Notes

Register of Maryland's Heraldic Families Vol 1: The earliest trace of this family name found in history is in the County of Durham, England, from whence it seems to have spread over the
adjacent county of Yorkshire, England, and gradually drifted southward to the counties of Lincoln, Leicester, and Gloucester, until it reached London.

The Dents of early Maryland are from Yorkshire. The name is of Latin origin, two well know Consuls of Rome, Denta & Dentatus, having settled in North Britton, one as early as 285 B.C. In the West Riding of Yorkshire, there is still in existence the town of Dent. The coat-Armor
of the Maryland Dents is, "Argent, on a bend sable, three losenges erminois".

Prominent among the early settlers in Lord Baltimore's palatinate of Maryland was Col. Thomas Dent, gentleman, who emigrated from Yorkshire England, in 1650, in company with his father-in-law, the Reverend William Wilkinson, who was the first Episcopal minister in the colonies. Col. Thomas Dent was one of the first justices of the County courts of St. Mary's County in 1659, and was high sheriff in 1654. By his will, probated April 21, 1676, he left the manor of Westbury to his eldest son William; to his sons Peter and George the "Gisborough" grant which was named after his birthplace in Yorkshire, Gisborough on the River Tees.
This land grant he received with others from the Lord Proprietor. His manor of Westbury was situated in the part of the original St. Mary's settlement in the heart of Charles County near the famous old town of Port Tobacco.

A few years after Thomas Dent came out, he sent for his brother, John Dent, who also received large grants of land.
The Manor of Westbury was acquired by him under the will of the Rev. William Wilkinson, his father-in-law.
About October 8, 1662, Mr. Dent and William Hatton, his brother-in-law, acquired by purchase a 900-acre tract on the north side of the Potomac River and the west side of Nanjemoy Creek, in Charles Co. Subsequently, by conveyance from Mr. Hatton, Mr. Dent became the sole owner of the entire property which was called "Guyther", but since variously spelled, the name of its first patentee. This land has proven an invaluable aid in connecting the later branches of the family with their common ancestor. The appraisement of Judge Dent's estate, May 19, 1676, attests that he maintained a plantation on the Nanjemoy land that he had there, indentured or redemptioner servants, slaves, crops, horses, cattle and hogs. At a later period, Col. William Dent, at his death probably the most outstanding personage in Maryland (oldest son of Judge Thomas Dent) lived on this plantation.

Based upon his transportation rights, a tract of 236 acres as patented to the two brothers-in-law, between whom there seemed to exist a bond of affection and intimacy and which probably led them to name their new acquisition, "The Brother's Joint Interest." Eventually Gisborough and the last mentioned tract passed into the possession of the Addisons. For many years a part of Gisborough, which can be plainly seen from the southern end of Potomac Park, was a popular excursion resort for Washingtonians and visitors to the Federal Capital, although its more recent use, the manufacture of munitions for the World War and its present use as a "flying field", are probably more in keeping with the spirit and habits of its adventurous first owner.
The ownership by Judge Dent of a 200-acre plantation called Wattfiels, which he purchased from the heirs of Richard Watson, who was also from Yorkshire, supplies another valuable link in the family chain, because it is through conveyances of this land that Barbara Dent, unnamed in his will and born after his death, is identified as his daughter and as the last wife of the Hon. Thomas Brooke.

CHARLES COUNTY GENTRY By Harry Wright Newman
Book. (1940). 2002, 5

Noted Maryland genealogist Harry Wright Newman here presents the family histories of six Charles County, Maryland pioneers: Thomas Dent, John Dent, Richard Edelen, John Hanson, George Newman, and Humphrey Warren. All were from distinguished armorial families in England prior to settling in Charles County in the 17th century. Newman traces each family as far as possible, in some cases into the 20th century and indicates if and when the family left the area. Well documented, with an index to 2,000 persons.

"Fresh from the Inns of London where he read Law, Thomas Dent upon his arrival soon established himself as a lawyer and sought quarters on Barristers' Row in the then flourishing village of St. Mary's.Cecilius, Lord Baltimore, granted him 50 acres of land with the town's limits on Aldermansbury Street which he called 'The Lawyer's Lodging.'His mariage to the young daughter of the Anglican clergyman soon occurred..."

He was quite active politically, being Magistrate of the County Court in 1661, then Justice of the Quorum, Shrievalty of the County in 1664, High sheriff in 1667, elected to Lower House of the Assembly in1669, 1674 and later years. He also acquired large tracts of land by purchase, inheritance, and by transporting people, including"Gisborough" (850 acres in present Washington, D.C.), Guyther (900acres on Nanjemoy Creek of the Potomac), Wattfield (200 acres near Portobacco Clifts), part of Westbury Manor (1250 acres). He died at age 42 leaving a pregnant wife and 5 children, the eldest about 16 years old. The widow soon married Capt (later Colonel) John Addison."
