Close examination of the will of Joseph Elias KENT (1750-1929) of Harrison County, Ohio, appears to show by omission that Charity KENT, second wife of James WORTH (1779-1860), was the oldest daughter of Joseph and Ann PERRIN KENT. That would make Charity, in effect, foster mother of her own siblings Absalom and Sarah, who married, respectively, Worth's daughter Isabella and his son John. On the Worth family tree, we tentatively place Charity as born "about 1789" and died "before October 1824," the date of Joseph's will. Reasons behind this conclusion: Virtually all of the many family trees for Joseph Elias KENT on Ancestry.Com agree that he and Ann PERRIN had eight children, (in assumed order of birth) Rachel, William, Ann, Rebecca, Absalom, Sarah, Catherine and Mariam. The list apparently was taken from Joseph KENT's will, ignoring a four-year gap between his marriage to Ann in 1787 and daughter Rachel's birth in 1791. Also, Joseph's grandsons Richard and William Worth, mentioned in the will, were the sons not of John and Sarah KENT WORTH, as placed in several trees, but of James and Charity KENT WORTH.
