  2.   Source:Briggs, L. Vernon. Genealogies of the Different Families Bearing the Name of Kent in the United States, Together with Their Possible English Ancestry, p. 50, says John was born 31 Jan 1757. The published VRs of Mendon shows the birth of Joshua on 31 Jan 1751. Such a birth would not fit in the family, so it seems likely it is a misreading of 1757. But that still leaves a discrepancy in the name of the child.

    Joshua's baptism is recorded in 1759 in the same place as John's baptism in 1757, so a birth in 1751 or 1757 for Joshua seems unlikely. On p. 70, John is said to d. 1815, aged 58, which calculates to a birth in 1757, but the basis for this report of his death is not found, so that age at death could be a calculation by Briggs. All that is known by found evidence is that John was baptized in 1757.
