  1. 1.  Bent Peter was born in Apr 1629 in Penton-Grafton, County of Southampton, England; died in Apr 1678 in England.

    Notes:

    From "The Bent Family in America" Allen Bent 1900:

    "Peter Bent (John1) was b. in Penton-Gragton, Eng., in April, 1629, and d. in England, whither he seems to have gone on business, in May, 1678 aged 49. He was but nine years old when he accompanied his father to America. At or before the incorporation in 1660 of Marlboro', which was carved out of the wilderness to the west of Sudbury, he had moved thither. He and his father were among the thirteen who petitioned the Colony in 1656 for the laying out of the town. He built a grist mill on Stony Brook, in what is now the town of Southboro', and became a busy
    man. In 1661 he contracted to build a bridge across the Sudbury rived 'for horse and man and laden cart to pass over.' More than once he went to England, no small undertaking in those days. He had build his house
    just south of Williams Pond, a mile of more from the present center of Marlboro'. We commend his good judgement on the selection of a site. Here his little family was growing up when suddenly the Indians, stirred up by the animosities of the Narragansett chief, King Phillip, swopped down upon the growing town, one Sunday morning (March 26, 1676), while the good people were at church, applied the fire-brand, and Marlboro' was no more. The November before, a small band of Indians crept up to Bent's mill and scalped his son (probably Zacheus, a lad of nine years) left him for dead -- he afterwards recovered -- and carried off one of his apprentices, Christopher Muchin. ... Two years after Marlboro' was burned by the Indians, Peter died. ... Peter left a widow Elizabeth (maiden name not ascertained), who was living in Sudbury in 1704, when she deeded to her elder son her widow's third of the Marlboro' property. A year after her husband's death she petitioned the Governor and Council for
    aid."

    Family/Spouse: Elizabeth. Elizabeth died after 1704. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Notes:

    It is unknown where Timothy and Hannah were married , but probably in Rutland, Worcester County, MA where she lived with her late husband before he drowned. Timothy owned property in Ware, given him by his father, Thomas. Timothy knew the Wrights well and was well aquainted with Hannah and her first husband, Cyprian Wright, who died by drowning in Muscopog Pond in Rutland in 1738. Cyprian's name was on a land deed of Thomas Brown.

    Hannah brought three children, of which two were minors, to this marriage; William, Samuel and John. John died by the age of 10 years.
    Timothy had to put up a surety bond for these children so he sold some land in Rutland to have money in trust for their care.

    Timothy died 3 Jan. 1770, preceding Hannah in death. She died of small pox in Swanzey, 1776.


    Early Worcester County, MA Probate Records:

    The administrators' account was dated 16 May 1745 and was submitted by Timothy Brown and Hannah Brown, formerly Hannah Wright.

    Abigail is most likely the daughter of Jonas Burke & Hannah Johnson of Stow. Although I can't prove the connection, following is the evidence:

    1. Stow and Concord are very close and I have found no other Abigail
    Burkes in the area.
    2. Abigail was b. Oct. 4 1721 so she would have been 22 when Aaron and
    Abigail married.

    with a Thomas Brown, probably Aaron's grandfather
