Notes


3519. William Carpenter

Number 313 in the Carpenter Memorial.  Page 85
Family on page 158 (#138).  Only one child listed.
A harness maker and he served in the Revolution.  He moved to Poughkeepsie, NY
and spent his later years with his daughter, dying in her home.
SEE: XIV - New York Biographical And Genealogical Historial, page 1405.
SEE: Marriages Records of the First and Second Reformed Dutch Church - 1716 -
1912 of Poughkeepsie, Dutchess, NY.  Copied, typed & indexed by Mrs. Jean D.
Worden, 1992.  Page 114:
"3 Feb 1765 - William Carpenter born in Long Island and Hillegonte Van Wagenen
born in Nine Partners and living in Dutchess Co."  This record is probably for
this William.


8228. 2 Carpenter

Unnamed daughter.  See father's notes.


3520. Increase Carpenter

Number 310 in the Carpenter Memorial. Page 84.
Family on page 156 (#135)
He served through the Revolutionary war.  A Butcher and Innkeeper.

BIRTH: The Carpenter Memorial has April 1743 as birth date but the DAR records
has birth date as 20 August 1736. Per DAR he participated in the Revolutionary
War as a Lieutenant from New York. Wife listed as died 23 January 1823.
His name is frequently mentioned in the records. He was an Elder in the
church. On 27 March 1776 a company of Militia was formed at Jamaica of 40
persons: Ephraim Baylis, captain and Increase Carpenter, first lieutenant.
On 24 Aug 1776, in a list of staff officers in Queens county, we find Increase
Carpenter as Quartermaster, and Nehemiah Carpenter as a private in the same
company.
"Captain Carpenter, at the battle of Long Island, did splendid service in
resisting the advance of the British Army near what is now Third Ave and 23th
St. (The compiler of the Carpenter Memorial thinks this probably refers to
Captain Nathaniel Carpenter of Rehoboth who was stationed at NY about
that time.)
Increase Carpenter kept an Inn a mile east of Jamaica. A meeting was held at
his house in 1774 to protest against the tax of tea et cetera. He was first
lieutenant in defense of our liberties, March 27, 1776. After the battle of
Long Island he and Nehemiah Carpenter fled to the mainland and up the Hudson
and their property was confiscated. He was at one time a Commissary of the
Army. Increase had certificates notes of about $2,000, which became mutilated
and worn and he applied for new ones. Application was referred to the Treasury
department.
On page 157 is an abstract of the will of Increase Carpenter. He mentions his
wife Mary, daughter Mary, wife of Peter Baker, daughter Jane, wife of Zophar
Wicks, and Nancy, wife of Selah Smith: and his four sons, namely Samuel, James,
George, and David. Dated June 14, 1805. Jamaica, Long Island.

PROSPECT CEMETERY, 159th Street and Beaver Road, Jamaica, Queens. Landmark Site: Borough of Queens Tax Map Block 10099, Lot 36. Prospect Cemetery, the early graveyard of the small town of Jamaica, is one of the few remaining Colonial cemeteries in Queens. In the early 1600's, this site was part of the land belonging to the local tribe of Indians known as the “Yemecah”, meaning beaver, an animal which thrived in the area. In 1656, a group of English colonists petitioned the Dutch Governor-General, Peter Stuyvesant, to grant them a settlement which was near today’s John F. Kennedy Airport. Apparently, this site was not satisfactory, and later in the same year, the colonist moved northward, and described themselves: “We owners by purchase from the Indians and grant from the Governor and Council -- living at ye new plantation near unto beaver pond, commonly called Jamaica -- .... have reserved unto ourselves 10 acres of planting land a man.....” The Dutch called this area “Rustdorn”, but after the surrender of the colony to the British, “Jamaica” was used exclusively. In its first year of existence, the settlement elected Daniel Denton, a member of a family which was to remain in the area for generations, as clerk of both the town and church, illustrating the interrelationship between church and government in this early period. It was not until thirty years later, in 1686, however, that Jamaica was granted its charter as a village by British Governor, Thomas Dongan.
The earliest record of the cemetery dates from November, 1668, when townsman John Wascot was hired to enclose the “burring pias”, then ten rods square, with a fence, five rails high. The cemetery was established, therefore, shortly before 1668, since it is doubtful that the town would allow such hallowed ground to stand unprotected for very long. Several references were made to the “burring place” during the 17th century, when citing other locations in the town. The cemetery was generally known as the Presbyterian burial ground, since it was associated with the Old Stone Church built in the 1690's, which stood near today’s Union Hall Street. Due, however, to the close interaction of church and state -- the church served also as the town hall -- the cemetery was as well the property of the Town of Jamaica.
...
A number of Revolutionary War veterans, many of whom served with Skidmore’s Minutemen, are buried in the cemetery. ... Increase Carpenter (1773/6-1807), who fought in the Battle of Long Island, is also buried here.

E-MAIL: Thu, 27 Jan 2000 From: Linda Hannah
I was substituting in a middle school library last week and the
librarian said I could take any book I wanted to check out.  I found a book
called "A Journal of a Revolutionary War Woman" by Judith E. Greenberg and
Helen Cary McKeever, Franklin Watts, a div. of Grolier Pub. NY 1996.
I read along and took some notes to give color to my book whenever I
get it written. Then I came to the entry  on page 74:
(I'm paraphrasing) INCREASE CARPENTER ran a well known tavern on
Long Island. Monday March 1777- A runaway team of horses arrived at the
tavern where they stopped under a shed. In the morning it was discovered
that James Parker, a farmer, had been shot by a robber who proposed to take
his wagonfull of goods. They were found untouched. "The people in the area
were indignate and talked of taking active measures for their defense."
This little book is written from a woman's point of view for her
husband who is at war.  It shows what the women had to put up with from the
quartered British and Hussian soldiers. But also that they were protected by
them from the "Runners"/robbers who would not attack if the soldiers were
there. The terrorism of the time: homes burned not by the British but the
looters, children stabbed, husband's heads cracked open in front of them was
horrible.  Although the Brits did try to make common citizens unload wagons
for them and do other menial work, the Quaker and others would go report
them to the British Commmander who knew better. A most interesting little
book that really shows what it was like during those horrible eight years of
gaining our freedom from the English.
I thought the descendants of the Long Island Increase Carpenter
would like this for their family stories!!!
