Kent Family & DNA Project

DELAWARE

There currently aren’t any lineages solely associated with this state. It may be important to check other states associated with a specific Kent family or to review the entire region associated with this state to see if another researcher has a common ancestor or brick wall that may relate to your own.

MARYLAND

From MARYLAND (Calvert Co., MD, Prince George’s Co., MD, Ann Arundel Co., MD) to VIRGINIA (Fairfax Co., VA) to WASHINGTON DC/ DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA REVIEW ALL LOCATIONS

A yDNA test was taken by a descendant from the Henry Kent, Sr. (b ca. 1630 England d 1677 Calvert Co., MD) family and a yDNA test was taken by a descendant from the Absalom Kent (1702 b VA d 1765 Old Town, Allegany, MD) family and they are a match, confirming they have a common male KENT ancestor. It is unclear if Absalom Kent descends from Henry Kent, Sr. or if they share a common KENT ancestor further back in time. There are currently active researchers on the Absalom Kent (1702 b VA d 1765 Old Town, Allegany, MD m Ann Nancy [-?-]) family and one active researcher from the Absalom Kent (b [?] d May 1745 Calvert Co., MD m Elizabeth [Ferguson?] family. The name of Absalom is heavily repeated within these branches and is usually a quick identifier as (probably) associated with this Colonial Kent Family of Maryland. (18 Jul 2017)

  Administrator’s Note: Jim Kent’s yDNA results do NOT match the yDNA results on the following three Kent males. The following three Kent males all match each other genetically on the Y chromosome but have yet to an established paper trail between all three of them. The atDNA connection is presumed to be on a collateral family line (the surname of COOK appears to be a common pattern between these KENT males and Jim Kent).

RESEARCH GOAL: Family tradition states that the elder James Kent was a young widower and first immigrated from Scotland to the US and then sent for his young son, James Scott Kent. The father met his son at the docks in Philadelphia and brought a huge white horse to parade his son down Broad Street to his new home. 1) Immigration records circa 1835-1855 have yet to be found. 2) Where in Scotland did this Kent family immigrate?
