New Bentley no connections

Hello everyone, I recently discover a Bentley notable, well at least notable for me.  Anyone who has spent hours searching for a person with a common name can appreciate the saying, "no two snowflakes are alike"

The man credited for saying that was Wilson Bentley.  I just created a profile for him here.  I have not initially found any matches for him yet.  If anyone, has connections, please add them.

Here's a submission by Allan Bentley going back several generations:

Thanks I hadn't had a chance to check out Allen's resources, yet.
Thanks again Frank, the records from Allan seems to link him to [Bentley-162].  I will make profiles for the people between the two.  You had the answer for me an hour after I asked...impressive.  Thanks, John
Well I guess I haven't resolved the the apparent two different fathers.  My post assumes one over the other.  But its a good start

Thanks to Frank's help and a little luck, I seem to have connected Wilson to the greater Tree.  While I still need to prove a couple generations to connect him on the Bentley side, I did connect Wilson and his Bentley line to Ester Snow back in 1779 (http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Snow-3321).

Next maybe Ill look into getting the Snowflake Bentley added as a Noteable, he is listed on Wikipedia and did after all figure out no two snowflakes are the same. :)  John
