ISHAM was born there in 1844 and was in Montague CO, TX by 1900. I believe his father ANDREW BENTLEY came from Union CO, SC and was married in Blount Co in 1835. I'm still sorting out who Andrew's father was. I haven't found a GA connection yet, but it wouldn't surprise me--looks like I'm descended from several very large, very Southern families! Let me know if I can be of further help. Caroline Byrd
