Richard Carpenter
Number 836 in the CARPENTER MEMORIAL, page 143.
Family on page 268 (# 300). A farmer. He moved to Richmond, Hampshire, MA or Richmond, VA.
Married Bettsey Sanford at Rehoboth. Only 1 child listed – This being Margaret who married a Reuben Smith.
HOWEVER, handwritten notes in my copy of the CM indicates he moved to
Richmond, VA. The question is which is right? Richmond, Berkshire county, MA
(near the western edge of MA next to the NY state line) OR Richmond, Henrico
County, VA? If he served in the Revolution as an Officer, he would be entitled
to a land bounty later. Maybe in KY? NO. His name was not found on the KY
Bounty records. NOTE: The mark is probably in error? YES.
NOTE:
The daughter mentioned was found in Richmond, Hampshire, MA and is buried next to a Richard Carpenter who died in 1813 and her husband Reuben Smith.
CONCLUSION: This is not the Richard Carpenter of Fleming County, KY.

Thanks Ken,
Both of the cited original sources show a 14 Jun 1746 birth date for that Richard -- see attachments. The census data for Richard Carpenter of Fleming Co. KY, although not absolutely precise, indicates that he was born in the 1750s, which is also in keeping with a man whose oldest son was born ca. 1772. Since the Richard who was born 14 Jun 1746 appears to be the one enumerated in Richmond, Berkshire Co. MA in 1790, it has been my belief that he and the Richard in KY are not one and the same. I think the one in NJ is the one who was later in KY. But I'm open to all new information that proves otherwise --

Benjamin Carpenter
Number 838 in the CARPENTER MEMORIAL, page 143.
Family on page 269 (# 301). A Mariner and a Merchant.
After his third marriage he moved from Salem to Cambridge and died there at age 72.
On page 143 and 144 is an account of Benjamin Carpenter taken from the Salem
Gazatte, dated Sept. 7, 1869. It starts, "Benjamin Carpenter - "This honored
name stands the third on the list of those noble old sea captains of the last
century, who founded the Salem East India Marine Museum." It continues with
that Benjamin was a lieutenant on the private armed ship the "Oliver Cromwell,"
Benjamin Cole, Captain, during the Revolutionary War. The article also
indicates he was born in Newport, RI, then moved to MA at an early age.
SHIP: "Oliver Cromwell"
Oliver Cromwell was the largest ship in the Connecticut State Navy from her launch on 13 Jun, 1776, until the British Royal Navy captured her in a battle off the coast of Sandy Hook, New Jersey, on 6 June 1779. The Royal Navy renamed her HMS Restoration.

OCR extract from page 67 regarding the history of :
Captain Hodges also gives a list of the American vessels then lying at Canton, fourteen in all, of which five hailed from Salem, four front New York, three from Philadelphia and two from Boston ; and of the two Boston ships, one, the "Massachusetts," of one hundred and ninety tome, had a Salem man, Benjamin Carpenter, for captain.
Captain Carpenter, although he does not appear to have made any voyages from Salem, was intimately connected with our marine societies. He was one of the founders of the East India Marine Society and an early member of the Salem Marine Society, which last-named society has in its possession a log-book of a voyage made by hint in the ship "Hercules," of Boston, from that place to the East Indies, in 1792. His crew consisted of thirty-nine men, thirteen of them from Salem. All but two or three or the crew were between nineteen mid twenty-five years of age, Captain Carpenter putting down his own age at forty. This log-book is remarkable for the elegance of the penmanship and the skill displayed in making pen-and-ink sketches of islands, rocks and other objects of interest to mariners.

