EFSM, Vol. VII:
Corrections and additions from Brice M. Clagett, Friendship, MD: Page 77 - Mr. Clagett rightly points out that there is no proof the wife of Benjamin Berry was the widow of Baruch Williams. The 1697 will of Thomas Hilleary left personal estate of Baruch Williams not just to dau. Mary Berry but also to dau. Elizabeth Lyfoot which would be puzzling if Mary was his widow; when Benjamin Berry d. in 1719, his wife was named

Per Early Colonial Settlers: "The date of Mary's marriage to Giles Brent appears unrecorded. In May of 1679, Mary secured only the second judicial separation recorded in Virginia on the grounds of cruelty. Following Brent's death, she married Francis Hammersley. (C.H. Brent.)^6,1"

From Find a Grave:
Colonel Giles Brent II
Birth     5 Apr 1652, Stafford County, Virginia, USA
Death     2 Sep 1679 (aged 27), Middlesex County, Virginia, USA
Burial     Christ Church Cemetery, Christchurch, Middlesex County, Virginia, USA
     He was the son of the immigrant Giles Brent and his first wife Mary, who was born a Piscataway indian, then adopted by Margaret Brent. He was born at Retirement, the Stafford County estate established by his father. He married his cousin Mary, the daughter of George Brent and his first wife Marianna Peyton.
     In the summer of 1675, peace was broken in that part of Virginia. Grizzly and violent indian wars were undertaken by local tribes. They were quickly followed the bloody rebellion of Nathaniel Bacon who was denounced by Gov. Berkeley as a traitor. Capt. Giles Brent commanded the Troop of the Horse, defending the Virginians. To many volunteers, the fighting came to be out of control. As individuals of that day, many were not willing to risk their life or health. Late in 1677 they began to desert the then Col. Brent in the field.
     In May, 1679 Mary Brent procured a judicial separation from her husband, Giles Brent because of cruelty. This was the second such action recorded in Virginia. This fierce warrior retreated to land previously owned by his aunt Margaret where he died at the age of 27. He had appointed his father-in-law as guardian of his estate.
His children were, Margaret; Mary; Giles b. ca 1670 d. 1694; and William. The son Giles married Jane Chandler, daughter of Col. William Chandler.

Thomas and Susannah Gerard had 11,000 acres from Lord Baltimore known as St. Clement's Manor and St. Clement's Island in 1638-1639. Thomas was involved in the uprising in St. Marys Co, MD and left to settle on lands in Westmoreland County, Virginia, where he died.
Jan and List: Below is an interesting account of a suburban type lifestyle that Thomas GERRARD, John WASHINGTON, and other MD ex-patriots lived in VA. "The Englishmen on the banks of the Potomac mingled elegant pleasures with rude labors and perilous enterprises. There is a record of a contract in 1670 between John LEE, son of Col. Richard LEE, then deceased, Henry CORBIN, Isaac ALLERTON, and Dr. Thomas GERRARD, for building a banqueting house at or near their respective lands. The English colonist acted as far as the circumstances would permit, precisely as he would in London. It was a rare thing if the richer settlers did not visit the mother country once during the year...
Among those who resided in the "suburban" area (Westmoreland Co. VA) above Machodic, at Nomini Creek, were: Walter BRODHURST, Edmund BRENT, Nicholas SPENCER, Valentine PEYTON, Maj. John HALLOWES(HOLLIS), Above Nomini resided at Appomattox Creek (now Mattox) Col. John WASHINGTON, his father-in-law, Col. Nathaniel POPE, William BUTLER, the minister, and Andrew MONROE, who lived in Maryland, in 1643. Still further upthe river, beyond Nomini, were Samuel HAYWARD, Col. Giles BRENT, and his famous sister, Margaret BRENT, at "Peace" on Acquia Creek. Other settlers were Capt. John ASHTON, Capt. John LORD, brother of Rich'd LORD, of Hartford, New England; Capt. William HARDWICH, a tailor from Maryland, brother-in-law of Mrs. WASHINGTON; Thomas STURMAN, of Maryland; Daniel HUTT, formerly of London; John ROSIER, minister, Anthony BRIDGES, Capt. George MASON (born in 1629), John HILLILER, Capt. Thomas EWELL, Col. Gerrard FOWKE, Col. Thomas SPEKE, Capt. William PIERCE, Capt. John APPLETON, Col. Tomas BLAGG, Capt. Alexander BAINHAM, Col. John DODMAN, Lewis MARKHAM, Clement SPELMAN, William BROWNE, of Plymouth, Daniel LISSON, Robert VAULX, and Capt. Thomas and William BALDRIDGE.

