Footnotes
1. There is often confusion about which of Benjamin Young's daughters married Robert Brent. A few sources like Henning and Downing identify Eleanor, while most point to Mary. An October 23, 1802 New York newspaper announced the marriage of Nelly Young to Thomas Fenwick in Washington, D.C., which confirms the genealogy in sources like Papenfuse and Morgan. However, a March 30, 1816 newspaper reported the death of Mary Fenwick, wife of Thomas Fenwick. Both Robert Brent and Thomas Fenwick appear in an 1820 tax list as heirs of Benjamin Young. See Ancestry.com, "U.S. Newspaper Extractions from the Northeast, 1704-1930" [database on-line]. (Provo, UT: 2014) and National Intelligencer, January 25, 1820. [back]
