Witness1950Detail on the Kent Family; The early information about the Kent family has been obtained from genealogical records gathered by Martha Kent Houser who wished to establish her eligibility to the Daughters of the Revolution. An oil portrait of a great great grandfather hangs in the public library of Brattleboro, Vermont as one of the town's most important citizens. There is a story which has been handed down by word of mouth about the three Kent brothers coming over to New England with land grants from the Crown, for money that had been loaned to the Crown. One brother went to Virginia. A John Kent settled in Dedham, MA in 1647, and a Thomas Kent and wife settled in Gloucester, MA in about 1640.

It is believe that these Kent brothers were descendents of Richard de Kent who lived in Herefordshire, England in 1272 in the County of Kent, originally called Cantrum by the Romans. The coat of arms of the Kent family has a golden lion standing a blue shield.

There is a missing connection between the settling of the Kent brothers in New England around 1640 and the record of a great great grandfather Joseph Kent who lived in Dover, New Hampshire. He was born in 1789 and died in 1881 at the age of 92. He was married twice, first to Hannah Neale from Stark, NH, and later to Polly Allard.

Joseph (b.1789-d. 1881) moved to Canada - and in November 1813 Samuel Sewell Kent was born in Granby (b. 1813 - d. 1883).2
