Biography
George Brent of Detford, Worcestershire, born in 1602, was the 6th son of Richard Brent and Elizabeth Reade.[1]
George married after 1635 to Anne Peyton, 6th and youngest daughter of John Peyton, Knt., of Doddington, Cambridgeshire, by Alice, daughter of John Peyton, Knt., Bart.[1] They had six sons and six daughters, identified in "Letters to William Fitzhugh"[2] and as follows:
- Capt. George, emigrant, died about/before 1700, married first to Elizabeth Green and second to Mary[3] Sewall[1]
- John,[1] died young[3]
- Henry, married daughter of Henry Calvert, emigrated to Maryland and died there[3] before 6 August 1694, no surviving issue[1]
- William,[1] unmarried[3]
- Edward,[1] died young at the College of Douay in Flanders[3]
- Robert, Gent., emigrated to Virginia, married Anne Baugh and is buried at Acquia.[3] Robert was born about 1660, died testate in Virginia on 19 January 1695/6, was an attorney and had children with wife, Anne Baugh.[1]
- Anne, wife of James Clifton, Esq.[1][3]
- Elizabeth,[1] unmarried[3]
- Dorothy,[1] married _____[3]
- Mary, married her cousin Giles Brent,[3] son of Giles[1]
- Margaret,[1] unmarried[3]
- Ursula, wife of Charles Umfraville[1][3]
George had two further children, both named in the will of his brother William (dated 16 August 1687, proved 22 December 1705); they were left bequests of £100 on condition that they relinquished claims on their father's estate.[4][5][6]
- Richard
- Jane
George Brent died in 1671.[1]
Research Notes
The 1687 will of George's brother William refers to William's "Sister Jane Brent the Widow and Relict of my late Brother George Brent".[4][5][6] This suggests either that Anne Peyton was also known as Jane, or, perhaps more likely, that George had a second marriage, to someone called Jane, and that his wife Anne Peyton died in his lifetime.

I, pages 304-307 BRENT) that was badged by the Magna Carta Project in 2015 and re-reviewed by Thiessen-117 on 11 March 2020.

https://archive.org/stream/virginiamagazine01virguoft#page/122/mode/2up Would it be OK to make these connections? Anyone see any problems with this? The only one I can see is that George is called "George Brent of Worcestershire, England" (not Gloucestershire, but I see he was Christened at Worcestershire) and they are next to each other.