The Rebellion known as Bacon's Rebellion had it's beginnings in 1675 and was ended early in 1677 in Virginia, however, the year of the actual conflict was in 1676. Sometimes referred to as the precursor to the American Revolution, it is ironic that it was exactly 100 years before a rebellion would be launched that succeeded in independence from Great Britain. Listed below are the names of over 100 individuals who took part in the Rebellion. There are, without a doubt, many hundreds not listed herein. * Notes individuals executed for their participation in Bacon's Rebellion.

Per Encyclopedia Virginia:
     [Quote]Giles Brent was a participant in Bacon’s Rebellion (1676–1677). A Catholic of both Indian and English heritage, he learned the Indian language from his mother, inherited all of his father’s land, and became a prosperous young planter and militia captain. In July 1675 Brent served in a party that killed several Doeg Indians in retaliation for the Indians’ having killed some white Virginians. He joined forces loyal to Nathaniel Bacon in order to battle the Pamunkey and collaborated with Bacon until the rebel leader turned his forces against the governor, Sir William Berkeley, in 1676 and laid siege to Jamestown. Brent then gathered approximately 1,000 men to confront Bacon’s forces. When the men learned that Bacon had burned Jamestown, they deserted Brent. He died in Middlesex County on September 2, 1679.
     rent was born about April 5, 1652, probably near Aquia Creek in the portion of Northumberland County that became Westmoreland County in 1653 and Stafford County in 1664. His parents were Giles Brent (1600–1672) and Mary Brent, the daughter of a tayac, or emperor, of the Piscataway. A Catholic of both Indian and English heritage, Brent was an anomaly in seventeenth-century Virginia, and like others in his strong-minded family he frequently provoked controversy.
     Brent’s father had a remarkable career before arriving in Virginia. The younger son of a prominent Gloucestershire family, he had migrated to Maryland in 1638 with three siblings. His Catholicism, affluence, and education led to his quick attainment of positions of authority, such as member of the assembly, councillor, and chief militia officer on Kent Island. More often than not the Brents opposed proprietary prerogatives, both in protection of their own interests and in rallying dissident groups against the Calverts. Despite earlier conflicts Lord Baltimore appointed him acting governor in April 1643. An ardent Royalist, the elder Giles Brent antagonized Protestant supporters of Parliament and helped set off an uprising in the colony before being dismissed from office and transported to England in 1645. After obtaining his freedom he returned to Maryland and was briefly reinstated as a councillor. A final break with the Calverts prompted Brent and his equally influential sister Margaret Brent to move to Virginia about 1649 and settle near Aquia Creek. Giles Brent married the orphaned daughter of a Piscataway leader who had been raised by Margaret Brent and Jesuit missionaries who had converted her and her father to Christianity. If he had hoped that the marriage would secure him a claim to Indian lands and that he could promote her right of succession to her father’s title, he was disappointed on both counts. Despite legislation restricting the rights of Catholics and occasional complaints about Catholic influence, the Brent family prospered in Virginia. The senior Brent became a militia officer, and his nephew George Brent (b. ca. 1640) held several responsible public offices in the Northern Neck.
     Giles Brent dwelt in two worlds. He learned the Indian language from his mother, but after his father’s death early in 1672, he inherited all of his father’s extensive landed estate and became a prosperous young planter and a captain in the militia. In 1674 Brent became a local collector of the tobacco export tax. His primary importance in Virginia history arises from his involvement in Bacon’s Rebellion. In July 1675, as Captain Brent, he served in a party commanded by George Mason (1629–1686) and George Brent that pursued a contingent of Doeg Indians into Maryland and killed several of them in retaliation for the Indians’ having killed some Virginians. Bacon’s Rebellion grew from that episode and other clashes on Virginia’s frontier. Vague references in some of the surviving records of the struggle have resulted in confusion concerning the roles of Giles Brent and his cousin, George Brent. Giles Brent definitely joined forces loyal to Nathaniel Bacon in order to battle the Pamunkey and other tribes. Referred to during those weeks as Colonel Brent, he collaborated with Bacon until the rebel leader turned his forces against the governor, Sir William Berkeley, in the autumn of 1676 and laid siege to Jamestown. Brent then turned against Bacon and gathered approximately 1,000 men to confront Bacon’s forces. When the men learned that Bacon had burned Jamestown, however, they quickly lost heart and deserted Brent, whose role in the conflict then ended.
     Brent’s last conflicts were domestic in nature. Just as his fiery temperament had led him to confront the neighboring Indians, it began to threaten members of his own household, which consisted of a wife, whose name is unknown, and at least two sons and two daughters. In May 1679 Brent’s wife petitioned the governor and Council for protection and a separate maintenance, an action that the prominent Northern Neck attorney William Fitzhugh described as unprecedented in Virginia. The court records are lost, but according to Fitzhugh the petition graphically described Brent’s “inhumane usage” of his wife. The Council ordered Brent to live apart from her and “to allow her a Maintenance, according to his Quali[ty] & Estate.” A later attorney who examined the court papers before they were destroyed concluded that Brent was “a terrible fellow.” Before any further proceedings in the case could take place, Giles Brent died in Middlesex County on September 2, 1679. He may have converted from Catholicism to the Church of England, because his death was recorded in the register of Christ Church Parish and he was buried in the cemetery of that Anglican church in Middlesex County.

