HiSharon.No, this isn't the James Martin Bentley I am looking for.The James Martin Bentley I am looking for enlisted in Alexander Co., NC, for Confederate service.James Martin Bentley, b. July 1824, (wife Tabitha Baker) was originally from Alexander Co. and then moved his family to Yancy Co. NC.In the birth order of his 9 known children there is a gap between son David H. born 1860 Yancy Co. and the next child John Wesley Bentley born 1864 thus indicating a possiblility James martin Bentley may have been away from home in the war, possibly having gone back to Alexander Co. to enlist with other friends and family.After the war James Martin Bentley moved his family abt 1880 to Letcher Co., KY, where he died; and where wife Tabitha died 1n 1910.
