Elizabeth Gent's Family September 12, 2002

Descendants of John Gent
Generation No. 1

1.  JOHN1 GENT1 was of Essex Co., England2, and died 1661 at sea2,3.  He married ELIZABETH4. "John Gent, a fisherman at Salem 1642, trading at Pemaquid 1647, died at sea 1661. Widow Elizabeth bought land east of Mason's Neck 1677, and married George Speare of Boston. They returned to Sheepscot, then called New Dartmouth, 1683. Children Elizabeth who married John, son of James Phipps, and had John, born 1668, Mary (Mason, Allen) and Thomas, born 1642." (Spencer's Pioneers on Maine Rivers)   November 23, 1659, he owed money to estate of Martine Stebbins in Boston5,6.
George Spear's petition to Andros called John an ancient inhabitant of New Dartmouth, possessed of considerable tracts of land there, especially on the Neck, which he enjoyed until the late Indian War, and 'cast away' while his family was in Boston.  (Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire)
The Gent's  were early settlers of Sheepscot River in Maine where Elizabeth had purchased in 1665 from two Indian sagamores, Daniel and Dock Swash at what is now called New Dartmouth, in Cornwall Co., but at the time of the Indian Wars in 1676, they were forced to depart. Elizabeth and family came to Boston, but John was "cast away" about this time.  He was a fisherman7,8,9.
"That tract of land which is formed by the dividing of the Sheepscot River at the South, and the branching of the Dyer's River at the North, with the Sheepscot on the West, was anciently called "The Little Necke", in opposition to "The Great Necke" already spoken of, as being formed by, and lying between, "Mill River" and "Crumbies Reach".  After the purchase of Mason in 1652, it was called "Masons Necke", and afterwards the "town necke".  It is a beautiful place.  It is more than a mile long, and its mean width is one-third of a mile.  Its surface is nearly level, quite free from ledges and stones, and with its loamy soil forms excellent land for cultivation.  Towards the North, between "Garrison Hill" and "The Falls," is a rising ground, where during the early days of this settlement, was a fort, and where is now the "Burying ground" in which the inhabitants, since the year 1630, have been accustomed to inter their dead."
"Madam Elizabeth Gent lived on Garrison Hill. She was a large landholder,  having purchased the tract of the Indian Sagamores that lies between Dyer's and Cavessix rivers, and from the North line of John Mason's purchase, to Winnesitico Falls, -- above Hartley Erskine's.  Her son Thomas Gent lived "on the Eastward side of Sheepscot Great Neck, near the point," where Francis Dodge now, 1863 (John Dall's depostion.  John Curtis' deposition.  Thomas Gent's residence at Damariscotta was only brief) , lives.  John Manning resided near the Common.  He married John Mason's daughter, and John Mason married the daughter of Elizabeth Gent.  One witness says, John Mason's house was on the low ground, near the head of the cove and a large spring."
"The deeds, under which Madam Gent and her son Thomas Gent held their lands, are not now in existence.  The location was beautifully chosen.  The ground was level and well adapted to agriculture. The rivers were bountifully stored with fish.  The marshes and meadows afforded large quantities of hay for their cattle; the outlands were heavily covered with forests; and there was easy access to the sea.  All things considered, their situation could not be excelled on any part of the river.  They could hunt in winter, and find an easy market for their lumber or whatever they might have to sell.  Damariscotta, Pemaquid and Georgetown were their nearest neighbors."
"John Mason, Nicholas Manning and Madam Gent at Sheepscot, bought all the lands between Sheepscot and Mill Rivers, and from Winnisittico Falls, the present Match factory, down, so as to include the upper end of Cape Newaggan Island.
Madam Gent bought a tract next above Mason's.  Her bounds commenced at the Sheepscot Falls and appear to have followed Mason's boundary, across the cove to a "parcel of pines" then to another cove up Crumbie's Reach thence round the Great Neck---up Mill River to about where the line now divides the towns of Jefferson and Newcastle---thence Westerly near "Winnisitico Falls" to the Sheepscot River---thence down the river to the first mentioned bound.  So that Madam Gent had in her possession a fine tract of country."  (The History of Ancient Sheepscot and Newcastle - Rev. David Quimby Cushman)
"Above Back River was Mason's Neck, which had been acquired from the natives by John Mason January 20, 1652-3.  The southerly extremity of this land was bought by John White (son of John White - partner to James Phips and 2nd husband of Mrs. Mary Phips), of Sheepscot, who sold half to Phillip Bendall July 10, 1664, and Bendall conveyed it to Robert Scott the next year.  Above the White premises was another tract bought from Mason by William James and transferred to Thomas Gent.
The next lot above Mason's Neck lay beyond the falls and on the eastern bank opposite Nathaniel Draper's house and was bought from the Indians January 3, 1662-3, by Elizabeth, the widow of John and mother of Thomas Gent.
"Many years later John Pearce deposed that the families of Brown, Gent, Phillips, Scott and Taylor were the only ones living at Newcastle and Damariscotta in 1665, and these planters all took the oath of allegiance at Sheepscot that year."  (Spencer's Pioneers on Maine Rivers)
"August 13, 1676;  "Others who abandoned the east bank of the Sheepscot were Elizabeth, widow of John Gent, and her son Thomas, who escaped to Boston.  At a meeting in the latter town six years later some of these eastern refugees voted to return to their deserted farms at "New Dartmouth". They proposed to build a fort on Gent's, otherwise known as "The Great Neck," and surround it with homesteads in close formation.
The new pioneers, providing livestock and provisions for the undertaking, began the plantation at Sheepscot in 1683.  Some of the old settlers had deceased and were represented by children or widows." (Spencer's Pioneers on Maine Rivers)
In 1715;  A deed given by her son Thomas in this year recites that his mother Elizabeth, while sole, bought large tracts there from the Indians - 1665.  She herself deposed that she lived on the Neck, at times with her son Thomas, at times with her daughters.
