I have no information on a Jonathan Senter, except that which I picked up in
the 1790 Census for Edgefield County, SC, which says there were three
Senters in the census, they are as follows:
96th District, Edgefield County:
William Senter, 1, 3, 2.meaning, 16 & up, including head of household-male
1; under 16, male, 3, Free White Females 2.
Sam Senter, 2, 3, 2 meaning, 16 & up, including head of household-male 2;
under 16, male, 3; and 2 Free White Females.
Jonathan Senter, 3, 0, 1, meaning: 16 & up-male 3, none under sixteen, male;
and 1 Free White Female.
I have been curious about the Abner Centre, in the 96th District of
Greenville County, listed in this census: Abner Centre, 1, 2, 2: meaning,
1 male over 16 including head of household; 2 male under sixteen; and 2 free
females.
If there is a relationship between any of the above mentioned men, to the
Major Nathan Center, d. 1783, Camden District, S. C., I haven't a clue.
Perhaps, if the Virginia records could be researched or any histories or
genealogies of the Edgefield County, it might prove out. It is worth
looking into.
Incidentally, in the Virginia records I found an Abner Centern, in some
literature. It was interesting spelling, also, found online a variant
spelling in some Scotch Irish records, Centerval.

Then you are saying that Nathan Center might have been a brother to
Jonathan
Sentell of Edgefield Co SC? Remeber that Senter, Sentell & Center
are
interchangeable and intertwining names.
