North America, Family Histories, 1500-2000

Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 2/4, tier compiled.
The DAR Lineage Book page 19 (No. 95050) lists Elias Bentley (1806-60) m. 1827 Sarah Seymour (1808-86). The 1808–1886 dates match the claimed person, whose surname Bentley would be her married name. The page does not give the exact birth date or the birthplace, so it supports only the birth year.
Matches: Page 19 gives Elias Bentley (1806-60) m. 1827 Sarah Seymour (1808-86), so the 1808 birth year and 1886 death year match the claimed 1808–1886 lifespan; Sarah's husband Elias Bentley and father-in-law John Bentley fit a Bentley family line
Flags: The record names her Sarah Seymour, not Sarah Bentley. This is plausibly her married name, but the database name should be checked against it.
Limits: The record gives only birth and death years (1808-86), not the day and month, so it cannot confirm 2 September 1808; The record gives no birthplace for Sarah, so Stillwater, Saratoga County, NY is not addressed. The only places given are Pulaski, NY (the applicant's birth) and Milton, NY (John Bentley's death); This is a compiled lineage book (DAR), not an original record, and the Sarah entry is a brief line in an applicant's lineage; Seymour is her maiden name, so the claim that she is 'Sarah Bentley' reflects her married name
