Entry 118 v lists Sarah, b. 2 Sept. 1808, d. 26 Dec. 1886, m. 1 Jan. 1829 Elias Bentley of Pulaski, N.Y. This states the death date and fits the person (Bentley, b. 1808). The death place is not given, so the Pulaski, Oswego County place is only inferred from her husband's residence. The date is supported, the place is not.
Matches: Sarah, daughter of Joel Seymour, b. 2 Sept. 1808, is stated as d. 26 Dec. 1886; She married 1 Jan. 1829 Elias Bentley of Pulaski, N.Y., matching the surname Bentley and the Pulaski connection; Death date 26 December 1886 and birth year 1808 match the claim
Limits: The book gives no place of death for Sarah; Pulaski is only the residence of her husband Elias Bentley; Claimed death place Pulaski, Oswego County is therefore not stated; Published compiled genealogy, not an original death record; Identification of the claimed Sarah Bentley with this Sarah Seymour rests on the name, birth year and husband's residence
What it supports
- Died · 26 December 1886 · Pulaski, Oswego County, New York, United States of America — Sarah Bentley
