The page lists Sarah, b. 2 Sept. 1808, d. 26 Dec. 1886, as a daughter of Joel Seymour who married Elias Bentley in 1829. Her years match 1808–1886 and the married name Bentley is supported. This is a compiled genealogy, so it is good evidence of the name but not a primary record.
Matches: Entry v. under Joel Seymour (118) is Sarah, b. 2 Sept. 1808; d. 26 Dec. 1886, matching the 1808–1886 lifespan; She married 1 Jan. 1829 Elias Bentley of Pulaski, N.Y., which explains the married surname Bentley; The given name Sarah and the married surname Bentley both fit the claimed name
Limits: The claim is only a name; the book gives birth name Sarah Seymour and marries her to Bentley, so 'Sarah Bentley' is her married name, not stated as such; Only a birth day and month and year are given, with no birthplace; the claim gives only years, so the match rests on the year range; Compiled published genealogy, not an original record; Her surname Seymour is inferred from the heading as daughter of Joel Seymour, not stated on her own line
