Renee, June and Denise, We're working on all those connections pertaining to EMMONS and McCONCHIE. Here is contribution from Shirley Middleton Moller and Linda Reno that really opened some doors for me when I first started researching the line of Alexander McConchie who had wife Ann and ends up in Fauquier Co. I want to show a KEY piece here. Alexander McConchie and Lott Hackley did the 1785 estate of inventory of Robert Knox. Robert Knox's widow Rose had UNCLE Col. Richard Harrison who married 1st Dorothy Hanson and 2nd widow Elizabeth [Dent] Penn of William Penn. It was the daughter Elizabeth Harrison of Col. Richard Harrison and wife Elizabeth who married 1st JOHN KNOX, 2nd GEORGE DENT [widower of Rose], 3rd ENOCH BROWN. Here is an old post from CC MD list. I'm adding my comments in BOLD.

It seems to cover what Amanda is talking about. Shirley Middleton Moller Charles County Gentry : A Genealogical History of Six Emigrants, Thomas Dent, John Dent, Richard Edelen, John Hanson, George Newman, Humphrey Warren, all scions of armorial families of old England who settled in Charles County, Maryland, and their descendants showing migrations to the South and West Washington D.C.; Newman, Harry Wright, 1940, 335 pgs. The will of the bachelor son, Judge Warren Dent, [He was brother of George Dent. Their parents were William Dent and Ann Warren.]was probated in Charles Co., on Dec 3, 1794. He named his nieces Eleanor Bowie, Jannet Dent, and Mrs. Anne Harrison. All property from the estate of his late sister, Grace Harrison, he left to his nephew William Dent Harrison, and nieces Anne Warren Harrison and Rebecca Harrison. He devised "Blue Plains" which he purchased from John Maddox []to his nephew Robert Hanson Harrison, and the plantation where Samuel Ratcliffe lived to his niece Mrs. Anne Harrison. The residue was devised to his brother George whom he named as executor. On Oct 14 1782, George Dent was granted letters of administration on the estate of Elizabeth Harrison, late of Charles Co., [This was the wife of Col. Richard Harrison who was UNCLE of Rose who married 1st Robert Knox and 2nd George Dent. This Col. Richard Harrison and wife Elizabeth had the daughter Elizabeth Harrison who married 1st JOHN KNOX, 2nd GEORGE DENT [after Rose ahd died] and 3rd ENOCH BROWN ]with Thomas Hanson Marshall and Dr. John Parnham as bondsman. [These are the land records that I have copies of and below Alexander McConchie had wife Ann. Alexander McConchie and Ann had only son "ROBERT" whose daughter Ann McConchie m. JAMES S/ EMMONS who had brothers Daniel Emmons and Fountain Emmons.] On Nov 28, 1794, George Dent of Charles Co., conveyed land to Thomas Dotey, of Fauquier Co., VA. On Nov 30, 1796, George Dent and Elizabeth his wife, and William Dent and Jenet his wife all of Fauquier Co., VA., conveyed 84 acres of land to Alexander McConchie, of Fauquier Co. Consequently sometime before 1794 George Dent settled in Fauquier Co., VA. On Mar 24, 1797, he conveyed "Chosen" and "Huckleberry Plains Enlarged" to John Colby, of Charles Co., MD. No wife waived dower. On Jan 7, 1798, he deeded "Warren's Discovery" to Robert Cain of Charles Co. No wife waived dower. A few months later he conveyed "Hatton's Point" to John Maddox, and on Nov 10, 1801, he transferred another portion of "Warren's Discovery" to William Thomas of St. Mary's Co. [He may be the husband for below "ANN THOMAS" who was daughter of GEORGE DENT. Ann in later record seems to have remarried a SAMUEL HANSON.] George Dent died shortly after this conveyance, inasmuch as on Mar 25, 1802, "Elizabeth Dent widow of George Dent of William late of Fauquier Co., VA., deceased", deeded to William Thomas, of St. Mary's Co., land in William and Mary Parish, Charles Co., that had been granted to Bridget Legate on May 1, 1676. The inventory of personal estate of George Dent in Charles Co., was filed at court on Aug 10, 1802, by his administrator William Dent, and displayed a value of $4648.50. The distribution of his estate in Charles Co., was made on May 31, 1803, and divided among the following representatives: William Dent, Anne Thomas, Elizabeth Knox, John Shumate, and Janet his wife, Rebecca Dent and Grace Dent. The inventory of his personal estate was not taken in Fauquier Co., until Jul 2, 1803, and was appraised at A3982.2.6. It was signed by John Hooe and Stanton Slaughter. His widow on Oct 19, 1804, married Enoch J. Brown, according to a license issued in Fauquier Co. , Va. On Aug 12, 1816, William Dent, Janet Dent, Rebecca Dent, and Samuel Hanson and Anne his wife, [I think this was Anne who was married in above records to a Thomas]all of Charles Co., and described as heirs of George Dent, deceased, deeded "Brawner's Chance" to Catherine Norris, Henry Speake, and Leo Speake, all of Charles Co. ----- Original Message ----- From: cpzb4@aol.com To: mdcharle@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, June 14, 2007 9:48 PM Subject: Re: [MDCHARLE] George and William Dent Source: John K.

His son, William is her guardian. William married Janet Knox. As you'll note, Robert Knox is one of the securities--he's Robert Dade Knox, brother of Janet. George Dent was the son of William Dent and Ann Warren. He married first, Rose Townshend Dade and second, Elizabeth Harrison. Rose Townshend Dade had been married previously to Robert Knox and she was the mother of Janet Knox and Robert Dade Knox. In other words, William Dent married his stepsister. Linda Reno Alexander McConchie and wife Ann MNU had grandson Robert King McConchie m. Elizabeth Stigler. Robert King McConchie was BROTHER of Ann McConchie who married James S. Emmons. I think the JAMES EMMONS who bought land from William Dent, wife Janet and George Dent and wife Elizabeth was JAMES EMMONS whose will probated 29 Nov. 1839.
