Dear List,


I'm sharing Carol Wyatt's findings with this list concerning land
records, because of the consistant appearance of George Dent in
relation to the properties Clarke's Purchase and Clarke's Inheritance.


I do not know if The wife of John Clarke who has not been identified
as yet other than her 1st name of Anne or Ann is possibly a Dent by
maiden name. but the findings are making me consider it more.


Just wonder if George Dent may just be acting in some government
capacity rather than a relationship, but it is worth looking into
this, in case George Dent was the brother or Father of Ann ? the
wife of John Clarke.
