I summarize below. Giles Brent founded the first permanent settlement in Stafford. He hadfirst emigrated from Somersetshire to Kent Island, MD in 1637, andmarried a twelve-year old Indian princess named Kittamaquad. (Herfather, Emperor of the Piscataways, had sent her to Giles' sisterMargaret to learn English when he converted to Christianity.) Upon the death of his father-in-law, Giles claimed to have inheritedmost of Maryland. This claim was popular neither with the Indians norwith Lord Baltimore. As the book puts it discreetly: "In the end Gileswas encouraged to leave Maryland." Around 1652, Giles crossed the Potomac and settled on the north sideof Aquia Creek. Shortly therafter he built a second home furtherinland, where he died in 1672. Giles had a son Giles II who spent much of his short career fightingIndians (though not, apparently, Piscataways). Giles II married hiscousin Mary, who in 1677 procured a judicial separation on the groundsof extreme cruelty. He later died at the age of 27, leaving two sons,Giles III and William. It is not clear from the book whether thisWilliam was the same as the William I mentioned earlier. Giles I also had a brother George (m. Marianna Peyton) who apparentlyremained in England, but whose son George (1640-1699) joined his uncleGiles in America. This George and his brother Robert both becameprominent lawyers in the area, despite their status as Catholics in aProtestant colony. The next generation, sons of George, included three brothers: George(d. 1700), Nicholas (d. 1711, aged about 34) and Robert (d. ca. 1721,aged about 40). This latter Robert begat yet another George. Altogether the Brents seem to have been a prominent and sometimescolorful family in the early history of Stafford. http://home.swbell.net/mck9/brascott/ "Genealogies of Virginia Families From the Virginia Magazine ofHistory & Biography, Vol 1, Adams-Chiles", Genealogical Publishers,Co, Baltimore,1981 "At some time prior to 1687, Nicholas Hayward the younger, togetherwith his brother, Richard Foote, Robert Bristow, (the last twomerchants of London) and George Brent, of Woodstock, Virginia,purchased from the proprietors of the Northern Neck 30,000 acres ofland in the present Prince William county, then in Stafford, whichthey called Brenton. [They purchased it from Thomas Lord Culpepper,whose granddaughter married John Brent, son of Stephen, a cousin ofGeorge Brent.] Portions of this land, which lies about the present village ofBrentsville, long remained in the possession of the descendants of thefour purchasers. On February 10th, 1686-7, a proclamation issued byKing James II authorizes the pruchasers of the said tract to freelyexercise their religion. Presumably all of them were Roman Catholics." ibid. p 337 "George Brent was a member of the Virgina House of Burgesses forStafford County in 1688." ibid. "Bishop Meade in his 'Old Churches Ministers and Families ofVirginia,' p 205, referring to the records of Stafford county, goingback to 1664, states" Among the items furnished in the presentment, inthe year 1693, by Richard Gipson, of George and Robert Brent as beingPapish recusants. He calls upon the court to assist upon their takingthe test oath in order to {admit them} to the practice of the law.That oath is abjuration of Trans-substantiation. The court sustainsthe presentment and requires them to take the oath; but they refuseand appeal to the General Court in Williamsburg. What was the issue weknow not, but we believe that they were leading men at the Bar afterthat. One of them was associated in the practice with the firstWilliam Fitzhugh, and one of them was joint sponsor with the firstGeorge Mason at the baptism of an Indian boy whom they had takenprisoner." ibid. p 350 "In regard to head rights: Every person coming to Virginia wasentitled to 50 acres of land. This was called a 'head right.' Personswhose transportation was paid by others did not get the land in personbut their 'head right' belonged to the person bringing them in.Freemen frequently sold their rights, so it is impossible to tellpositively when a patentee brought in the persons who are entered ashead rights under his patent. For instance, in one of these Brent patents appear the names of Capt.Robert Felgate, his son Erasmus and wife Sibilla. These people wereall living in York county before the Brents came to Virginia. For somereason Felgate had not used these rights and they were sold to Brent.Every time a Virginian made a voyage to England and returned heconstrued it that he was entitled to 50 acres. This accounts forGeorge Brent's name appearing as a head right several times' Father: Richard * BRENT b: 1573 in Larke Stoke, Gloucestershire,England Mother: Elizabeth * REED b: ABT 1578 in of Tusburie, England Marriage 1 Mariana * PEYTON b: BET 1590 AND 1600 Married: in Isle of Ely, England 2 Children 1.
