Subject: Proof Thomas M & James Warren Carpenter were brothersBack in 1998 some of the LIPHAM descendants and I worked to prove that Lucinda (Carpenter) Lipham's father,
Thomas M. Carpenter b. Apr 23, 1810 GA was brother to James Warren Carpenter b.1813 GA. Yesterday as I was
finally transcribing some more of the letters that James Warren Carpenter's wife Sallie had kept; I ran across this
letter from Simon Simeon Lipham. If anyone has an email addy for GWEN WILLIAMS, please forward to her:Letter by Simon LIPHAM (b.1873) proves that
THOMAS M. CARPENTER & JAMES WARREN CARPENTER of Henry County GA circa 1830 were brothers.
