Robert Brent
Robert Brent (1764 – September 7, 1819) was the first mayor of Washington, D.C., the federal capital of the United States of America. Brent was born into a prominent Catholic family, for which the Brent Society is named.〔Mike Flach, "Fr. Gould Receives Brent Award", ''Catholic Herald'' (Arlington, VA) 5/26/10, http://catholicherald.com/stories/Fr-Gould-receives-Brent-Award,13047 . Accessed August 16, 2013.〕 The family lived in Woodstock, which was then in Stafford County, Virginia. His mother was Ann Carroll, whose brother John Carroll was the first Catholic Bishop appointed for the United States. Brent's father was a contractor and quarry owner.
==History==
In 1789 Brent married Mary Young — the daughter of Notley Young, a plantation owner in Prince George's County, Maryland. The couple resided on the Young family property after their marriage, and a few years later, Young's property was among those annexed by the Federal government for the new national capital, making Brent one of the first residents of the newly created Washington City. He soon took over his father's businesses, selling sandstone to the U.S. government for the White House, U.S. Capitol, and other early construction projects in the District of Columbia and thereby becoming one of the capital's most prominent merchants.
