This articles does contain one error, stating that Thomas Brent died during the winter of 1858-9. That seems to be about the time Mrs Brent died, while Thomas Brent is believed to have died about 1847. Very recently, it has been established that Thomas Brent's son and daughter did not die in Michigan as Edward C. Parker suggested, but moved to Buffalo, NY, after the last of the Brent land in Michigan was sold.
