I know of no Buck Tavern in Prince George's County (there is a Buck Lodge . ..). However, I find no citation of John Dent in Prince George's County in the 1790 or 1800 census, though there was a John Dent in Charles County at that time. And an Eleanor Dent remeains in Charles County in the 1810 and 1820 census. So my guess is that Buck Tavern was in Charles County, and that they may have lived just briefly at some other place in Prince George's County. Good luck with yur search!
