Hi John,
I posted a question to another ancestry subscriber, jewellra1,
regarding the "Samuel Flowers b abt 1761 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana"
that she had in her tree.
>Hi jewellra1,
>
>I am interested in the Samuel Flowers b abt 1761 in Baton Rouge,
>Louisiana that you have in your CE2009March05 tree.
>
>I have been reading the early Natchez Court Records (1726 - 1826)
>and looking at other information on this period.
>
>I have that Samuel Flowers b 1752 (unknown location), a physician,
>arrived in the Natchez District, Mississippi Territory in 1782, and
>outfitted himself for farming in 1786, based on the court records.
>
>I also have that he married Mary Carpenter, daughter of Richard
>Carpenter and Mary Fairchild, again from the court records. Mary
>Carpenter Flowers was listed in Richard Carpenter's will in 1788 in

>
>Other Flowers names that are listed are: Josiah Flower, Ezekiel

Her response to me was that the information came from the Carpenters
Encyclopedia of Carpenters 2009 data DVD info
http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/c/a/r/John-R-Carpenter
I am wondering if you could possibly send me what you have on Samuel
Flowers from the CD? I am not really following the Carpenters. I am
only interested in this one person, and it may be that he is not even
the sam person that is on your CD.
Thank you in advance for any help.

MORE:
I have that Dr. Samuel Flowers who married Mary Carpenter was
actually born in Pennsylvania in 1854. He and Mary married in
Pennsylvania in 1777 and the couple and her parents came to the
Natchez area about 1787 with other settlers from the Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania and New Jersey area. These settlers are often referred
to as "the Jersey Settlers". There is an organization of
descendants, three published volumes of genealogical information, and
a website that has some additional interesting data. See
http://www.natchezbelle.org/sw/ and http://www.djs.org/
I have a private tree on ancestry that I am using for research on the
various Flowers' lines. It is private only because it occasionally
contains "speculative" relationships that I am trying to prove or
disprove. I can send you an invitation to it if you are interested.
My public tree is here.
http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/784020/person/-1336194349
Right now it says that my ggg-grandfather William was born in South
Carolina because that is what the original research done by my
mother's cousin in the 1940s and 1950s contained, but I am
increasingly questioning this conclusion.
Thank you again for sending me this information. If you would like
an invitation to my private tree, let me know.

I believe that Samuel Flowers' son William may be my ggg-grandfather.
He married one or more unknown women and had ten children. I am sure
of the names of six of them. One of his sons, my gg-grandfather,
Benjamin Franklin Flowers, was born in 1826 in Yazoo County,
Mississippi.
If I am correct, William Flowers may have lived back and
forth in both Louisiana and Mississippi in the earlier years of his
life. Most of this information comes from early Natchez records,
including court records, and Spanish archives relating to Louisiana
during the period.
It is useful to have some understanding of the various entities
claiming and/or controlling the lower Mississippi River area in the
late 1700s. See

Dr. Joel Carpenter
MISC:
A strip of Revolutionary War hat band with a note about Dr. Joel Carpenter, from an aunt to Mary S Carpenter Worden dated April 22, 1900.
See image: RIN 17688 Joel Carpenter note.jpg
He was a surgeon in the Revolutionary War.
Joel moved with his father when he was young to Ashford Conn. Joel was in
Hardwick Mass. as early as March 25, 1752. He was a physician and he acted as surgeon's mate in the army.
On Dr. Joel Carpenter's gravestone in Ellington, Conn. it is stated that he
died Jan. 25, 1789, aged 69 years. The compiler thinks there must be some
mistake in the gravestone record, as the Hardwick records tend to show that he was about 21 years of age when in Hardwick. Therefore, the compiler is inclined to believe that the correct date of his birth was Aug. 11, 1732. Though the marriage indicates that his birth occured some years earlier than that, as his wife, Mary Ruggles was born in 1728.
He served in the Revolutionary war as surgeon. After leaving the army, he
lived for many years on a farm in Ellington, Conn. and practiced as surgeon and physician. Edwin Hubbard of Chicago has it that Joel was born in 1720, which the compiler thinks is a mistake. This Hubbard record of 1720 has caused the compiler much trouble and work to reconcile this Joel born aug. 1732 with Joel of 1720; we believe in Mr. hubbard as to accuracy in all of his antiquarian researches; but in this case we are obliged to take exceptions. It is very evident that this Joel was the son of Dan Carpenter of Ashford, Conn., where some of his descendants have jived to the present time. Dan was born in Swansea, mass., Feb. 26, 1708, If his son Joel was born in 1720, Dan would then hav been only 12 years of age. If born in 1731 he would have been 24 years of ge, which would appear very reasonable.
After his marriage it appears that he returned to Woodstock or Ashford, Conn., where his family were born. At the breaking out of the Revolutionary war he enlisted as surgeon, and probably served through the war. On his return he settled in Ellington, Conn., where he practiced medicine until his death, Jan. 25, 1789, aged 57 years. The marking of his gravestone was probably taken from the Hubbard record, which would make his age 69.

