** My grandparents spent a summer as migrant farmers because my grandfather
developed black lung from the mines and had to move to a better climate for a
while. The baby was just born, and the doctor said he would take care of it for
the summer while they were gone because he was too young to travel. When they
returned, he had given the baby up for adoption and refused to tell them where
he was. Thus, we have a missing uncle somewhere who probably doesn't know he is
missing.
Have fun. I just love attaching to big databases. It's so fun from a historical
standpoint. I have really learned to love history.

15392. Christopher D. (Charlie) Carpenter

This Family Line submitted by John E. Proctor (brn 1933) of Stilwell KS. 4/96

Christopher was the husband of Clarissa Whitmore. They were married 6 Dec 1859. One person says the year should be 1858. Middle name was "D." And went by "Charles" and referred to many as "Charlie."

According to Art Carpenter, 1/95, the records on 'Charlies' early life are conflicting with family remembrances, the census and his obtuary. Art states that when he, Art, was small his grand parents told him that Charlie was kicked out by the family he was living with when he was 12 years old. He went to work on the Erie Canal as a horse and mule driver. It was reported by Rosemary Batchlor that Charlie was married at Sand Lake, NY in either 1821 or 22. We have records that list the children as being born in Montgomery Co. near Sand Lake. Both this and the below record could be correct, in that Lysander may be near the area through which the Erie Canal was built, who knows?

There is a Christopher Carpenter noted on the 1850 census as follows:
Ref: M432=1850 census; roll #570; town of Lysander; county of Onondaga; State of NY; stamped page #500; family #91, dwelling #591, line #42. He is shown as living with the Lyman Longley family, age 16, (making his birthday in 1834). It is unknown if this is the Christopher Carpenter of our family.
There is a Mary Carpenter listed, (same reference, line 19) living with the Joel S. Craw family, and there is a Jacaquete ? A. Carpenter living with the Elias Coy family. One can only guess, but it appears that these three
Carpenter children lost their parents and were parcled out to friends. The birth date for Christopher C. matches the birth date for Charlie Carpenter, as shown in the 1870 census = M593; roll 1061, page 48, line 11, dwelling 424, family 422, and married to Clarissia, having Emma and Charles Egbert Carpenter.
Apparently he did not like Christopher as his first name, so used his middle name, Charles, this followed thru into the 1870 census and his death certificate. An additional reference for the 1870 census from Aurther Carpenter shows the reference on page 47, listing Charles and Clarissa, having 5 children, Emma 9; Charles E. 7; William 5; Henry 3; John 2, & Irving 5/12.

Census of 1880                               4th Ward, city of Hillsdale in
Hillsdale Co, MI, the 10th day of June. Lists Charles Carpenter 46 as a
farmer, Clarissa 40, Emma 19 (at home), Charles 17, (farm labor), William 15
(at school), Henry 13, Irving 10, George 7, Minnie 5, Carrie 4, Fanny 3, Grant
1.

Census of 1884 from Emmet Co, MI lists: Charles 47 (teanster), Clarissa 45
(wife), Charles 21 (teamster), william 19 (laborer), Henry 16 (laborer), Irving
12 (at home), George 9, Minnie 7, Carrie 6, Fannie 5, Grant 4, Lilly 20
(Daughter-in-law), Grace 1 (grand daughter).

Charles Carpenter, Livery Stable, is listed in the Wayne Directory in 1899,
but not in 1897. This directory, part of the MI Gazetteer, appeared
every two years. This Charles Carpenter may have started his livery in 1898,
or even late in 1897, (from Mrs. Hanchett at the Wayne Historical Museum.)
Wayne Directories: 1895 list Wm. Bailey & Charles Carpenter, proprs.
Wayne Co. Review, Charles Carpenter - Livery is listed for years 1895, 1897,
1899, 1901, 1903,1905,1907, and 1909.

Census of 1900, MI, Wayne Co., Nankin twp, village of Wayne, ED#194, sheet #8, shows a Chas Carpenter, born in Aug of 1835, 64 yrs of age, born in NY, father unknown, mother born in VA, working as a liveryman. He is married to Ella born Aug 1853, age 46, born in MI, parents born in NJ.

The Wayne Echo, April 27th, 1900, lists Charles Carpenter: As in most other
things Wayne is well supplied with modes of conveyance, and Charles Carpenter is ready and willing to accomodate any one who desires to be conveyed by the horse and buggy method with good rigs and at reasonable prices. He is located on Fourth Street in the east end of the Village.

