A state law abolishing slavery was passed in New York on July 4, 1799 thus ensuring that the children of slaves were free, but full freedom did not pass until July 4, 1827. The Bentleys were the proprietors of Columbia Hall in Lebanon Springs, New York.  Columbia Hall was the first spa and largest hotel in Lebanon, with 300 rooms. It was visited by George Washington, General Lafayette, and other early American luminaries. The hotel remained in the family until it was sold in 1846 and later destroyed.
