According to "The Register of Overwharton Parrish, Stafford Co, VA 1723-1758 & Sundry Historical & Genealogical Notes" compiled & published by George Harrison Sanford King, Fredricksburg, VA 1961, p 11, "There were two Brent families in Stafford County which have been the subject of genealogies by Mr. Chester Horton Brent: The Descendants of Col. Giles Brent, Capt. George Brent and Robert Brent, Gent. [1946], and The Descendants of Hugh Brent [1936]. The former is supplemented by Dr. George Mason Graham Stafford in his work, General George Mason Graham [1947]." Mr. King goes on to note "It is and error in The Descendants of Hugh Brent, page 59, where it is stated that Anne Brent (1737-1802) married Hugh Atwell. She married on November 14, 1762 Thomas Atwell, Gentleman, (1737-17880 of Prince William County, Virginia and both of their last wills and Testaments remain of record in Prince William County. Their children were: (1) Mary, born August 31, 1763; (2) Charles Brent, born September 5, 1765 [Revolutionary pensioner #S.10064]; (3) Ann (November 2, 1766-Oct 10, 1831) marri Col Johnston Smith and David Gibson; (4) Margaret, born April 16, 1768; (5) William born January 16, 1770, d.s.p., 1797; (6) Thomas born 19 November 1771; and (7) Hugh Atwell born June 2, 1774."
I disagree with the research who though this line was not related to the other Brent line. I believe they are back in England. This line of Hugh Brent may not be a direct line from the Stoke line of Giles, George and Robert Brent, but the naming patterns of the children are such, and their were many Hugh's and Hugo's in the early English Brent's that I believe their is a common ancestor among these Brent's.
