Generation: 2

  1. 2.  William R. Kent was born Abt 1813, RI or CT (son of James Kent and Ruby Snow); died 18 Jul 1876.

    Notes:

    At the time of the marriage of William & Sally in Pomfret CT, William was of Ashford, CT.

    In the Federal Census of 1840, William Kent and his wife are living at Ashford, CT. They are listed next to James Kent, who may be his father.

    Please note that I have placed William as a son of James and Ruby, but this has not been confirmed. There may also have been a brother to William named Cyril/Cyrel W. Kent, formerly of Ashford, who was married to Minerva Peck in Pomfret, CT, in 1839.

    In the Federal Census of 1850, the family is living at Cranston, RI: William R. Kent 37 RI laborer, Sally 31 CT, Ellen R. 7 CT, and Joseph W. 2 RI. They are living next to Benjamin N. & Eliza Remington and family.

    In 1860 the family is still at Cranston: Wm R. 48 CT jeweller, Sarah 42 CT, Ellen 17 RI, and Joseph 12 RI.

    In 1870, the family is at Providence, RI, 9th Ward: William R. Kent 58 RI laborer, Sarah P. 52 CT, and Joseph W. 22 RI clerk in office.

    In 1880, he appears to be W. R. Kent age 62 CT, living in Providence.

    William married Sarah "Sally" Pike 27 Apr 1840, Pomfret, CT. Sarah was born Abt 1819, CT; died 3 May 1904. [Group Sheet]


  2. 3.  Sarah "Sally" Pike was born Abt 1819, CT; died 3 May 1904.

    Children:

Generation: 3

  1. 4.  James Kent was born Between 1791 and 1793, CR or RI; died Aft 1 Jun 1860.

    Notes:

    In the Federal Census of 1840, James Kent is listed at Ashford, CT. James and his assumed wife are ages 40 - 49, along with another female in the household age 20 - 29, possibly a daughter or servant (see note for Betsey Kent below). Listed next to him is William Kent 20 - 29 and his wife.

    In the 1850 Federal Census, James & Ruby Kent are at Ashford, CT, ages 59 & 56. That means James would have been born c 1791. His birthplace is given as CT. His occupation is blacksmith.

    James Kent is still at Ashford, CT in 1860, but this time his birthplace is given as RI. He is a farmer, and it appears that he may have remarried, as Mary Kent is with him now.
