12023. Joseph Bishop Carpenter
Number 5109 in the Carpenter Memorial. No family listed.
NOTE: Civil War Veteran. "Joseph B. Carpenter of Providence county enlisted Sept. 19, 1861 in company I, enrolled in Pawtucket, R. I., and was mustered into service Aug. 29, 1862: was admitted to Army Square Hospital, D. C., April 12, 1862, returned to duty Oct. 15, 1864 and was mustered out. He served in the 4th Regiment."
It is interesting to note that his wife died in Feb 1861 and he joined up in Sept 1861. I wonder about a child? Did the wife die in child birth?
Unnamed child born on 20 Mar 1843, no further details. Probabbly died young?
Listed in the 1880 US Census with daughter Jane and her husband WIlliam H. Carpenter.
