My grandmothers father was Edmund Bentley and lived in Sandgate with his first wife, Mary Conger and she was Nellies mother. Nellie had two other sisters, Myrtle (myrtie) May Bentley and Orpha Jane Bentley who were born on Sept 6, 1874 (Nellie) and June 20, 1880 (Orpha Jane). They also had a brother named Henry Adelbert Bentley born on Nov 28, 1882. I believe your great grandfather lived with Mary Conger Bentley Varney and her second husband Henry Varney in Essex County (Keesville NY) Please contact me if you see this. I have been serching for Nellie for SO Long.
