This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Trent, Burton Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XeB.2ACE/3195.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: David, some, all, or none of this may be true, but just how do you propose to rearrange the "mothers" and the family lineage lines to reflect this data? Samuel Trent is NOT a son (blood) or (half-) or out of wedlock a son of the mother of James B. O. Trent. Now since it has been proposed and I have had in my document, from the TN folks that Alex.(Jr.) had a son named James Trent, maybe James Alex. Trent, maybe there is more confusion here then we need. The orlginal James "Sop" Trent, who I guess we can assume was md. to the Catherine "Cathy" Templeton of TN, would be a brother to Samuel, but I am NOT prepared to re-arrange the child of Wm. D. (Sr.) and Alex.(Jr.) at this time, not based on this Hawkins document.
