Yes...John Bent Smitheman was the son of my William and Ann Bent Smitheman. I have John being born in 1844 England. He and his siblings Mary and William were born in England. When the family settled in Phila, my great grandfather Thomas was born - as well as: Ann B, Sara M., George B and Edward W.
Do you have any information on the Bent family in England or for that matrer the Smitheman side? Hope to hear from you.
