On 17 December 1769, Thomas Bentley wrote a letter requesting that his son be permitted to sign the Rowan County marriage bond, issued by Thomas Frohock, allowing Aaron Freeman to marry his daughter, Mary Bentley, as follows:

The Forks of the Yadkin was a hotbed of Tory, or Loyalist, activity during the Revolutionary struggle for independence. Here Benjamin Bentley was appointed Constable of the "lower end of the forks of the Yadkin" by the Rowan County Court to serve from 16 February 1771 until 7 February 1772.
An excerpt from James W. Wall's Davie County: A Brief History, page 24, details the following concerning sentiments in the forks of the Yadkin during the struggle for independence:
Extreme cruelties, persecution, murder, and looting were practiced by members of both philosophies. The Moravian records note that in 1776 "We heard that up on the Yadkin many who sided with the King were driven from house and home by persecution; and that these people were hiding in the woods in our neighborhood." This is the first mention of "Outlyers," as they were called. The year 1780 seems to have been the worst. The Moravian records refer to "infrequent acts of robbery and murder" in that year. On October 4, 1780, the Moravians reported, "We hear that on the Atkin [Yadkin] a party of Tories has fallen on the people, but only on those who had formerly done the same to them."
Thomas and his son, Benjamin, sold supplies to the revolutionary cause as can be found the Revolutionary Army Account is the State Archives in Raleigh, NC. Thomas'son, Daniel, received a pension for serving as a soldier.
In the 1778 Rowan tax list of Capt. Lyon's District, Benjamin Bentley, is listed with property valued at 336 pounds.
On 7 December 1779 Thomas Bentley made entry for 100 acres of vacant land lying on the water of the South Yadkin River adjoining Benjamin Bentley, Anthony Peeler, and Carson's [James Carson] land, which he made over, or assigned, to Alexander Carons [Cairns/Carnes].
On 30 June 1778 Benjamin Bentley, Thomas' son, made an entry for 640 acres of vacant land on Bear Creek adjoining Adam Hall, Abraham Welty, [John] McElhaney, Anthony Peelor [Peeler], Carson, Wm. Frohock, and Thos. Bentley. Benjamin received State Grant number 97 for this tract on 21 March 1780.
1782 Benjamin Bentley moved his family to land he had purchased in Iredell (later Wilkes/now Alexander) County, settling in the Cedar Run area of the South Yadkin River.
Iredell County, North Carolina, was formed in 1788. During the first term of court on 25 March 1789 a road jury was appointed by the court to lay out the Cove Gap Road [leading from Rich land Cove Gap to Joseph Sharpe's] , viz: Samuel Smith, Joshua Davis, James Davis, Lat Hudson, Hugh Campbell, Benjamin BENTLEY, Adam Hall, John Meadows, Will Stevenson, James Stevenson, Will Cowan, Nat Pairs, Ford Fortner, John White, Will Brown, David McQuen, Edward Carter, Howel Barker, Will Hughs, Will Campbell, Joe Nableton, James Patterson, Samuel Williams, Jo Millsaps, Will Millsaps, Joseph Millsaps, Henry Revis, John Gortney, John Smith, Edward Griffith, Solomon Kelly, John Arrington, Abner Davis, Thos. Campbell and John Kelly. That is almost a complete roll call of the settlers of northwest Iredell and northeast Alexander. Besides, four slaves are named in the list, Stevenson's Luk, Cook's Deek, Baker's Jack, and Sharp's Deek. Iredell - Piedmont County, page 173. (Iredell County Court Minutes Book 1, page 4.)

Hannah seems to have lived with son, Benjamin, in Alexander County, NC after Thomas' death.
Benjamin Bentley and his family are listed in the 1790 Iredell County, North Carolina, census as follows: four white males over the age of sixteen years including the head of the household, and 4 free white females. This would appear to be Benjamin, his wife, three sons and three daughters. The name of Benjamin's wife can be found in an Iredell County power of attorney dated 23 March 1837 wherein James Bentley names "my Father and Mother Benjamin & Jane Bentley," James Bentley also names his sons John, Ambros, Joel, and William R. Bentley.
On 17 April 1795 Daniel Bentley and Benjamin, the only "two sons and heirs" of Thomas Bentley, deceased, sold both of the tracts of land Thomas had purchased in 1783, withholding 25 acres for the use of Hannah Bentley, "widow & relict of Thomas Bentley." This land was sold to Jacob Bollinger. Witnesses were sons-in-law of Thomas Bentley who were Meshack Davis and William Yonts. This is a very important deed for it establishes the fact that Thomas and Hannah Bentley were the parents of Daniel and Benjamin Bentley.