Chas. Carpenter listed 1895-1909 and Ben Simons listed 1911 in the MI Gazetteer. In 1900 Charles Carpenter had "good rigs at reasonable prices." He had 5 or 6 horses then and Bill Chambers said he didn't wait up for his customers. Went to bed and let them put the horses in. They unhitched the horse, (if they were out late), left harness in buggy and let horse find its own stall. He charged $1.50. ( From Mildred Hanchett, Sept. 30, 1968).

Death certificate indicates his age at death as 74 yrs, 7 mos, 15 days,
and as he died on 28th of April 1910, figuring this out gives his birth date
(according to the death certificate) as 13 Oct 1835. We have his birth date
listed as 13 Aug 1835. The certificate states that Charles was a livery-man,
and died of "Gangrene of foot", the doctor states that he attended to him from
April 20th to his time of death on April 28th for the injury. He is listed as
married, but no wife is listed (she was Clarissa Whitmore, and it notes
that his father and mother as well as his place of birth is unknown. This
would be consistent with his being an orphan at the age of 16. Clarissa had
died some years earlier, in 1892, after going to her daughters home, Emma,
to help her as that family had become infected with Typhoid.
It is related by Florence Pearl Proctor that he remarried after Clarissa died;
Carrie Belle, who was the mother of George Belle, who married his step-sister
Carrie Elizabeth Carpenter.

The following information has been received from Arthur Carpenter 4/1/94 and is taken from his information based on the obituary from the Wayne Review, Friday May 6th 1910.
"Charles Carpenter was born August 13, 1835 in Marcellus, Onoadaga Co. NY and passed from this earth April 28th, 1910, at his home in Wayne, MI at the age of 74 years, 8 months, and 15 days. He was married to Clarissa Whitmore in Marcellus NY December 6th 1859. She departed this earth on November 15th, 1892. Eleven children were born to this union, 10 of whom are still living.
Emma F. Place of Canton, MI.; Charley E. and Wm. L. of IA; Minnie D. Truesdell and Fannie D. Place of Petoskey, MI.; George of Dearborn, MI; Henry J., Irving, Carrie E. Bell and Grant L. of Wayne MI; the child John preceded him in death at the age of 9 years. All the children were born in NY except Grant, who was born in Hillsdale MI. All were here to attend the funeral except Wm. L.

Charles married Ella Bell on Dec. 4th, 1894, following the death of his wife Clarissa in 1892, she still survives him.

Charles was the seventh boy of a family of 12 children. Two brothers and one sister are still living; Abe Carpenter & Mrs. Jennie Widger, both of NY; and Phillip Carpenter of OK. He was left to drift amongst strangers at the age of 12 years, his father being killed by being run over by a wagon.
(ref: census of 1850, living with the Lyman Longley family at age 16) He was one of a long-lived family, his mother being 87 years old at the time of her death, and brothers and sisters who have passed before had reached their three score years and ten.

During the time of the Civil War he bought horses for the army, he was always a great lover of horses; at various times he owned very valuable animals. He also furnished straw to the largest paper mills in NY. He was interested in different occupations at various places. He was very devoted to his family and always looked forward to their welfare. In time of need he was always ready to lend a helping hand. He was very outspoken, was of a jovial
disposition, and had a very tender heart.

Charles funeral was held at the First United Methodist Church Sunday afternoon. Rev. Frank Bradley assisted by Rev. Wickham conducted the services. Will Curtis sang several solos. Burial was in Glenwood Cemetery,1 May 1910.

Records from the First United Methodist Church in Wayne, taken on Heritage Sunday April 26th, 1992, listing the first 160 years, lists a Franklin Bradley as minister from 1909 to 1913, however there is no listing for a Rev. Wickham.

Charles' son, Henry, once stated that they lived in Hillsdale for 1 1/2 years, at Ionia 1 1/2 years and in Petoskey for 4 years.

Property owned in Wayne MI: Steers addition, lots 55, 56, & south half of 54; and O'Conner addition lots 15 & 20, from 1891, William L. & Henry Pd. personel tax. Charles also owned 3 pieces of land in Alcona County, MI.