Fig. 10. Benjamin Carpenter, A View of Gingeram on the Malabar Coast. Log of the Hercules, Salem to Calcutta, 1792–1793. Courtesy of the Phillips Library at the Peabody Essex Museum, Salem, Massachusetts.
The illustrations that Benjamin Carpenter drew in his journals demonstrate familiarity with picturesque conventions of landscape. A small drawing that he labeled A View of Gingeram on the Malabar Coast illustrates the journal Carpenter kept in 1792–93, when he went to Calcutta as commander of the ship Hercules (fig. 10). Born in 1751, Carpenter was a career merchant mariner who engaged in sea trade from before the Revolution. He was among the first captains to go to Asia after direct trade began in 1784; and, since he also served in the role of supercargo on other voyages, he had a sharp eye for commercial possibilities in addition to maritime skills.
Carpenter’s Gingeram is a phonetic transcription of Janjira. The island fortress Janjira was legendary for remaining unconquered—first repelling rival Asians, then later attempts by the Portuguese, Dutch, French, and English.Said to originate in the fourteenth century, it was fortified and shaped into its present form in the seventeenth century. The structure towers ninety feet above the sea, with thick stone walls rising more than forty feet directly out of the sea at high tide. There are nineteen rounded bastions heavily armed with cannon, connected by a rhythmic line of dark windows piercing a crenulated horizontal battlement. The fort’s interior held a palace, mosque, and deep well for access to fresh water.
Though the island is sited about a mile out to sea, there is little in Carpenter’s drawing to suggest that the fort is surrounded by water. The space is compressed and the fort reads as connected to the hilly shore rather than isolated by the sea. The landscape is constructed from a highly decorative series of lines; these hatchings change direction as needed to suggest sunlight and shadow on the planes of the architecture and landscape elements. Bursts of circles that make up the clouds animate the sky and lighten the ominous mood of the fort standing guard over the bay.
Carpenter’s drawing style seems to embrace picturesque ideas of balance. He plays against each other the light and the dark, the organic and the geometric, the moving and the still. The stylistic approach of the drawing seems to echo the linear treatment Carpenter would have seen in the engravings that accompanied the many illustrated voyage narratives that circulated in Salem. While some fine engravings, such as the La Pérouse title page (fig. 1) are built from barely discernible lines and stipples that read as tonal areas, other engravings retain the prominence of their linear components. Though Carpenter seems not to have had the classical training nor belonged to subscription libraries as other sea captains did, he would have had exposure to aesthetic and classical ideas through his very active participation in the civic life of Salem. Along with Hodges and many other sea captains, he was a member of the Essex Freemasons, a member of the Salem Marine Society, and a founding member of the East India Marine Society to which he donated several significant items. His landscape drawings, executed in a style easily readable because its visual language derived from widely accessible engraved illustrations, made his first-person accounts more vivid for his brother mariners.
As the title page of La Pérouse’s atlas illustrates, geographic and cultural representations in both words and images transmitted global knowledge—which was essential for trade and wealth in seaports such as Salem. Access tothis knowledge became a bond that formed and united an elite class of merchants and mariners. Visual culture played a significant role in circulating this information, in both print and manuscript. Visual culture was essential to the transmission of information along personal networks, which were established various ways—through kinship, business relationships, membership in social or professional organizations, or other venues that were gradually becoming more institutionalized in the Early Republic. Salem’s mariners both collected and created visual representations, and shared them along these dense and interconnected networks for their mutual benefit and that of American commerce.

Bruce E. Carpenter
Captain Benjamin Carpenter (1751-1823) of Salem appears in Amos Carpenter on
pp. 143-4. The account of Captain Carpenter is not quite accurate. I wish to
add some colorful detail here from THE JOURNAL OF SAMUEL CURWEN, LOYALIST,
Harvard University Press, 1972. Benjamin was actually somewhat of an
outrageous character, and more of a historically important individual than
thought previously. Amos Carpenter tells us that Benjamin "returned
immediately to Salem" at the beginning of the American Revolution. While
this may be true, Benjamin Carpenter was a merchant resident in England with
his family and frequents the pages of Samuel Curwen's diary from December
1779. This is not to suggest that Benjamin was a loyalist. Quite the
contrary, as the following quotation will show, Captain Carpenter was a
fervent American patriot, and right in London during the war.
"May 1, 1780. Morn mild, cloudy, air damp, wind W. Early walk to Post
Office, Meridian walk to Redcliff back, often heard, never before explored,
passing the building wherein 120 Spanish prisoners are confined. At Meridian
the cloud that have been gathering were distilled in small rain. May day
celebrated as usual. At 5 o'clock went to Mrs. Richards according to
appointment to drink tea,my countryman a Capt. Carpenter who presently
entered and beginning a rude conversation about American war, behaved to an
extream, indecent and profane, abusing all persons in whom he saw proper to
bestow the character of Tories, enemies to their Country, as vile worthless
rascals all, including everyone who had left America and were now residing
in America or else were out of their own Country, using the most horrid and
profane expressions, and with shocking freedom the word of God, asserting
with oaths the most palpable falsehoods and absurdities. Perhaps the measure
of his folly, impudence and impiety exceeded the common, being more than
half drunk, having been that day at a dinner at the Bush or one of the great
taverns, who {with?} some Seamen of his own rank and party who had blown up
his zeal beyond its usual heighth. However though I made allowance for his
condition I did not fail to give him many severe checks and rebukes, from
whence I conclude he will, on his arrival home be sure to brand with the
odious character of Tory, friend to Government and bitter enemy of Country,
which however I pray God to preserve from all horrors of intestine
commotions. My zeal, however, ran the hottest against his profanity,
nonsense and madness all of which markt his behaviour with the strongest
traits in so much that Mrs. Richards threatened to turn him out of the house
though on his political side of the question."
Captain Carpenter's true contribution to American history was his delivery
of the news from Canton, China to Boston, Massachusetts that the first ship
bearing the American flag had gone around the world in 1790. The ship
Columbia, with Captain Grey in command, had explored the Pacific Northwest
and then began a trading trip to China where it met Captain Benjamin
Carpenter. Amos Carpenter mentions Captain Carpenter's journey to China.
Later Lewis and Clark would steal the attention from this first American
discovery of the Pacific coast. See VOYAGES OF THE COLUMBIA, Oregon
Historical Society Press, and pp. 128-31.