ABOUT THE BENTLEY HOUSE
Mr. Armand T. Daniel purchased the former Bentley property in 1945. His research and remodeling efforts of the log house were featured in the Davie County Enterprise Record, August 7, 1975, page 1B, as follows:
The Bentley House Over 200 Years Old
For over two years Armand Daniel tried to sell what he thought was just an old frame house on his property.
It wasn't until years later he discovered underneath the exterior of boards and paint was an old log house dating back more than two centuries.
Benjamin Bentley, according to Daniel's research, was apparently in this vicinity when the Boone expedition first came this route through Davie County. His research shows this location as being the first known community in the county and it was named "Bentley."
Daniel says there was the Bentley School, Post Office trading post, and in fact it was the community for the entire group of our first settlers.
Archibald G. Carter lived in this old log house. He purchased Bentley around 1823 and the school was then known as the "Baldy Carter School."
The original house was two 20 ft. x 20 ft. square rooms downstairs separated by a 10 foot wide entrance way and they were studded together by four 50-foot long logs. The upstairs floor space was the same.
Daniel, who is in the process of restoring the old house, recently moved one of the 50-foot logs with the help of nine other men. "It took ten of us to get that log down," Daniel said, "and I just wonder how many men it took to put it up there."
And after more than 200 years, these logs are just as solid as ever.
Daniel has a map of the entire farm, dated in 1800, which has helped him considerable in his research.
He has also found on the land an old ice pond, where ice was frozen then cut into blocks and stored in the ice house, located near-by. He is in the process now of filling in the pond.
Behind the main house is what he called a summer house.
"This is where the kinds slept in the summertime because it was too hot upstairs in the main house." he explained.
The summer house was three stories, including a basement and two stories above.
When Kerr Clement purchased this tract of land in 1929, he remodeled the house and it has since been remodeled again. In the original portion of the house the double rafters are significant of the remodeling. The old rafters of the log cabin are easily detected.
When Daniel bought this property 35 years ago and even rented the house, he had no idea it was an original log cabin built over two hundred years ago. Daniel's research shows this to be the best house in Davie County when it was built in the 1700s and remains today one of the better built houses, he says.
Daniel has now torn away all except the original log cabin and when the renovation is complete he says it will be good for another 200 years.
His remodeling plans include building seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms along with the other necessary rooms.
"And I'm gonna build an outdoor kitchen, he said, with a patio between it and the main house."
Daniel plans to invest a great deal of time and money into this project. Upon completion he says he will move his family here from their present location, which was formerly the John Wilcoxson House featured in another edition.
Mr. Daniel was never able to complete his remodeling of the Bentley House before he passed away in 1979. During the four years he worked on the house he was able to add a two-story addition to the rear of the house, plus adding a brick facade to the exterior, three dormers across the front roof, and a slate roof on the entire house. The house sat empty for 26 years until 2005 when it was lost to an unforgivable act of arson.

Teens Charged With Setting Fire To House
by Mike Gunning
Davie County Enterprise-Record
Two students at South Davie Middle School were charged with arson after they confessed to burning down a 200-year-old house in Cooleemee. Police have not released their names because of their ages.
The boys, ages 14 and 13, cut school last Thursday and during the morning hours entered the Family Dollar Store on Wilkesboro Street, said Davie Sheriff's Detective Robert Trotter. They were charged with larceny of one cigarette lighter and a box of cigars, which the boys smoked after breaking into the unoccupied house at the corner of Daniels Road and Carter Lane, the detective said.
At 11 a.m. neighbors reported seeing smoke billowing from the structure and called the fire department. "I could see the smoke all the way from the firehouse. It was coming up pretty good," Chief Wayne Williams of the Jerusalem Fire Department said. Jerusalem is approximately three miles from the scene.
William's unit was the first to respond, and he immediately noticed the fire had spread to the woods behind the house. Williams knew he had to call in back up.
"We were concerned with the way the wind was blowing that day." Williams said. "Plus, it was difficult to put the fire out because the house was being used to store hay for feed."
Cooleemee and Mocksville departments assisted. Lt. Andy Lipscomb of the Mocksville Fire Department said there was not much left of the house when they arrived.
"It was burned up pretty good," Lipscomb said. "The house was a total loss."
Trotter and Detective Stuart Parker investigated. Trotter said that neighbor's reported seeing two boys in the area. After driving around, Trotter said they spotted the boys who matched the description.
"We asked a few questions, then brought all the parents in for a complete interview at the sheriff's department," Trotter said, "they admitted to starting the fire and stealing a lighter from the store. It was no accident."
According to court records, one of the suspects has a prior arson conviction, and is on probation for that offense. The other child has no prior convictions.

