Two schools of thought seen regarding Henry. But no real proof given.
1) He was born abt 1802 in PA and died Sep 1850 Lancaster, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA.
Death noted per U.S., Federal Census Mortality Schedules Index, 1850-1880
2) Henry born 22 May 1787 in East Earl, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA
Death 8 Mar 1868 in East Earl, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA
Son of Henry and Elizabeth (Richards) Carpenter.
Married Elizabeth Carpenter (1788-1829) and had tywo children George Washington Carpenter (1810-1883) and Jeremiah Carpenter (1819-1917)
He moved from Lancaster Co., to Cumberland Co., PA.
He was ordained in 1814, the first Deacon at Martin Church (now SlateHill Mennonite Church).
CHILDREN: Do the children really have the middle name of Martin, or is this just the mother's maiden name added by one researcher as an aide? Unfortunately the pattern is the mother's maiden name used as a form of ID. This is not proper. Middle names of Martin removed. JRC 2014

NOTE: If her mother's maiden name is Gundy, then the middle name should be removed. Without proof and it appears for ID purposes a researcher added mother's maiden names to the record. Unfortunately, this has caused all sort of problems.
