    Notes for URSILLA ? (WIFE OF WILLIAM TRENT):
    Notes for URSILLA:
    No marriage nor will records prove Ursilla's maiden name. Based on indirect evidence, she may have been Ursilla Branch, daughter of Samuel Branch.

    Barbara R. Marsh, a descendent of William Trent, notes that the Branches and Trents were already closely associated by marriage.

    -- William Trent's aunt, Ann Sherman, married Ursilla's uncle, Christopher Branch.
    -- William Trent's brother, Henry, married Edith Harris, Ursilla's first cousin once-removed.
    -- Another of William's brother, Alexander, married Obedience Branch, Ursilla's first cousin.

    Ursilla Branch was under 21 when her father died in 1700. Based on court records, Marsh estimates Ursilla would have been 17 or 18 in 1709, the year William and Ursilla Trent were probably married.
