1880 census of Lawrence Co., KY, district 7, Patrick Gap, sheet 30, line 43, lists:
Smith Trent, 51, farmer; Rebecca, 34, wife; Josaphine, 4, daughter; Masourie B. , 1, daughter. All born in West Virginia. (There is no other Smith Trent household anywhere in KY, VA or WV in 1860 or 1870 except the Smith Trent married to Phebe, so if this isn't the same one, then he appeared out of nowhere. Also, the age for Rebecca here matches that of Rebecca Lambert in the Smith Trent household in 1870. Maybe he took up with the housekeeper and Phebe divorced him? From the birthplaces, they had very recently moved from WV. McDowell Co. WV marriage records show no marriage for Smith Trent in 1870-1880. Should check Logan Co. VA and Lawrence Co. Ky.)
