Notes

1790 Census shows her as head of household.
See Weynette Parks Haun, Old Albemarle County, North Carolina-Perquimans Precinct, Births, Marriages, Deaths and Flesh Marks, 1659-1820, (Durham NC: 1980), 55.
Hannah BEASLEY might possibly be the 1st cousin once removed of Thomas BENTLEY, Sr., father of her husband, Thomas BENTLEY, Jr.
Notes for James Beasley brother of Hannah:
James Beasley, son of Francis and wife Mary (BENTLEY) was born Aug 5, 1704 (J.R.B. Hathaway, Ed., North Carolina Historical and Genealogical Register, 1901 Reprint, Vol 3, No. 3, (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1979), p. 375.
Abstract of Will: James Beasley, Bertie County, January 2, 1758. Proved January Court 1758. William Bentley (wife, Elizabeth Ashley), son of John Bentley (wife Sarah Farlee) - 3 pewter plates, godson Luke Smithwick - rest of my estate. Friends Jno. Smithwick, of Bertie, and Jno. Ward executors. Test Jno. Smithwick, Edmund Smithwick. (Records of the Secretary of State, North Carolina
Archives, Raleigh, NC)
JOHN BENTLEY, NEPHEW; James and William BENTLEY are also mentioned in the will of Martha Bentley (daughter of William and Elizabeth Ashley?), Bertie County, February Term 1795. (J.R.B. Hathaway, Ed., North Carolina Historical and Genealogical Register, 1901 Reprint, Vol 2, No. 3, (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1979), p. 329.
By 1789 Thomas may have begun to experience poor health as on the fourth of May that year he deeded to his
wife, Hannah for the natural love and affection "which I bear & have unto Hannah Bentley, my beloved wife" all
his goods, chattels, leases, plate jewels, working tools and one negro man named Saul.
In the Lincoln County (1790) census, Hannah was listed as the head of household with three other females in her house, which are probably the younger daughters which are not yet married. Thus it seems that Thomas died between the dates of May 4, 1789 and the census of 1790.
Hannah sold to her "daughter," Margaret Bentley, all her goods, chattels, and plantation for "natural love and affection" on April 1, 1793.
Hannah is not on the 1800 Census of Lincoln County, North Carolina.
Southern Historical Familes by Bodie, Vol. XVI, Appendix V, p.174-175
John BENTLEY Jr., probably the second son and born 1703-4, seems likely to have been married by 1728 and the father of the grand-daughter Hannah BENTLEY mentioned in the will of John Sr. This Hannah may have been a Hannah ( KENT) SMETHWICK, who with John SMETHWICK (Husband of Hannah KENT) and James BEASLEY, witnessed a deed of John BENTLEY (Jr.) to Jesse BENTLEY for 125 acres, August 10, 1751 (Bertie Co. Deed Book "G", Page 373). Jesse was probably a son too, though neither he nor Hannah is mentioned in John BENTLEY'S will. The will of John BENTLEY, dated March 12, 1754 and probated in Bertie Co., at the May court, 1754. (Hathway, Vol. I, p. 79) mentions only his sons, William and John, his sister-in-law Ann BENTLEY, and appoints Richard TOMLINSON his executor. James BEASLEY, who witnessed John BEASLEY'S deed with the SMETHWICKS in 1751 must have been a relative, for in his will, dated Jan. 2, 1758 and probated in Bertie County at the January Court, 1758 (Grimes, op. cit., p. 25) he leaves all his property to William BENTLEY, son of John BENTLEY, and to "my godson Luke SMETHWICK" and appoints John SMETHWICK and John WARD his executors. From the above, John BENTLEY Jr., had at least the following children: William (head of a household in Bertie County, in 1757), John, Jesse, and Hannah (probably the wife of John SMETHWICK).
Hannah Beasley's child, Mary Bentley, married Aaron FREEMAN, Sr. son of John FREEMAN, SR. and Sarah Elizabeth "Sally" OUTLAW. Sarah OUTLAW was the daughter of Edward OUTLAW II and Ann IVEY and the brother of George OUTLAW, SR. who married LYDIA BENTLEY the daughter of JOHN BENTLEY, SR. and Sarah FARLEE. John Bentley, Sr. was the son of RICHARD BENTLEY and his second wife, Lydia MANN and the half brother of MARY BENTLEY whose 2nd. husband was ROBERT FRANCIS BEASLEY (Mary BENTLEY was also the 2nd. wife of Robert Francis BEASLEY). MARY BENTLEY and ROBERT FRANCIS BEASLEY had a daughter HANNAH BEASLEY
