Temp - Read the Notes Carpenter
NOTE:
Descendants match the genetic profile for Group 13 of the Carpenter Cousins Y-DNA Project.
To temporarily put this Group 13 together as a whole, several temporary "person" inserts have been made.
PARENTAGE: UNKNOWN
Elias maybe the grandfather or great grandfather? SEE RESEARCH THOUGHTS ... below.
Placements are very speculated at this time. Research pending with Group 13. Assumption is that the Carpenter ancestor of Group 13 came to America from England and settled in Virginia. Whether they stopped in Barbados is not known. It is not known if he was transported or birth righted to Virginia. Assume this is all general areas of research. JRC
CENSUS: 1790 US Census - a thought/speculation ... If this was an older Gentleman, could he be related to the Nash County NC cluster? Need more info.

722 - Bertie Precinct, after 1738, County formed from Chowan as a part of Albemarle County; located on the west side of the Chowan River, bound on the north by the Virginia Line and on the south by the Albemarle Sound to the Roanoke River, then called the Morotuck River as far as Welch’s Creek; Winsor becomes county seat in 1774

1758 - the population of Edgecombe County was: [1] 1674 whites over 16 years of age; [2] 1091 blacks over the age of 12 and, [3] including children, establishes a total population of about 5000.
