BIRTH: Oct 1831.
CHILDREN: Emma Rosetta CARPENTER AND Emmazetta CARPENTER are most likely the

Unfortunately this is a submission that I made some years ago, and I am trying
to fix the mistake now.
The information for Andrew and Rebecca is incorrect and had been passed to my
by a family member.....who
said I think their names were Andrew Carpenter (correct) and Rebecca
Paul......last name is correct but
the first name is still unknown and I do not at this point know of any Paul
family members in Roane Co. W
VA. When I found an Andrew and Rebecca Carpenter, I assumed that that was the
correct
individual.......I didn't do my homework and now I am finding that it is a
great struggle to find
anything relating to that particular Carpenter/ Paul union. The only one that
I have found to date is
William Carpenter who married a Nelly Carpenter in 1838. Much too early to be
correct. William's
middle initial is A.....could have been nicknamed Andy if his middle name
fit......but still doesn't work
because there would have been several other children from that marriage. They
are no where to be found
in the county as of 1855. It is my belief that it had to be a young marriage
because there is only one
other sibling , a sister, and I don't even know who she is. Family tells be
that Emma and her sister
were orphaned and raised by a neighbor....it is more like divorced or
abandoned, I think.
There is an Andrew Carpenter , son of Joseph and Anna Miller Carpenter who had
land grants in the Putnam
Co. area. He gives or sells property to an Alexander A. Carpenter in 1853, and
obtains another land
grant in 1855, the yr that Emma was born. From that date until 1860, I know
nothing of him. He as left
the area (Civil War unrest) and is alone in Berrien Co., Michigan. By 1870 he
is married to Valira and
has children.
Members of Andrews family fought for the south and ended up in prison camp.
One brother, Peter, married
for about 12 yrs , has 4 sons and is divorcing his wife....her complaint is the
activities that he is
involved in with guerrilla warfare against the U.S.
It is odd that Andrew seems to have chosen a different route and went north.
Whether he differed in his
political beliefs with his brother, I have no idea.... or maybe (26 yrs in the
1860 Census) he just
deserted the Paul woman.......anyway...another bad note is that the Census
taker for Putnam Co., in 1860
took only initials with the surnames and to top it off the page is so bleached
out that it can hardly be
read (could be bad photography). Terry found it first. We still can not be
sure that it is her, but she
is listed as E Carpenter, H/H , two daughters, one 6 and the other E.M. 5
(possibly Emma) and an E. PAUL
female is living with her. It most probably is her so might be Elizabeth Paul
and her sister Eliza
Paul. Cabell Co., Courthouse was occupied by Union Soldiers, who , for
what ever reason, destroyed
the marriage records. I have not seen any Court divorce for them as
yet......so you see I am in quite a
dilemma trying to find any real evidence. If any thing can go wrong on a
search, it has happened here.
I am hoping to find some scrap of something somewhere that will put the two of
them together.
It is so Very Very thoughtful of you to have gone to so much trouble on my
behalf!
Thanks to you both,
Sandy
DEATH: Died between 25 May 1855 and August 1855.

Subject: RE: Benjamin Carpenter married Mary Bailey on October 31, 1848 in Indiana
Good Morning John!Thanks for the advice.
I have ordered my DNA Kit. Here is the latest work on my Carpenter Line:I can’t seem to find any clues to my line of Carpenters any further back than Vigo County, Indiana on October 31, 1848 when Benjamin Carpenter (my g-grandfather) married Mary Ann Bailey. I visited Vigo and Sullivan Counties again in November and found a few post-marriage details but can find no burial place for Ben and Mary. Ben married Rebecca Schoonover in Sullivan County on Sept. 27, 1877. Don't know what happened to Mary Ann. Anyway, here is some information I have so far.
Ben and Mary's children were:
1849 Harriet Evelyn born in Vigo Co.
1852 Alonzo born in Vigo Co.
1854 Mariah born in Vigo Co.
1856 Sarah born (?) Indiana (I would assume Vigo Co.)
1858 George born in Vigo Co.
*1863 Charles Aaron (My grandfather) born in Vigo Co.
1877 Ben Marries Rebecca
???? Dennis is bornI found a record of a Benjamin Carpenter who died on Jan. 29, 1901 in Hymera, Indiana (Sullivan County) but no burial information. My cousin thinks this is not my Benjamin but the places and ages seem to work For me so I still think it is. I shall continue.