From: John Proctor Maproski@aol.com
John, I found your home page on Family Tree Maker site. It's great!   You have really done a wonderfull job for the Carpenter family of researchers. I have been working with a Ted Atkinson of Williamstown, MA, who is
descended thru the Carpenter line, Abiah, to Oliver, to Jeremiah and on down. I had put my line together using Jeremiahs son Christopher, and then down from him. He has good records on Jeremiah, and knows that Christopher of Jeremiah died at an early age. So I am now of the opinion that my genealogy line goes as follows from Wm of Rehoboth, to Abiah, to Oliver to his son Christopher b: 1696 who married Mercy Taylor, then to their son Christopher, b: 1745 who married Ann ?, their son Christopher, b: 1796 who married Henrietta M. Greenman, their son Christopher (called Charlie by our family), b:1853, who married Clarissa Whitmore.
I am following up on this line to obtain better documentation and will send it all to you when complete. Best wishes and keep up the good effort.
John Proctor.

Fay (Carpenter) & Jerry Ford provided this summary in April of 2005:
Great grandparents: a son Christopher D. "Charlie" Carpenter was b. 13 Aug 1835 in Marcellus, Onondaga Co., NY. He m. Clarissa "Clara" Whitmore on 6 Dec 1859 in MI.

She was the d/o Elias Whitmore and Adelia Adeline Brower and ninth generation from four Mayflower passengers: John Alden, George Soule, Edward Doty and William Mullins. She (therefore, Bob) descend from them and Philip Delano, a Huguenot immigrant, related to presidents Roosevelt. Huguenot was the name given protestants persecuted and killed by decree of a French king if they didn't convert to Catholicism. Many fled to other countries. Eight former American presidents can be traced as Huguenot descendants. Both Charlie and Clara were buried in the Glenwood Cemetery in Wayne, MI. They had eleven children: Emma Florence, Charles Egbert, William L., Henry Joel, John (died age nine), Irving, George, Minnie Della, Carrie Elizabeth, Fannie Delia, and Grant Lewis.

15397. Jerome Bonaparte Carpenter

  From Andrew Stevenson's Family Histories I: "Mary Carpenter Hardin
speaks of her father growing up in Syracuse, NY and Salina, which had
continued as independent until 1847, then did become the first Ward of
Syracuse. She speaks also of him as a boy "of driving on the Erie
Canal, when the boats were drawn by horses." (This may have been the
Oswego Canal which went through Salina in 1827). He was only 13 or so
when his widowed mother moved to DeKalb County, Illinois to a farm
next to her brother Wells A. Fay. In 1852 he moved to a nearby farm
upon his marriage, and here Wilbur, Mary and Ellsworth were born. MCH
says he then moved (from the farm in Squaw Grove township) across to
"Freeland Corners", a very small village (which is in Somonauk twp.)
and here Millie (Amelia) was born. He then moved back to the farm.
It will be noted on the map that the farm of Samuel H. Lay, Josepha's
father, is about the same distance southeast of Freeland as the
carpenter and Wells farms are northwest."
  "Mary Carpenter Hardin says the family moved to State Center, Iowa
in March 1868 (via the C&NW Ry at Cortland, Illinois. To the north of
them in DeKalb County) where his brothers already had established a
store. She says this was owned then by the four Carpenter brothers
and Josepha's brother-in-law, Horatio Brayton, Nettie's husband. He
also had an interest, with his brothers, in a grain elevator. As the
1860 Daniel Lamb map of DeKalb County shows he had acquired some 360
acres of land, it is easy to see how Nettie Sanford in writing of
State Center in Marshall County could say: "Then came the Carpenters,
men of capital and enterprise, from Sandwich, Illinois."
  "Apparently the 1873 depression, with its disastrous effects on
farm values and prices, pretty well wiped him out (Mary Carpenter
Hardin says he finally paid off his debts in full at the time she was
married in December 1880)."
  "The Archives combined compilation of Civil War Military Records
gives him residing in Sandwich, enlisted 28 July, 1861, mustered in 28
Aug., discharged 13 Feb. 1862, 2nd Lieut., 10th Ill. Infantry. (During
this period the 10th Inf. Was on guard duty, Mound City, Ill., by Jan.
moved with Grant's forces to Bird's Point, Mo.)"
  The 1860 Census shows Jerome and Josepha living in the Town of
Freeland, Squaw Grove Township, DeKalb Co., Illinois with four
children and working as a farmer. The 1870 Census shows Jerome living
in State Center, Iowa with his wife Josepha and seven children and an
occupation of Dry Goods Merchant. The 1880 Census shows Jerome living
in State Center, Iowa with his wife Josepha and three children and an
occupation of Live Stock Dealer.
  Minnie Adams Houston remembers that her Uncle Jerome lived almost
all of his life at State Center, Iowa.

