From "The Bent Family in America" Allen Bent 1900:

"Peter Bent (John1) was b. in Penton-Gragton, Eng., in April, 1629, and d. in England, whither he seems to have gone on business, in May, 1678 aged 49. He was but nine years old when he accompanied his father to America. At or before the incorporation in 1660 of Marlboro', which was carved out of the wilderness to the west of Sudbury, he had moved thither. He and his father were among the thirteen who petitioned the Colony in 1656 for the laying out of the town. He built a grist mill on Stony Brook, in what is now the town of Southboro', and became a busy
man. In 1661 he contracted to build a bridge across the Sudbury rived 'for horse and man and laden cart to pass over.' More than once he went to England, no small undertaking in those days. He had build his house
just south of Williams Pond, a mile of more from the present center of Marlboro'. We commend his good judgement on the selection of a site. Here his little family was growing up when suddenly the Indians, stirred up by the animosities of the Narragansett chief, King Phillip, swopped down upon the growing town, one Sunday morning (March 26, 1676), while the good people were at church, applied the fire-brand, and Marlboro' was no more. The November before, a small band of Indians crept up to Bent's mill and scalped his son (probably Zacheus, a lad of nine years) left him for dead -- he afterwards recovered -- and carried off one of his apprentices, Christopher Muchin. ... Two years after Marlboro' was burned by the Indians, Peter died. ... Peter left a widow Elizabeth (maiden name not ascertained), who was living in Sudbury in 1704, when she deeded to her elder son her widow's third of the Marlboro' property. A year after her husband's death she petitioned the Governor and Council for
aid."

Peter married Elizabeth. Elizabeth died after 1704. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

"Solomon Johnson, whose parentage and ancestry have not been found, was in Sudbury, MA 3 Feb. 1639, when his twin sons, Joseph and Nathaniel, were born. His wife Elinor, who parentage and ancestry are unknown, was
certainly the mother of an older son, John (Middlex Co. Deeds V20 P697, wherein Elinor calls John her son), born 1629 or 'thereabout' (deposition, Middlesex Co. Court Files, Apl. Session 1686, Stone vs Bemis). He was an original proprietor of Sudbury, having received 28 acres in the first, second and third divisions of land (Sudbury Town Records, Bk. 1, pp. 21 and 52). He was made freeman after his son Solomon took the oath in 1645. ... He was an original proprietor of Marlborough, MA, receiving a home lot of twenty-three acres, 1660 (Register V 62, p. 227). Later he received a one seventh undivided part of eleven meadows, his share in these meadows being indicated in his will, except such as were alienated by deeds, viz. in 1683 about five acres, in which he is described as 'Solomon Johnson, Sr. Tailor' ... His death is entered briefly on the Marlborough Records, 'Deacon Johnson died
June 1687.' His will (Suffolk Co. Probate, v 10 p 127), dated 28 Mar. 1685, and probvated 12 Oct. 1687, provides for wife 'Elenor' and son Nathaniel; and Nathaniel's three sons Joseph, Samuel, and John; mentions son Solomon, and recites giving him 'long since' his portion; also son John, having already a portion; bequeaths the remainder of his estate to his 'sonne-in-law John Barnes'; and makes his 'sonn's John Johnson, John Barnes Sear and Nathaniel Johnson executors.'"

From "The Bent Family in America" Allen Bent 1900:
"John Bent, first of the name in America, was b. in Penton-Grafton Eng. in Nov., 1603, came to America in his 35th year and settled in Sudbury, MA, where he remained until his death, Sept. 27, 1672 at nearly 69. He
married in England about 1624, Martha ___, who died in Sudbury, May 15, 1679, well along in years.

The family -- John, his wife and five small children --- sailed from Southhampton in the latter part of April 1638, in the ship 'Confidence' of London, John Jobson, master, the whole number of passengers, 'greate and little' being 110 souls. ... John Bent continued to till the soil in America as he had done in England. His farm was in the part of Sudbury now the town of Wayland, about 16 miles directly west of Boston. He was one of the original settlers of the town... John Bent was made a freeman in 1640; that is because he had become a member of the church of the Puritans, he was allowed to take part in town affairs. ... in 1656 he was one of the petitioners for the town of Marlboro', but it is unlikely that he ever lived there. It was to find a home for his son that prompted him to join the petitioners ..."

From "The English Ancestors of John Bent, of Sudbury" Felton NEHGR V49
1895:

"The difficulty which exists in establishing the English homes of many of the early emigrants to New England does not confront us in the case of John Bent. His name occurs on the list of passengers sailing in the ship Confidence from Southampton, 24 April, 1638, now on file in the PRO in London. The record is as follows: 35 John Bent of Penton in the County of South Husbandman. Martha his wife; Robert, William, Peter, John and Ann their children; all under ye age of xii yeares."

From "The Bent Family in America" Allen Bent 1900:
"John Bent, first of the name in America, was b. in Penton-Grafton Eng. in Nov., 1596, came to America in his 42nd year and settled in Sudbury, MA, where he remained until his death, Sept. 27, 1672 at nearly 76. He
married in England about 1624, Martha ___, who died in Sudbury, May 15, 1679, well along in years.

The Bent family arrived in MA on the ship, the "Confidence", a 200 ton ship, that departed on April 24, 1638, of London, departed Southampton, England for New England. The ship's list included John Bent, 35, husbandman, of Penton, Hants; his wife, Martha; Ann Bent, daughter, under the age of 12; John Bent, son, under the age of 12; Peter, son, under 12; Robert, under the age of 12; William, under the age of 12.

John married Martha about 1624 in England. Martha died in 1679 in Sudbury, Middlesex Co., MA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
