The Settlers of the Beekman Patent by Frank Doherty – Vol. 3 (974.733 H2do V. 3) - Chapter 12, pages 240 to 259.
On pages 241 and 242 are:
1. BARNARD4 CARPENTER, (John3, Benjamin', Joseph') was born 26 June 1723 and m. Elsie Lake 30 Aug. 1744 at Swansea, the records noting that they were both of Swansea. (SVR 169]. She was poss. the dau. of John and Susanna (Case) Lake of Swansea and born 1 June 1721. [TAG 12:17ff]. Her brother James Lake came to Beekman. Barnard and Elsie Carpenter had two ch. born in Swansea and they later removed to the Dover area of the Beekman Patent. Barner Carpenter was taxed in Beekman from 1759 through 1762 [Baptist Ch. records indicate that he remained through at least 1766] with an assessment of £1 in 1760. The History of Dover Township 40, states that Barabus (sic) Carpenter was one of the first organizers of the Dover Baptist Church. Alse Carpenter joined the Dover Church 12 Sept. 1761 and a Sarah Carpenter, probably the daughter, joined that church 9 Dec. 1764.
The Dover Baptist Church records have some notes on Barnard Carpenter: "3 April 1766; Then Barnabas Carpenter accused Benjamin Sealy that he refused to come to an honest Settlement of Accounts with him; wherefore the Church sent two bretheren (viz) Thomas Sheldon and Ebenezer Marcy to enquire thereinto." "1 May 1766; Thomas Sheldon and Ebenezer Marcy made returns to the Church, that they having attended to the above mentioned case of Carpenter and Sealy: heard both their Pleas, and examined their Books, and found not anything whereof to accuse sd Sealy."
It seems that Barnard's wife Alice had problems of her own with the Sealys: Under the heading of "Dealings With offending Members" the records note:
"6 Nov. 1770; Sister Alse Carpenter, having heretofore talked unbecomingly on purpose to afflict Sister Sealy, the which She neglected to make Suitable Retraction therefor, tho requested thereto; the Church Laboured with her therefor at which she reflected greatly."
"3 Jan. 1771; Sister Carpenter said that in the abovesaid Labour she was in a wrong spirit; the Church requested her that wherein she had talked unbecomingly to afflict Sister Sealy, She should confess to Sister Sealy. Benjamin Sealy, having too much strong drink, the Church Laboured with him therefore."
"4 April 1771; It was a vote of the Church to send a letter of Admonition to Benjamin Sealy for his taking too much strong drink. And another to Sister Alse Carpenter, for her misconduct towards Sister Sealy."
"3 Oct. 1771; Benjamin Sealy and Alse Carpenter; both excluded from the fellowship of the Church, for not making Retraction for things alledged against them in page 25."
Barnard Carpenter was a customer at the Merritt store on Quaker Hill in 1767. (DCSB A:225]. We have no further records of Barnard or Alice Carpenter.
Children:
i. Sarah, b. 16 April 1744.
ii. Hannah, b. 16 Feb. 1746.
iii. ?John. A John Carpenter of Dover was mentioned at a meeting of the Committee of Safety of Livingston Manor on Friday 1 Nov. 1776. "Appeared Pettus Coen who says that the pass he had and showed to the Committee in Dutches4 County Signed by Dirck Jansen was written by John Carpenter in Dover[;] lives near Hendrick Coen and Bastion Wheeler, and that he signed Jansens name to it and he also asked said Coer to go with him to the regulars saying that it would be best to go there; Jury Johs Wheeler, Johg Jury Wheeler, Richard Gillet & Peter Palmer also said to him that they woul go to the regulars." [RECORD 1929:333]. John Carpenter was a customer at the Duncan store in Dover. In 1799 he had no real propert and his personal assets were valued at $18. John was in Pawling in 1800 at 0-0-0-1-0 and 4-0-0-1-0. A John Carpenter d. 10 Nov. 1819 "aged about 76" in Pittstown, Rens. Co. He was formerly of DC. [MDDC 26]. [We must add that in 1810 there were 7 John Carpenters in the DC census].
iv. ?Barnard. A Barnard Carpenter m. Mabell Granis 16 Dec. 1779 at New Fairfield, CT.
v. ?Silas; A Silas Carpenter m. Catherine Lovall 18 Dec. 1777 at the Amenia Church.
vi. Isaiah, b. 1760. Isaiah, son of Barnard and Alse Carpenter d. Aug. 1761, age 9 months and was bd. in an unnamed ground one mile east of Webatuck. [OGDC 37].
Elsie or Alice Lake
She was possibly the daughter of John and Susanna (Case) Lake and born 1 June 1721 [TAG 12:17ff]. Her brother James Lake came to Beekman.
See more on her under the Beekman book cite in her husband's notes.

