Looks like we have some fictional Henry Trents in the tree, who are numbered 1, 2, and 3.
Henry Trent, of Varina Parish is real, but it looks like 1 and 2 are not. According to the notes on 3’s profile: “He is considered by most researchers to be the immigrant ancestor of the Trent line. The earliest mention of Henry Trent in Virginia records is 1673, when he claimed headrights to 200 acres on the James River in Henrico County for bringing himself and three other people to Virginia.” Most sources give his birthdate as about 1642 and disagree on whether he came from Scotland or Staffordshire England. His will was recorded in 1701.
I can’t find documents for any other immigrants named Henry Trent. His father and grandfather look like duplicates with different details.
The father:
Henry Trent, Jr. The only note that isn’t about his “son” came from https://www.genealogy.com/forum/surnames/topics/trent/6345/ which talks about a Henry Trent II living in Manakintown who may be the father of Henry Trent III. But the Manakintown Henry Trent was recorded in 1744, which is much too late to be this guy. It says that Henry Trent II was born in 1676, which is the birthdate for Henry Trent, Il He’s the son of Henry Trent the immigrant who was born around 1642. The Manakintown Henry was apparently the grandson of 1642 Henry, not his father. In the genealogy.com scheme of things, Henry I must be Henry the immigrant born 1642, who is labeled as Henry III on Geni.
You can see the 1744 Manikintown census here: http://sites.rootsweb.com/~vacfrede/Huguenot%20Emmigration.pdf Henry the grandson of Henry the Immigrant is listed on page 114 of the document.
The grandfather:
Henri Trent, Sr. has a lot of profile notes but they have no substance.
These 3 generations of Henry’s have enough integrity that they don’t look like carbon copies of each other except for the dates. But I haven’t found any relevant documentation for the first two, and zero indication that three generations of Henry Trents immigrated to Virginia. It's possible that Henry the Immigrant's father and grandfather were named Henry, but they probably never left England (or Scotland as the case may be).
