THE BRENT FAMILY

2. Richard baptized Nov. 7, 1656, married Margaret, daughter of Sir 

John Peshall, mentioned in grandmother's will—- will dated 22 July, 
1676. Codicil 27 Oct., 1678, will proved 10 May, 1679, his wife Margaret 
buried at Illmington 22 June, 1666; 3. Giles emigrated to Maryland 

1638, married Mary , died in Virginia 167 1; 4. William, married 

Barbara and died without issue, his wife buried at Illmington, 

July 10, 1686. Concerning this gentleman, Anthony a Wood says : 
11 Henry Carey began a translation of the history of France written by the 
Count Gualdo Priorato, but died after he had made some progress 
therein. Afterwards it was finished by Wtn. Brent, Esq'r, and printed 
at London, 1677 (being the same person that had before wrote (sic), a 
book entitled, "A discourse upon the nature of eternity and the condition 
of a separated soul according to the grounds of reason and principles of 
Christian Religion" London, 1655, written while he was a prisoner in 
the Gatehouse at Westminister. It was afterwards printed there again 
in 1674.) 

By the way it must be known that though we have had several Brents 
who have been students of the University (Oxford), yet this Will. Brent 
was not, but educated when a youth in Coll. of English Jesuits at St. 
Omers. Afterwards being entered into the Society of Grey's Inn, he 
became a barrister and a solicitor or such like officer under Thomas 
Earl of Strafford, when he was Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. He was 
born at Stoke Lark in Gloucestershire, in the Parish of Illmington in 
Warwickshire, and having suffered much for his religion by imprison- 
ment, payments of money, and I know not what, lived privately several 
years at Foxcote in Warwickshire, and in his last days in London. He 
died near Little Turnstile, in Holborn in the Parish of St. Giles, in the 
Fields near London, 21 May, 1691, aged 80 years or more." 5. Edward, 
unmarried; 6. George, administrator to his father 1652, mentioned in 
grandmother's will and in conveyance 1663 as "of Defford," married 
Marianna, daughter of Sir John Peyton of Doddington, and twice 
married afterwards; 7. Margaret born 1601, emigrated to Maryland 
1638, was alive in 1661, mentioned in grandmother's will; 8. Mary 
emigrated to Maryland 1638, died about 1657; 9. Catherine, baptized 
Aug. 25, 1630, died Nov. 1, 1640; 10. Elizabeth; 11. Eleanor; 12. Jane; 
13. Ann, baptized Aug. 7, 1637, at Illmington. 

Issue of Richard and Margaret (Peshall) Brent; 1. Robert, married 

Catherine , executor to his father, will dated 19 November, 1693, 

will proved 24 October, 1695. The following curious grant is men- 
tioned in Hotten's "Our Emigrant Ancestors " : 28 February, Grant to 
Robert Brent of all wrecks, &c, in or upon any of the Rocks, Shelves, 
seas or banks, on or near the coast of America between the Bermudas 
and Porto Rico or between Cartagena and the Havanna; 4. Jas. II, 
(1689). 2. Frances, died Dec. 20, 1656; 3. Mary, died April 3, 1657; 5. 



GENEALOGY. 101 

Katherine, born May 7, 1639; 6. Elizabeth, died July 14, 1656; 7. Giles, 
died before 1666; 8. Margaret, married Thomas Bartlett of Evesham 
and had Richard and other children. 

Thomas Bartlett, Mayflower Child?

DNA has proven that Thomas Bartlett who married Margaret Brent is my ancestor and by the way how exciting is it to have DNA confirm your paper trail? But now a rumor surfaces that Thomas is a descendant of the Mayflower? My first guess of course, is from Richard Warren whose daughter Mary married Robert Bartlett who came over on the Ann, or is it Anne? Now as Robert was born around 1603 and Thomas was born about 1645ish, the relationship should be easy to find right?

Well, have not found a birth for Thomas but his son William was born about 1690 and apprenticed out at the age of eight, so Thomas must have been born about 1670 or earlier and his wife Margaret? She is rumored to be born about 1645. Now she may have married a younger man but what are the odds right? Thomas Bartlett AKA Thomas Berkeley is rumored to be born about 1635 but his son William is proven by documentation to be born about 1690 when his mother is rumored to be about 45 and his father is rumored to be about 55. Highly possible, but unproven.

Now if Robert was born at 1603 and Thomas may have been born about 1635 this would mean that Thomas is most likely a son of Robert or he was born later and is a grandson. Right? It works in theory but the sources for Robert Bartlett's descendants dont mention a son or grandson named Thomas....

Furthermore, Robert was born in England and died in Plymouth while Thomas was in Stafford County,  Virginia in 1690 and in Westmoreland County in 1667 and in 1676 Thomas is mentioned in his father in laws will.

LOUISA CATHERINE ALDRIDGE #FamilyHistoryFriday

LOUISA CATHERINE OCTAVIA ALDRIDGE

LOUISA CATHERINE ALDRIDGE AKA OCTAVIA KING....

