She is the first woman in the English colonies to do so. A Catholic, she had emigrated to Maryland from England with her sister and brothers, from whom she acquired 1,000 acres. As a major landowner, Brent serves herself and others as an attorney and frequently appears before the Maryland General Assembly. As he lies dying, Maryland’s governor, Leonard Calvert, asks Brent to oversee the selling of his estate to pay the colony’s militia.
