replying to your letter,
Not much has been written on the Benjamin BENTLEY family; I am not related, nor could I recognize those photos, perhaps a family member could, also you do not state who the GRANDFATHER is of your Husband that married to HENRIETTA BENTLEY (1895-1992) , if she is the dau of Francis, she is ALSO named LUCILE BENTLEY same age in census above 1920 ,
