[Doddsville - The Last Incorporation]
p 348-349 -
... "Still earlier than the Dodds brothers in the Doddsville community was John H. Kent of Winona, who bought 3,200 acres in 1880. The tract, for which he paid 50 cents to $2.50 an acre, was described as wild land where bear wallows were a common sight. This acreage lay along the Quiver River in a community that was called Quiver; it encompassed the Young and Morrow and the Moss Fisackerly plantations and extended up to the eastern limits of the present site of Doddsville. According to one source, Mr. Kent never actually lived on this land but merely used it as a grazing ground for his cattle, many of which were drowned in the 1882 flood [citing Ruleville Record, 15 Dec 1922.] This is possibly refuted by a personal item in the columns of an 1891 Sunflower Toscin, which reported that Miss Mary Kent of Winona had come to Quiver, as this settlement was known, to visit her father, John Kent, who was 'quite feeble.' The Kent and Fisackerly families, the latter also having a long association with Sunflower County, came from Mecklenburg County, Virginia, to Tennessee and then to Carroll County, Mississippi, about 1846. Several years later they settled in the Bethlehem community six miles from Winona in Montgomery County, whence came many of Doddsville residents." ... "On March 10 of that year [1890] Thomas J. Kent, perhaps a son or younger brother of John Kent, was made postmaster."
p 350 - [regarding a trip by Editor Adair [of the Sunflower Toscin] in 1889]
... "Stopping with T. J. Kent, he found John Kent 'sawing and selling large bills of lumber and getting ready to gin all the neighbors' cotton and grind all the neighbors' corn.'
... The Board of Supervisors established a voting precinct for Quiver at Kent's Mill, and on October 5, 1894, three election commissioners were appointed. They were John H. Kent, T. J. Kent, and G. J. Weissenger.
... Following Mr. Kent and Mr. Adair to the Doddsville area were other citizens of Montgomery County. In 1901 two of Mr. Kent's grandsons, Dr. J. E. Coleman and his brother, James T. (Jim) Coleman, joined the approximately fifty persons then making up the population of the community [Doddsville]." ...
