Notes for HENRY TRENT:
Henry Trent owned land on Tomahawk Creek in Chesterfield County until 1796, when he sold that land and moved to the Falling River area of Campell County. Henry Trent Sr. and Henry Trent Jr. appear on personal property lists in Chesterfield until 1795. Each appear on the Campbell County list in 1802, the first time a Henry Trent appears there.
Henry's wife is identified as Sarah in Chesterfield and Campbell County deeds. By some accounts, her last name was Powell. The only evidence I've found for this is the appearance of Powells as witnesses on several deeds involving Henry Trent.
Besides a son identified as Henry Jr., tax lists indicate Henry had two other sons, Benjamin and John, though this is less than certain. Henry also had at least one daughter, Priscilla who married Josiah Daniel in Campbell County.
