Daughter of George Elisha Marks and Sarah (Smith) Marks.

Matilda Marks was born on November 4, 1780.

Matilda Marks married Isaac Kent on November 12, 1801, in Frederick County, Md.

Matilda Mark's Kent died on January 23, 1811.

It seems she likely died of complications of childbirth as daughter Milly had been born late December 29th, 1810. At that time she died the children would have ranged from 1 month to 9 years.

It is speculative that the children may have been taken in by either Matilda's brother (the George Mark's family) or Isaac Kent's brother (Ashford Kent's family) both of whom were close by and on the same Census page - #16 in the 1820 census.

The children of Isaac Kent and Matilda Marks are Thomas, Sarah, John, Smith, and Milly.

The attached "Elisha Smith and Elizabeth (Lashbrook) Mark's Family Bible which shows Matilda Marks and Isaac Kent's children. There is no mention of Isaac as the father in the Bible although there is a marriage record of Isaac Kent and Matilda Marks on November 12, 1801, in Fredricks County, Maryland available on Ancestry.

It does seem odd that there is no mention of Isaac in the Bible. One can only wonder the reason why.
