- The the Brent of Gloucestershire and Warwickshire were descended form the Somersetshire family is clearly indicated in several ways, but the Woodstock genealogy is the authority for the statement that the ancestor who came from Somerset in 1487 or thereabouts was named Robert, that he was the son of Robert and Margaret, and the brother of John Brent who married Maud Poucefoot. The will of this John Brent does not mention a brother Robert nor does his father's will mention a son Robert. Collinson does not refer to this son Robert, but he does not give all the descendants, as may be seen in the case of the will of John Brent, above mentioned. A note to the Oxfordshire pedigree indicates the connection between Sir Nathaniel Brent and the Cossington family, which is corroborated by his published biography, and his father, Ancar Brent is shown by the wills of William Brent and his brother Nicholas to have been their cousin, though in what degree it does not appear. The dates of their deaths are not inconsistent with the account given in the Woodstock genealogy. There are some discrepancies, however, which indicate that the Woodstock genealogy is an independent account, perhaps derived from more ancient sources, and that its author was not acquainted with the Illmington inscription. Anthony A. Wood, the historian of Oxford University, states that Sir Nathaniel Brent was the son of Anchor [Ancar] Brent of Little Woolford in Warwickshire, a younger son of Richard Brent, gentleman, eldest son of John Brent of the house of Cossington in Somersetshire. He also mentions a William Brent, whose great grandfather, William Brent, of Stoke Lark, in Gloucestershire, was younger brother to Richard Brent, grandfather to Sir Nathaniel Brent. The William Brent first mentioned above was evidently the son of Richard Brent and Elizabeth Reed.

- The Brents of Stoke have had a place of burial here since the coming of their ancestor out of Somersetshire about the year 1487 by the concealed name of John Buston, who married Margery, daughter of George Colchester, then of Stoke and Admington, Esq., about the year 1498 and died 1531.
- Their son 'William Brent Lord of Stoke and Admington dyed 1595 with Elizabeth his wife here buried'.
