Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 3/4, tier record.
The DAR Lineage Book page (p. 125) is legible and entry 95380 is for Mrs. Mary W. Bentley Wood, born in Brooklyn, N.Y., with Bentley as her maiden name via Norman S. Bentley. The name matches the claim. The page gives no dates for her, so the 1861–1938 life span is neither confirmed nor contradicted.
Matches: Entry no. 95380 reads "Mrs. Mary W. Bentley Wood", which includes the name Mary W. Bentley; She is born in Brooklyn, N.Y., wife of George S. Wood, and a descendant of John Bentley; Her line runs through Norman S. Bentley (1831-1901), so Bentley is her maiden surname
Limits: The entry gives no birth or death year for Mary herself, so the 1861–1938 dates are not confirmed; The name claim only needs Mary W. Bentley, but the record gives her married name Mary W. Bentley Wood; The entry does not give the full middle name; Linking this entry to the person in the database depends on matching the dates and parents elsewhere, since the entry only gives Brooklyn birth and a father's name (Norman S. Bentley)