Notes for DAVID CARPENTER: (Submitted by John L. Carpenter of NH 1/21/2000).
Notes & Sources from Ann Carter Dennis, San Antonio, Tx., descendant of this
family. Her E-MAIL is: ADennis100@aol.com
David & his wife Azubah Came to Landgrove ,VT In August 1787 ,after their
daughter , Margaret was born, from Ashford,CT. In 1789 David bought land from
Captain Utley, for 60 pounds,the land north of Capt. Daniel Allen's
"improvements," and on the opposite side of the road. This land flows through
what is now known as "Carpenter Brook". David was born in 1759 in Ashford,CT
the youngest of 11 children of Uriah Carpenter and Sarah Hayward. Uriah Died
in the Havana Cuba Expedition led by the British in 1762. Uriah died in Havana
in the hot,pestilent summer that followed the Spanish surrender.
David the fatherless boy, was bound out as a apprentice and received no
formal education. He later stole his Indenture papers and hid them under a
rock. Years later he returned and found them intact still. In his teens he ran
away from his master and enlisted in the Continental Army. He was a guard at
the execution of Maj. Andre the British spy. returning to Ashford ,CT. he
taught himself to read, write, and keep accounts, and started the career as a
up-and -coming young farmer that he continued to be successfully in
Landgrove,VT. Over a period of years he acquired a large amount of land in
Landgrove and the nearby area of Weston,VT. On the Daniel Allen tract, which
he had bought from his father-in-law, built before 1800 a substantial new
house which served as a residence for his large family and a tavern for
travelers. The farm is now only access able by car from Weston,VT. since part
of the highway running through the farm is a impassable swamp. Only a cellar
hole remained today. A few shuddered feet south of it is the little family
cemetery where Daniel A. Carpenter wife Sibble and four children are buried.
David moved his family to Keene,N.H.in 1807, he settled near the present day
Wright House on the Hurricane Rd formerly called the " Westmoreland Rd. "
which is saltbox in construction.
In 1829 David and his son, Sumner (1802 - 1875), became the fiirst known
owners to open it as a tavern to accomadate the stagecoach travelers, lone
horsemen , and drovers as a as candle light time settled over the narrow,hilly
road. Business at the tavern flourished between 1820 - 1829. In 1825 David
moved down the hill to what now is called "The Dickinson Place on the
Dickinson Rd. he purchased the house and land from Thomas Dwinell Jr. In 1829
David sold the tavern to Samuel Streeter. In 1829 David passed the Keene
Property to his son Sumner and let him run the farm and continued to live
there untill his death. When David died he was one of the top ten property tax
payers in Keene,NH His property was worth forty-thousand dollars. He was one
of the top ten property holders in Keene, NH at the time of his death.