Note:
This branch of the family were Catholics and were in constant trouble with the authorities on account of their failure to attend upon the services of the Established Church of England. The family of Brent divided at this time in their religious adherence the same as the Horsley-London branches of the Horsley family of Pershall. In the Royalist papers (State Papers, Domestic, G 72, pages 231, 276 and 285) appears the following:-January 25, 1654-5. Order for search to be made in the old books as to the sequestration of the manor of Larkstoke, Co. Gloucester, for the Recusancy of Richard Brent the elder, deceased, or of Foulke Brent, Richard Brent the younger, Edward Brent, George Brent, Anne Brent and Jane Brent, children of said Richard Brent the elder...When the children were summoned to take the [loyalty] oath there appeared only Mrs Anne Brent and she refused to take it. The estate was therefore continued under sequestration, all of them being known papists. Dated at Gloucestor May 10, 1653. It was an important fact in our family history that this branch of the Brent family were Roman Catholics and the friends of the Calverts and the Lords Baltimore." (Pearsalls Page 994-996)

     Giles Brent III was born circa 1671 at Stafford Co., Virginia, USA;
From Early Colonial Settlers:
Dates can only be conjectured.

His death is believed to have been in January or February, 1693-94*.

*Dates for this period are generally Old Style, as the new Gregorian calendar, which had been introduced to the Roman Catholic world in the 1580s, would not come into official use in the British empire until 1752. The two calendars were out of sync by about eleven days. The new Gregorian calendar marked the New Year on January 1, while the old Julian calendar marked the New Year on March 25. Colonial documents during this interval period would often hyphenate the year in the period between January and March, so that February 10 would be written as February 10, 1693-94.^1,2 He married Jane Chandler in 1691 at Stafford Co., Virginia, USA,

