Family is number 1715 on page 794.
A Letter from A.J. Carpenter of Helena, Montana stated to Amos B. Carpenter
that his great grandfather was this Ashman Carpenter who emigrated from New

Of the Cotleb Zimmerman line per James Usher. James Usher was wrong, however.
Further research has confirmed why Usher mislabeled certain descendants.

Abstract of Graves of Revolutionary Patriots: Volume 1
CARPENTER Hope Hillside Cem, Dundee, Yates Co NY 69
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Early Settlers of Yates County", by Mrs. Fenton E. Bootes, G.R.S.,
Historian, Gu-Ya-No-Ga Chapter DAR, "Hope Carpenter"
Hope Carpenter was an early settler of the Town of Starkey and
Tyrone, as he and his wife Phebe, and son Jacob and (Jacob's) wife Mary
were early members of the Tyrone Baptist Church in 1815. Also their
children Sally, Ben, and Henry were on a church record. Deacon Lazarus
Ellis of Tyrone, NY, was given as a character reference for Hope
Carpenter when he applied for his pension as a Revolutionary soldier
28SEPT1832. However, he probably was a member of the Plainville,
Starkey, or Dundee Baptist Church as he also gave Rev. Edward Martin of
Starkey as a reference. Rev. Martin was pastor from 1832-42, and died
in 1850 at age 62. His (Hope's) son, Jacob Y. Carpenter, was a deacon
of the church in 1842 and also Lewis Lafever was a deacon in 1832 and
1850. Phebe Carpenter was living with her grandson Lewis Lafever and
his wife in 1850. Hope Carpenter was born in Hunterdon Co.,
NJ on 16MAR1757 and married Phebe (or Abigail) Yost on 24FEB1788. Phebe
was born on 8MAY1773. Phebe may have been a sister of Nicholas Yost who
was born in NJ in 1779. However, this has not been proven by any
records so far. Susan Austin
continued ...
Hope Carpenter was living at Princeton, NJ, when he was drafted in
Februrary 1775 in the Hunterdon Co., NJ Militia as a private under Capt.
Peter Gordon to Long Island against the Tories and served three to four
weeks. Served again in April for one week. In June, he served again
for five months and was in the battle of Long Island, in campaign around
New York and were followed by the British to Trenton. He was discharged
at New Brunswick, but reenlisted at once. According to his pension
record, he said, "When we reached Trenton, General Washington walked the
streets all night and it was said he wept". The next morning they
crossed the Delaware and laid there till December 25, recrossed at
Coryell's Ferry, went down to Trenton and took the Hessians. The night
after New Year's, the army crossed the Delaware at Bordentown and
marched up to Trenton and General Washington in the night placed a
cannon in the street to prevent the British from crossing and firing on
them at every attempt. Then he gave an account of the fires burning all
night and marched into and took Princeton. The army spent the rest of
the winter at Rocky Hill. He was discharged and went home to Princeton.
After a week, he was drafted again by Capt. John Mott and kept
guard near Philadelphia. He was in the Battle of Monmouth and described
the battle. He served his country for a period of 2 years and four
months.
Hope Carpenter applied for a pension on Sept. 28, 1832 at age 75,
while he was residing at Starkey, NY. His claim was allowed and issued
Nov. 3, 1835 at $20.00 per year. He gave for references his Captain
Peter Gordon, who was living in Geneva, NY in 1831; Sylvanus Arnold who
helped his father, John, as postmaster at Tyrone, Steuben County;
General William Kernan and Rev. Van Rensellaer Wall of Steuben County,
and Rev. Martin and Deacon Ellis of Tyrone. Among his pension papers is
the affidavit of Peter Gordon who said that Hope Carpenter served under
him as Captain in the NJ Militia and in regular service in the
Continental Line. Hope died May 4, 1840, and his widow, Phebe, applied
for a pension Februrary 9, 1846, a resident of Starkey. At this time,
John D. Carpenter, age 33, deposed he was the son of Hope and Phebe
Carpenter and was the 11th child of his parents and presented the family
record. On August 18, 1848, Phebe applied for an increase of pension
which was allowed.

In order to obtain the benefit of the act of congress passed June 7, 1832.

That in the month of Februrary in the year 1775(as he believes) he

Militia and went out under Captain Gordon and when they got to New
Brunswick he enlisted for five months under the said Captain Peter
Gordon in Col. (David) Forman's Regiment and went with him to Long

That they marched from Long Island and went to Fort Washington and

was a sore battle, from there we marched to the North River and crossed
over into the State of New Jersey and was followed by the British until
we arrived at Trenton that when he got to New Brunswick he was
discharged from the Army but immediatley volunteered and entered the
service again - That Gen. Washington led the Army from the White Plains
to Trenton and when we got to Trenton Gen'l Washington walked the
streeets all night and it was said and believed at the time that he
wept, the next morning after we arrived there, the Army crossed over the
Delaware River into Pennsylvania and laid there until the night of the
26th of December and then crossed over at Coryell's Ferry and went down
to Trenton and there took the Hessians, that the night after New Years,
the Army crossed over the Delaware again at Bordentown or Bollentown and
marched up to Trenton again, and General Washington went in the night on
to Mill Hill and placed in the street cannon to prevent the British from
crossing over, and Gen'l. Washington fired upon them in the morning as
they attempted to cross, and continued to fire upon them the whole day
and prevented their crossing and killed many of them.
That when night came on Gen'l. Washington ordered fires to be built
up where they lay, and marched away from there about eight miles further
up the Creek and crossed over and marched into Princeton and had a
skirmish there, and marched to Rocky Hill, and there the main of the
Army remained through the winter, and in the Spring this Depossonent(?)

the first attack was made upon the British by the Regiment he was in,
which was place upon the right wing, Gen'ls. Washington, Green, Putman,
and Lee were present at the battle.
That he has thought more on the subject of late of what took place,
and the probable length of time he was out and in actual service during
the Revolutionary War, and is of opinion and verily believes that he
must have been and was out in actual service of the United States as
much as two years and he believes more.
That he has no documentary evidence of his service, that he knows

service, except Captain Peter Gordon who he served under who was living
one year ago last Fall in the village of Geneva in the County of Ontario

Joseph James Carpenter
Information of Leslie Jay Carpenter (b. 1925) of Seattle Washington (4-1990),
Submitted by Donald W. Carpenter (born 28 Apr. 1943) of Ontario, Canada. Children order uncertain.
Jerry Eugene Donovan (b. 1954) of Loveland, CO supplied updates to this family from a record he copied in March of 1997 that is called "History of the Carpenter Family as related by the late Joseph James Carpenter." This record was prepared by his daughter Nellie Carpenter-Patterson and recopied by James Webster Carpenter at Gary, Ind., another descendant in the Family Tree on June 26, 1912.
This record indicates that Joseph James and his wife lived in New Jersey until 1816 when they moved to Ontario (Canada West), Canada. All the family went with him except "brother Samuel" and "Sister Nancy at that time being married . . ." "My parents lived in Canada 8 years. They moved to Rochester, NY where my mother died in April 1824. My father never remarried again, lived with brother Samuel and others of his children until his death at
the home of his youngest John A. in Canada in 1851."
"Children all born in New Jersey except Elizabeth, Lydia and John."
CHILD: Nancy listed in one record but not in another.
CHILD: Charles listed in one record but not in another. May be in wrong family.
