I found the following, which seems to indicate that Hannah Murch (nee Kent), wife of John Murch, was the sister of Stephen Kent, Clement's father. The children he had guardianship over would have been his cousins and Hannah his aunt, ifI am reading this correctly, going by the dates. Clement Kent was said to be the son of Stephen and Hannah Kent.
