Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): supports, confidence 4/4, tier record.
The image of the 1900 census (Milton Town, Saratoga, NY, ED 119, sheet 6) shows Norman Bentley at line 64 as Head, born Mar 1831, age 69, married, and a farmer. This matches the claimed residence, occupation, marital status and relationship. The citation's ED and page also match the image.
Matches: Line 64: "Bentley Norman", Head, white male, born Mar 1831, age 69, married 42 years; Occupation: Farmer, matching the claim; Marital status: married (M), matching the claim; Relation to head: Head, matching the claim; Place: Milton Town, Saratoga County, New York, enumeration district 119, sheet 6, matching the citation detail; Birth month and year (Mar 1831) fit the claimed 1831 birth year; Wife Emily M. (b. July 1833) is in the household
Limits: The middle initial "S" is not clearly legible in the handwritten entry; the name reads as Norman with a flourish; The census gives residence in June 1900 only, so it cannot show the claimed 1901 death date
