Marilyn, On this Bentley family, I only have Mary Elizabeth Bentley who married James Henderson Muckleroy, and her parents, Whitmil Littlefield Bentley and his wife Margaret Elizabeth Hamil. I have no info on the parents other than their names. Mary was born 28 Dec 1847 in Melrose, Nacogdoches Co. She married James Muckleroy 18 Dec 1868 in Martinsville, Nacogdoches Co. She died 30 Aug 1915 in Martinsville. I'm not descended from this line, so I haven't done very much research in this direction. James Henderson Muckleroy is a half-brother of my G-grandfather Robert Muckleroy. I hope this helps a little. Allen :-) Allen M.