John Carpenter
Gene Zubrinsky has the following notes for John. See father's notes.
Children of John and Sarah (Hillard) Carpenter, born at Swansea:[]
iii. John Carpenter, b. 4 Jan. 1728/9; d. (probably Milton [not Stillwater]), Saratoga Co., N.Y., between 25 Jan. 1804 (will) and 13 March 1804 (probate);[] m. (1) Rehoboth 23 Oct. (int. 16 Sept.) 1749 Judah/Judith Horton of Rehoboth; m. (2) 16 July 1757, perhaps in Dutchess Co., N.Y., Ruth Horton; m. (3) Ann _____.[]

Old notes follow.
Number 647 in the Carpenter Memorial. Page 124.
Family on page 239 (# 248). Children inconsistencies in birth years and duplication.
John only married twice per corrective notes on page 837 of the CM.
His first wife was Judith Harlow, not Judith Horton, per corrections on p. 837.
(SEE UPDATE ON HER! SHE WAS A HORTON who married a Harlow.)
He first moved from Swansea, MA, to New London, CT, thence to Stafford, CT in
1760 where he died in 1816. He was 88 years old when he died.
He was one of the first settlers of Stafford.
It was probably this John Carpenter who, then of Monson, MA, who enlisted as a
private in Capt. Freeborn's Company and served 18 days in the Lexington alarm.
1982 Update: John was married three times as orginally reported in the CM.
He married Ruth Horton (1734-1777) per the "John Carpenter (1775-1859) -
Supplement to the Palmer-Burlingham Genealogy" by Dale C. Kellogg, Elyria,
OH in 1982.
MARRIAGE: Alternate marriage dates given:
Marr:23 Oct 1749 to Spouse:Judith HORTON-1004
Marr:16 Jul 1757 to Spouse:Ruth HORTON-388
UPDATE:
99-06-07 12:04:55 EDT From: sharilyn@northcoast.com (Sharilyn Whitaker).
She updated first spouse and addtional children's names by working with Horton
researchers.
2001 Update: see Mary Loomis' notes. The marriage to Mary Loomis seems to belong to another John Carpenter.
The Beekman Patent book (vol 3 - page 240) indicates John Carpenter's farm was taxed at Beekman in Feb. and June 1761. This was either this John or his father John. I think it was this John! See more on this John below. (BOOK:)

4. JOHN4 CARPENTER, (John3, Benjamin2, Joseph') was b. 4 Jan. 1728/9 and m. 1st. 23 Oct. 1749 at Rehoboth, Bristol Co., MA, Judith Horton. [The Carpenter Memorial, 124-5, has most of his history incorrect. He was of Beekman and Crum Elbow, at least for a time, as is proved by Bible records in Rev. Pens. R-1716 and W-18877). Judith Horton d. 26 Jan. 1755 and he m. 2nd, 16 July 1757, Ruth Horton who was b. 11 Nov. 1734 and d. 4 Oct. 1777, prob. a sister to Judith. We have not identified the Hortons. Carpenter 124 claims he m. Mary Loomis 5 June 1755 and had a son John b. 15 April 1756 who m. (1) Prudence Gallup and (2) Sarah Orcutt. This is possible, given the two years between the marriages to the Hortons, but the bible records do not include either Mary Loomis or the son John. John Carpenter was taxed as 'farm' in Beekman from Feb. 1761 through June the same year, after which he was taxed in Crum Elbow from Feb. 1762 through Feb. 1763.
His son Barnard stated in his pension application that he was b. Dec. 1756 (sic for 1757) in Nine Partners, indicating that John was here before 1762. Carpenter Memorial, which correctly identified Judith Horton, claims he died 3 Oct. 1816 at Stafford, CT. Saratoga County NY surrogate records show that his will was dated 25 Jan. 1804 and proved 13 March 1804. He mentioned a wife Ann which would indicate a 3rd marriage. He gave sons David, Barnard, Thomas, Benjamin and John $100 each and to children of dau. Sarah Robins, dec'd, $50. He gave to dau. Judith Weed $50; to Dau. Ruinah Williams $10 and to her dau. Elizabeth Foster $40. To dau. Ruth Olney $50. Reuben Weed Jr. was executor. [Data from Rev. Pens. R-1716].

