I read with interest your Kent family who resided in Brown County, Indiana. I believe
Thomas & Mary (Moore) Kent who resided in Brown Co., are related to the Kent family of
Union County, Ohio.
I traced Thomas from Dover, Union County, Ohio (1850 & 1860 census) m Mary Moore in
Union County Union County marriage record indexs indicates between Jan 3 1863-Nov 28,
1871)
In 1870 Thomas & Mary are in Columbus, Bartholomew Co., Indiana. In 1880 they are in
Washington Twp., Brown Co., Indiana with six children.
I'm a little confused as in 1900 census Mary (Moore) Kent is listed with son James H.
Kent. She's a widow and states only one child is living out of the six. In 1910, she
is listed widow with no children living.
James H. Kent is listed being married with a son, Thomas born 1898 and living with his
mother Mary.
In the 1920, Brown Co., IN census, Thomas Kent is living with Isaac Samuel Kent. I'm
wondering, is there two Thomas's born in the same year?
Any help in trying to clarify if I have the right relatives would be helpful.
