from Kathy Popovich

MRS. MARY MOORE DENTON.


62370
Born in Tioga, Pa .
Wife of Elmer A. Denton .
Descendant of Thomas Keeney and of Grean Bentley .
Daughter of John T. Moore (1840-1910) and Fanny Bentley (b. 1849), his wife,
m. 1867.
Granddaughter of Elisha T . Bentley (1821-98) and Almira Mitchell (1829-97),
his wife, m. 1845 .
Gr-granddaughter of Thomas Keeney Mitchell (1799-1862) and Elizabeth Ann
Roe (1809-87), his wife, m. 1824 ; Benjamin Bentley and Jane Otterson, his
wife .
Gr-gr-granddaughter of Richard Mitchell (1769-1845) and Ruby Keeney (1771-
1842), his wife, m. 1792 ; Grean Bentley and Dinah Straight, his wife .
Gr-gr-gr-granddaughteri of Thomas Keeney and Mercy Lamb (1748-1839), his
wife, m. 1769.
Thomas Keeney (1751-1840) served as private in the Connecticut
troops under Captain Bissell and Colonel Pitkin . He was a pensioner
in 1832 . He was born in Connecticut ; died in Chemung,
N. Y.
Grean Bentley (1741-1823) served in Hawthorn's regiment ; also Captain
Bailey's company, Colonel Wisner's regiment, New York
militia, Northumberland County, Pa . He was born in East Greenwich,
R . I . ; died in Havana, N . Y.

With two wives, Benjamin fathered 15 children, some who died early (6)

As with his brother Green Bentley, Jr., Benjamin seemed  to have his conflicts with the Wellsburg Baptist Church:  “1803 December th 3rd 3 ly Rec’d an accusation by Elder Goff against Brother Benjamin Bently for gitting in a pation and thretening to whip Daniel Ripenbarck and Chalenging Adam Ripenbarck to fight.”  

Further minutes of the Church showed he regained favor:


“February the 7th 1801 3ly Voted that Brother Benjamin Bently Should take charge of the Church Store

April the 18th 1801 4ly that Brother Benjamin Bently shuld be Set apart for a Decon of this Church.”   

But then it appears he got in trouble again:

 “1803 December th 3rd 1803  Rec’d an accusation by Elder Goff against Brother Benjamin Bently for gitting in a pation and thretening to whip Daniel Ripenbarck and Chalenging Adam Ripenbarck to fight.”

“January the 14th 1804 ly took into consideration the case of brother Benjamin Bently and found him gilty of a breach of covenant and Neglect to hear the church for which --?-- the Church is under gospel obligation to with Draw the hand of felowship from him.”     (6, 17)

Elaine Cowan:  “IF THIS IS BENJAMIN, son of Greene Sr and Dinah Bently, it sounds as though he was disenchanted with the Baptist church—or at least with the administration of that church at Wellsburg.


However, a granddaughter says he was always a Baptist and, apparently, in 1813 he started a Baptist church in his new home in Tioga Twp, PA.”

Cowan:  “THE TIOGA CHURCHES.


Baptist Church.--(Furnished by Rev. S. D. Merrick.)
One the 24th of April 1813 a few Christian people assembled at the house of Benjamin Bentley in Tioga (at that time almost an unbroken wilderness) for the purpose of organizing a religious conference, with a view of ultimately becoming a regular Baptist church

Cowan adds this info on her website: TIOGA TOWNSHIP AND BOROUGH. By Henry H. Goodrich. Sketches of the Pioneers


....Major Bentley always took an active part in church affairs. He united with the Baptists at Chemung, Elder Goff pastor, and brought a letter, as did his wife Mary, from the church thereto to those of the same faith at Tioga, where a complete church organization was formed in 1816. Before this event, however, his wife Mary died, September 14th 1815, and was buried in the old Bentley graveyard. April 19th 1816 he married Jane Otterson. A granddaughter of Major Bentley says of him:

"He was a man of sterling integrity, indefatigable perseverance, and a pure, conscientious Christian. In creed he was a Baptist, as were his ancestors as far back as there is any record. He was a lover of justice and honor, and fond of improvement and progress.”

1800  ---Green Bentley, Jr .(now abt age 22) listed as head of household in  Newtown, Tioga Co., NY with one male age 45 and older, one female 16-26, and one female age 45 and older.  But---Green Jr. and wife Olive (m 1798) were abt age 22. Who were the male and females listed age 45 and older and why was Green Jr listed on Census but his age range not checked off?

Living next to him was Benjamin Bentley—one male under 10, one male 26-45, one male over 45, one female under 10, one female 16-26

7.  RHODA (HERODIAS) BENTLEY TEEPLES

She is listed in the Kent Vital Records as being born as “Horad”  Jan 2, 1774  


in Kent, Litchfield Co. CT (6, 11)   Cowan lists her as Herodias.   It seems she was officially named for her grandmother Herodias Gardner Straight but the “Herod” became the nickname “Rhoda” which she seemed to go by.  

