I have seen both Gent & Brown used as her surname but not sure what is correct.Francis Peake did come to KY in same Catholic Migration as Rodolphus so it is possible.

He and his wife Dorothy (surname unknown) had ten known children. Three of these were known to have been born in St. Mary's County37: Mary Ann (b. Apr. 22, 1768, birth registered at St. Andrew's Church), Mary (bap. Aug. 25, 1771, at St. Francis Xavier, with John Bowls, Jr., and Monica Norris as sponsors), and Thomas (bap. June 27, 1773, at St. Francis Xavier, with John Low and Sarah Reily as sponsors). Some of the others10 may have been born in Kentucky: Bibiana, Jane, Susanna, Wilfred, Richard, Enoch, and William. Rodolph and Dorothy Norris were godparents to three of the children of his brother Ignatius Norris and Lucy Pike. Rodolph Norris was listed along with Francis Peake among the sixty members of the League of Catholic Families which began moving to Nelson County in 1785. Rodolph wrote his will on Apr. 9, 1812, and it was probated Feb. 21, 1814 (see copy in Section D of Appendix10). In it he mentions all his children except Thomas, who may have died or stayed behind in St. Mary's County. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jerry L.
