William B. S. was born in Delaware, ,OH, in 1828. His father
was a cripple early in life and his mother died young so he had
to educate himself. He taught school for a number of years till
he saved money enough to put himself through a medical college.
He graduated at the Cleveland medical college in 1853. In 1856
he emigrated west with his young wife and baby son. They spent
the winter of 1856 and 1557 in northern Iowa suffering great
hardships from the cold. In 1857 he came to ,KS and located
in Lime , taking up claims and practicing medicine through
the country. This was just at the time of the "Border Ruffian
war" which led up to the war of the Rebellion in 1861 and Lime
County was the scene of some of the most bloody massacres of
that bloody time. In 1861 he enlisted in the army as a private
but was soon promoted and in a few months was elevated to major
and surgeon of the 5th cavalry. He served three years under
General Powell Clayton, present minister to Mexico, was mustered
out in 1863 at Leavenworth where he remained and entered the
practice of medicine. He died Dec. 16, 1893 after becoming one
of the leading physicians of that place. He was a member of the
,KS State Medical association and for fourteen years was
physician to the ,KS state penitentiary.2 SOUR S203

I've been looking for a connection between my William b.abt 1790 and Gilbert
b.abt 1743 in Goshen, NY or perhaps Gilbert b. Nov 10,1772 in Goshen. I
haven't had much luck. So I thought I'd try it from another direction. Do
any of you have the Deming Carpenter listed below and his line back? Any
help would really be appreciated. Carolyn Carpenter.

Subject: concerning Ira Carpenter and family
I believe Mary Eliza Carpenter is her name, not Mary Matilda. I can not remember if I had sent you a previous query, but I feel I might have. I know have seen census that I believe give the name of my ggg grandparents as Ira and Charlotte Carpenter.
I believe this is my gg grandmother who married Albert Andrew Sleeper.
I finally found her on the 1870 Franklin Co. OH Sharon TWP. page 760 August 1870

( he is a long way from home in New Hampshire)
Mary Eliza was only 15 when she married in December 25, 1872. She was born in 1857.
We do not have the first names of the ggg grandparents, but the family records from Great Uncle Thor Myers show as follows:
Grandpa Carpenter was born March 18, 1818 and lived 81 years.
Grandma Carpenter was born March 25, 1828 and lived 92 years.
Somewhere along the line someone thought her maiden name was Savidge. My grandmother said she didn't think that was right, but she couldn't remember the right name. I have not found this to be true. I now think she was Charlotte Vroman.
Mary Eliza had 9 children, of which 6 lived to adult hood. She died soon after her 9th child. He also passed away soon after. Mary E. died 1891/2. I have several census from Kansas showing the family, and two death times. One from family records, and one a copy from some county records. I also have Albert Sleeper in several town registers as owning a tin shop.
They are in Sedgewick Co, KS to start with, but later are listed in Reno Co. KS (very close neighboring counties)
My g grandmother Flora Murilla Sleeper was her 3rd child. Flora and her brother Harley the 5th child lost their hearing from a childhood illness. Both attended the Deaf School in Witchita Kansas. I have a picture of Mary Eliza. And I have two pictures of Carpenter ladies from Westerville, Ohio. ( Interesting Ira's sister Abigail went to deaf school and another sister married a professer and lived in Westerville.)
I believe that I have found my GGG grandparents. Ira and Charlotte Carpenter.
Sincerely, :-) Barbara Long
Charlotte Cordelia Curtiss Broman
NAME: Charlotte Cordelia Curtiss /VROMAN/ or VRoOMAN.
However, Broman is correct. See husband's notes.
She may have been married to a Curtiss but this is not confirmed.
