According to Halsey Kent's obituary in the Greenwich Press,(Thurs. 14 Mar 1940), his father, Rev. Theodore Kent, was a Baptist pastor.To support his meagre income, he established a school for Cubans in West Farms, NY and later accepted an appointment to the U.S. Treasury Dept. in Washington, D.C. where he died in 1865.I am trying to determine who the Rev. Theodore Kent's parents, grandparents etc. were. In addition I would be interested in learning more about the above childrenAny helpwould be greatly appreciated.
