Subject: Re: Carpenter Cousins Y-DNA Project - 143395 and 120641OKay - you are making me think. this is what I am thinking of doing. I was thinking of documenting the case for a family with the history of military service, even though they are quakers. And using the fact that James was disowned for marring out of faith, and yet did not rejoin for 15 years - so how staunch of a quaker was he? Read on and then tell me if you think I have a good argument. And if you can help me identify who Thomas Carpenter is who lived near him in Harrison, Westchester County, NY and served with him in the war I would appreciate that. :

Both James and Thomas show up together in the 4th Reg. and also on all Census data in Westchester County NY, town of Harrison (1790, 1800, 1810) I am not sure who Thomas Carpenter is - but think he is one of James's older brother's sons. He is the only James that is showing up on the census data. They lived in this county and township all their lives. The DAR said that James was such a common name - how do I know this is mine. However they fully agreed with my documentation that James Carpenter, born in 1754 was my gg grandfather. Both James and Thomas are found in the book under pensions and Elijah is also listed both with the 1st regiment and with pensions.I've written to the county archives and they can only find one document. It was a journal entry recording the fact that James had given someone a tour of the Purchase Meeting cemetery in preparation for a family burial. They said that many of their earlier materials had been destroyed in the Rev. War. They indicated that many battles were fought in the area.
I have Rev. Doc. from the Gov. Archives. showing him in "sick bay" at Ft. Ticonderoga 1775. I have proof that the Purchase Meeting house was used as a field hospital.
More of what I know: The children seemed to be spaced three years apart
Children include: Betsy 1780, James Townsend 1783, Enoch 1786, Stephen 1788-1788, Ezra 1789, Abigail 1792, Job 1794, Edna 1797, Townsend 1800Perhaps joining in 1796 would allow Betsy to marry. I notice they did not ask that she be admitted. Or the younger lads. Maybe girls were not included. Betsy married David Carpenter son of Joseph and Elizabeth Carpenter. Joseph is James' older brother.
Freelove was a member of the Purchase Monthly Meeting, Westchester County, NY. (Quaker) Her parents were Benjamin and Elizabeth (Weyman) Townsend. Benjamin was born in 1814 and was the son of Daniel Townsend and Freelove Dickenson daughter of Samuel Dickenson, His mother was Elizabeth (Howland) Dickenson daughter of Mayflower passengers and pilgrims, John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley. Elizabeth Tilley's parents John and Joan (Hurst) Tilley were also on the Mayflower. They died that first hard winter leaving 14 year old Elizabeth an orphan.
Benedict Carpenter and James Carpenter are listed as the bondsmen for settling Benjamin Townsend's estate in 1775, showing the families are interconnected.Notes from the Purchase Monthly meeting: James and his wife Freelove requested that their three children be admitted as members of the Purchase Monthly Meeting 02-03-1796. James aged 13, Enoch 10, and Ezra 7.
