Subject: Gilbert E. Carpenter
Date: Thu, 17 May 2001
My great-grandfather was Gilbert E(benezer ?) Carpenter; born @1840-41 in Clinton Co.(?), MI.
He died October 14, 1895 in Victor Twp, Clinton Co., MI.  He married Elizabeth Jane Green in @1868.
His father was Isreal C. Carpenter - born April 9, 1807 in New York and died September 3, 1856 in DeWitt Twp, Clinton  Co.,  MI.  He is buried in the DeWitt Cemetery - DeWitt, Clinton Co., MI.
Isreal's first wife was Ruhamah (Bancroft?) who was born February 25, 1811 and died October 25, 1845 and also is buried in the DeWitt Cemetery next to Isreal.  From the 1850 Federal Census for Clinton Co., Mi, I would assume
that Owen (who was 8 years old then) was also Isreal and Ruhamah's son.
Since Louisa's son was 1 year old at the 1850 Census and was born in Ohio, could this John D. be her son from another marriage or is she a relative of Isreal's?
Is my Isreal Carpenter your Isaac Carpenter?  If so, please respond.

2196. Elizabeth Carpenter

Number 155-4 in the Timothy Carpenter book.

MISC: 26 June 1999.  Dear John,
I am researching my 3rd Great-grandmother, Elizabeth Carpenter, born
November 15, 1812 in either Orange or Westchester County, New York.  She
married Robert Lamoreaux (Lamoreux,Lamereux/Lamoureu/etc.)  December 12,
1832.  Elizabeth and Robert's first child, Henry Charles was born October
9, 1833 in Bedford, Westchester County, New York. Robert and Elizabeth had
five children born in New York and then moved to Indiana (Scott, Stueben
County, Indiana) where two more were born before Robert's death in 1855.
Thanks, Susan Cary  scary@infowest.com.

1008. Israel Carpenter

ISRAEL IS LISTED AS # 52-3 IN TIMOTHY CARPENTER DESCENDANTS.  He married his
cousin at her father's home, Rev. Elder Hunt officiating.
Israel and Hannah commenced their married life at Pompey, NY.  In 1808, they
moved to Marcellus and in 1811 further west to Harmony Twp., Chautauqua, NY.
In February of 1811, Israel purchased land in Twp. 1, range 13.  The 1850
Harmony census also lists in this household a Phillip BEDDOE, 16, and Charles
HARRINGTON, 16, both born in VT.  Israel and Hannah are each given in the
1870 census.  Hannah was a daughter of Josiah (17) and Sarah Benedict
Carpenter.
Son Reuben's name is recorded with different spellings, but in his father's
will it is given in this record.
Daughter Phebe is sometimes recorded as Phoebe, but Phebe is used on her
gravestone.
Israel's will ececuted Sept. 27, 1862 with a codicil dated July 6, 1866, was
probated at Mayville Jan. 24, 1872 (Vol.5, p.232).  Gravestones were in fair
condition in 1968.  Pioneer Cemetery is on land Israel dedicated to the
community.  When the cemetery was placed in use, the remains of various
pioneers were removed from the old Carpenter Burial ground, located on the land
of Josiah (17) Carpenter, and re-interred in Pioneer Cemetery.  No record is
availible of those remains removed from--or left in--the old burial ground.
The compiler (of Timothy Carpenter Descendants) was recently told the remains
of only those whose idenity was known at the time were removed.  Field stones
still remained in the old cemetery in 1970, indicating the remains of both
adults and children are there.  The old Carpenter Burial ground was located in
1970 to the rear of the barn on a knoll overlooking the flatlands along Goose
Creek.  A Fairbanks family then owned the property.

BOOK- GENEOLOGY: Charles Lorain Carpenter, Rear Admiral, USN-Ret.,

04654.
Buried in the Carpenter Hill Cemetery in Turin.
Timothy evidently moved from the Johnsville, Rensselaer county, NY area to St.
Johnsville, Montgomery county NY, where he was a farmer for a number of years.
His great-grandson Duane records Timothy also had a farm in Fulton county, NY.
About 1850 he moved to Turin in Lewis county NY, and that when he was past past
age 70 he one time walked from St. Johnsville to Turin.  Timothy and Sarah sold
their farm near Johnsville in 1850 prior to moving to Turin.  On 1 Jan 1860,
Sarah, as executrix of Timothy's will, sold land in Turin.
Sarah stayed in Turin after Timothy's death and according to the 1875 census,
was then living there with a family named Hasey (or Hayes).
Timothy's birth is given as 3-30-1773 in a family record given to
great-grandson Duane Carpenter.  His gravestone gives his birth as 1771.  Some
records give the place of Timothy's birth as Dutchess county.  Note: county
boundaries were changed in the 1790s.
Timothy's will mentions his widow, Sarah, and sons James, John, & Roswell.  The
cemetery where Timothy is interred is sometimes referred to as the Tug Hill
Cemetery.  It is located where he resided.  The cemetery where Phebe and her
daughters are interred was overgrown with brush when inspected by Laurel Clark
in the early 1930s.

1013. Francis Carpenter

#61-3 in the T. Carpenter book.
FRANCIS is mentioned as the second son in his mother's will.  Some of the data
on his family is from the FERRIS family Bible as supplied by Mrs. Rachel W.
COTTRELL.  The 1840 census of Pittstown lists the family as then consisting of
two males, age 20-30, and one male, age 40-50, plus one female, 30-40.  The
1850 census lists the family at house #397, family #446, then consisting of
ESTHER, age 69, and son BENJAMIN, age 26; in house #398, family #447, is son
GILBERT, age 51, and his wife, Lucinda, 54.
On Oct. 15, 1844, ESTHER petitioned for the settlement of her husband's estate
through a lawyer, Perry Warren.  A bond was posted and son JOHN was named
administrator.  A controversial settlement was made Feb. 23, 1847; the orginal
estate consisted of a 500-acre farm and $1500.00 cash.  ESTHER'S will, dated
Apr. 19, 1852 and probated Sep. 5, 1853, mentioned FRANCIS as the second son.
Gravestones were in poor condition when inspected in 1969 by the compiler of

#63-3 in the T. Carpenter book.
ELIHU came to the West Ellery are of Chautauqua County in 1822 via the Erie
canal from Albany to Buffalo, and by horseback from there to Ellery.  The 1825
census of Ellery lists his family as consisting of five males and four females.
*However, subsequent data by his daughter SUSANNA indicates he did not bring
his family to the area until about 1827.  This would indicate he returned east
for them.  The 1850 Ellery census gives PATIENCE'S birth as 1788 in VT.
*** Some records show data other than is recorded above in regard to the
children of this family.
ELIHU'S will, dated 7 July 1851 and probated on 3 March 1863, is at the
courthouse in Mayville (Vol. 4, Pg. 106).  Family tradition indicates he was
buried in Ellery but this could not be verified by 1976.  His wife's grave was
found in Erieville Village, N.Y.
