Hi George,
Well, beginning with John.I assume you mean John Bentley, husband of Judith Cobbs.John did not mention any children in his will, but he is about the right age to be the father of Daniel.
William.I assume you mean William Weldon Bentley.By his first wife Judith Archer he had 3 sons but all 3 died in early manhood living no children.His only son by his 2nd marriage, Dr. Henry Moss, b. 1807 was born after the birth of Jeremiah so that rules him out.
That leaves Daniel Bentley, b. 1743 in North Farnham Parish, Richmond County, as the only other possiblity.Since Jeremiah was living in Amelia County, Virginia at the time he signed up as a soldier in the Revolutionary War, and since William Weldon and his brother Peter Efford Bentley were also in Amelia County at this time
(Daniel Bentley b. 1743 and Daniel Bentley, father of Peter Efford and William Weldon were both from North Farnam Parish, Richmond County) my best guess is that Daniel b. 1743 is the father of Jeremiah.There needs to be more proof of this but this seems to be where the little evidence that I have points to.
I would love to hear your input and what leaves you to believe as you do.Do you have more evidence than I?
