Betsey Kent, (Ebenezer, Ebenezer, Ebenezer, John, Richard), sister to the preceding and fifth child of Ebenezer and Esther (Stone) Kent, was born in Leicester, Mass., June 5, 1782. She married Nov. 26, 1801, Jonathan Hubbard, who was born in Leicester, June 7, 1780, and son of Capt. Daniel and Mary (Sargent Hubbard. Capt. Daniel Hubbard lived in Leicester, one mile north of the Meeting-house. He was a farmer and for several years steward of the Academy, a man much respected. He once commanded one of the military companies of the town. In the later part of his life he removed to Wallingford, Vt., where he died at the home of his son, Jonathan, probably. Jonathan Hubbard was of Winchendon, Mass., April 1, 1807, and probably removed from there to Wallingford, Vt. He was a farmer. He died in Wallingford, June 8, 1819. His wife Betsey (Kent) Hubbard, died of asthma in Weston, Vt., April 23, 1866, and was buried beside her husband in Wallingford, Vt.

I will now give in this connection a copy of a letter from William Kent of Wallingford to his brother, Capt. Daniel Kent of Leicester, Mass., relative to the death of their brother-in-law, Jonathan Hubbard.

Wallingford, Vt,, June 11th, 1819 DEAR BROTHER:-I write to inform you of the accident that happened here last Saturday. Jonathan Hubbard was hurt by the fall of a rafter at the raising of a barn for me. His skull was broken through against the ears below the brain. He remained senseless until the next day, when he came to himself and remained so for about thirty hours, at which time he again became unconscious and remained in that condition until he died, which occurred the third day after the accident and was buried the next day, June 9th. He did not think he should get well. He gave his soul up to God, Who gave it, a terrible sight to behold. He died at my house. We are all as well as common that are left. Please to inform his sisters of this terrible accident and Mr. Wheeler's family. If I could see you I could tell more of the circumstances than I can write.

Remember us to all inquiring friends.

We should be glad to see you here as soon as convenient. Please to write to me as

soon as you can.

I have not time to write one-half I would wish being in a great hurry, but remain your loving brother until we shall be called to follow our departed friend.

WILLIAM KENT TO CAPT. DANIEL KENT.

EZRA KENT, (Ebenezer, Ebenezer, Ebenezer, John, Richard), brother to the preceding and sixth child of Ebenezer and Esther (Stone) Kent, was born Sept. 1, 1785, in Leicester, Mass., and married Dec. 14, 1811, Eusebia Southwick. She was born 1792, in -, and was daughter of Nathaniel and Elizabeth (Southgate) Southwick. Ezra Kent and wife removed to Wallingford, Vt. soon after marriage, as we find them there as early as Feb. 27, 1813. They both died in Wallingford. He Feb. 3, 1818, aged 32y, 5m, 2d. She Nov. 9, 1820, aged 28 years. His death is noted as follows.

Wallingford, Vt., Feb. 3, 1818.

DEAR BROTHER:--I write to inform you that myself and family are well, except bad colds. But I have more heavy news to write, the death of our dear brother Ezra, who died on the

morning of the third day of this month between two and three o'clock. He was taken with inflamation in the head. The doctor removed the disorder from the head, and it immediately seized him on the lungs with violent distress until he died. The funeral was on Thursday. A sermon on the occasion will be preached in two weeks from tomorrow. It was put off on account of Elias and Wm. Hubbard not being at home. They both arrived home last night. He had his senses until he died and often asked if the doctors thought he would get well. We all spoke encouraging on account of the medicine having good effect as we thought. But he dropt away in an instant when he went, without moving hand or foot. I can tell you more when I see you. Give our love to sister Wheeler and let her see this letter. You must come up here as soon as you can. I remain your loving brother until death.

REUBEN KENT, (Jacob, Ebenezer, Ebenezer, John, Richard), only child of Jacob by his 2d wife, Mary (Tucker) Kent, was born Nov. 26, 1773, in Brookfield, Mass. He married 1st Oct. 12, 1802, Sally Adams of Brookfield, Mass. He was married in Brookfield but called Reuben Kent of New Marlborough. She was born Oct. 1, 1777, in that part of Brookfield that is now the town of North Brookfield, and was a daughter of Ephraim and Eunice (Moulton) Adams. We expected to find trace of Reuben at New Marlborough, Mass., but an answer from the town clerk at that place gives no evidence that he ever lived there. He did however, live at Marlboro, Vermont, and was a land owner in that town, certainly from 1803 to 1805. His half brother, Rev. Asa Kent, in a letter to his parents dated Marlboro, Vt., Oct. 4, 1804, and mailed at Brattleboro, Vt., says: I am at Brother Reuben's house, and Reuben and wife are well and blessed with a son, born July 25, 1804. Mrs. Eliza Wesley, who is a child of Reuben Kent's by his 2d wife, writes that the 1st wife, Sally (Adams) Kent, died of consumption when the afore mentioned son was 20 months old. This would place the date of her death in March, 1806, and perhaps in Marlboro, Vt. Of that however, we have no surety. We next find Reuben in Bennington, Vt., where in 1812 or 13 he married 2d Eunice Huntley, who was born in Wadham, Conn. in 1787. They were married in Bennington b. Aaron Hubbell, Justice of Peace. Mr. Kent was a farmer in humble circumstances. He died in Bennington, Vt., June 1828, one morning while dressing fell back upon his bed and expired. His widow went to Michigan, probably with or to her son Reuben's, where she died of inflamation of the lungs. November 17, 1857.

DANIEL KENT, (Jacob, Ebenezer, Ebenezer, John, Richard), half brother to the preceding and son of Jacob Kent senior by his third wife, Abigail (Barnes) Kent. He was born Dec. 31, 1778, in Brookfield, Mass. He Ist married Polly Bonne of Hardwick Gore, Mass., pub. Feb. 8, 1801. Don't know where or when she was b. or anything about her parents. They settled in Whitingham, Windham County, Vt., where they had one child which died at time of birth, as did also the mother, early in the year 1802. He married 2d Jan. 13, 1803, in Whitingham, Nancy Young, who was born in Hopkinton, Mass., Aug. 6, 1786, and daughter of John and Abigail (Howe) Young. Mr. Kent learned the carpenter's trade when young, but worked most of his life at farming which suited him better. He was a practical and successful farmer and owned a fine farm in Chester, Ohio, where he died July 23, 1853, aged 74y, 6m, 22d. His widow died in Salt Lake City, Utah, Sept. 19, 1860, aged 74y, Im, 13d.
