Census Notes for Julius Caesar Trent
1900 census of Rowan Co., KY, Hogstown3, lists family #152 as:
Julius Trent, 26, b. 6-74; Martha A., 24, b. 6-75; married 7 yrs, 3 children, 3 living; John H., 6, b. 11-93; William H., 4, b. 1-96; Henry E., 7/12; b. 10-99. Just as for his brother Ranze, Julius and his parents are listed as b. in VA, but all three children list both parents as b. in KY.

1910 census of Rowan Co., Ky, Hogstown, E.D. 156, p. 6B, records as family #104:
Trent, Julius, 37, Va Va Va; Martha A., 33, Ky Va Ky; married 17 years, 6 children, 6 living; John H., 16; William H., 13; Henry E., 10; Theodore, 8; Louis A., 5; Zora A., 1. All children born in Ky, parents Va Ky.
(Martha's father should not be listed as born in Virginia. Probably the enumerator was following the pattern of the children.)

1920 census of Rowan Co., Ky, magisterial district #3, lists as family #208 (between Harrison Trent and Dora Trent):
Trent, J. C., 47; Martha, 43; Lewis, 14; Jess, 11; Grumble, 8.
"Jess" must be Zora. I have no idea why he is listed under that name. It doesn't even match the middle initial given in 1910. Maybe the initial A is wrong and he was named Zora Jesse Trent.
Notes for Martha Ann Black
double stone in Black-Trent cemetery on Trent Ridge says "Martha A Black Trent July 6, 1877 - April 18, 1949 : Julius C Trent Jan 10, 1873 - Jan 28, 1957"

Her obituary in the Rowan County News of Thu, Apr. 21, 1949 says "Martha Ann Trent, 72, died at her home near here on Monday. On Aug. 20, 1892, she was married to Julius Trent, who survives. Also surviving are five sons, John Harvey Trent, Elliottville; Harrison Trent, Clearfield; Lewis Trent, Dayton, N.J.; Zora Trent, Elliottville; and Crumble Trent, Clearfield.
Notes for Julius Caesar & Martha Ann (Family)
Rowan County Marriage Register, Book A, p. 26, records marriage of Julis Trent and Martha Black, 20 Aug 1892, at the home of John Black, by W. T. Hall, witnesses L. D. Trent and Mary Trent. (I thought these said Truit until I saw their gravestones. The "en" is just 3 spikes.)

Most data on this family from Phil McBrayer's interview notes with Vada Trent, nee Vada Skaggs, wife of Julius' son Zora.