Family Information
from the book
Russia Union Church, 110th Anniversary, 1820-1930
The family profiles below come from the small book "Russia Union Church, 110th Anniversary, 1820 - 1930." Jane Dieffenbacher, Fairfield Town Historian, will be transcribing the family profiles from the second half of this rare book over the course of the summer. The small Town of Russia is on the western half of Herkimer County and borders the Towns of Deerfield, Trenton and Remson in neighboring Oneida County and the Towns of Ohio, Newport and Norway within Herkimer County.
In the middle of the book is this notation. "The foregoing pages constitute the history of the Russia Union Church as far as can be ascertained. The history of some of the families connected with it have been compiled. Time and space will not permit to complete the family sketches in this booklet. To those who have graciously furnished material in any way we are grateful. Printed books, family Bibles, written records, documents, letters, papers and clippings have been used as sources of information by the author, Rev. Roger F. Williams."

E-MAIL: Wed, 21 Jun 2000 From: "Dorothy Muirhead"
Happy Day. This is the one I want. In the Scidmore Genealogy she is
listed as being born 11 August 1758 and died 19 February 1850 at the home
of her daughter Mary Foote in Saratoga Springs. I did have the name of her
father as Warren but did not have Rebecca's maiden name. Zophar & Hannah
are my 4th GGP. I have some Hortons in my line also.
I would like to finish out the Carpenter line if you can and also the
Horton line. Thank you so much for answering. DorothyBOOK: Scidmore (Skidmore) Genealogy published by Warren Skidmore in 1968 in
Akron, Ohio.

It has been suggested that Patience died in Waterford. Her death announcement, published in the Caledonian on November 28, 1843, states she died in St. Johnsbury. Some transcripts of burial records, available online, may have been confused with death records.
Vital statistics records of Rehoboth, Massachusetts, indicate Patience married Caleb Wheaton there on January 20, 1793.

Memorial #: 119169061
Bio:
68 years old. It has been suggested that Caleb was born either August 6, 1763 or August 16, 1762. It has also been suggested that Caleb's wife was the person born August 16th, not Caleb himself.
It has been suggested that Caleb was born in Rehoboth, Massachusetts, and also that he was born in Seekonk, Massachusetts. Seekonk was incorporated in 1812 from section of the original settlement of Rehoboth. The gravestone is engraved "A native of Seekonk". In accordance with Find A Grave standards, Seekonk is used above as the birthplace.
Some accounts of the early history of St. Albans state he came to the area with a group of other early settlers from Rehoboth Massachusetts around 1786. Rehoboth vital statistics records indicate Caleb and Patience Wheaton, both of Rehoboth, married there on January 20, 1793.
Caleb owned farmland in Newark, Vermont. While some researches believe he died on his farm in Newark, others believe he died in Waterford.

