Transcription and reasoning
Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): supports, confidence 3/4, tier compiled.
The page, legible in the image, lists "Mary Frances Bentley (1838-95)" in the lineage of Mrs. Helen B. Beadle Barnett (95050) and Miss Cynthia H. Beadle (95051). The name and years match the claim. It is a secondary compilation, so confidence is 3 rather than 4.
Matches: Lineage Book NSDAR p. 19, entries 95050 and 95051 name "Mary Frances Bentley (1838-95)"; Her dates 1838-95 match the claimed 1838–1895; Shown as wife of Alfred N. Beadle (b. 1837), m. 1865, and daughter of Elias Bentley (1806-60) and Sarah Seymour, descended from John Bentley
Limits: Compiled lineage book from DAR applicant statements, not an original vital record; Gives only birth and death years, not full dates or places, for Mary Frances; Supports the name and life span only; the lineage is the applicants' own claim
