Don, I'm surprised and mystified.There is some confusion somewhere.Like you, I've thought that Powhatan Green Trent was a sonof William and Catherine (Webber) Trent, based on the papers of Grady Garrett, the Richmond newspaper reporter who was also a descendant of William and Catherine.He did a great deal of research on the family in the 1940s and 1950s and his papers are housed in the Rlue Ridge Regional Library branch in Bassett, Virginia.
He does say that Powhatan was called "Green" and that he was born 31 March 1820 and was living in Rock Mills, AL in 1870.He also states that Powhatan Green married Matilda Stewart.This is clearly the individual you reference.Yet the Cause states that "P. G. Trent lives at Rock Mill AL"(1872) and he is listed among heirs of Glover M. Trent.
But, according to Grady Garrett, Glover M. Trent was born in Campbell Co., VA, 3 Oct. 1813 and this agrees with the inscription on his gravestone.He would only have been six years old when the 1870 AL Powhatan Green Trent was born.
Glover M. Trent did have a son named Powhatan Green Trent, according to Grady Garrett, but he was born around 1846.He was listed among the children in Glover's household on the 1860 Henry Co., VA census.
These two Powhatan Green Trents must be different individuals.
Regarding William B. Trent, son of William and Catherine, his middle name was "Bailey" according to Grady Garrett and Henry G. Trent, a living descendant of this William B. Trent who participated in our Y-DNA project.
What do you think?Could Green L. Trent be Green P. Trent possibly?
