Thomas Bentley - Bentley
I am looking for the parents of Thomas Bentley. Thomas Bentley (wife Hannah) was born about 1716 in England and appears to have come to America in the 1730s as an indentured servant possibly being an orphan. He married Hannah (maiden name unknown) about 1745 in the Frederick Co., Maryland, area. About 1767/68 Thomas and Hannah and children removed to Rowan (present day Davie) county, NC. Thomas later died 1789 in Lincoln County, NC. Thomas Bentley was born most likely in England about 1716. Recent research indicates he MAY have been an indentured servant in the service of Rev. Joseph Hooper in 1739 in Maryland "with 2 years to serve." On 22 Jan 1744 Thomas Bentley received a patent in Baltimore Co., MD, for 50 acres named Hill Spring, the patent reading 'hath due unto him fifty acres" indicating it MAY have been land allowed by law of the time period to which indentured servants were entitled to for meeting the "conditions of plantation." In later records Thomas Bentley has been referenced as a "planter." Thomas, in wishing to come to America, evidently indentured himself to someone who was willing to pay his passage by ship. He was referenced as Thomas Bentley Junr in a Rowan Co. tax list although no evidence has been found to say his father was named Thomas Bentley. Can anyone help in establishing Thomas Bentley's parentage in England?
