William James Dent 1850s Alabama
Posted by: Frank Ledbetter Date: September 22, 2001 at 12:50:22
  of 1628

I am the great-great-grandson of William James Dent, who was born circa 1820. My father has a family Bible record of his marrying my ancestress Frances Liles in 1844. Their daughter Lucinda Martha Dent was born in Alabama on June 15, 1852. She married my great-grandfather Hugh M. Ledbetter.

I believe that William James Dent was an officer in the Confederate States of America's military during the War Between the States based on statements made by my late grandfather.

I have wondered if William James Dent is a descendnat of George Dent, who settled in Georgia after the Revolutionary War, because George Dent apparently had many descendants in Alabama in the 1800s.

Any information anyone has re: William James Dent will be greatly appreciated.
