Read More	David Bent Jr was born about 1764 in Bentville, Annapolis County, Nova Scotia. He was the son of David Bent Sr and Mary Felch. Place Note: Bentville was a small community situated immediately west of the Tupperville Community Hall on present-day Highway 201. The hall was just east of the western boundary of what was then the community of Tupperville. Bentville stretched west from that boundary all the way to Round Hill. It took its name from David Bent, who came from Massachusetts in 1760 and built his house there at present-day Civic #2526 Highway 201. When the railway began delivering the mail to communities along the rail corridor, Bentville was sometimes confused with Kentville in Kings County and, as a result, the mail was often misdirected. To resolve the confusion, Bentville and Tupperville were merged under the Tupperville name. David's father appears to have established his son on a farm in Granville, probably around the time of David's marriage to Ruth. In December of 1796, his father willed the farm in Granville on which David was living on condition that he pay to the estate one hundred and thirty-five pounds and that he meet a condition involving a sum of money, namely 12 pounds and 8 shillings, to be paid to his nephew, Beriah Bent when Beriah attained the age of twenty-one. David married Ruth Parker, daughter of John Parker and Lydia Moore, on 14 Nov 1787 in Lexington, Middlesex County, Province of Massachusetts Bay, New England. The union produced nine children, all born in Granville: four sons - Asaph, Isaac, Rufus and David; and five daughters - Arethusa, Abigail, Rebecca, Ruth and Miriam. David died, at age 67, on 16 Aug 1831 in Belleisle, Annapolis County and was buried in the Bent Cemetery at Belleisle. Note: The Bent Cemetery no longer exists. Either on, or sometime prior to, 9 March 1995 the then owners of the farm disinterred all the remains and reinterred them at Wadeville Cemetery in order to make room for a pond. ESTATE RECORDS* David left a will on 10 Feb 1829 which was proved on September 6, 1831. In his will David named his wife, Ruth, and stated that he had 9 children but named only 8 of them. Three of those named are sons, Rufus, David and Asaph; and five are daughters, Theresa Bent, Abigail Bent, Miriam Bent, Rebecca Starratt and Ruth Starratt.
