Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 2/4, tier compiled.
The Lineage Book entry for No. 95050 (Helen B. Beadle Barnett) lists Elias Bentley (1806-60) m. 1827 Sarah Seymour. This matches the claimed death year of 1860. It gives no exact date and no place of death, so the November 28 date and Sandy Creek location need another source. Because it is a compiled DAR lineage, it is only consistent with the claim.
Matches: Elias Bentley appears in the lineage for No. 95050, with dates (1806-60), so a death year of 1860 is consistent with the claim; Elias Bentley is shown as the son of John Bentley and the father of Mary Frances Bentley (1838-95), which fits a Pulaski/Oswego County, N.Y. family; The page is a readable image of the printed book
Limits: The record gives only the years 1806-60, with no day or month, so it cannot confirm 28 November 1860; It does not name a death place, so Sandy Creek, Oswego County is not supported (Pulaski is the descendant's birthplace, and John Bentley died in Milton, N.Y.); This is a compiled, published lineage book based on applicant submissions, not an original death record; The page does not state that Elias was the one who died in 1860 beyond the dash notation (1806-60)
