Samuel was a Sergeant in King Phillips War.

The Kents of Northern Connecticut were, from the days of the earliest settlement of the Connecticut River Valley in private and civic life, among the most substantial and influential citizens. During the French and Indian wars they fought under Gen. Phineas Lyman, and for over two hundred years the name appears among the responsible and trusted officials of the town of Suffield.

COMMEMORATIVE BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD OF HARTFORD COUNTY, CONN., J. H. Beers & Co., Chicago, 1901, reports that the history of the family in Suffield begins with Sergt. Samuel Kent, who left Brookfield in 1675, Springfield in 1676, and as a permanent settler in Suffield had accorded to him by the town a house lot, containing sixty acres. In 1679 he also procured a grant for his son Samuel of forty acres and in 1682 a house lot on High street adjoining his own. Information on several generations of Kents is also provided.
