Moss Kent's Father, Barnabus Dickinson

Moss’s parents were Barnabus Dickinson and Lydia Davenport.

They came from the New England States, and their ancestors came to North America on that crowded little ship, the Mayflower.

In 1812, Barnabus and Lydia, left their home in Denmark, New York and came to Canada.

Barnabus started a stagecoach service, from Montreal to Kingston. Some time later, he left the business with his brother, Horace and they returned to Denmark.
