I hope I am posting this to the right location. I have a gr gr grandmother who was Mary (Polly) Brents, b. abt. 1805, and married to James Clift, also b. abt. 1805. They are in the Lincoln County, TN, 1850 Census in Lincoln County, TN. I am trying to find the parents of Mary Brents. Census shows her born in NC. Also trying to determine the parents of James Clift. Census shows him born in TN. They are shown in the 1860 Census of Lincoln County, TN, and are both shown as age 54-55. After that they totally disappear. I have the names of their children, but nothing about their parents. Anyone out there looking for Clifts or Brents. The spelling could have been Brent, as they seemed to use that name both ways. There were several other Brent/s in the area at around the same time frame and no one who is researching them can determine their ancestors either. We feel they were related, as they lived and married in same county. Thanks. Joyce Park Riggs