Rick Carpenter "J. R. Carpenter"
Let me elaborate on this topic a little, prompted by Bruce Carpenter's post
on Capt. Benjamin Carpenter.
>1779. This is not to suggest that Benjamin was a loyalist. Quite the
>contrary, as the following quotation will show, Captain Carpenter was a
>fervent American patriot, and right in London during the war.
We must realize once and for all that the American Revolution in reality was
a thoroughly *English* revolution, in the tradition of many other English
revolutions. Thus, the seemingly wishy-washy loyalties of some colonists
reflect their English views. When the Crown was against the colonists, the
colonists were against the crown. And vice versa!
It started out as an armed reform movement. They intended to stay loyal
English colonies. A handful of extreme radicals made the result of this
"English Revolution" end up in the then-unknown concept of independence for
English colonies.

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
following inscription: ...

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.

HISTORY OF THE Town of Pittsford, Vermont
WITH BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES AND FAMILY RECORDS

1872.
The following sketch of his life is taken from the History of
the Town of Pittsford, VT, printed in 1872: -
While in Rehoboth, and after serving in the army, Abraham
"commenced studying for the Ministry. After his marriage he
went to reside in Killingly,,CT From here they moved to
Plainfield, NH in 1774. He was there ordained and installed
over the Congregational Church, and was the first minister in
that town. From Plainfield he removed to Whipple Hollow, VT
About the year 1790 the people of Orange Parish employed Rev.
Abraham Carpenter of Plainfield, NH as their minister. The
services on the occasion of his installation were held at the
house of Asa Stevens, it being before the meeting house was
finished. Mr. Carpenter was a very devoted Christian, and a
faithful pastor; under his ministry the church prospered. Few
pastors have secured a stronger hold upon the affections of his
people. He died after a short illness, and his remains were
interred in the parish burying ground."
In the history of Windham ,,CT, page 95, is the
following: "In 1768, Abraham Carpenter was ordained into the
office of Deacon by the laying on of hands, and dismissed after
five years service to become the pastor of the church of
Plainfield, N. H."
A brief account of his labors in Plainfield, N. H. is found on
page 47, of The New Hampshire Churches, by Rev. Robert F.
Lawrence, published in 1856, as follows: "In 1773 or 1774, Rev.
Abraham Carpenter, a 'strict Congregationalist,' was settled
according to the rules of the denomination in Plainfield,
without any action of the town. In March, 1779, the town voted
to accept Mr. Carpenter as the minister of the town. He received
the right of land, consisting of 360 acres. He continued to
preach in town eight or ten years longer, In his own kitchen and
in other private houses in the winter, and in the open air or in
a Meeting-house having neither doors or windows, in the summer.
In 1782 there was more than usual attention to religion, and
several neighboring ministers came and assisted him. After a few
years he was dismissed by his own congregation, and became
pastor of a church in Rutland, VT where he died and where his
grave is. He was considered a decided Christian, loving God and
rejoicing to be the servant of his people in preaching the
Gospel and teaching the youth. In a quiet and sober manner he
finished his ministry and went, we believe, to receive the
reward of one who had been 'faithful in a few things.'"
Extract of a letter written to E. H. Carpenter, Manchester, N.
H., by Rev. C. C. Mclntire, D. D., dated Nov.14, 1889: "After a
little search I found the grave or at least the Stone, of Rev.
Abraham Carpenter. The ground was in a beautiful, picturesque
spot, but is not very well cared for. The stone is a large-sized
slab standing upright and firm and is in a very good state of
preservation. On the stone is engraved an oval band, and running
around it are these words
This,,sleeping dust again shall rise
When Gabriel's trump shall shake the skies."
Within the oval is the inscription :-"To the pious memory of the
Rev. Abraham Carpenter, who we trust fell asleep in Jesus Aug.
21st, 1797, in the 58th year of his age." Below the oval and
near the base
"With mildest accents from his tongue
He often taught the listening throng
In silent notes still hear him say
Prepare for death and come away."

