The image shows the DAR Lineage Book, p. 19, entry 95050. Line 2 of the lineage reads "Elias Bentley (1806-60) m. 1827 Sarah Seymour (1808-86)." This states the 1827 marriage and the life years of both spouses. Sarah's surname in the record is Seymour, which is her maiden name, so the claim's "Sarah Bentley" is her married name. The source is compiled, so confidence stops short of the top level.
Matches: Entry 95050 (Mrs. Helen B. Beadle Barnett) lineage line 2 reads "Elias Bentley (1806-60) m. 1827 Sarah Seymour (1808-86)"; Birth and death years 1806–1860 for Elias and 1808–1886 for Sarah match the claim; Marriage year 1827 is stated explicitly; Elias is shown as the son of John Bentley and the father of Mary Frances Bentley (1838-95), so he sits in the right family
Flags: The record gives Sarah's surname as Seymour, while the claim lists her as Sarah Bentley. This is her married name versus maiden name, so it is not a real conflict, but her maiden name should be recorded as Seymour.
Limits: A DAR lineage book is a compiled secondary source, not an original marriage record; It gives only the year 1827, with no exact date or place of marriage; It gives only birth and death years, not full dates