     Mary Kittamaguund was born in 1625 at Piscattaway, St. Mary's Co., Maryland, USA.¹ She married Col Giles Brent, son of Richard Brent and Elizabeth Reade, in 1637 at Piscattaway, St. Mary's Co., Maryland, USA,
; His 1st of 2 wives.^1,3,4
Mary Kittamaguund died after 1680 at Stafford Co., Virginia, USA.¹
      ;
From Wikipedia:
     [Quote]Mary Kittamaquund (c. 1634 – c. 1654 or 1700) was a Piscataway woman who played a role in the establishment of the Maryland colony. The daughter of the Piscataway chieftain Kittamaquund, she was sent by her father as an adoptee to be raised by the English governor. Her life helped establish peaceful relations between English immigrants to the Maryland and Virginia colonies and their native peoples.
Life
     After Jesuit missionary Rev. Andrew White healed his son in 1639, Kittamaquund converted his family to the Catholic faith.[1] Two years later, he sent his seven-year-old daughter, renamed Mary at her baptism, to be raised by Governor Leonard Calvert[2][3][4] and by Margaret Brent. Kittamaquund wanted the English colony's leaders to educate Mary so she could communicate between the two cultures, and solicit their help against hostile tribes.[5] The Mary Ward society was founded on the pattern of the Society of Jesus, and pioneered in the area of apostolic congregations of sisters.[6]
Maryland
     Trading, the lust for land, and religious conflicts, including the religious wars resuming in England, shaped Mary Kittamaquund's life. In late 1644, in Governor Calvert's absence, Margaret Brent had allowed her 38-year-old brother Giles to marry Mary Kittamaquund, though she was just 10 or 11 years old at the time.[7] Years later, Leonard Calvert's cousin George Talbot, while negotiating with William Penn about lands claimed by both Maryland and Pennsylvania, stated, "Capt Brent who in right of his wife the Piscataway Emperors daughter and only Child pretended a right to the most part of Maryland but could doe noe good on't after a great bustle about it."[6]
     According to various reports. Calvert was either in England with his brother soliciting support for the Maryland colony, or collecting debts and hiring soldiers in Virginia to protect it. In any event, during his absence, on February 14, 1645, raiders led by Protestant sea captain and merchant Richard Ingle and his ally Virginia fur trader William Claiborne burned the Catholic chapel and other buildings at St. Mary's City and tried to destroy the new colony. The previous year, during Governor Calvert's absence, Giles Brent had briefly jailed Ingle for treason against King Charles I. When Ingle returned, he carried letters of marque and reprisal against the king's supporters issued by the Protestant Parliament. The Ingle/Claiborne raiders also raided and burned houses of Catholic settlers on Kent Island, which had begun competing with Claiborne's former post there (which burned down in 1631 but had been rebuilt) and another of his posts at Palmer's Island. In April, Ingle and Claiborne sailed back to England with both Jesuit priests, the provincial secretary and Giles Brent all as captives and in chains.[8]
     Between December 1646 and April 1647, Governor Calvert's forces finally managed to repel the invaders (which reduced the Maryland colony from approximately 500 to 600 settlers to about 100 English).[6] However, Calvert then fell ill and died on June 9, 1647. He had named Margaret Brent his executor, and told her to settle matters. In order to pay the mercenaries to go back across the Potomac River to Virginia, she sold Calvert's cattle. When Calvert's brother Lord Baltimore later learned this, he was upset, probably not realizing the danger his colony had faced. At some time during this period, chief Kittamaquund died, and Giles Brent (who had been freed in England and returned to Maryland) claimed all the Piscataway lands as Mary's husband.[9] This violated Piscataway tribal customs and also conflicted with Lord Baltimore's land grant, which had given rise to the English colony in the first place.[10][11] Moreover, Claiborne's erstwhile Susquehannock trading partners took their furs to the new Swedish trading post at Fort Christina.[12]
Virginia
     Nevertheless, Giles and young Mary stayed together, moving to Chopawamsic Island in the Potomac River in 1647, then the following year to the Colony of Virginia in what is now the Northern Neck near Aquia, Virginia.[13] Giles set up a trading post, shortly after the third Anglo-Powhatan War, and ultimately a plantation named Retirement. His sisters Margaret and Mary later joined them and lived at Giles' first Virginia plantation, named Peace, in what became Stafford, Virginia.[14]
