James Kent

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.
