155. Jedediah Carpenter

Notes below by Eugene Cole Zubrinsky
Ojai, California, 2008

Amos Carpenter presents correct birth data for Benjamin and Hannah's son Jedediah (Northampton, 1 Oct. 1697) but otherwise confuses him with another Jedediah Carpenter, a blacksmith, born at Rehoboth 15 Dec. 1696 and died there 15 Dec. 1731, son of Samuel4 and Patience (Ide) Carpenter; the latter married 24 May 1725 Mercy Brown of Barrington, Mass. (now in R.I.) (Carpenter [1898] 65, 96-97; CVR 19; BrCoPR 7:313-14; RVR 1:48, 56, 2:144, 241; RI Cems 69; see also Samuel3 sketch, CHILDREN, no. i). Benjamin and Hannah's son Jedediah, of Coventry and Stafford, Conn., died at the latter place on 2 March 1781; the otherwise unidentified "widow Carpenter" died there on 9 Jan. 1784, aged 84 (StVR [Barbour] 2:177; StChR 69). They had seven known children, 2-7 baptized at Bolton (adjacent to Coventry): 1. Daniel, b. Coventry or Bolton by 1725; 2. Joel, bp. 10 Dec. 1727; 3. Ruth, bp. 4 Jan. 1730; 4. Nathan, bp. 2 April 1732; 5. Samuel, bp. 28 July 1734; 6. Dorcas, bp. 22 Feb. 1736; 7. Ezekiel, bp. 25 June 1738 (CLR 4:470; NEHGR 52:180-85).

Two Jedediah Carpenters: One of Coventry, Conn., the Other of Rehoboth, Mass.
Posted by: Gene Zubrinsky (ID *****9842) Date: April 15, 2005 at 15:53:20

I recently found in Amos B. Carpenter (hereafter ABC), _A Genealogical History of the Rehoboth Branch of the Carpenter Family in America_ (1898), another cluster of errors that have been uncritically accepted and repeated by virtually everyone who has posted anything online about the family in question.
...
The Jedediah Carpenter who married Mercy/Marcy/Mary Brown (of Barrington, Mass. [now R.I.]); had children Amy, Rebecca, Caleb, and Patience; and died at Rehoboth in 1731 is a different man. Jedediah Carpenter of Rehoboth never lived anywhere else: he was born there on 15 December 1696, the son of Samuel and Patience (Ide) Carpenter (see Rehoboth Vital Records, 1:48, 56, 2:65, 144, 241). ABC lists him among Samuel and Patience Carpenter's children but gives no information about him except his birth date (see _Rehoboth Carpenter Family_, 78).
...
The data and sources cited above are sufficient to validate the distinction between Benjamin and Hannah (Strong) Carpenter's son Jedediah, on the one hand, and Samuel and Patience (Ide) Carpenter's son Jedediah, on the other. They do not, however, represent thorough research of land, probate, church, cemetery, and other records of Coventry and vicinity or Stafford. Such research (which I do not plan to undertake) will undoubtedly add precision and breadth to the former Jedediah's biography and perhaps identify his wife and provide direct, documentary evidence of more children (including Daniel) than the six baptized at Bolton.

That the Jedediah Carpenter born at Northampton and the one (Jedediah) who died at Rehoboth were the same man was unlikely on its face: What are the odds that a young man born in western Massachusetts, who had moved with his family to central Connecticut, would migrate northeastward, back to the town of his father's birth--the son had no direct connection to Rehoboth and no inheritance there--when population pressures, soil depletion, and primogeniture were pushing people westward? But even if the online repeaters of ABC's inaccuracies failed to see that this scenario deserved further investigation, one would have thought that at least a few might observe standard principles of genealogical research and, as a matter of course, check secondary-source data (particularly that from a nineteenth-century genealogy such as ABC's) against primary sources; lamentably, none did. If anyone had bothered, he or she would have found the whole thing to be a "no-brainer." How many times does the lesson have to be repeated before it is learned? There are no shortcuts to reliable genealogical data!

Gene Z.

Certain of the corrections above have since been confirmed by Ann S. Lainhart and Neil D. Thompson in their "Mercy Brown's Husband Jedediah Carpenter," _The Mayflower Quarterly_ 73 (2007):289-91. And as recently discovered, the remaining corrections had been published previously by Kendall P. Hayward in his "Jedidiah [sic] Carpenter of Coventry, Conn.," _The American Genealogist_ 53 (1977):116-18. See them for additional information.

The same confusion leading Amos Carpenter to attribute the marriage and death data of Jedediah Carpenter of Rehoboth to the Coventry and Stafford man of that name (see above) also causes him to ascribe to the latter the occupation of the former (see _Rehoboth Carpenter Family_, 65). Jedediah Carpenter of Rehoboth was a blacksmith (Bristol Co. Probate, 7:313-14); there is no evidence that Jedediah Carpenter of Coventry and Stafford was anything other than a yeoman farmer.

This from the husband's notes ...
It was probably about this time that Jedediah moved to Stafford, Conn., where he died on 2 March 1781 (Barbour Collection, citing Stafford VR, 2:177); the otherwise unidentified "widow Carpenter" died there on 9 January 1784, aged 84 (Stafford Church Records, 69).

158. Eliphalet Carpenter

BOOK- GENEALOGY: Amos B. Carpenter, A GENEALOGICAL HISTORY OF THE REHOBOTH
BRANCH OF THE CARPENTER FAMILY IN AMERICA.  Also known as the CARPENTER
MEMORIAL. Published 1898 By: Press of Carpenter & Morehouse, Amherst, MA
!Number 125 on page 65.  His family (#66) is listed on page 97.

