Here is someone working on the same Dent Family: http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=millertrescott&id=I5236http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=millertrescott&id=I5236
Jacob appears in the 1850 census living next door to Isabella Hopton, age 62. The chances are great she was related to Jacob. She was probably his mother but could have been another relative such as aunt or step-mother.
The 1840 census lists a William Hopton as head of household living in Monroe County, OH. He looks he could be the patriarch. Perhaps not so coincidentally he is living next door to John Dent. Jacob may have literally married the girl next door.
