| Notes for Loranzo Dow ("Ranze") Trent |
L. D. Trent was known as "Ranze", and the 1910 census gives his name as Loranzo D. He was apparently named after Lorenzo Dow, a well-known evangelist and revivalist, sort of a 19th century Billy Graham.
Index to Kentucky Death Records lists L. D. Trent, d. 2 Oct 1942, age 79, in Rowan Co., certificate Vol. 55, #27423. (This would imply a birthdate in 1862 or 1863, which is not consistent with any census records. His parents were not even married until 1872, and he was listed as age 9 in the 1880 census.) |
| Census |
1900 census of Rowan Co., Hogstown3, lists as family #153:
Rans Trent, 28, b. 11-71; Mary, 25, b. 5-75; married 7 years, 3 children, 3 living; Annie, 7, b. 5-93; Rena, 5, b. 5-95; Alex, 2, b. 12-97. Ranz is listed as born in Virginia (as well as his parents), but all of the children are marked as both parents born in KY.
1910 census of Rowan Co., Hoggtown, E.D. 156, p. 6B, taken 22 Apr, records as family #101:
Trent, Loranza D., 39, Va Va Va; Mary, 37, Ky Ky Ky; married 17 years, 7 children, 7 living; Anna, 16; Rena, 14; Alex, 10; Bertha, 8; Jason, 6; Ellen, 4; Phillip, 1. All children born in Ky.
1920 census of Rowan Co., Ky, magisterial district #3, lists as family #210 (next to Dora Trent):
Trent, Rans, 48; Mary, 46; Anna, 24; Jessie, 16; Ellen, 14; (dau) Philiph; Martha, 8; Sherman, 5.
The recording of Philip(h) as a daughter is incorrect. There are many other families with gender errors. This enumerator apparently did not ask about gender, and guessed it on the basis of name, which didn't work well for some names, especially if the name was taken down wrong. |
| Notes for Mary Pettit |
Family bible owned by Lila Petitt Chadwell has entry "Mary Pettit was Born May the 9th 1874"
I cannot find her in the Kentucky death records. The only Mary/Molly/Mollie Trent of the right generation in Rowan Co. is Mollie A. Trent who d. 3 Nov 1957, age 76, but I sent for that death certificate and it gives her parents as William Austin and Catherine Adkins. Maybe she remarried. She would have been 68 when Ranz died. |
| Notes for Loranzo Dow ("Ranze") & Mary (Family) |
| Rowan County Marriage Register, Book A, p. 26, records marriage of L. D. Trent and Mary Petitt, 20 Aug 1892, by W. T. Hall, witnesses Julis Trent and Martha Trent. In the "at" blank, Julis Trents is crossed out, with no replacement text. But considering that the next entry is the marriage of Julis Trent and Martha Black at John Blacks (her father), with witnesses L.D. Trent and Mary Trent, it was almost certainly a double ceremony at the home of John Black (whose wife Martha, his 2nd, was the twin of Mary Pettit's mother Mary Susan Riddle.) |