During the next ten years, the agitation occasioned by the
war having subsided, the population of the town went on grad
ually increasing, while new openings were continually made in
the forest, a greater breadth of soil was brought under the
influence of husbandry, and the machinery of civil government
was moving gracefully along. This prosperous state of things,
combined with the natural fertility of soil, made the township
a desirable one for enterprising young men, who wished to
make pleasant homes for themselves in some promising region.
Among the number who located here in 1790, we find
Abraham Drury, John Woodward, Samuel Copley, Phineas
Hammond, Abraham Carpenter, Adget Lathrop and Nathan
B. Graham.

Abraham Carpenter was born in Rehoboth, Mass., Sep
tember 23, 1739, and in the French war he enlisted in the
army and was sent through the wilderness to Crown Point
Fort, where he remained through one summer, acting, the most
of that time, as one of the guard at that fortress. How long
he remained in the army we are not informed, but when his
term of service had expired, he returned to Rehoboth and
commenced studying for the ministry. He married Elizabeth
Bliss, also of Rehoboth, who was born April 5, 1738, and after
their marriage they went to reside in Killingly, Conn., from
which town they removed to Plainfield, N. H., in 1774. He
was there ordained and settled over a Congregational Church,
the first in the township. From Plainfield he removed to
"Whipple Hollow, and of his labors there we shall have some
thing to say hereafter.

DEACONS.
There were no regularly appointed deacons of the Baptist
Church till September 30, 1786, when Caleb Hendee,* Abel
Stevensf and Colburn Preston were elected to this office. The
other deacons have been :
Samuel Hendee and Ezra Spencer, elected October 16, 1841.
Roswell Woodcock and James R. Smith,}: elected February
11, 1843.
Samuel Hendee and Roswell Woodcock are the present
acting deacons.
In the year 1788, an effort was made by some individuals
living in that part of Pittsford known as Whipple Hollow,
together with persons living in that vicinity, in the north part
of Rutland, to form a religious society, and they petitioned the
Legislature for an act of incorporation. The prayer of the
petitioners was not granted, but they formed an association and
took the name of " Orange Parish." They held religious meet
ings, and occasionally had preaching by ministers living in the
vicinity. About the year 1790, they employed Rev. Abraham
Carpenter, from Plainfield, N. H., as their preacher. We have

644 HISTORY OF PITT8FORD.
already given some account of the early life of Mr. Carpenter.
Soon after he came to Pittsford a church was organized, and he
was installed as its pastor. The services on this occasion were
held at the house of Asa Stevens,* and Rev. Lemuel Haynes,
of Rutland, and Rev. Ithamar Hibbard, of Poultney, assisted
in the exercises.
Mr. Carpenter was a very devoted Christian, and a faithful
pastor, and under his ministry the church prospered. Few
pastors have secured a stronger hold upon the affections of his
people. He died, after a short illness, August 21, 1797, and
his remains were interred in the parish burying ground. His
wife, Elizabeth, died March 30, 1830, aged 92 years.f
After the death of Mr. Carpenter, the parish secured the
services of Rev, Mr. Norton, who was a man of some talent,
but wanting in characteristics so essential to success. Under
his ministry the religious interest in the society gradually
abated, dissensions sprung up among the members, the minister
soon left, and the meetings were discontinued.