My great, great grandmother Louisa came from a broken home. Her mother Mary Gibson AKA Polly married Madison Martin Aldridge in Virginia in 1836. Sometime before 1846, Madison left Polly and moved west to West Virginia and then to Ohio with his second wife Mary Ann Chaffin. Louisa was born about 1850 in Virginia. Madison may have been her father but if so, he was living in Ohio at the time. When Louisa's brother Joseph Aldridge got married the name of his father on the marriage record was Green Aldridge. Green was probably the second husband of Polly Gibson and may have been the father of all of Polly's children. 

Madison raised his new family in Ohio and went back to Virginia in the fifties to divorce Polly. Why so long? What happened to Polly after the separation? When did she re-marry? Its a mystery.... 

In the 1860 census, Louisa was living with the family of Robert Jackson King in Floyd. Robert was the son of Henry D. King and Sarah Ann Bartlett. Henry and Sarah were the parents of my great, great grandmother Nancy Rachel King, who married George Riley Bartlett. Robert was married to Margaret Jane King, who was the daughter of Anthony King and Peggy Wright. Anthony and Peggy were the parents of my great, great grandfather Michael O. King who married Louisa in 1866.... 

I have yet to find a record of Green Aldridge or Polly Gibson in the census records BUT its possible that they may be the actual parents of Louisa and her siblings.

46/47 Henry D. King and Sarah Ann Bartlett #52ancestors

As the year draws to a close we grow ever closer to that 52nd week in the 52 weeks challenge. For week 46 I will share everything I have on my 46th and 47th ancestors....

Number 46 on my ancestor list is Henry D. King, the son of John King and Sarah Addair, and the husband of Sarah Ann Bartlett. Sarah Addair was the daughter of James Addair, Sr. Sarah AKA Sally Bartlett was the daughter of Reuben S. Bartlett and Elizabeth Jackson. 

Henry's father John King was a private in the Revolution, but his friends called him Captain as was the custom in the area.  

James Addair was born abt. 1750 and he died abt. June 13, 1823 in Montgomery Co., VA.

He married three times.
1st. Wife - He married Annis Harbison abt. 1767
2nd wife - Unknown
3rd wife - Martitia (Letitia) Page

James Military records
James was in the militia in the colonial years. He also fought in the Revolutionary War.
He signed the Oath of Allegiance in Oct. 1777.

James Addair's Ferry.
William Tabor signed a petition for James Addair to open a ferry boat in 1791.

James owned several Plantations in Va. After James died His son (James Jr.) then took over his Estate.
After James Jr. died, in 1847 there was a lawsuit of, Summers VS Tunnell regarding the ESTATE OF JAMES ADDAIR JR.

James and Annis’s Children
James Jr. Adair born 1768; died March 24, 1845, Pulaski Co., Virginia. James Jr. never married.
Jane Adair born 1770; died February 10, 1835 Jackson Co., Alabama. She married John Kirby, son of Richard Kirby and Sarah Small.
Thomas Adair born abt. 1775; died abt. 1840 in Tennessee. He married Elizabeth (Betsy) Kirby abt. 1794, daughter of Richard Kirby and Sarah Small.

James And his unknown wives Children
Elizabeth Addair died before 1846
Sarah Addair died before 1846
John Addair died before 1846 (My G.G.G. Grandfather) His wife is unknown to me.
William Addair died before 1845
Marry Addair died before 1846
Susanne Addair born 1789, Montgomery Co., VA; died Oct. 02, 1845 in Pulaski Co. VA.

Henry was the brother of Massie Ann Wimmer; Mahala Wimmer; Elizabeth Schilling; Rosanna King; Nancy Burnett and 1 other; and Catharine King

Sarah was the sister of  Samuel Bartlett. 

Henry and Sarah were the parents of Joseph KING; Nancy Rachel Bartlett (KING); Eliza Vest (KING); Robert KING; Thomas KING and 2 others; Sarah T. KING and Reuben H. KING

Some family trees mistakenly call him Henry Robert King, but John King's will calls him Henry D. King.

Henry and Sarah Bartlett King are my 3rd great grandparents...

45. Olive King Bartlett #52ancestors #Generation 6

This next post is about Olivia King AKA Olive, Aka Oleva... Although no one seems to be sure of her name or her race she had many children and lived to a ripe old age. And while many people say that she looks Native American, the census bureau assures us she was white....

Born c. 1819 to John King in Floyd, Va., She married Leroy Garner Bartlett, was divorced by 1880, and was living with her daughter and son-in-law in 1900.

Olive King Bartlett is my 3rd great grandmother...

10. David J. Collins AKA Daniel #52ancestors #generation 4

David J. Collins married Martha Bartlett, the daughter of George Riley Bartlett and Nancy King. He was the son of John H. Collins and Catherine Poff Stump. John was Catherine's second husband and I am writing about him today because he is my great grandfather.

She 20 yo single w/f, b. & living in Floyd Co., VA, d/o George R. & Nancy Bartlett. Source: FCVA1894_0079. Register: 3. Page: 147.

Though his marriage record says David J. Collins, numerous documents have listed him as Daniel and this made tracking him down difficult. If not for the obituaries of the Floyd website I might never have known his real name or his marriage date. 

David married Martha at her father's home in Floyd, Virginia on September 13th, 1894. He was 23 and his bride was 20 years of age. The ceremony was performed by David Sumner.