She d Jan 2,1837 in Oakland, MI. (6, 11) and was buried there as was her husband.

According to the Natasha Cottrell website
http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=natasha-cottrell&id=I15298
 Rhoda married Jacob Teeples in 1793 in Elmira, Chemung Co., NY.   Jacob was b May 12, 1763 in Tewksbury Twp., Hunterdon Co;, NJ. (7,11).  He died in abt 1831 in Oakland, MI (7), but Cottrell states he died in Rochester, NY and was buried in Oakland, MI.  

Or m. 1790

Jacob’s parents were George Teeples and Margaret Shippman.  Jacob was in the military in Northumberland PA  bet 1776-1781. (7)

In 1794, Jacob paid taxes in Elmira, Chemung Co, NY.  (7)  Cottrell lists 10 children b from 1794-1819, with births in 1794 and 1796 in Elmira; 1799 and 1803 in Town of Dansville, Livingston Co, NY; in 1805 in Leicester, Livingston Co, NY;  in 1807, 1811, 1812, 1819 in Rochester, Monroe Co., NY

George Bentley Teeples was b Mar 17, 1803 in Town of North Dansville, Livingston Co., NY (7)   This is where Robert H. Glover was born in 1946.  And next to South Dansville, Steuben Co., where Green Bentley, Jr.’s son George C. Bentley (nephew of Rhoda Bentley Teeples)  migrated and where his son George E. Bentley lived and was buried.  George E. buried in the same Forest Lawn Cemetery as Adelia Bently Burger and Corinne Burger Glover, the grandmother and mother of Robert H. Glover.   

George  m Huldah Clarinda Colby (b June 4, 1812 in Holland, Erie Co., NY)  in Oakland, MI Oct 1, 1828.  They had 10 children b 1830-1856 in Michigan, Missouri, Illinois and Utah.   On Sep 24, 1848 he moved to Salt Lake City, Utah according to the “Mormon Pioneer Overland Travel (1847-1868) (7).  The first Mormon pioneers arrived in the valley of Salt Lake City on July 24, 1847 so George was one of the first to settle there and as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS).  

On Feb 20,1856, George married Joanna Case Worden (b Feb 17, 1822 in Antwerp, Jefferson Co., NY) in Salt Lake City.  Since Huldah didn’t die until June 10, 1881 in Salt Lake City, they either divorced or George took a second wife which was common then in Utah.  George had 4 children with Joanna for a total of 14.  She had 7 children from her first marriage.  Joanna d May 5, 1900 in Vernal, Utah. (7)  Cottrell notes that Joanna d in 1902; and that at some point Geoge may have had a third wife, Polly Tibbets.

 George died Sep 18, 1884 in Holden, Utah and was buried there in City Cemetery according to the grave marker transcription by Marlin Criddle and the Oct 2, 1884 Deseret Evening News of Salt Lake City.

Much of the research on Green Bentley Teeples was by Marlin Glenn Criddle of Salt Lake City, Utah who is a primary source for this “Stories and History of the Bentley Families.”   He is an ancestor of Green Bentley Teeples

BENTLEY GREEN Jr. 11/10/1820 42y 10m 2d An excellent shale tombstone.
This death date yields a birth date of January 08, 1788, just what we have. Now we know where Greene Jr was buried, and that his son Ezekiel is buried in the same cemetery.
 (seems not the same as Bentley Cemetery, Veteran where marker of Green Sr)—also there son Ezekiel, Olive and Oliver Greeno
Millport Cemetery, Town of Veteran, Chemung Co.

On edge of Village of Millport, North of Co. Rt. 6A, and east of State Rt. 14

Located on the edge of the Village of Millport on "Cemetery Hill", North of County Route 6A and east of New York State Route 14.

NOTE:  This appears to not be the same location as the Bentley Cemetery in Veteran where his father Greene, Sr. was buried.  Bentley Cemetery is on the west side of the road north of Millport on Route 14; Millport Cemetery is to the east of Route 14 and north of 6A (which intersects with 14 in Millport).  Millport Cemeter is much bigger and appears to be still active.

tombstone photographed  9/3/07 by Shelly Glover:

Green, Jr. is in the very last row all the way to the left by the woods and just above a big drop off.  The shale stone is in good shape as the deep surrounding woods shield it from the weather.   The stone reads:

                                Green

                                Bentley, Jr.

                                    died

                                Nov 10. 1820

                                    2 D

                Thus he was born Jan 8, 1778.  Green, Jr. the father of George Cargill Bentley.

