I asked about Nick's mention at his Deathday party of the "Wailing 
Widow of Kent" who had come all the way to attend. Jim Flanagan, wise 
fellow, did a web search and came up with a book published 
anonymously in 1788, titled "The Widow of Kent, or The History of 
Mrs. Rowley." I did a web search of my own after that, and I was 
frankly astonished to see how many times "widow" and "kent" and 
even "rowley" show up on the same page (mostly geanology ones)! So I 
think Jim's find is the best bet. :)
