I am not a genealogist, but I am a sentimental historical geographer of the Sycamore Creek Basin of Middle Tennessee. Charles Gent was a early settler in the Sycamore Creek Basin. The land he purchased was adjacent to that of James Hudgins who was one of my ancestors. Can someone tell how Thomas Gent may have been related to Charles?
Here are some notes I have made
CHARLES GENT (GA) of Washington County, Georgia was born about 1752 and died in Robertson County, Tennessee in 1844 (124- ). He was a private in the Georgia Line in the Revolutionary War. In 1815 he
purchased 640 acres of land, contained in the North Carolina grant 3407 to Robert Weakley, from William and Jipi Gainer. In 1829 Charles bought 12 1/2 acres from John and Lucretia Perry.
Charles began to divide his land among his children in 1821. That year he sold 10 acres on the east side of Spring Creek to James Maxey and James Sanders for $27. Next he deeded 125 + acres to Zachariah Gent. He deeded 125+ acres to his grandson, Thomas Gent, along with a negro girl named Matilda in April 1822. In December 1823 Charles deeded 88 acres on Spring Creek to J.C. Sanders and a negro named Richard who was about 4 or 5 years old to Catherine Gent Sanders (5-R-160). At the same time he deeded 101 acres to his daughter, Ailsey who was married to Holloway Hudgins. He also deeded a negro boy named Palmetto to her. And to Margaret “Peggy” Gent Harris he
deeded 100 acres.
