Kent derived from Kintz
I am looking for Kents whose origin was Kintz [also could be Kindt/Keentz and other variants].The spelling was changed c1890 at a family gathering in Binghamton NY.
According to family stories, the Kintz were originally Austrian Jews.
I have documents dated 1890 with the names
Jacob Dietrich Kintz - Northampton Co PA & Warren Co NJ
Susan Kintz - Northampton Co PA
Rachel Kintz
Margaret, John & William Kintz - Warren Co NJ
John T Kent - Binghamton NY
George & Alice Kent - Warren Co NJ
Others in Warren Co NJ: Dell [Adele?] Gibbs;J.S.Audness or Auduss
Others in Northampton Co PA: Charles East & Martha Stackhouse; Susan Becker & Hannah G Featherman; Mary E Ernest & Michael Picht
The parents of Jacob Dietrich Kintz 1830-1908 is a brick wall.You can read my query at
