his father much of his life. He served in the Civil war along with uncles and
cousins from central Illinois. He married Sarah Brewer and they had seven
children by her...the sixth child was Perry and lived only three years, dying
in 1860, the same year the seventh child, James Coleman Trent was born. When

had one son Milton Reed. They two then had a second family of nine more
children.
