  1. 1.  Isaac Brown Kent was born 3 Jul 1812, MA; died 7 May 1885; was buried , Lakeside Cemetery, Newman Ave., East Providence, RI.

    Notes:

    I have estimated Isaac's year of birth, based on his age in the 1870 Federal Census. At that time, the family is living in East Providence, RI. Isaac is age 58 and Hannah is 53. Four of their children are in the household: Isaac R. 23, Alfred J. 20, Martha B. 22, & Hannah M. 16. In 1880, Isaac & Hannah are still at East Providence, and their daughter Mattie B. is living with them. They are near Russel D. Kent (Hannah's brother), who is living with his daughter and family, the Houghtons.

    Isaac's marriage is noted in the book "Genealogies of the Different Families Bearing the Name of Kent in the United States . . . " by L. Vernon Briggs, p. 149. However, this section is prefaced with the author's comment: "Others by the name of Kent whom I have been unable to locate, but who are connected with the above families, are as follows."

    Isaac & Hannah were both "of Seekonk," and were married by the Rev. J. O. Barney. The Kent genealogy book shows that they had two children, Alfred J. & Hannah Maria. However, someone has faintly pencilled in the margin "Isaac R. & Ruth Anne." This is partly confirmed because Isaac is in the 1870 census with his parents; however, Ruth is not. She married be married, possibly to Robert Pearse (needs more research -- see notes for Ruth).

    Isaac married Hannah Remington Kent 20 Apr 1837. Hannah (daughter of Alfred Kent and Ruth Remington) was born 14 Nov 1816, MA; died 13 Dec 1892; was buried , Lakeside Cemetery, Newman Ave., East Providence, RI. [Group Sheet]
