Research Notes
George Kent, the fourth son of Thomas Kent Jr. and Marion Kent the sixth child are listed in both "Thomas Kent and his Descendants" and "Tenmile Country and its Pioneer Families" but without any details other than "died young".[1][2] As of today, 20 August 2020, I have been unable to locate any other sources or details for George Kent or Marion Kent other than the 1820 US Census that indicates that Thomas Kent Jr had 6 children under the age of 10, four boys and two girls and one boy age 10-16.