                

The transcription of his shale tombstone at Millport Cemetery reads:


                Bently, Green Jr.

            d. 10 Nov 1820 age 42y10m2d”


************************************

As with his father, “Green” at times was referred to as “Greene” for first name, and more often as “Bently” for last name.   Although his tombstone states Bently, we will go with Bentley as that is the spelling used by our more recent ancestors.

GREEN AND OLIVE

Green, Jr. married Olive Hopper in prob 1797 in prob. Millport.  She was born prob July 25, 1781*** in prob  Orange Co., NY  (or Litchfield, CT ) died Nov 14, 1862 in Millport, NY; buried (tombstone notes Olive Greeno) Nov 17, 1862 in Millport Cemetery .  DAR records for Viola Tripp Weber list her as b. in 1781.  Cowan as July 25, 1782: We have 25 Jul 1782 for Olive.

http://www.rootsweb.com/~srgp/clippings/1862elwa.htm

In the village of Millport, November 14, after an illness of a few days, Olive, wife of Oliver Greene, aged 81 years. The subject of the above was one of the first settlers of Chemung County, having lived on the same farm on which she died sixty-one years. The writer of this has often heard her relate thrilling scenes in her history of the early settlement of this country, in which she bore a part. From the early age of sixteen she was a member of the Christian Church. She was no ordinary christian. The christian graces were fully illustrated in her experience and practice. She was kind, fruitful in all the relations of life, as wife and mother, or as friend her record stands untarnished and bright, leaving behind her fragrance at once grateful and desirable. She leaves a husband, aged eighty to mourn her loss. (Name was Greeno)


OLIVE’S TOMBSTONE---far end of cemetery by woods.  photographed 9/3/07 Millport Cemetery by Shelly Glover reads:

                    OLIVE

                    WIFE OF

                    OLIVER GREENO

                        DIED

                    NOV 14, 1862

                          81 YRS

2-26-1797 -- OLIVE HOPPER received by confession of faith.
According to Mr Close, the Wellsburg Church records don't catalog births, marriages and deaths, only, as he says, the deeds or misdeeds of the members.
It seems that it was in this area, Bentley Creek, Millsport, Chemung, where the Bentley, Hopper and Rockwell families came together, rather than in Orange County. It appears that Olive Hopper and Greene Bentley Jr. were most likely married in the Wellsburg Church, sometime after February 26, 1797
In about 1798 or 1799, Green, Jr., after marrying Olive, built a log house in the vicinity of the present village of Millport, NY.  The 1800 Census lists him as the head of the household in Newtown (later Elmira), Tioga Co, NY.  The 1810 & 1820 Census lists him in Catherine (later to become Schuyler), Tioga Co., NY. His household in 1820 in addition to himself and his wife consisted of one male under age 10, one male age 10-16, three males age 18-26, three females under 10, plus a male over age 45 which was likely Green, Sr.   The death of Green, Jr. in Nov 1820 thus left his widow Olive with a houseful of young children.

According to Tice, the second saw mill in the Town of Veteran was built in about 1820 by Green, Jr.

(20) The first sawmill was built by a Mr. T. old, of Geneva, about 1805, on Catharine Creek, near what were afterwards known as the Arnot Mills, and the second about 1820, by Green Bently, Jr., near Allen and Bank’s flouring mill. From this time they soon multiplied, in 1832 they were over 20 sawmills and the Valley.
******************
According to Elaine Cowan:
Not a great deal is known about Green Jr. In "The Report of the State Historian", he is listed in Tioga County, 79th regiment, in 1812 as "Green Bentley, junior, ensign"; in 1818 as a lieutenant in the 79th regiment of infantry; in 1820 he has been promoted to captain in the same unit (there is no month for this entry, however, you will note we have his death date as November 11, 1820. We know he was alive at the time of the 1820 census. The enumeration is usually performed in the summer - June to August, but at some point the "offical date" became June 01 - all persons alive as of June 1st). The entry for 1822 is "....Bently, deceased; Oliver Greeno, lieutenant.."
Perhaps Green Jr. had made the military his career. He certainly was involved in the state militia for a long period of time.
We have no evidence in the form of official documents, but according to an article about his father, Greene Sr., written by Herbert A. Wisbey Jr., he served in the War of 1812.
**************

RELIGIOUS HISTORY OF GREEN BENTLEY, JR

Gossip from the records of the Chemung Baptist Church, Wellsburg, NY show that Green, Jr and Olive Bentley were---like Green, Sr. and several of Jrs. brothers and sisters---not on good terms with the church leaders because of their hard partying.

Cowan notes:  In a letter from a Bentley researcher to the Chemung County Historian (January 22, 1951) we find that Wellsburg Baptist Church records show Greene Jr was in trouble on two occasions in 1800, April 16 and again on May 3, for "sugar boiling on the Sabboth" - do you suppose the little dickens was making some 'white lightening'?


We know Cornelius Hopper (father of Olive Hopper Bentley)  got in trouble for 'hard drinking'.
