granddaughter (my mother). My research of census data also leads me to believe that Silas Kent was not born in Pickaway Co. but in Harrison Co. Ohio, however research is still ongoing by me as this family's census history is very inconsistent on ages making very difficult to track from 1870 back. If questions you can contact me directly @tccroom@pacbell.net.