Notes for BENJAMIN CARPENTER:
Without any formal education he took a prominent part in the Orginazation
of VT; he helped form its laws, was a Lt. Governor, served several years as
Censor, held the office of Lt. Col in the Revolutionary War, was a deacon in
the Baptist Church and sometimes preached Gospel.
A founder of the first constitution and government of the state of Vermont.
First Lt. Gov. State of Vermont 1779.
He died a strong minded and stature above six feet tall and of 200 pounds in
weight at age 78 yrs., 10 months, and 12 days old at the time of his death,
March 29, 1804.
He was a self taught man he never had any formal education.. He was a LT Col
in the Rev. War.
A party of New Yorkers once attempted to arrest Lt. Gov. Carpenter, and one
Major Shepardson, But it failed, probably seeing his stature they probably
didn't think they would be able to handle him. A second attempt was made to
arrest him by the NY Militia, but it was a repeated failure. A company of
Torries and New Yorkers were formed for this purpose.

The Hon. Benjamin CARPENTER,
was a member of the first convention in Vermont, held at Dorset in 1770.
In those trying times with the brave sons of the Green Mountains, when
they had not only to oppose the powerful state of New York, the claims
of New Hampshire and Massachusetts, the tories and Yorkers at home, and
the menacing threats of Congress abroad: but the power of his Majesty's
legions in war, that brave patriot with an allowance of three days'
provisions upon his back, would cross the Green Mountains on foot by
marked trees, to attend the legislature at Bennington, for the purpose
of devising ways and means of defense against all the enemies of the
state.
As delegate to the Assembly, as a member of the Council of Safety, as
Lieut. Governor of the State, he deservedly holds a conspicuous place in the
early history of the state.
Upon a large white marble tombstone in the west part of Guilford, is the

While Rehoboth vital records fail to list a Benjamin Carpenter born in the
mid 1820s, someone of that name was born at adjacent Swansea on 17 May 1725,
which fits perfectly with the Guilford man's age at death. The son of Edward5
(Benjamin4, Joseph3, William2-1) and Elizabeth (Wilson) Carpenter, he
married at Providence, R.I., 13 October 1745, Amey/Anne Carpenter (both of
Rehoboth); the births of their first four children are recorded at Warren, R.I.

The Whigs, united with those opposed to the claims of the State of New York, that and the succeeding year, out-voted the Tories and the Yorkers. In 1776 the town voted to pay the expenses of Benjamin CARPENTER, their delegate to the Westminster convention, in 1775.
In his early life he seems to have been of a roving disposition, for his ten children were born in five different towns of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. He removed to Guilford with John BARNEY and others, from Rehoboth, in 1770, six years after the town was granted to the original proprietors, where he became an ardent patriot and one of the foremost advocates of separate State sovereignty for Vermont. Aside from the offices mentioned in his epitaph, he was also one of the council of thirteen appointed to revise the State constitution, in 1785. He was descended from the patriarch, William CARPENTER, who came from the South of England in the little ship Bevis in 1638, with his wife and four sons. It is interesting to observe that Richard DUMMER, an ancestor, probably, of the DUMMER for whom Dummerston and Fort Dummer were named, was a passenger by the same ship. Settling first in Weymouth, Mass., the CARPENTER family removed to Rehoboth with the first settlers of that town, in 1643. Joseph CARPENTER, one of the four sons born in England, and great-grandfather of Benjamin C., became a constituent member of the Baptist church in Swanzey, the oldest church of that order in Massachusetts, in 1669. The late Senator Matt. CARPENTER, of Wisconsin, and the late Hon. Abbott LAWRENCE, of Boston, were among his numerous posterity. Cyrus, the youngest of Benjamin CARPENTER's ten children, was born in Killingly, Conn., in 1769, and was brought as an infant by his parents to Guilford, where he spent the remainder of his life. He was a hardworking farmer and a much respected member of the Baptist church. He reared thirteen children, all of whom lived to have families of their own. His first wife, Betsey BARNEY, was the mother of four sons and six daughters, all of whom made their homes in other States. The fourth son, Mark, however, spent the later years of his life in his native county, serving the Baptist churches in Brattleboro, West Dummerston and South Windham successively, as pastor. He died at his residence in Townshend in 1882, at the age of eighty, leaving five sons scattered in various parts of the world. Cyrus's second wife, Betsey PUTNAM, was the mother of two sons and one daughter. The eldest of these three children, Edwin B., resided in the old homestead in Guilford for some years after his father's death. He was early engaged in the manufacture of reed organs in Brattleboro, and is still engaged in the same business in Mendota, Ill., while his eldest son Edwin P., has recently established a factory of the same kind in Brattleboro, right under the shadow of the successful and powerful firm of ESTEY & Co. He will doubtless do everything that pluck, energy, and fair dealing can do to build up his native town and at the same time achieve an honorable success.
Cyrus CARPENTER came to this town from Rhode Island when but seven years old and worked around among the farmers. After a few years he started a wheelwright shop at Guilford village, and carried on that business for many years. He was deputy sheriff several years and high sheriff one term; also constable and collector for eighteen years. He married a daughter of Artemas GALE of this town, and had two sons and two daughters, but one of whom, Augusta, wife of J. T. NOYES, is living in the town. He died in September, 1863, aged sixty-three years.

