   JOHN H. TRENT, one of the best farmers of Jefferson Township, is a native of
what was formerly Eel River Township, Greene County, Ind., born February 2,
1833, one of six children born to Josiah and Margaret (Crabtree) Trent, who were
among the earliest settlers of Greene County, they coming from Virginia. In
early life, Mr. Trent, our subject, was put to hard work, and has kept at that
most of his life. His advantages for an education were limited, but he is giving
his children all the opportunities in that direction that lie in his power. He
says the only trade he learned was to grub, maul rails and chop wood. January
28, 1859, he married Parmelia Galletly, and six children have blessed the union—
James W., May 11, 1861; Alice, November 26, 1862; Calvin G., April 23, 1867;
Minnie B., November 11, 1869; Eva D., November 20, 1874; Billy P., March 6,
1877. Mr. Trent owns 240 acres of land under a high state of cultivation, and
raises considerable stock. He is a Democrat, and his wife is a member of the
Methodist Episcopal Church at Oak Grove.
