Don't know if he got this from him cousin who was also an avid
genealogist, or from a book. But we have had several unattached Georges
and Marthas listed, so I'll post it with a warning that we don't know
the source, so don't know if it's any good.
I believe that John Dent was the son of George Dent (b1764) and Nancy
Hurley Caton, whose marriage is listed in the Rowan Co bonds on line. I
haven't gone anywhere to prove it, as they are not directly related to
my lot. George is the son of Charles Caton and Jemima Summers. His
middle name Dent lends credence to the notion that Jemima's grandmother
was Rebecca Dent - that middle name is in Charles' will.
