Kents from MD, VA, NC GA.
DNA testing has shown several colonial Kent families are related and have a common ancestor. This is very exciting news and has helped chip away at some brick walls.You can see the results at the Kent DNA Project under Lineage 1http://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/kent/resultshttp://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/kent/resultsWe need more Kents to test so several of us have banded together to encourage and help financially, if needed, anyone who meets the following criteria.
We will pay for a 37 marker DNA test for any Kent male with documented evidence that he descended from any one of the following men or areas:
Mark Kent, abt 1753 MD -–1790 UnionCo. SC
Joseph Kent, 14 Jan 1779-24 Nov1837 MD
Henry Kent Sr. d. AFT 5 May 1677 in Calvert Co., MD
Richard Kent, d. 1756 Fairfax Co., VA,
Benoni Kent, abt 1715/1730- 24 Mar,1774 Fairfax Co. VA (except sons of John L Kent 1791- GA)
Or a Kent male living in MD or VA in the 1600s or 1700s
