HNS Narrative notes for William BENTLEY
BENTLEY, WILLIAM, born about 1588 in England. He was a sturdy exponent of the "New Light" Baptist Faith and was active in establishing this faith along the East Coast. There is little doubt that he was the ancestor of the many BENTLEY names on Baptist Registers throughout the United States, He was married to a MARY In England, and although I could find no record of her arrival in America, it appears she was in Boston with him. Should this be the same WILLIAM BENTLEY, who came on the TRUELOVE, and the same WILLIAM BENTLEY, who died In Kingston, Rhode Island in 1691 he would have been about 103 years old at his death.
