Descendants of Henry Kent Sr. d. AFT 5 May 1677 in Calvert Co., MD

Finding a proven descendant of Henry Kent Sr., who d. AFT 5 May 1677 in Calvert Co., MD, has been more difficult than I had thought due to unproven links in Henry's line.
To overcome this problem, I would like to contact a man surnamed Kent who is a proven descendant of the subject Joseph Kent.Below is a link to my RootsWeb World Connect database page for Joseph Kent, a more well-known descendant of the Calvert Co. Kent family:

While there is one "weak link" between Joseph Kent and Henry Kent, the paper trail is pretty solid and convincing to me and other Kent researchers.
I'm hoping to find at least one such proven descendant to submit DNA samples to Family Tree DNA for the Kent surname project.This would let others, such as my line of Kents, support or disprove our descent for the Calvert Co., MD Kent family.