Firefighters Tried to Save Historic Structure
To the editor:
With life moving at the speed of light, sometimes it's easy to overlook the simple acts of kindness and bravery. Like the dedication, commitment and work ethics of our volunteer firefighters. On Thursday, Feb. 17, one of the oldest homes in Davie County was destroyed by fire. My family has owned the old log "Bentley House" since 1945. According to the historical records and genealogical research done by my late father, Armand T. Daniel, the home was constructed between 1780 and 1784. Benjamin Bentley is credited with the original construction of one grandest and largest homes in the area now called Davie County. The original house consisted of two rooms, 20x20 ft. each, constructed of hand hewed forest pine logs spanning 20 feet each. The rooms were spaced 10 feet apart leaving a total of 50 feet of width. Two 50-ft. pine logs were then laid on top of the structure across the front and back. An upstairs story, called a garret, of the same size was placed on top with addition 50-ft. logs spanning the width. The original Bentley House was 2,000 square feet, a very large home for the period. In the early 1800s, a 20x20 kitchen was added 15 feet away and later enclosed for a dining room. Other floors and rooms had been added throughout time. My father, during his period of restoration before his death in 1979, had added more rooms for a total of 8,500 square feet. Unfortunately, he was never able to complete his dream but he had uncovered the history of the home and had the major architectural designs on display.
The log framing in the house and the enormous additions made it a unique place. Although restoration had to be abandoned after my father's death, it held many memories of my childhood while he worked on it in his final years. Many historians have come from as far away as Ohio just to view the home. The 225-year-old logs went up in a flash. The slate roofs came crashing down. The volunteers of the Jerusalem Fire Department and others spent the entire day pumping water and foam on the remains. We knew the structure could not be saved, but hoped the surrounding buildings, trees and land could be spared. The wind made for a terrible day to fight a fire. The smoke was horrendous, yet the firefighters stood among the rubble for more than eight hours. They had to cut a very old burning oak tree near the structure along with employing the use of a bulldozer. All of this was a very dangerous job. I did mention a volunteer job. Most fire departments in the county were involved in some way, either assisting or on backup call. The refilled water and foam trucks just kept coming. As I understand it, at least 55,000 gallons of water, that's more than 42 tanker truck loads, plus 25 gallons of concentrated foaming solution at a cost of over $650 were used in the containment of the fire. We especially want to thank the brave men and women of the Jerusalem, Mocksville and Cooleemee departments for the majority of the work. There may have been other departments that I failed to see, but we want to thank any and everyone who assisted in controlling the calamity. The sheriff's department, the EMTs, the US Forest Service, the Fire Marshall, the NC Wildlife, we had them all. Everyone worked well together, and we understand the responsible parties have been detained. It's a sad day when we lost part of our history to such a senseless act perpetrated by two teen-age boys.
The moral here is, please support your local fire departments. Let them know you are thankful for their dedication and humbled by their unselfish donation of their own time to help someone in need. Buy their chicken pie dinners or whatever else they sell. Or, lend a hand, it's the least we can do.

Information on Giles Whitaker is from John Weldon Whiteaker's book, Whit[eakers of Claiborne County, TN.
Private in the Washington Co., N.C. Milita commanded by Captain James Scott from Aug. 31 to Dec. 1793. [This could also be his nephew Giles Whitaker, son of Richard.
Giles Whitaker evidently went into Claiborne County, TN in the early 1800's. He is found on Thursday, May 16, 1816 serving Jury duty. [Ref: Claiborne Co., TN County Court Clerk's Minute Book, 1815-1817, page 267].

He is not yet proven as the father of Richard Whitaker, but the evidence suggests it is highly likely he is.

This is a work in progress.

He is referred to as Richard Hardy of "Hounslow Beacon" in the 1665 Visitations of Yorkshire, written 28 Aug 1665 by the College of Arms in London who maintain genealogy records of all families of nobility. The book was in a volume printed in 1724.
Hounslow is a Borough of London, in the western part of the city, in the historic county of Middlesex, and the principal town is Hounslow. In Richard's time the town was an important staging post on the Bath Road, and later developed a reputation as the haunt of highwaymen and footpads.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hounslow#History
The area in the town that may have been called Beacon likely has been taken over for Heathrow Airport as there is a Beacon Road next to the airport.
Hounslow Heath is a 200 acre nature reserve in the London Borough of Hounslow and shows what the area would have looked like during Richard's time before he left for Virginia. | HARDY, Richard (I7288)

