Good morning,

You can also add to the note below that I posted some time ago, that
Anastasia Peake (married William Norris) and Mary Ann Peake (married Thomas
Norris), were sisters of Dorothy Peake.

William Norris and Thomas Norris were the sons of John Norris and Mary
Wheatley and they were the 1st cousins of Rodolphus Norris, son of Thomas
Norris and Jane Greenwell.

Also add that I've never found anyone here by the name of Gent. There were
folks named Gant, but they lived in Prince George's Co.
