Obituary from the Pontiac Weekly Bill Poster (Pontiac, Oakland County, Michigan, USA) on Wednesday, February 5, 1879, page 3, column 2:
Died, at his residence in this city, Feb. 1, 1879, Alexander Kent, aged 66 years. Funeral from Zion church, Thursday, Feb. 6th, at half past one o'clock.
OTHER INFORMATION:
Did not find any Upper Canada/Ontario Land Petitions for him.
Per "The Historical Hamlet of ASHGROVE" by Betty Brownsridge:
Ashgrove, situated a t the intersection of Trafalgar Road and 10 sideroad, has been the hub of a thriving community since 1820. It was first known as Leonard's Corners after Edward Leonard who purchased property on the south corner and built a hotel, naming it after himself.
....
Mr. Kent had a hotel on the east corner in 1852. In 1869 Mr. Payne owned it. It was called Esquesing House. It had a stable on the ground floor with an outside staircase to upstairs rooms. The weigh scales, located here, were a boon to farmers selling their grain.
I believe the location of this property would be Concession 8, Lot 10 in Esquesing township, Halton County, Ontario, Canada.