Genealogy
     Mary Kittamaquund was the daughter of Kittamaquund, Tayac of the Piscataway (Paramount Chief of the Piscataway Tribes) and Mary Piscataway (Kittamaquund).
     Three children are named in the 1663 and 1671 wills of Giles Brent and his sister Margaret. Margaret Brent appointed her brother Giles “and his children Giles (Jr) Brent, Mary Brent, and Richard Brent” executors of her estate. Giles left bequests to his son Giles (Jr) Brent and daughter Mary Brent (Fitzherbert). Dr. Lois Green Carr, Maryland Historian at the Maryland State Archives, left a note card in her files which identify six children of Mary and Giles, including a daughter Katherine. Giles (Jr) Brent married his cousin Mary Brent. Mary Brent married John Fitzherbert. Richard Brent died after December 26, 1663. The two other children named by Lois Carr, Henry and Margaret, presumably died young. Authors of recent DNA studies of Marsham and Beaven descendants appear to support speculation that Katherine married Richard Marsham, and Mary subsequently married Charles Beaven.[15]
Lost and forgotten
     No records exist concerning Mary Kittamaquund's death, although in 1654 Giles Brent married Frances Whitegreave Harrison, who had emigrated from England to York County, Virginia, the previous year and had been wife of the recently deceased Dr. Jeremiah Harrison. Thus it is unclear whether Mary died as a young woman (childbirth deaths being common), or whether she left Giles and resumed her (matrilineal) Native American identity, or he divorced her as discussed below. In any event, Giles and Frances either had two or no children.[16] The last wills and testaments of Giles (d. 1671) and Margaret (d. 1663) mention Giles' six children "of which four lived," but not his wife Mary.[17] Giles' other quasi-monastic sister Mary died in 1658.[18]
     If Mary Kittamaquund left or outlived Giles Sr. and returned to become a Piscataway matriarch, she could have moved to Brent lands in Maryland. St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church (Newport, Maryland) has a Brent family graveyard, as well as a section for burials now unknown, although the church itself was built two centuries after Kittamaquund's contact. Another more modern Catholic church near the Brent family's lands in Pomonkey, Maryland (named for another related tribe) and near Port Tobacco which became the Charles County, Maryland, county seat and a major slave trading port until it silted up also has a graveyard.
     Mary also could have moved further north, for her tribe traded throughout the Chesapeake Bay region, even though it was decimated by war and disease in this era. While the oldest, continuous, English-speaking, Catholic congregation in the United States is St. Francis Xavier in St. Mary's, Maryland (which replaced its chapel in 1660 and is relatively close to Newport though not Port Tobacco), the second oldest is St. Francis Xavier Church (Warwick, Maryland) in Cecil County, Maryland. This other important trading area near the Elk Neck Peninsula allowed trade with Iroquois-speaking Susquehannocks who had a settlement near Conowingo, as well as with Delaware Valley and Delmarva Peninsula tribes (including the Algonquian-speaking Lenape and Nanticoke). Swedes established a trading post, Fort Christina, at the top of the Elk Neck peninsula near the shortest route between the Chesapeake and Delaware basins. St. Mary Anne's Episcopal Church (in northeast Maryland not far from Warwick) was founded during the early Colonial era as some of Mary's Algonquian-speaking Piscataway sold their land in Charles and St. Georges counties and moved north.
Black Sheep Son
     In May 1679, Mary Kittamaquund Brent – or more probably another Mary Brent (perhaps born in Worcestershire, England, around 1650)[19] – received the first legal marital separation in Virginia. The governor and Executive Council of Virginia issued it on the grounds of her husband's "inhumane usage", but the underlying documents are lost. Mary Kittamaquund's son, Giles Brent Jr. (ca. 1652–1679) had been arrested in 1677 for his actions in Bacon's Rebellion, especially for killing friendly Doeg Indians and (with his neighbor and friend George Mason II and about 30 militiamen) taking their land (part of which later became George Washington's estate Mount Vernon).[20][21][22] Because Giles Brent had laid down his arms and joined Lord Berkeley's forces, he was not hanged like many other rebels.[23] However, Giles' half-Native ancestry could have caused problems both with the rebels (some of whom wanted to kill all Indians) and with racist elements in Berkeley's faction. In any event, shortly following his divorce from Mary Brent, Giles Brent married Frances Hammersley (b. 1660 and death date unknown) of Middlesex County, but he then died within a few months.[24] His father had patented claims for 1800 acres in his name, which had been across from the Piscataway town and later became part of Alexandria, Virginia.
