 :wave: welcome Bentley family. I'm in Caithness, Scotland almost as far north as you can be on the mainland. Folk here are very friendly and helpful, lots of good advice. And admiration plus a little jealousy if you have an orchard of peaches  ;)
With 1 Angora and now 6 pygmy goats, Jacob & Icelandic sheep, chooks, a cat and my very own Duracell bunny aka BH !

Sorry no peaches here that is some other people that live in the county below us Chilton County  that really are not all TRUE Bentleys at all that group of Bentleys was started from a woman whose last name was Bentley by birth but had sons by and man which no name was ever know so she give them the Bentley name anyways to my knowledge there was no father mention on any documention that I have ever ran across  as to a father. SO! I think they at best be half Bentley at most my Bentley got thir start in United States with William Bentley 1604  and my 2nd cousin is the Gov.'er of ALABAMA now running for a 2nd term this fall in November
