3372. Zophar Carpenter

Zophar, Jr. was a drummer in Capt. Dickerson's Rangers in Augusta Va.
He was a Patriot, he served in the Revolutionary War.
This Zophar is not mentioned in his father's 1794 will indicating he died
previously. Decendants of Zopher supplied by :
Charles Carpenter of Pocatello, Idaho 83204.
Gerald Reid Tudor indicates that there was only one Zophar Carpenter and has
the two Zophar families intermixed.

7871. Mary Carpenter

MARRIAGE: m. 11May1792: Mary Carpenter married Alexander Boyle, son of John Boyle. John's daughter, Ann, later married Zenith Carpenter on 23 Mar 1793. These are neighbors and have close ties in land transactions.
E-MAIL: Wed, 6 Jun 2001 From: "Timothy Bell"
Thank you for letting me know about the cd set. My ancestor Alexander Boyle, son of Major John Boyle and Jane Black Boyle, married Mary Carpenter, according to research on the internet she was the daughter of Zophar Carpenter. Do you know if this is correct? If it is I will order the cd set right away. Please let me know.
Sincerely, Lavinia Bell.

7873. Leah Carpenter

MARRIAGE: 20 Nov 1793: Leah Carpenter married Thomas Tinsley. Zenith
Carpenter is the bondsman. Later Rufus Carpenter gives proof of age for
Levisa Tinsley in her marriage to a Hugh Ross. Levisa is most likely
the daughter of Leah and Thomas. Leah and Thomas are completely lost
from the scene after their marriage. There was an early Thomas Tinsley
who was a minister and likewise was heard of no more. Could have been
the same as preachers moved about (NO PROOF).

7875. Rachel Carpenter

MARRIAGE: 13 Dec 1799:   Rachel Carpenter married Stephen McCollum.
There is less convincing evidence for Rachel as a daughter, but the
marriage took place in the newly formed Garrard Co. and there were no
other Carpenters except Zophar and his family. Certainly, none of these
ladies would have been on the frontier without family. Therefore, it
looks like Zophar had this one for a daughter also.   There is a
McCollum connection to the Carpenters through the Reed/Reid family. In
1808, John Reed either made his will and / or it was proved on the same
date or in the same year. The court papers do not say when proved. In
his will are sons, John and Andrew; a daughter Rachel, who in the same
year married Rufus Carpenter, son of Zophar. The will also put to
Rufus' charge, the care and education of a David McCollum. This same
David later married a Polly Gentry in neighboring Lincoln Co. He later
moved to Missouri at about the same time Zophar's youngest son Robert
went west. David took as his second wife, Nancy Carpenter, daughter of
Robert. An 1889 short biography of David McCollum reports that, "His
father, his grandfather, and his great-grandfather were all named Davy;"
that he was born in Garrard Co., Ky., Jan 22, 1802. His mother was
Polly Reed. This Polly had to be a sister to Rachel who married Rufus
Carpenter and probably died in child birth or shortly after David was
born. Knowing that Rachel, his daughter was to be married or was
already married to Rufus, was incentive and agreeable to all that David
would be in good hands.   At least the family ties continued. As to how
close Stephen, husband of Rachel Carpenter McCollum was to the other
McCollums is uncertain. Stephens bond was signed by a Daniel McCollum.
Perhaps he was a brother to David, the father of young David who was put
in the care of Rufus. As with the Tinsleys, there is no further
knowledge of Rachel and Stephen.

3373. Elizabeth Carpenter

Charles Carpenter has this Elizabeth of Zophar Jr. but birth date would
indicate Zophar, Sr.

3374. Zenes or Zenith Carpenter

NAME: Probably Zenes.
BIRTH: Some say he was born in Boteourt county, VA.

3376. Rufus Carpenter

Rachel Carpenter, widow of Rufus Carpenter lately returned from Missouri in
1870. There may have been 2 Rufus Carpenter about one generation apart.
Which one fought in the War of 1812 is a question. A Rachel Carpenter applied
for a pension that revealed which one and her maiden name.

Rufus Carpenter. son of Zophar, born Botetourt County, VA, came with his family
to what became Garrard Co., KY
in 1790-91. He married 1808 to Rachel Alexander Reid, born Greenville
District or County, South Carolina. Rufus
served in the War of 1812 under John Faulkner and Richardson. His marker
is in the Carpenter Cemetery on the land his father homesteaded.

7889. Jeremiah Carpenter

Garrard county was created out of Madison in 1797.
Some researchers do not agree that Jeremiah belongs in this family.

3377. Zenas Carpenter

Number 311 in the book, the Carpenter Family in America by Daniel H.
Carpenter, 1901. No family listed.
He was of Coyeman's, Columbia county.
This descendant line is from Cheri Nolan who submitted it as a querry in July
1999. "The following information is from the Bible of Julia Smith Davis and in
the possession of Paul Davis, Erie, PA. The information was there, but not the
relationships. I sent for death certificates and through them and was able to
determine who the parents of Julia's mother, Charity Carpenter was. From
there, I took the e first wife and her children, then who was the second wife
and her children. I determined Elizabeth's first husband was from the Bible
records." Per Cheri Nolan.

7895. John Carpenter

Died aged 49 years. See 1850 Census Mortality Schedule which lists him dying in Feb 1850. He was a merchant and I can not read his cause of death clearly. "In Liver" is the close as I can get.
