Various records, researched by Ralph Terry show:

Willie Kent was the daughter of Sampson C. Kent and Anna Myers (probably Miles). They married June 23, 1860 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

The family was found living in Winston County, Mississippi. Georgia, 26, is shown as the head of the household with Sampson not present. Children are John, 9; Melissa, 7; Willie, 4; and Charles, 11/12.

In 1880 they are living in Pike County, Georgia. Both Sam, 40 and Georgia A., 35, are present with children, Willie, 13; Charles, 11; Thomas J., 6; Pikston, 3; Georgia A., 1 month.

Willie Kent married J. H. Wright October 13, 1882 in Etowah County, Alabama.

Willie's parents were located in Coweta County, Georgia when the census was taken in 1900. Sam C. Kent, 66, born October 1833 in Georgia; Georgia A. Kent, 56; Sarah L. Kent, 17; P. J. Miles Kent, 15.

It is probable Sampson Kent died in Coweta County, Georgia and Georgia Anna moved in with her daughter, Willie in Marshall County, Alabama. Georgia Anna Kent's tombstone shows "Ann Kent, wife of S. C. Kent," with her birth and death dates. Both Willie and her mother are buried in the Red Apple Cemetery at Boaz, Alabama.Willie E Kent Wright Abney was born to Sampson C.and Georgia Anna Kent.

She married after 1914 to Henry Abney.