WIKIPEDIA:
Benjamin Carpenter (May 17, 1725—March 29, 1804) was a leader of colonial Vermont who served as an officer in the American Revolution and as lieutenant governor.
Biography
Benjamin Carpenter was born in Swansea, Massachusetts on May 17, 1725. He lived in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island prior to settling in Vermont in 1770.[1][2]
Carpenter became involved in the early politics of Vermont, including the ongoing dispute between New Hampshire and New York over which one should have the jurisdiction, including the ability to sell land grants to white settlers. Siding with those who had purchased land grants from New Hampshire and favored Vermont's independence, Carpenter was kidnapped by pro-New York forces in 1783. He was released on the condition that he petition the Vermont government for release of imprisoned members of the pro-New York group, something he never did.[3][4]
At the start of the Revolution Carpenter served as chairman of his county Committee of Safety, and was appointed a Lieutenant Colonel in the militia. In addition, he served as a member of Vermont's Council of Safety.[5]
In 1779 Carpenter was elected Lieutenant Governor, and he served until 1781. Carpenter served as a member of the Council of Censors in 1783.[6][7]
Benjamin Carpenter was a devout Baptist. In addition to serving as a deacon for more than 50 years, he also took to the pulpit on occasion to lead services and preach sermons.[8][9]
Carpenter died on Guilford, Vermont on March 29, 1804. He was buried in West Guilford's Carpenter Cemetery.[10][11][12][13]
Liberty Ship
A United States Liberty Ship called the SS Benjamin Carpenter was named for him. It was a standard 10,000 ton Liberty Ship with hull number 2786. It was laid down on 25 March 1944 and launched on 14 April 1944. The ship was scrapped in 1960.

Edward Carpenter
Number 658 in the Carpenter Memorial on page 128.
Family on page 243 (# 251)
He moved to Guilford in 1767. He always called Guilford his native place as
all his early days were spent there: thence to Ira, VT. The goverment of New
York gave to Edward Carpenter, Jr., a grant of land in 1786 in Vermont (lot
number 49 of 300 acres in the land grant Records of New York.).
It was probably this Edward Carpenter who was fined by the Supreame Court of
the Provincial Goverment of Vermont for opposing the Goverment of Vermont,
claiming to be subject to the Goverment of New York. Soon after the Vermont
State Attorney was ordered to suspend the collection of said fine. It was
remitted by Governor and Council, dated 27 Oct. 1784.
Married by G. Harris.

Caleb Carpenter
Number 661 on page 128 of the Carpenter Memorial.
Family on page 244 (# 252).
It appears it was this Caleb who was fined with others for abducting Lt.
Benjamin Carpenter for the purpose to have him taken by an order from the
government of New York, who had offered a bounty on his body if taken and
delivered over to the government of New York. But the State's Attorney was
directed to suspend the collection of the fine, and the fine was remitted by
the Governor and Council dated 27 Oct. 1784.
See letter on page 128 of the CM..
It appears he enlisted from Union, ME on July 12, 1775 serving 18 days in
Capt. Isaac Colton's Company in Col. Brewer's Regiment.
COMMENT:
Listed as dying 22 Mar 1810 in the Carpenter Memorial. This is unlikely along with claims he is buried in Newman Cemetery in Rhode Island. That was another Caleb Carpenter born 10 Mar 1740/1741.
