John Kent (Richard 1), son of Richard, Sr., by his second wife, Emma, was born in Newbury, Mass., July 20, 1645.
  Of his early live but little is known, as his father died when he, John, was but nine years old. Who he lived with or where we cannot, with our present knowledge, state. But he probably left the town where he was born while very young. He, without doubt, had a guardian, who, perhaps, bound him out to some farmer, or to learn a trade. That he had to fight his early battles of this alone, as it were, is almost sure, and we will hope that his lot was cast among those who were kind to the fatherless boy. We next find him at Dedham, Mass., where he was  married, if the figures are rightly deciphered, May 21, 1662, to Hannah Grisold. We think, however, that this date is in error, as he at that date would be only 17 years of age; and then again their first child was not born until July 2, 1667. He was probably married May 21, 1666, and it is presumed soon after removed to Charlestown, Mass., as none of the births of their children are found at Dedham, but are all among the Charlestown records.
  "In 1673 John Kent and Hannah, his wife, were admitted to full communion in the First Church in Charlestown by dismission from the Church of Christ in Dedham" (vol. 23, page 436, New Eng. His. and Gen. Reg.) The Dedham records have her name "Grisold," the Charlestown "Gissell." She died Jan. 9, 1690.