He kept bees. Sold honey. Buried his money in jars around the yard. Nancy Whitaker Tate would go with him when he would go get his jar of money.
He would sit on front porch with a fan and visit with folks that came up the road. He kept a gallon jar of his "medicine" of rock candy and whiskey. He would take a sip when for medicinal purposes.
He would bake potatoes in the fireplace ashes and pop popcorn in the fireplace. This was a real treat for the grandchildren.
At Christmas, Nancy Whitaker Tate, his granddaughter, would wake up around 4 AM and go up to house. It was a game to see who was going to wake up first. He was always up when NWT got there. His nickname for her was "Shikepoke."
She spent most of her time with them as a child that she had her own bedroom with a feather mattress.
He would ride his horse and Nancy Whitaker Tate would ride double with him, hanging on the back. She was sent to get the horse, because it would run away if someone else rather than NWT came to get him. He was a brown sorrel horse named Doc. Scared of cars, and he would run away. Nancy Whitaker Tate would ride with no saddle or bridle. If a car came, he would stop and not run if she was on him. Nancy Whitaker Tate was a not yet in school. She would take him to a fence, and he would stand still until she would climb the fence and get on him, Then off the would go. He was used for riding to the mill and the store.
He met his first wife on Whitaker Ridge

He left Southhampton, Apr 10, 1634, on the ship Mary & John, and landed at Boston at the end of May. With 100 others, he removed to Ipswich, MA and remained there for the winter. He was then induced to settle in the new town of Newbury and was admitted as a Freeman May 6, 1635. A Saddler, Furrier & Smith | MOODY, William (I6887)

| 20493 |
He left with his younger brother Horace who went to Independence, MO, before moving to Cass Co., IA by 1862. Charles cant be found on the 1860 index anywhere, but was probably in MO also. He was still single, marrying in Cass Co., IA in 1862. They had 5 children, losing 3 in early childhood. (Family records)
In 1880 Charles and Sarah were still in Iowa, Cass Co., although Sarah's father, sister, Emma her family had already moved on to CA. Charles must have gone there perhaps after 1890, and was in Tulare Co. by 1897-1898. | BAKER, Charles Wiley (I12569)

He lived in Nishaba County MS.
He was the next oldest. His complexion was every way like Bro. Andrew's. Was about six feet high - large frame - heavy set square shouldered - a little stooped - weighed about two hundred pounds and when dressed up was fine looking. He was always disposed to be wild during his youth. Was easily led off. Never had the moral courage and firmness of my oldest brother. He was passionately fond of fun and was exceedingly mischievous. Would take pleasure in teasing his younger brothers and sisters. Was not meddlesome nor quarrelsome, nor overbearing but would fight anything and anybody when imposed upon. He left father when about twenty one years old and started west, but on arriving at Vicksburg, Miss. changed his mind and concluded to return home. On his return home he stopped in Nishaba County, Miss. where he settled and is still living [in 1864]
It was six years after he first left father before he visited us again. He embraced religion when about thirty years old, joined the Missionary Baptist Church, and finally accepted a license to preach from his church. Don't think he ever preached much. He was poorly educated but had a good mind, was a close observer, and a man of sound judgement and understood human nature well - passionately fond of vocal music - had a musical voice, would have made a fine orator, was gifted in prayer. | KIRK, Matthew (I7489)
|

He lived in South Carolina, North Carolina, Henry County VA. before moving to Montgomery County, VA.

It has been said, He married many couples in Montgomery county, Virginia.
He took the oath to the Free State of Virginia "Patriot" along with his son Hezekiah Whitt on Sep. 13, 1777. He was a Rev. War Vet. serving in the Montgomery County Virginia Militia. | WHITT, Rev. Richard (I4570)

CIVIL WAR RECORDS
Civil War
Private in Co. H 29th Regiment, Virginia Infantry
29th Infantry Regiment was authorized in November, 1861, and was to contain seven companies under Colonel A.C. Moore and three companies at Pound Gap. However, this organization never took place. Moore's five companies from Abingdon and companies raised in the spring of 1862 evidently made up the nine-company regiment. It was assigned to the Valley District, Department of Northern Virginia, then moved to Kentucky where it was engaged at Middle Creek. Later it saw action in Western Virginia and for a time served in North Carolina under General French. In March, 1863, it totaled 732 men. Attached to General Corse's Brigade the unit participated in Longstreet's Suffolk Expedition and during the Gettysburg Campaign was on detached duty in Tennessee and North Carolina. In the spring of 1864 it returned to Virginia and took its place in the Petersburg trenches north and south of the James River and ended the war at Appomattox. Many were lost at Sayler's Creek, and only 1 officer and 27 men surrendered on April 9, 1865. The field officers were Colonels James Giles and Alfred C. Moore; Lieutenant Colonels Alexander Haynes, William Leigh, and Edwin R. Smith; and Majors Ebenezer Bruster, William R.B. Horne, and Isaac White.
