Barbara Dent was the daughter of Thomas Dent of St. Mary's County and Rebecca Wilkinson, daughter of the Rev. William Wilkinson. Barbara Dent was born in 1676, after her father's death, and is therefore not named in his will, but her mother conveys land to trustees for her benefit, 20 Nov 1676, and this deed is confirmed, 6 Jun 1704, by Barbara's mother and the latter's second husband, Col. John Addison (Charles Co., Lib. 21, fol. 116, 121). In the deed of confirmation it is recited that Barbara "is now married to the Hon. Thomas Brooke Esq."
The marriage took place before 4 Jan 1699, when Col. Thomas Brooke and Barbara his wife execute a deed together (Pr. Geo. Co., Lib. A., fol. 210).
The will of Col. Thomas Brooke is dated 30 Nov 1730, and was proved 25 Jan 1730/1. His wife Barbara survived him, and died in 1754. Her will, dated 24 Feb 1748/9, was proved 26 Jun 1754. Several of Col. Brooke's children are not mentioned in his will, but were provided for by deeds executed in their father's life time.
