Capt. Ent.<\/strong>\u00a0 This was probably Capt. Peter Ent (1749-1829), son of Valentine Ent and Susannah Moore. He was a captain during the Revolution, as listed in Stryker\u2019s Officers & Men, and afterwards owned land bordering John Lambert in Amwell Township.\u00a0Peter Ent moved to Ohio about 1820 where he got a land grant of 80 acres for his military service.<\/p>\n

His brother Daniel (1757-1847) also fought in the Revolution and returned to acquire a farm along Route 523 near Sandy Ridge Road. He remained in Amwell\/Delaware Township until his death in 1847. He was listed among the remaining veterans of the Revolution in the 1840 census.<\/p>\n
