Does anyone have documentation to link Aaron Senter (or Center) to his birth parents, Henry Senter and Rebecca Avant (Avent)?

Aaron was born ca 1793 in Smyth Co, VA; he died ca 1833 in Smyth Co, VA; he married Elizabeth Baker b 1801 in Washington Co VA. She married second Robert Cook.
Aaron and Elizabeth had 5 children: James, Martha Jane, William Tilson, Mary Ann Rebecca and Andrew.

There are stories in most references I can find for this family stating that there was a feud of some kind between Aaron and
the rest of his family supposedly making him mad enough to change the spelling of his surname to Center instead of Senter. I have
never found a document for him using Center. But, then, I have found very few documents for him!

If you can help with this problem, I would be most grateful.