Nathan Carpenter
Number 846 in the Carpenter Memorial on page 145.
Family on page 269 and 270 (# 303). Per page 838, this Nathan did not marry
Hannah Thomas of Warren, RI, another Nathan married her. Spouse name not
known. (SEE: RIN 24550 for reference)
Nathan and his brother Allen enlisted in Woodstock in the Revolutionary War
and after the close of the war, Allen moved to Vermont or New York.
Nathan appears to have returned to CT after his marriage til 1785, then to
Vermont for a brief time then to New York on the Unadilla River until Feb. 12,
1801 when he left for Ohio.
Notes describe his wrestling an Indian taking away his knife and Tomahawk then giving them back. Also the notes describe him outwitting a panther who wanted him for dinner for her family. The notes also describe his demise after being thrown off a horse falling down an embankment.
There is extensive notes from page 145 to 149 inclusive in the CM
on Nathan Carpenter.
There is an interesting discrepancy on page 146 at the bottom third of the page:
Captian Nathan Carpenter, a zealous patriot fought bravely at the Battle of
Bunker Hill at which place his brother was killed and he himself was wounded.
He fought at many battles, et cetera and finally returning home with his
brother Allen at his side. The only brother not documented in the military or
where he died is Louis, his step-brother born in 1727.
Nathan served in the Revolution in the 3rd Battalion of Connecticut Volunteers
with his brother Allen, in Capt. Parker's Company, Col. Sage's Regiment.
Enlisted with his brother on March 7, 1777 and discharged March 17, 1780.
After the close of the war it appears that Nathan, after his
marriage, returned to ,,CT and later immigrated to
Vermont; it appears he had children born in ,,CT
Captain Carpenter died in 1814. On the evening of the 9th of
September, a little more than thirteen years after his
settlement in the Twp. of Liberty, he was returning from the
Town of Delaware, on horseback, the animal on which he was
mounted being a very vicious one, and having left town late,
night overtook him before he reached home. He could not see the
road and his horse had no disposition to follow it. An
overhanging limb swept the rider from his seat, and, being so
near the brink, he fell down the precipice upon the rocks below.
He raised upon his hands and uttered a solitary cry for help.
The familiar voice attracted the attention of a neighbor near
by, who hastened to his assistance. He immediately asked for
water, which the man, with his hat for a cup, procured for him
from the river. Dr. Lamb was soon at the scene of the accident,
but his injuries were fatal, and he soon expired, thus ending,
at the age of fifty-six, his eventful life. His death cast a
cloud over the entire community. They were all conscious that
they had lost a friend. His family were devotedly attached to
him; his physician and many friends wept at his grave, as they
laid him by the side of his wife who had died ten years before.
Dec.30, 1800. At this time the County of Tioga is evidently
undivided and Nathan Carpenter is said to be of Oxford, in the
County of Chenango. On the above date a deed is made by "James
Glover of Norwich in the County of Chenango and State of New
York, and Alphana his wife to Nathan Carpenter of Oxford, in the
County and State aforesaid, yeoman, which for the sum of $1500
disposes of 520 acres of land situated, lying, and being in the
military tract in the territory northwest of the ,OH, in the 3d
and 4th Sections in the 4th Twp. and 19th range subject to
the conditions, restrictions and provisions contained in the Act
of Congress passed on the first day of June, 1796, entitled an
Act regulating the grants of land appropriated for military
services and for the Society of the United Brethren for
propagating the Gospel among the heathen, and of the several
Acts supplementary thereto, passed on the 2nd day of March,
1799, and on the 7th day of February, and 1st day of March,
1800." Witnessed by Benjamin Hovey, S. 0. Rungon, Avery Power.
Acknowledged before Benjamin Hovey, one of the judges of
Chenango , on January 1,1801. This land was then in the
County of Ross, in the Territory of the United States, N. W. of
the ,OH River; that county at that time covered immense
territory; this land is now five miles south of the town of
Delaware.
Liberty Twp. lies south of Delaware and is one of three
original townships into which the county was divided for
temporary purposes, at the time of its formation.
This Twp. is noted as being the site of the first settlement
made in the county by white people. A complete and intelligent
history of this early settlement involves a sketch of the family
who made it
PICTURES: Carpenter cemetery in Liberty Township, Delaware County, Ohio and include
the graves of Nathan Carpenter, his son John and and some other members of
the family. Captain Nathan Carpenter was the first white settler in
Delaware County, Ohio. See: RIN 8357 in the MISC PICS file.

