This family reunion has been going on annually for over 50 years and Bentley descendants come from all over the country to attend, share good fellowship, share good food, and share family history and stories. I will be attending and will be bringing a copy of my Bentley manuscript I want to have published and I will be inviting Karen Wheeler and Thomas Valentine, two very serious Bentley researchers. Thomas is a professional Genealogist and also a descendant of Jesse Bentley who came from North Carolina, a revolutionary war soldier that settled in Wilkes, Oglethorpe, and Walton County, Georgia.
