I am new to the Amelia County list and need some help on an ancestor fr om Amelia Co. Jeremiah Bentley my 5th great grandfather was a revolutiona ry war soldier. He stated in his pension application that he escaped fr om a ship where he was held prisoner and went home to Amelia Co. VA. Is an yone else working on this family? He was born 1 My 1759 and died in 18 41 in Lawrence Co. TN. He was married at least twice. The name of his fir st wife is unknown. She would have been the mother of his children. He mar ried a second time between 1818 and 1821 to Hannah ?.
I got this off of rootsweb world connect. You probably already have it because it lists many of your own posts on the him as well.