The following facts pertaining to this noted Carpenter family
and their settlement in this Twp. are from an article in the
Delaware Gazette, written by A. E. Goodrich, a descendant.
After the death of Abiel, his son Abraham Carpenter was
established in the family seat at the village of Rehoboth, in
the ,MA Bay Colony, which at that time was a small
republic and quite independent as it had not yet been enslaved
by the encroachments of the British Ministry. Here he
continually added to his estate by the purchase of small and
sometimes large tracts of land until he became an extensive land
owner. No doubt it will be somewhat surprising to our readers to
learn that prices for land then were about as high as at the
present day, as is shown by some of his conveyances now in
possession of the writer, some of which date back to the year
1728. For one-half acre he paid œ10 ($50); and for two acres he
paid œ40($200); but as they were small tracts they were probably
located near the village. [The above account refers to Abraham,
the father of Abiel and not Abraham his son.] In 1756, Abraham
(the father of Abiel) made his last will which is as much a
dissertation on the Christian graces as it is a conveyance of
his property, bequeathing his property to his son Abiel and to
his grand-children as will be found in a note under Abraham (the
father.) Abiel lived in the village which was the choice of his
ancestors, where he reared a large family and his third son,
Nathan, became the pioneer and the original settler of Delaware
County.
Capt. Nathan Carpenter was born in Rehoboth in 1757, and grew to
manhood amid the excitements preparatory to the Revolution,
zealous patriot. He was among the first to respond to the call
of his country when the great colonial struggle came on, though
scarcely more than a boy in age. He fought bravely at the battle
of Bunker Hill, at which place his brother was killed and
himself wounded. Afterwards he participated in several
sanguinary battles, among them the pursuit and capture of
General Burgoyne, at Saratoga. After the surrender of General
Burgoyne, Captain Carpenter had an interview with him in which
he took occasion to remark that he had very reluctantly accepted
the command imposed upon him by the British Ministry-that of
compelling him to war against the American Colonies. He soon
after confirmed his position by returning to England and joining
Pitt's party opposed to the war. Carpenter described General
Washington as being a tall, large man, of very imposing
appearance and, like Buonaparte, devoid of warm or passionate
affection, although so ardently and truly devoted to his
country. Persons owed more gratitude to him collectively than
they did individually. After the battle of Monmouth, Carpenter
visited his home and during his stay was married to Miss Irene
Reid. But he did not long remain at home, and Soon after
marriage returned to his post of duty. He took an active part in
the campaigns and participated in many of the battles until a
peace was conquered at Yorktown. The war was over and the troops
were returning home. The battalion to which he belonged was
expected home on the evening of a certain day. The young wife
knew not whether her husband was living or dead. [Mail
communications were not so complete nor soldiers' letters so
common as during the last war.] Full of hope, however, she
prepared supper for both of them and then sat down to await his
coming. Sadly she thought over the probabilities of his return
now that the war had ended. She was beginning to despair and her
heart to sink with hope deferred. A knock was beard at the door.
She started up but was unable to speak or move further. When the
door opened and, behold, both her husband and brother stood upon
the threshold safe and sound. [The brother was Allen Carpenter,
No. 848.] It was too much; she fell senseless, but her husband
caught her in his arms. He had returned to enjoy with her the
recompense of those hard fought battles, to share with her the
rest of his eventful life. After the close of the war Mr.
Carpenter lived in ,,CT until 1785, when he moved to the
State of NY and purchased a large estate upon the Unadilla
River. It was while residing here, that the excitement over the
,OH territory rose to a height exceeded only by that perhaps
over California in later years. Public meetings were held at
which were discussed the stories of its delightful climate and
inexhaustible wealth. Never having become attached to the
country which he had adopted as his home, he was inclined to
share in the enthusiasm. And then, a life in the West would be
congenial to his nature. One morning, after having ascended to
the roof of his house to shovel off the snow, a frequent
necessity in that climate, he broke the intelligence to his wife
that he intended to leave that land of hills and snow banks and
go to the wonderful ,OH. Having disposed of his estate and
other effects which he would not need and having procured
everything required in his future home he bade adieu to his
numerous friends who had gathered to say farewell and started
for the new Eldorado, on the 12th day of February, 1801 About
twenty young men (Powerses, Smiths, etc., etc..) who were going
out to see the country, some of them afterwards becoming
permanent settlers, accompanied him. He traveled on wagons and
sleds as far as Pittsburg,,PA, where he loaded his effects
and passengers into a boat and continued his journey by floating
down the ,OH river. The beginning of his journey down the ,OH
