Here is some information I have located on this family in the 1920 and 1930 censuses:
1920, Fernandina Beach, Nassau County, Florida Roll T625_117, ED 142, Sheet 4B Bentley, W., Head, age 37, b. NC, Fisherman Bentley, Hattie, Wife, age 24, b. NC Bentley, Ear??, Dau, age 7, b. NC Bentley, William, Son, age 3, b. GA Bentley, Virginia, Dau, age 1, b. FL
1930, Mayport, Duval County, Florida, ED 16-84, Sheet 3A Bentley, William E., Head, age 47, Divorced, married at age 29, b. NC, Fisherman
1930, Fernandina Beach, Nassau County, Florida, ED 45-2, Sheet 12B Bentley, Hattie, Wife H, age 33, Married, married at age 15, b. NC, Phone Operator Bentley, Virginia, Dau, age 10, b. FL Bentley, Juanita, Dau, age 8, b. FL Bentley, William, Son, age 13, b. GA
I can't find any parent info for him, in the 1900 census, at age 17, he's already on his own as a boarder with a family in Harnett, New Hanover Co, NC. I did find reference to a few sources that might give you parent info tho'.
Another researcher (hopefully it's not you) has a reference to the marriage record for William and Hattie. http://www.gencircles.com/users/bbpearson/1/data/28855.html#source1 Brunswick County, North Carolina Marriage Register Page: Book 5 page 458 Maybe you could send for a copy, although if it contained parent info, you'd think it would be entered in this tree. Also, death certificate and SS-5 might have more info.
