Notes from Belinda Kent:
I have researched many of the names from this page and found they are related to the people buried in the Old Bigelow Cemetery in Madison Co. Ohio.
Silas Kent, Hiram Kent , Rolston Kent, Addie E. Kent and Charlie Kent are buried in Bigelow Cemetery.  There fore it is my conclusion that Silas Kent’s father whom was James Kent was a descendant of Samuel G. Kent.  Our family branches from Hiram Kent , buried in the Old Bigelow Cemetery on Rosedale Road just off of 161.
I have also discovered that Samuel G. Kent married Desire Cushman , the first grand daughter of the United States.  A grand daughter to the Howlands that came over on the Mayflower.  The people buried in Bigelow Cemetery are descendants of the first Plymouth Colony.
I have been researching the people buried in Bigelow Cemetery, (now a state nature preserve) and our Kent family line as well as the people from this Bible page.  They are all related to each other.
 
Richard Kent came from England and into Massachusetts and this was Samuel G. Kents first relative to enter the United States.

James Kent b. Virginia  (from L.Vernon Briggs Book on Kent Families)
Came to Ohio in April or May of1807 to Franklin Co. then moved to Greene Co. Ohio and then to Montgomery Co. Ohio until 1820 and then moved to Madison Co. Ohio and settled in the Darby Plains.
The first Kents I have found buried in Ohio are in the Bigelow Cemetery off of 161 on Rosedale Rd.
Possible brothers and sisters to James are,  Sallie, Alexander, John, Margaret, Daniel. James may have gone to Delaware Co.Ohio  ##  In Marysville Library info. John Kent b. June 12, 1769 d. Oct.27, 1853 m. Margaret b. 1768 d. Oct6, 1849=possible brother to our James or to Silas . John Kent lived on Sugar Run and they made Maple Syrup. The Indians used to come there to trade for syrup.  The Indians lived north of Plain City and lived in wigwams.  The Chillicothe Indians came for raccoon skins and other furs. The Indians were friendly.
James Kent possibly married Elizabeth Bailey in Dutchess, New York in abt. 1765.  He also may come from the line of Samuel G. Kent and Disire Cushman.  In this family Bible is also mentioned the Gray families and the Taylor Families all from the 1700’s. There are also connections between the Kents and the Caldwells in Kent Co. Delaware in 1770.  Magdalen Kent had a son Joseph and a daughter Mary Caldwell.This connection was found in the Kent Co. Delaware Probate records.

Hiram Kent-farmer, P.O. Unionville Center, is the fourth child of Silas and Olive (West) Kent, natives of New Jersey and Connecticut, respectively, who came to Ohio in 1807 and located in Franklin Co., where they were among the early pioneers.  Our subject was born in Franklin Co., in 1807, about three months after his family arrived at their western home.  The family subsequently removed to Greene Co., and from there to Montgomery Co., where they remained until Hiram attained the age of thirteen years, when they moved to Madison County and settled on Darby Plains.  They subsequently moved to Union County and settled on a farm now owned by George Caldwell, which they afterward sold, and purchased in the same township another farm, upon which the father passed the rest of his life, dying in the fifty-sixth year of age.  His wife afterward moved to Appanoose County, Iowa, where she died.  They raised a family of thirteen children, seven of whom are living.  He was a man of quiet, unostentatious habits, who had no aspirations for political honors and gave his entire time to the pursuits of private life.  The subject of this sketch remained at home until April 16,1829, when he was married, on the home place, by Rev. Samuel Bradford, to Miss Miranda Harrington, who was born at East Montpelier, Vermont, Nov.8, 1807. To them was born seven children, of whom two survive: Cicero and Lucinda.

It consists of 162acres of valuable land.  His advantages for education  in early life were limited, and thorough Republican in politics, and for thirty years has been a member of the Masonic order.  His wife is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church.

+++++++Obituary for Margaret J. Morford Kent (Housewife)
Margaret Jane Morford was born Aug, 1841; died March 6, 1913. She married to Cicero Kent March 3, 1864. To this union was given six children.  One passed away in infancy.  The two daughters and two sons being in the far west.  She joined the M.E. church at Plain City in 1863, always remaining faithful to her chosen belief and attending to her duties as a member when convenient.  One of our truest and best friends has fallen, but we should not say fallen, only laid down her armor and passed on up higher to her reward for work faithfully done.  She was a devoted Christian, a faithful wife and a loving mother.  Her life was one of uprightness and devotion to those around her and her influence was much felt in the community, but nowhere so much as in her home and among her loved ones.  But her place here is vacant and that fact makes our lives more lonely, knowing that we too, shall pass the same path that has been trod by so many before, but we must be comforted with the thought that the loss is only adding to the attraction of the other side where our loved ones have gone.  She was a brave, conscientious and broad-minded helper, always willing a stranger to help, not only to bear another’s burdens but with that kind look, word and smile which goes a long way to cheer another’s sorrows.  As to a living person whose will is to be its law, whose love is to be its life, so Godliness in the devotion of the soul of our sister.  She was a true helpmate, full of sympathy, devotion and unbounded energy, often going many times beyond her strength.  She had endeared herself to scores of people so that those who would comfort her were themselves comforted.  A visit with her was often times better than a sermon.  The fragrance of her memory will ever remain in the heart of those who knew her.  Words fail to sum up the life of energy and meekness, firmness and tenderness, sterling honor and congeniality, compassion and purity.  Devoted as a wife, companionable as a mother, true as a friend, we shall all miss her.
