Michelle, you made my day with your post!Thanks so much for this information.In one of your posts you said James Bentley was a cousin of Benjamin Bentley, they having entered Civil War service together.Now that complicates things for we were thinking James and Benjamin were brothers, and sons of Moses Bentley Sr. (d. 1827) of Burke Co., NC.As for Moses Bentley who married Mary Lorance I strongly feel he ties into Moses Sr's family or that of his father Benjamin Bentley who died 1839 in Wilkes Co., NC.Care to venture a guess?Has it been verified for fact that Moses Bentley (Mary Lorance) was definitely born in Mecklenburg Co., NC?
