Yep Don, these are the ones connected to the 1st. batch or bunch of TRENT'S who moved westward from Chesterfield/Henrico.... the ones connected to then OLD William(#2) Trent (Jr.) & Susannah "Sarah" (Bryant) of VA. The one of course which Barbara Marsh always called Williamson(#1).....
They had seven children and while their Alex. & Wm. were old enough, more then old enough to be traveling with them and we are pretty sure based on records that they were..... THE ONES IN these lists that have always concerned me are the Z. (Zachariah) and Alex....THEY did not have a son that we know of?, who was named Zachariah so is this one the presumed son of our old Alex.(b.ca.1726)....? IF SO, then is the Alex. of 1785, three yrs. after his "injuries" at the Siege of Savannah our Alex.(Jr.) (b.1759)....? OR IS that one the son of William/Williamson(#1) and Sarah?
IF not so, in regards to the listed Alex., then the ? to be answered is WHO is the Zachariah of the earlier yrs. in these lists? Would an "older" son of Alex.(Sr.) (b.ca.1726) have traveled with this group of TRENT'S and either went back and forth to central VA or sent word back and so after "healing up" his brother, our Alex(Jr.) (b.1759) traveled west and becomes the one in the Wythe Co., VA Tax list with the one horse...?
TO ME THAT is FAR TOO MUCH speculation!!, since we can track this family group pretty close to the areas and times..... I believe that ALL of these are SONS of theirs since they are recorded there in SWVA and are on petitions for new counties, land, etc.... TO ME that ONLY LEAVES the Z. Trent as to WHO he is.......?????
Certainly the William in this bunch is NOT the future Wm. Trent of Grayson Co., VA & East TN, neither is the Alexander in this bunch our future Alexander(Jr.) of Grayson Co., VA & East TN.
Unless there is a "CLUE" in the DNA trail that we/I have missed, this family is "separate" from the real William(#1) (Sr.) & Ursulla Trent of VA that we know about.
These are all children of Williamson(#1) & Sarah with perhaps the "exception" of Zachariah and I believe that WE cannot insert old Wm. Trent(Sr.) - husband of Charity (Burton) (Osborne?) Trent into these listings!!
