North America, Family Histories, 1500-2000

Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 2/4, tier compiled.
The page shows entries 95050 and 95051, both listing 'Mary Frances Bentley (1838-95)' as wife of Alfred N. Beadle, m. 1865. The 1838 birth year is consistent with the claim, but it is a year only and comes from a compiled lineage book, not an original record. It supports the birth year 1838 at the level of compiled evidence.
Matches: Lineage Book page 19 (entries 95050 and 95051) lists Mary Frances Bentley (1838-95), wife of Alfred N. Beadle, m. 1865; The birth year 1838 matches the claim, and the death year 1895 matches the claim's range; She is placed in the Bentley line: Elias Bentley (1806-60) m. Sarah Seymour, and John Bentley (1755-1833) of Albany County, NY
Limits: The record gives only a year range (1838-95), not a full birth date or birthplace; This is a compiled DAR lineage book, a secondary source based on applicant-submitted lineages; Mary Frances Bentley appears only as an ancestor of the applicants; the entry does not show which parts of the dates are birth or death, beyond the standard (b-d) convention; Her parents are not named directly in the entry, only inferred from the lineage chain
