BILL LIPHAM whose great great grandpa was a brother to Thomas Newton LIPHAM who married Lucinda CARPENTER supplied the following information. See "NOTE" below.
"I don't know if this is correct or not.... I have been researching for about 20 years now. First 10 were just haphazard and when time permitted as I was working, but ever since i retired 10 years ago, I have been trying to get these files "straightened out", but it is a tedious and time consuming process trying to follow up on leads, statements, etc. I find that a lot of them are contridictory so that is another thing that "holds me up". Oh well Maybe one of these days something might fall i n place (doubt it but am trying to be optimissic (SP?). No, I haven't sent anything to anyone except my "relatives". Have seen many occasions where some of the recipients of information turn around and "send" this information to people who then charge other people to join their websites in order to get the information which was initially submitted free. I am in contact with quite a few relatives and between all of us, we have exceeded in what we thought we could find out."

Hi, to all,
I finally went to the Health Department today and got the death certificate for Martha "Mattie" Carpenter, wife of Zachariah Thomas Carpenter. These are the parents of John Warren Carpenter.
She is listed as Martha Teaugue Carpenter. She was born on November 4, 1850, and died on November 21, 1930 at 7:15 p.m. Cause of death is listed as acute indigestion -- probably a heart attack. Her father is listed as Henderson Johnson. and he is listed as being born in Clay County. The mother's maiden name is not known. She was buried on November 23, 1930, at Concord.
This still presents a dilemma of sorts. Was her maiden name Martha Teague Johnson? Or Was she married before, hence Martha Johnson Teague? Sure wish I could find the marriage license.