Virginia's hidden Catholics
     Although the English-born Brent women never married or had children, the Brents became the only publicly Catholic family in Virginia for more than a century.[25] Mary Kittamaquund supposedly lived with Mary Brent and Margaret Brent. Rumors persisted of a Catholic church, monastery or retreat house in the area long before St. Mary's Church was founded in Alexandria, Virginia, in 1795 by George Washington's aide, Col. John Fitzgerald.[26] Brent men continued as merchants and lawyers, and also owned and operated plantations and a quarry near the Occoquan River's junction with the Potomac. George Brent (d. 1694) became the only Catholic delegate in the House of Burgesses in colonial times (representing Stafford County in 1688),[27] and in 1686 received title with three London partners to 30,000 acres later known as Brent town where Catholics could legally practice their religion.[28] As anti-Catholicism grew in Virginia – both paralleling developments in the mother country as well as reflecting local conflicts with French and Spanish fur traders and their Native American allies – Brents held no further governmental positions outside their local community for nearly a century. Moreover, George Brent was forced to take cover at his law partner's house for five months in 1688 over false rumors that he was conspiring with Indians about an uprising.[29] Nonetheless, neighbors in what became Spotsylvania County, Stafford County, Fairfax County and Alexandria, Virginia, seem to have spared successive generations of lawyer Brents from the required anti-Catholic oath. Around the time of the American Revolution, William Brent and Richard Brent married the sisters of John Carroll, a Jesuit before the brief suppression of that order, and who himself became the first native Catholic bishop in what became the United States. William Brent and Richard Brent became revolutionaries and Founding Fathers, though less noticed than Marylanders Charles Carroll and Daniel Carroll (whose first wife was William Brent's daughter Anna). In 1780, subject to an elaborate but incomplete prenuptial agreement, their 50-year-old maiden sister Sarah Brent became the second wife of George Mason, who worked to establish religious freedom in Virginia and the new nation.[30]
Erased past
     British raiders burned Brent family estates during the American Revolutionary War and War of 1812.[31] Thus, they may have sustained more damage than their revolutionary Protestant neighbors. William Brent and Robert Brent became public servants in Washington, D.C., shortly after its founding (and at least one wrote and recorded a will to manumit his slave and allow him to retain his freedom without leaving the area, not having a large estate).
     However, the Virginia Brents eventually became strong supporters of slavery and the Confederacy. They developed Brentsville, Virginia, in western Prince William County in the 1820s. Alexandria sent lawyer George William Brent (1821-1872) to the Virginia Convention of 1861, at which he argued for union in order to support slavery. During the Civil War, Union troops secured a gun emplacement on Brent property overlooking the Potomac River near Aquia creek, and vandalized the nearby Brent family graveyard, removing brass name plates. Brentsville also sustained more damage than surrounding properties during that war.

Quoting from "They Called Stafford Home; The Development of Stafford County, Virginia, from 1600 until 1865", by Jerrilyn Eby, Heritage Books, 1997:

In another chapter, the same book devotes several pages to some earlier Brents. I summarize below.
Giles Brent founded the first permanent settlement in Stafford. He had first emigrated from Somersetshire to Kent Island, MD in 1637, and married a twelve-year old Indian princess named Kittamaquad. (Her father, Emperor of the Piscataways, had sent her to Giles' sister Margaret to learn English when he converted to Christianity.)