Dear Carpenters,
Yesterday I received official approval from the national DAR for placement of
a Revolutionary marker on the grave of my ancestor, David Carpenter. He was
born in January 1759 in Ashford, Windham County, Connecticut and died April
4, 1845 in Keene, Cheshire County, New Hampshire. David fought throughout
the entire Revolutionary War, participating in such events as the hanging of
Major Andre and the Battle of Saratoga with the subsequent surrender of
Burgoyne.
The ceremony will be held at the Washington Street Cemetery in Keene, NH,
hopefully, on July 21 at 1:00. I do hope that any nearby Carpenters or
interested friends will be able to join us. I would especially love to hear
from any of David's direct descendants.
Many thanks to John L Carpenter and, also, the Ashuelot Chapter of the DAR
for their local help in this presentation to honor David Carpenter.
Sincerely, Ann Carter Dennis San Antonio, TX.
NOTE: Ann Carter Dennis initiated the Search for David she is 4 th Grt Grand
daughter of this David. See the 3 pictures of this event in MISC PICS under
David Carpenter 18386.
John L. Carpenter of NH took the pictures and added David's Farm Pic. Which
is David 's last house.
E-MAIL (CORRECTIONS): Sun, 6 Aug 2000 From: ADennis100@aol.com
Dear John,
The DAR service for David Carpenter was very nice and certainly a due honor
for someone who had fought throughout the Revolution.
I appreciate your forwarding the information on his life to me. Quite a bit
of it is incorrect. David's life was very well documented with primary
sources, such as surviving letters, legal papers, wills, pensions, etc.
Secondary sources have been published throughout the years by well meaning
persons with incomplete knowledge.
You have been very kind in the past to let me correct some glaring mistakes.
We both know that when something is published incorrectly, the error
perpetuates itself for years.
Please allow me to correct two of the errors:
David Carpenter died in his own home. The year before he died he wrote that
he lived on four acres on the west side of Main Street in Keene. I have the
full inventory of the estate with each room of the house designated. It
appeared to be a beautiful home. He never lived with his son Caleb.
David may have given a home to his son Sumner, but, if so, Sumner did not
live there until he died. Sumner moved to Chester, VT and died there.
The story of the apprecticeship is not documented. We may need to designate
it as a legend. David Carpenter could definitely read and write, whether he
was self taught, I do not know, but I doubt it. His stepfather was a school
teacher. His step brother attended Dartmouth.
Thank you for allowing me to correct some of this, John. I feel like it is
so important for posterity.
I hate to burden you with such a lengthy response. I would like to send you
the speech that I made at the DAR presentation. Please let me know if you
have any questions. Sincerely, Ann.

CARPENTER, David
Vermont Historical Magazine, No XI, October 1867, p 197
Among the other early settlers in this town [Landgrove, Bennington County,
Vermont] was David CARPENTER. He was born in Connecticut in 1759, was a
poor boy; bound out to service at an early age; but as he became older,
dissatisfied with his usage, and determined to live; stole his indenture
[papers] from his master's desk and hid them under a stone on the premises
(where after he became of age he returned and found them safe) and left. He
soon after joined the Revolutionary army; was present and one of the guard at
the execution of Maj. ANDRE; and soon after the close of the war settled in
this town. His first child was born here [Landgrove, Bennington County,
Vermont], 26 August 1787 (the first birth on record in this town). He never
had the advantages even of a common school education; but by his own exertion
learned to read and write sufficient to keep his own accounts. [Excerpt from
a section on the history of Landgrove, Bennington County, Vermont.]

The index has one page listing for Azubah ALLEN as you probably know for

of them is the birth of your Azubah:

p. 133: "Azubah Daughter of Daniel Allen Jur & Mary his Wife born March

Now the Dan who md Hannah in 1705 may be the father of your Dan, father of
Azubah, but he seems too early. From this listing the first Dan was "of

William/1Carpenter of England and Rehoboth MA [ABC]. He settled at
Natchez, Adams Co. MS in the 1830s and lived there until his death. He
married first on 8 Jul 1830 to Ann Maria Hunt. She died on 11 Oct 1830
and he married on 4 Apr 1833 to Sarah E. Lloyd. He may have married a
third time, to Sarah Dodge. It is not known for certain whether he had
any children, but it does not appear that he did [NAMP]. He was a
Baptist and active in that denomination in Mississippi [RAM].

I would like to comment on Ira's marriages.
The marriage dates for Ann Maria Hunt and Sarah E. Loyd are correct. Sarah
was born September 15, 1805 and died on December 27, 1886 in Natchez, MS.
There is confusion as to Sarah Dodge. Sarah Dodge is buried with Ira and
Sarah in the Natchez City Cemetery behind a wonderful wrought iron fence and
gate. Her tombstone information states that she was born in Salem, MA in
1779 and died in Natchez on February 28, 1844. The fact that she was about
25 years older than Ira and also that she was "Sarah Dodge" and not "Sarah
Dodge Carpenter" indicates that she was not a third wife to Ira. I think
(maybe wrongly) that she is the mother of Sarah Loyd Carpenter who perhaps
went to Natchez with Ira and Sarah. Also, in Ira's genealogy please correct
the "Josiah5" to "Uriah5".
Ann Maria Hunt
DEATH: Probably died in Natches, MS.
