My ancestor Peter Kent left Fairfax, VA and moved to Wilkes County, GA in 1791 and his brother Daniel Kent moved there also. Jesse is not a name listed in the Peter Kent family, however Peter's brothers John Kent, and Sampson Kent were in Oglethorpe by 1806 and were on the tax lists in 1813. It is certainly possible that one of them had a son Jesse Kent especially since Jesse named sons Sampson and John. Wish I could be of more help but perhaps there is a clue here. If this is the right line, we know that Peter Kent's father is Benoni Kent. Virgina
