All data on this branch of the Atwell family is from Mary Elinor (Allen) Crigler, R 1 Box 117, St Joseph LA 71366. Her NSDAR supplemental application was submitted 12 Sep 1986, member #630333; this was not approved. Her principal source was "The Atwell Family of Loudon County" by R R Bennet, Leesburg VA, published in a Leesburg newspaper.
Note: According to "The Register of Overwharton Parrish, Stafford Co, VA 1723-1758 & Sundry Historical & Genealogical Notes" compiled & published by George Harrison Sanford King, Fredricksburg, VA 1961, p 11, "There were two Brent families in Stafford County which have been the subject of genealogies by Mr. Chester Horton Brent: The Descendants of Col. Giles Brent, Capt. George Brent and Robert Brent, Gent. [1946], and The Descendants of Hugh Brent [1936].
The former is supplemented by Dr. George Mason Graham Stafford in his work, General George Mason Graham [1947]." Mr. King goes on to note "It is an error in The Descendants of Hugh Brent, page 59, where it is stated that Anne Brent (1737-1802) married Hugh Atwell. She married on November 14, 1762 Thomas Atwell, Gentleman, (1737-1788) of Prince William County, Virginia and both of their last wills and Testaments remain of record in Prince William County. [1]
