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 lists Sarah Seymour (1808-86) as wife of Elias Bentley, which matches the birth and death years of the claimed Sarah Bentley. The exact death date and the death place Pulaski are not stated; Pulaski appears only as the birthplace of the applicant. The record is consistent with the death year but does not support the full claim.
Matches: Entry 95050 lists Elias Bentley (1806-60) m. 1827 Sarah Seymour (1808-86), so a Sarah with birth year 1808 and death year 1886 appears in the lineage; The descendant, Helen B. Beadle Barnett, was born in Pulaski, N.Y., which fits the claimed place; The page was read from the image and is legible
Flags: The claim names her Sarah Bentley, but the record gives her maiden name as Seymour; Bentley is her married name, so this is probably a naming convention rather than a conflict
Limits: The record gives only the death year 1886, not the day or month, so 26 December 1886 is not confirmed; It does not give a death place for Sarah; Pulaski is only the birthplace of a descendant; It is a compiled lineage book (DAR application abstract), not an original death record; It does not say that the Sarah Seymour here is the same person as the Sarah Bentley in the database, though the dates match