15398. Thaddeus B. Carpenter

(Burr Oak Cemetery)

  From Andrew Stevenson's Family Histories I: "Thaddeus would have
been a boy of around 8 when his widowed mother moved to Squaw Grove,
Illinois. The Western Historical History of Marshall County, Iowa
says: "In the Fall of 1864, T.B. Carpenter came and about the same
time, A.N. Woolston, J.W. Dobbins of Sandwich, and V.J. Shipman,
Orleans Co., NY came to State Center in January 1865 and erected a
one-story frame building and put in groceries and boots and shoes.
The Carpenter Brothers erected a store in May and put in a stock of
goods …" Apparently, then, Thaddeus was the first to move to State
Center, Wallace and Byron followed shortly, and Jerome not until
1868."
  "The Western History continues: "The family of T.B. Carpenter
occupied a back room of the same building until such time as a
suitable dwelling could be prepared. On the 27th of June 1865, there
came a terrible thunderstorm from the west, accompanied with a fearful
wind (i.e. a tornado). Mr. Carpenter's family felt the house shake as
if it was in the hands of some monster and then came a crash. The
whole building had fallen inward, one of the timbers striking a little
girl with such force that she died the next day. The cooking stove in
falling over burned the baby, May, and she, too, came near dying. The
air was filled with dust; boards and heavy timbers were tossed about
and wagons were lifted up and carried long distances. But
notwithstanding this calamity. The carpenters rebuild their store,
which building is still standing (in 1878) and got a new stock of
goods."
The 1850 Census shows Thaddeus living with his Uncle Horace Fay and
his brother Henry in Squaw Grove Township, DeKalb Co., Illinois
employed as farmers. The 1860 Census shows him in the old town of
Beulah, Victor Township, DeKalb Co., Illinois with his wife Mary J.
and one daughter and working as a farmer. The 1870 Census shows
Thaddeus living in State Center, Iowa with his wife Mary J., four
children and an occupation of Dry Goods Merchant. The 1880 Census
shows him living in Burr Oak, Kansas with a new wife Catherine, four
children and an occupation of Merchant. The 1900 Census shows
Thaddeus living in Clinton, Henry Co., Missouri with his wife
Catherine and an occupation of Coal Dealer; Catherine is listed as a
Milliner.
William G. Cutler's "History of the State of Kansas" speaks about
the town of Burr Oak, Kansas: "The place was organized as a city of
the third class in April, 1880. It now has a population of 700. The
first city officers were: J. K. McLain, Mayor; W. M. Spurlock,
Clerk; A. W. Mann, Treasurer; T. B. Carpenter, O. F. Roberts, A.
J. Godfrey, George Quigley and Dr. J. E. Hawley, Councilmen." "The
town was laid out in 1875 by A. J. Godfrey on the northwest quarter of
the northwest quarter of Section 23, Township 2 south, Range 9 west,
being a part of his homestead. The first store was that of J. E.
Faidley, the second F. Gilbert, and the third T. B. Carpenter."
Thaddeus B. Carpenter served in the Kansas State Senate in 1877 and
1879 as a Republican from Jewell County, District 34.

15399. Wallace Fay Carpenter

Wallace went to Iowa abt 1865 plus or minus then was in Chicago circa 1880 then in Omaha circa 1890.

(Belle is listed as a widow in 1910)

The family story was that Wallace was in the cattle business with
Byron in Montana (?) in the "Little Rosebud River" country. Minnie
Adams Houston remembers him as very good looking, tall and dark and
dignified. He told her of the rapid development of the great west,
that years before, he had crossed from the Missouri River to the
Pacific coast and in that journey had never seen a white face except
at a Fort in Utah where there were soldiers. She indicates that he
was a "49er" and went to California in the early days for gold. While
the Montana story may be true, it is evident that both Wallace and
Byron wound up in the cattle business and relatively close to each
other in both Iowa and Nebraska with Wallace spending some time in
between in Chicago.
The 1860 Census shows Wallace living with his brother Byron in the
old town of Beulah, Squaw Grove Township, DeKalb Co., Illinois
employed as farm laborers. The 1870 Census shows Wallace living in
State Center, Iowa with his wife Belle and three children with an
occupation of Buying Stock. The 1880 Census shows Wallace living in
Chicago, Cook Co., Illinois with his wife and three children with his
occupation is listed as Commission Manager. The 1900 Census shows
Wallace living in Omaha City, Douglas Co., Nebraska with his wife
Belle, one child and his occupation is listed as Stock Raiser.

