Here's what I know about grandmother Polly Zent. Her birthdate is Mar 19, 1799 and she was born in PA, she married John Wingert/Wingard on March 8, 1821. John was born in Franklin County PA Sept 13, 1798. Polly and John moved from PA to Stark County, OH sometime during the 1820's and they had four children, 3 sons and one daughter.

Today at the library I learned that Jacob Zent also lived in Franklin County (1830 census) and he probably had 6 daughters and 2 sons. Jacob lived in Dauphin county in 1790. His wife's name was Susannah.
