Hi Don,
Thanks for replying. After looking over your information, it looks like there were two
Thomas's born almost a year apart. According to the 1900 census, my Thomas was born on
Sept 1899 in Brown Co., IN. I'm not sure what happened to him after his father died.
The Thomas & Mary (Moore) Kent were orginally from Union County, Ohio. They married
approx in the mid-1860's, though I don't have an exact date--just a marriage index
number.
Thomas was born abt 1843 in Union County. I see on the website in Brown Co, that he died
in 1892 and Mary died in 1912 or 1919 in Brown Co., IN (I'll have to double check on
this) Thomas's parents were Alexander (born abt. 1808-d after 1870) & Lucinda
(umn) who removed to Effingham County, Illinois after the death of one of their son, James
in 1867.
Alexander's parents were John J. Kent & Margaret who were among early settlers of
Union County. They arrived in Ohio abt 1805. My direct line is John J.>Daniel--brother
to Alexander.
Thank you for your time and replying to my message. I'll have to do some more
searching for the children of Thomas & Mary, just in case the census was in error and
some were living after 1910.
Have a good day.
Linda
