Hi John,
Somebody has grafted the German line of George Carpenter of Rockingham Co. VA into your English lineage -- he was of a German line that went through PA to VA and branched out to KY around the time of the American
Revolution.  This is where that line starts:
2.      George CARPENTER-10108 was born about 1768 in Suffield, CT.
!Number 1103 in the Carpenter Memorial on page 171.
George is believed to have moved with his brother to KY.
He had the following children:
+ 5 M i. George CARPENTER-48848 was born about 1785.
This is definitely a German line. Regards, Terry.

THE FOLLOWING DATA MAY APPLY TO THIS GEORGE:

From: Deb & Steve Wake
The following is the will of John Carpenter, son of George Carpenter Jr and Elizabeth Boyer.  The will was burned and rerecorded--hence the "+'s" on the margins.  If anyone knows why George P. Burtner would have an interest
in seeing that the will was rerecorded, please let me know.  As far as I can tell, they were not related, but both were millers.
Thanks to the wonderful clerk at the Rockingham Co courthouse for her help and to my husband for typing the whole thing in for me!