22979. Jessie Carpenter

Jessie is listed in the 1910 Census as single and living with her
mother in Chicago and her occupation is listed as a Private Family
Physician.

15400. Henry E. Carpenter Jr.

(Ida is a widow in 1930)

  Minnie Adams Houston recalls that Uncle Henry lived in Sandwich
part of his life. He was full of fun. "Droll would be the word to
describe him. He worked in the factory and never had much of this
world's goods, although he was comfortable." Henry served with the
Union Army in the Civil War with Company H of the 105th Regiment of
the Illinois Infantry and is listed as being from Squaw Grove,
Illinois.
  The 1850 Census shows him living with his Uncle Horace Fay and
brother Thaddeus in Squaw Grove Township, DeKalb Co., Illinois
employed as farmers. The 1870 Census shows him living in Somonauk,
DeKalb Co., Illinois with his wife Mary and three children with his
occupation is listed as a Machinist. The 1880 Census shows him in
Arcadia, Carroll Co., Iowa with wife Mary, three children and his
occupation is listed as a Stock Dealer. Henry's biography in the 1887
History of Carroll-Greene Co., Iowa indicates that he was living with
his wife and son in Arcadia, Iowa. By 1895, they were either visiting
or had actually moved to Cleveland, Ohio, perhaps to live near their
daughter Lillian and his wife Mary died there in September 1895. The
1900 Census shows Henry living in Cleveland, Cuyahoga Co., Ohio with
his daughter Lillian and Byron Yant with an occupation of Carriage
Salesman. The 1910 Census shows him in Perry Township, Lake Co., Iowa
with his second wife Ida and an occupation of "own income". The 1920
Census shows him in Perry Township, Lake Co., Ohio with his wife Ida
and his occupation is listed as General Farmer. In 1930 Ida is listed
in Lake Co., Ohio as a widow.
  The book "The Carroll-Greene County History, 1887" contains the
following biography for Henry Carpenter, Jr.: "Henry Carpenter,
hardware dealer, Arcadia, Iowa, is the oldest business man of the
place. He located in the village June 8, 1872, and erected a business
house, the first one in the town, that season, and engaged in general
merchandising. He continued in business until 1875, when he sold out
and engaged in farming and stock-buying. From September 18, 1881,
until October, 1885, he was postmaster at Arcadia, and since that time
has been in the hardware business. He has been a notary public since
1872, school treasurer a number of years, and also township trustee.
In politics he is a Republican. In August, 1862, he enlisted in the
defense of his country, and was assigned to Company H, One Hundred and
Fifth Illinois Infantry, and served three years, engaged the most of
the time in guerrilla fighting. His regiment was with Sherman to the
sea, but at that time Mr. Carpenter was on detached duty at Nashville
with General Thomas when he destroyed Hood's army. He contracted
disease while in the service, from which he will probably never
recover. After the war closed he returned to Sandwich, Illinois,
where he worked for the Sandwich Manufacturing Company until he came
to Iowa in 1872. Mr. Carpenter was born in Onondaga County, New York,
in 1834, a son of Henry and Roxanna M. (Fay) Carpenter, natives of
Vermont and New York. In 1836 his father moved to Ottawa, Illinois,
where he soon after died, and his mother afterward pre-empted land in
De Kalb County, where the family were among the first settlers. He
was married in DeKalb County to Mary E. Hasbrook, a native of Dutchess
County, New York. They have two children - Lillian H., wife of Byron
Yant, of Mercer County, Ohio, and Wallace F., at home. One daughter
died at Arcadia in December 1881, aged twenty-eight years, and two
children, Frank and Hattie, died in early childhood."

15401. Byron Fay Carpenter a Twin

(Oak Ridge Cemetery)

A twin with Augusta. The 1850 Census shows Roxanna Carpenter living
in Ottawa, LaSalle Co., Illinois with only her two youngest children,
Byron and Augusta, both age 13. The 1860 Census shows Byron living
with his brother Wallace in the old town of Beulah, Squaw Grove
Township, DeKalb Co., Illinois employed as farm laborers. The 1870
Census shows Byron living in Dunlap, Harrison Co., Iowa with his wife
Amy and employed as a Dry Goods Merchant. The 1880 Census shows Byron
