Nehemiah Carpenter
Number 307 in the Carpenter Memorial. Page 84
He resided in Walkill and Goshen in Orange county, NY. Probably not married
per the above record. Ancestor File lists a family for him though.
WILL: Will dated 1 Dec 1789 and proven 17 Jul 1790. Wills to sister Hannah,
brothers Michael, William, James and Benjamin, nephew Solomon, eldest son of
Michael and William son of William. NOTE: Does not mention wife or children!
MILITARY:
He enlisted from Goshen in the Revolutionary war, was appointed by Gen. James
Clinton in 1776 as Quartermaster of his regiment. He was in the assault of
Fort Montgomery in 1777. was taken prisoner and exchanged 25 Oct 1780, and was
appointed an Ensign. He was honorably discharged 3 Nov 1783.
He was a member of the "Society of the Cincinnati"; his signiture was
on the roll. In a letter from John Schuyler, Secretary of the NY State
Society of the Cincinnati he says:
"While he was a prisoner, being a good writer, he made money in writing for the
British officers. On one occasion he was called upon to get a drink of water
for one of the officers: the officer asked him if the water was poisoned, and
being very thristy himself he asked for the the cup, and he drank a very heavy
drink himself."
It is claimed that the foregoing record belongs to Nehemiah b. 29 June 1757,
the son of Nehemiah of Jamaica. The compiler of the Carpenter Memorial thinks
this is a mistake and that it belongs to Nehemiah, son of Solomon of Goshen, b.
abt 1750. It is evident that the latter served in the war and the State
Records refer to him when they speak of "Carpenter, Nehemiah, Ensign: appointed
29 June 1781, to date from 5 June 1779 when mustered as Ensign: late
Quartermaster of the 5th NY returned from captivity." From official
records Nehemiah Carpenter, Ensign in 2nd NY Regiment: Phillip Cortland,
Colonel:Robert Cockran, Lt. Col., and Nicholas Fish, Major, 1777 to 1780.
The "Revolution Pledge Association" of the Goshen Precinct which contained
Goshen, Chester, Warwick, and a part of Blooming Grove, was signed by the
folowing named CARPENTERs: James, Moses, Benjamin, Daniel, Samuel, Solomon,
Michael and William in 1775. In Cornwell precinct were the signitures of John,
Benjamin, Timothy, Joseph Jr, John, Elijah, William and John - three Johns.
There can be added those that signed in Salisbury.

Dear John:
Found this at the Fonda Archives today in a book entitled "Calendar of Wills". I love it because it is a collection of way back stuff that we can no longer actually get our hands on.
I'm researching the Dunning family who lived in the same area as my Carpenter family, ie. Hope and Northville, Hamilton Co. NY. Came across this:
Will of Jacob Dunning written 1770 Oct 15, probated Nov. 1, 1770 of Goshen precint, Orange Co., NY yeoman, mentions son John, Jacob and Benjamin, dau.. Bathsheba, Mehitabel and Mary. Real estate some in Wawayanda Patent and personal property. Exec. 3 sons Witnesses: James Carpenter of Orange co, schoolmaster, John Conkling and Elizabeth Dunning.
Don't know if you had all those Orange Co. Carpenter's or not but if you do, here is a tidbit for James..at least now we know he was a schoolmaster!

He was in the Revolutionary war with Nehemiah, his brother, at the time that
Fort Mongomery was taken. Benjamin was barely made his escape by throwing his
gun into the boat which was several feet from the shore, and plunging into the
river, caught hold of the edge of the boat, and thus made his escape. He was
very athletic and active.

There is no doubt, if Thompson is correct, that it was this Nehemiah who moved
to Dutchess county, NY, but returned to Jamacia, LI and settled his father's
estate. He was in Westchester county in 1783. He served in a military
company in 1776. He, in his will, mentions son Nehemiah, daughters Elizabeth,
Rebecca and Abagail, and Richard, son of my daughter Sarah. The will was
proved 17 June 1821.

the book: Genealogical and Historical Record of the Carpenter Family."

In a letter written in 1854 indicates that Joseph Carpenter went from
Hopewell, NJ to Canada with most of the family. The descendants principally
reside in the vincinity of Toronto. The letter was by Charles S. Carpenter,
son of Samuel H. Carpenter, grandson of Joseph Carpenter.
If this is true, this Joseph probably was born after 1731 and closer to 1750.

Benedict Carpenter
Number 320a in the Carpenter Memorial. Page 86
No family listed.
This may be the Benedick Carpenter who joined himself to the Society of Friends in the 1740s and documented several times in the Shresbury NJ Meeting records as a member and being acceptable. He also had affiliation with the Philadelphia, PA Friends. His name last appears tenth month of 1779. While cited as of Monmouth, NJ, he is also cited as of Chester, PA. Many of the records found indicate his visiting. But none seem to indicate birth, marriage or family association. A further detailed search and review is needed.

Archelus Carpenter
Number 320b in the Carpenter Memorial. Page 86
Family is number 142 on page 159
COMMENT: Of the Cotleb Zimmerman line per James Usher. James Usher was wrong, however. Further research has confirmed why Usher mislabeled certain descendants.
SEE: Genealogical and Historical Record of the Carpenter Family, by James Usher
Page 30 regarding The Carpenter Family of Long Island and NY.
Archelus is listed as Archibald in the Usher record.
Apparently this line was a Loyalist thus not deserving to be of the winning side of
Carpenters.
