Notes

When Capt George Brent claimed 584 acres in 1677 in Stafford County, Virginia, among the headrights were listed himself and other Brents, along with John Fitzherbert (husband of his niece) and Dorothy Fitzherbert. Also listed was an often overlooked individual named Richard Netherton.

Richard Netherton was a native of the same small town in England as George Brent himself, where both their fathers had been residents. Richard Netherton (chr. 23 Nov. 1645 Defford) can be found in Maryland during the 1670s with 50 acres called "Nethertons Beginning" (in St. Mary's Hundred), St. Mary's County. By 1677 though, he had come with the Brent and Fitzherbert clan to Stafford County, Virginia. His granddaughter Elizabeth Netherton (d. 16 Aug. 1737) was even buried in St. Paul's churchyard in Stafford County with her husband, architect William Walker (d. 15 Feb. 1748/9), whom she had married in the same parish on 23 Nov. 1731.
