I forgot to mention....you know the Thomas ARCHIBOLD you mention was also an Am. Rev. Vet. He was born about 1752 in Ireland... Enliste in PA in 1777 and again in 1778. The records show that he died in 1837 and was buried in the Reynolds Cemetery near Decatur IN (source Soldiers of the Revolution Buried in Indiana, Records of Revolutionary Soldiers Surnames, A-B, Page 42) This makes me think that the Mary KENT I mentioned in my earlier posting would too young to be his wife. The records do show that Thomas ARCHIBOLD was married to a Mary KENT...but I'm not sure it is a Mary KENT from the Absalom KENT line I've been talking about.

The Absalom KENT you mention in 1805 was the son of Absalom KENT and Ann or Nancy or Nancy Ann UNKNOWN. They were believed to have been killed during a Native American raid in Old Town, Allegany Co. Maryland about 1765. It is said that the family then moved to PA and then on to the Cadiz area early in the 1800s. Absalom #2 was a Rev. War Vet (Westmorland Co.. Militia PA) and is buried in the Spiker priv cem, Stock Twp, Harrison Co OH. (Row 4, Grave 20)Absalom #2 was said to be married to a Tabitha HUNTER (no documentation on this has been found that I know of)... They were married in Fayette Co. PA before moving to Jefferson Co. (this part soon became Harrison Co.) OH. I might add that there are perhaps a dozen or so Absalom KENTs in this family. Absalom KENT #3 was said to have married a 1st Mary ROBINSON and 2nd Mary HART. Absalom KENT #2 had another son named Joseph KENT who married a Nancy Ann (some say PERRIN and others contend it was PERKINS, no proof either way) They also had a son named Absalom KENT who married Isabella WORTH on 04 Oct 1821 in Harrison CO. OH. Other Absalom KENT marriages were as best I can tell: Absalom KENT m. 1st Mary WORMAN date unknown. (This is the Absalom KENT who had a daughter named Mary) 2nd Mary WALKER 05 Dec 1833. 3rd Sarah TRAUB about 1848. This Absalom KENT was the son of Absalom KENT (Mentioned above was the s/o Absalom KENT and Tabitha HUNTER)and Mary HART. Getting back to your question about Mary KENT... It would I think go this way. Absalom KENT and Nancy Unknown.... Absalom KENT and Tabitha HUNTER... Absalom KENT and Mary WORMAN... Mary KENT. Not sure if this helps or confuses.... Tom C.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/1YB.2ACI/714.2 Message Board Post: Hi there, I'm looking for information on Absalom Kent Sr. apparently. In the recent message "Early settlers of Cadiz township" there is an Absalom Kent listed with the date 1805 from Fayette Co. P.A. . I think this must be your Absalom's dad. I think Absalom Sr. could be the father of Mary Kent who married Thomas Archbold. If you or anyone else knows about this family please e-mail me to exchange information and educated guesses! ==== OHHARRIS Mailing List ==== Need to contact the OHHARRIS List Manager?
