BENTLEY, BRADDOCK, ZEHRING posted by Eric Bentley on Wednesday, April 11, 2001

I am researching the name BENTLEY. My line starts with Isaac BENTLEY m. Montgomery County 11/18/1849 to Elizabeth ZEHRING. They soon moved to Darke County where they had their son Jacob b 12/19/1851 (although they could have moved to Darke county after Jacob was born). Jacob married Sarah Elizabeth BRADDOCK from Preble County. Supposedly they were married in West Manchester 3/18/1875. I have not been able to find a record of this marriage in Preble County. Jacob and Sarah had four children: Florence Elizabeth, Calvin Isaac, Charles Ernest, and Benjamin Franklin BRADDOCK - all born in Castine. It appears that some or all of these people moved back to Dayton around 1900. If you have information on this family, please let me know.
