Peter Ent married Sarah Ann (Sally) Croner on 13Apr1862 [per Andrew Co. Missouri Marriages No. 1722, Book A, page 302] Peter was the son of Peter Ent, born about 1786 in Tennessee and Elizabeth Jane Davis, b. 1791) Peter Jr. (husband of Sarah)was the brother of my ancestor Margaret Ent Minteer Goodrich (born in PA). Peter Ent Sr. could have been the son of the Peter Ent who crossed the Delaware with Washington, but I have not made that connection yet. After the Revolutionary war, many families went through the Cumberland Gap and on to Tennessee, but the Indian wars pushed families back north.

Sarah and Peter's children were Margaret Ent Magg, Elias Ent and Jeremiah (Jerry) Ent. I knew Margaret had a daughter Etta Kurz who lived in St. Joseph, MO. I tried to make connections with Etta years ago about family history but failed. A Kellerman researcher told me Etta had done some family history research. Etta was your grandmother's sister.

Sarah Ann Croner (Sally) (b. 1-3-1841) was the daughter of:

Margaret "Peggy" Kellerman born 5Apr1816 Bedford Co.,PA.; d. 12Jun1892 [She was the daughter of John Kellerman and Dorothea Kemberling Kellerman. John was the son of Revolutionary war hessian soldier Frederick Kellerman and Margaret Laird Kellerman.] Margaret Kellerman was sister of my ancestor Josiah Kellerman.

and Elias Croner b. 29Apr1808 Bedford Co., PA; d. 12Dec1882 Westphalia Kansas (burial Cherrymound Cemetery Anderson Co., MO) [Elias was the son of Dr. John (b. 5Jan1779 Bedford PA,d. 1848) and Sarah Croner. John was the son of John Groner missionary preacher (may have been born in Lancaster PA d. 1806 estate records are dated 17Dec1806) and Magdalene Speicher Groner. John and Magdalene married 3January 1774 Lancaster Co.PA, and they settled in Bedford, Somerset Co., PA in the 1770's)]

Margaret Kellerman and Elias Croner were married 19Mar1837, in Bedford Somerset Co., by Josiah Miller Justice of the Peace. They later immigrated to Anderson County

I would be interested in the readings you cite in Knox County. I have collected Croner and Ent information for years even though they are only related lines.

So we are cousins, through the Kellermans and the Ents and I can share more details.
