The compiler of the above book inserts the following . . . Notice from a
newspaper clipping which he thinks refers to this Lyman Carpenter. "A
commercial traveler from San Franciso named Lyman Carpenter recently missing
his trail on a mountain in Mendocino county (CA) and despairing of finding his
way out, committed suicide to avoid the sufferings of a lingering death. This
is the statement which he made in a letter that has since been found, giving
directions for the settlement of his affairs. His body was found in a river
with a stone tied to it and a bullet wound in the head. The package contained
the letter also embraced his account books and valuables." No date on
clipping, but believed to be about 1866.
Per the Carpenter Memorial Lyman went to Groton, NY as a physician. No family
listed. Ancestral File has family data.CENSUS: 1830 US Census

Good Job, Jim!1830 US Census of Fayette county, IN:
Lyman 2 under 5, 2 5-10, 1 30-40 males / female 1 20-30
John 1 under 5, 1 15-20, 2 20-30 males / females 2 under 5, 1 5-10, 2 20-30GOOD NEWS ... Fayette county, Indiana with a Lyman Carpenter comes back as a match!
Dr. Lyman Carpenter born 5 Oct 1799 Savoy,, MA was in Connersville from about 1822 to 1831. He later moved to Everton about 1832. His father was named Ezra and his grandfather was an Ezra.I note that Lyman's children born before 1830 are born 1822, 1824, 1826 & 1828. This is an exact match with the 1830 US Census.
...
Now the BAD news ...Lyman does not have a brother named John. While there is room for a John in the family (see attached file), he is not listed. The father Ezra is number 1562 on page 230 in the CARPENTER MEMORIAL. His family on page 387 (#520). While Ezra moved from MA to NY to points west, John is not listed.
None of his siblings have a son named John. Lyman has a son named John but this is probably because his wife's father was named John.
The naming sequence sometimes used for male children in this time period was:
1st son - father's father
2nd son - mother's father
3rd son - father
4th son - father's oldest brotherLyman's male children are ...
Ambrose ?
Ezra Lyman's father & grandfather
Horace Lyman's brother - b. 1805
John Wife's fatherSO it appears that John & Lyman are not siblings.
SO who was this John Carpenter? I think he was your John Carpenter born abt 1802 in NY.
You may want to see what type of impact John Carpenter had, or what other Carpenters were in Fayette county during this time period. It becomes a process of elimination.

John,
I found some new information on my John Carpenter born 1802 in New York. Indiana, FAYETTE, Roll 26 Book 1, Page 47a shows John Carpenter and on
Indiana, FAYETTE, Roll 26 Book 1, Page 44a the 1830 census records shows Lyman Carpenter. We know that John Carpenter was in Indiana. That is where Dennis and Jane Carpenter were born. Dennis in 1832 and Jane in 1837.
Is this just a coincidence? I think there may be a connection. Lyman Carpenter was born in 1799 in Massachusetts and John Born 1802 in New York. This is the closest lead I have come across in connecting John Carpenter with anyone. Check out the attached and let me know what you think.
Best Regards,
Jim Carpenter

I post this here about once a year for the new researchers.
I'm searching for John Carpenter born about 1802 in New York
Died about 1870-72 in Iowa? I found John last in the Jasper County, Iowa 1870 census. (Independence TWP.)
I have never been able to find John's Parents or his Wife.
John had two children that I know of. Dennis Carpenter born 1832 in Fayette County, IN. and his sister Jane Carpenter born 1837 in Fayette County, IN.
The family moved to Scott County, Iowa around 1840-45?
Dennis married Lucinda Porter.
Jane was a School Teacher last found in Scott County census records.
Dennis and Lucinda moved to Cedar County, Iowa then to Guthrie County Iowa then off to Box Butte, Nebraska.CENSUS: - See image: RIN 94867 John Carpenter 1850.jpg
