Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/yAC.2ACE/971 Message Board Post: James Deveraux Kent -- born October 25, 1879 in Christiansburg, VA Parents: Joseph Henry Kent (lawyer, land speculator out west--moved to Louisiana) and Margaret 'Maggie' Virginia Taylor Kent-died a year or two after James's birth--age 23 Spouse: possibly a woman named Margaret F. Ingles Kent Employment: possibly a coke engineer in Portsmouth, OH Any info anyone can provide on the above would be greatly appreciated. He is one of our 'lost' relatives. After his mother died he lived with his maternal grandparents, James Craig Taylor and Katherine Rebecca Wade Taylor in Christiansburg. After they died he went to live with his father in LA but that didn't work out so he moved to his paternal aunt's home near Dallas TX. A few years later he was living back in Roanoke, VA with his paternal grandmother, Lucy Kent, widow of Dr. Hugh McGavock Kent. After that the only possible records we can find of him are through census searches and they are sketchy at best since his first and last name were common. Thanks, Steve