His father soon after his birth in 1703, removed to Coventry, CT.
Eliphalet's residence was Coventry, CT. where he died on 22 Feb 1792.
His will was dated 1 Dec 1775 and probated 3 April 1792.  He was called by the
commisioners, Captain Eliphalet Carpenter, which title justly belonged to him
as he held a captain's commission under the King.
His name is on the muster roll of a large MA Company under the command of
Capt. Thomas Cheney in Gen. Dwight's Regiment, which was raised in 1746 for the
expedition to Canada and dismissed from service 31 Oct 1747.
Eliphalet was called a very old man at his death.  He married twice, his second
wife surviving him and he mentions in his will his children and grandchildren.
He speaks in his will of his granddaughter Anne, daughter of Eliphalet and
gives her a gold necklace that belonged to his former wife.
He renewed his baptismal faith at West Hartford, CT on 17 March 1728.  His
daughter, Hannah was baptized at West Harford, CT on 27 March 1728.
The inscription on his tombstone in an old burying ground in Coventry, CT,
reads as follows: "This monument is sacred to the memory of Captain Eliphat
Carpenter who died February 22nd, 1792, after 10 weeks illness, with great
composure of mind, in full hope of a glorious resurrection and in the 89th year
of his age.  /An honest man, rare to be found/ Lies buried here beneath this
ground:/ Whose soul we trust is now above/ Where all is joy, where all is
love./"      On the same stone is inscribed the following: "Here lies interred
the body of Mrs. Elizabeth, wife of Captain Eliphalet Carpenter, who departed
this life May 6th, A.D., 1773, in the sixty-eighth year of her age: the first
one buried in this ground."

Many of his children died of "Black throat distemper" which is the highly contagious diptheria.  Every child in the USA is now required to have the diptheria vaccine.  Spelling is correct for either diptheria or diphtheria.

669. Hannah Carpenter

Number 442 in the Carpenter Memorial.  Page 97

670. Submit Carpenter

Number 443 in the Carpenter Memorial.  Page 97  Died age 95.

Submit was named undoubtedly from the great affliction which her parents had
just experienced.  Five of her sisters all died within a few days of each other
of the "black throat distemper" a fearful scourge that carried death and
consternation to so many families in CT in June of 1740.  In addition
the second child named Hannah died about three months prior to
Submit's birth.

Submit married Reuben Stiles in November 1764.  He was born 25 Mar 1737
and was the son of Ebenezer Stiles.  The next paragraph in the Carpenter
Memorial states he was married at Coventry, CT on 12 Dec 1769.

Reuben Stiles was in the Havana expedition in 1762 as a assistant commissary.
He served at the siege of Boston in 1775; at NY City in 1776; magazine
keeper in 1777 and 1779: was at Danbury, CT and White Plains, NY in 1776 and in
the service after 1779.  He was married at Coventry, CT on Dec 12, 1769,
removed to NJ in 1789 and taught school.  He died about 1836 and she
died Dec. 26, 1837; aged 95.

From a scrapbook that he used while in college is found a page headed,
"CUSTOMS" and describes the rules or customs freshman should follow.  See
page 66 in the Carpenter Memorial.
On the cover of his book is the name of Cyril Carpenter born 1736: the name was
written in Latin.  We also find on the same cover the Carpenter Coat of Arms.

Subject: Re: Bishop Carpenter
Here is a history of The carpenter Homestead in Swanzey, NH.
The Carpenter Homestead in Swanzey, N.H.
The Carpenter Home begins in bat 1753 when Rev Ezra Carpenter comes to Keene at Swanzey, NH to preach from Hull, Mass. After preaching there for a number of years. He gets property in Swanzey on Signal Hill. He was a good farmer and community minded person. He resigned as a preacher due to advancing age in 1756. His wife dies one year later in Mar 1766. He is quite overwhelmed with grief. His son Greenwood moved to the homestead in 1756 with his children to assist with the farm
Ezra moved in with his daughter in Walpole, NH and her family where he later died in 1785. Ezra had willed his estate to his son in 1755 with 182 acres.
Greenwood manages the farm for years till his death in Feb 1809 His wife and son Elijah take over till Greenwood's wife dies in Feb 1826. Then it is willed to Elijah till he dies in Oct 1861. His wife Fanny passes away Mar 1875 .
The Property goes to their son George Carpenter and his wife Lucy Whitcomb Carpenter,after George passes away in December ,1915. Lucy Passes away in June 1928,they have no children. Lucy makes her will out in March of 1916, leaving various sums to caretakers and friends. The estate to be auctioned off except the homestead and surrounding property. The Homestead she wills to the town.
From Lucy's will “ All the rest of my estate real and personal I give bequeath to the Town of Swanzey for the following purpose. The homestead of my late husband George Carpenter and myself, shall be kept practically,as the same form as it was constructed,as the same left by my late husband or as same may be,at my decease.
It is to be used as as a home for the poor and unfortunate residents of the town.
All native persons of said town,who maybe reasons of old age,sickness ,or other misfortune,have been rendered incapable of caring for themselves,may find a home here.
All real estate outside the home at proper time be disposed of. The income will be invested and used to pay expense of the home.
At the time of of the appraisal shortly after her passing was $ 21,618.61 including cash on hand , savings and real estate of 190 acres. Lucy was very active in affairs of the town including the Grange, and the Mt Ceaser Library association. George had bought the old seminary building across the road and gave it to the Library association for the purpose of having a library. In 1830 the town accepted the home and started The Carpenter Home . Which is now a fifthteen bed assisted living home, and trustees were voted for the responsibility of the affairs of the home. The homestead has been in the Carpenter family for 175 years