placed the little party beyond civilized limits and brought it a
foretaste of the privations and dangers of pioneer life. They
traveled by day only, the host being made fast to the shore by
night, but shortly after leaving Pittsburg some of the
passengers became anxious to travel at night also, and Captain
Carpenter finally acceded to their wishes. The boat started out
but did not proceed far before it struck a "sawyer",
obstructions which were then so common in the ,OH and
Mississippi rivers, and crushed in the bow. The hold was rapidly
filling with water, when the break was rudely stopped and the
water kept down, until the boat could be run ashore and all on
board rescued, though not a little alarmed. A day was spent in
repairing the damage, when they again proceeded on their
journey, with light hearts and buoyant spirits. Congeniality
lightened every adversity and swelled every enjoyment. The
variety of scenery contributed largely to the entertainment of
the little hand, as it floated down la belle riviere. This
voyage was long remembered and was highly interesting to the
other members of the party, at least. Although early in the
season, nature had already donned her spring clothes for the
winter was indeed over. The knolls and valleys were covered with
grass, and hundreds of deer which looked in great wonderment
upon the strange barge, were seen grazing upon the green slope.
Sometimes a solitary moose, with his huge antlers, or a bear
would change the monotony of the scene and contribute to the
variety of the bill of fare. Then turkeys were so plenty and
deer so tame that leo voyageurs never lacked for fresh meat.
Marietta was left behind; prominent hills faded away in the
distance; the last bend was passed and the boat arrived safely
at the mouth of the Scioto river. But here a change must be
made; in order to reach his destination the Scioto river must be
ascended. Accordingly the cargo and passengers were transferred
to keel-boats, in which they were moved up to Franklinton, a
place consisting of three or four log houses, and situated
across the river from where Columbus now stands. Here a large
canoe was procured and his goods transported up the Olentangy to
the place where Hiram R. Carpenter now resides, and where they
arrived on the 1st day of May, 1801, having been two months and
eighteen days on the voyage. The first business in order was the
erection of a cabin for a shelter, which was built on the bank
of the river just above high water mark. It was rudely chinked
with split sticks and covered with bark, but without floor or
chimney. Flat stones were set up against the logs to make a safe
place to build a fire The cabin was scarcely finished when it
commenced to rain and continued for eight days in succession.
After the flood had abated the land was surveyed and according
to the previous arrangement Captain Carpenter received choice of
land in the section. He now began prospecting for a site on
which to build a permanent home, which must be erected and
finished before winter. His assistants were equally engaged in
clearing, planting and hunting and the result was they harvested
500 bushels of corn, besides superabundantly supplying the party
with the choicest meats. Game was plenty; deer was to be seen
every day; turkeys were frequently shot from the cabin door and
the creeks were full of fish.
During the summer a substantial hewed-log house was erected on
the site of the present residence of Squire Carpenter. The
family was moved into it and provided with improved furniture
and other adjuncts of civilization. In the spring following
Captain Carpenter's settlement, was joined by two ether pioneer
adventurers. The Colony now consisted of the families of
Carpenter, Powers (who came with Carpenter.) Cellar and
McKinnie. Cellar was a gunsmith and had manufactured guns for
the war of Independence, while the others had used them to that
end. They were now associated together, not in war, but in
subduing the wilderness and building up homes in the new land of
promise.
The children of Captain Carpenter, ten in number, were now young
men and women and being of congenial disposition were sufficient
company for each other to render their forest home cheerful and
pleasant instead of suffering it to become lonely and irksome.
They often had exciting stories to relate concerning their
adventures with wild animals and the Indians. With the latter
they were usually on pretty good terms. As many of those pioneer
stories have been handed down to the present time, we will give
one or two for an illustration. There were those among the
Indians who sometimes became intolerable in their conduct,
especially in their demands for whiskey, and the whites in such
cases, did not hasten to enter into a skirmish with them,
knowing that they were in bad repute even with their own people.
An old Indian whose name was Sevans came to Carpenter's one day
and asked for "whisk." Ira, the eldest son, who chanced to be
present, knowing too well what the result would be, informed Mr.
Sevans that he could not be accommodated. The old Indian urged
his demand with so much importunity that it became necessary to
use other kinds of persuasion than argument. He first drew his
knife but Ira wrested that from him with little difficulty which
rendered the red man furious, and he began drawing his tomahawk
from his belt, when a kick from his pale-faced adversary sent
him sprawling out of the door. As soon as he recovered himself
he threw his tomahawk at young Carpenter with all the force he
could muster, but the door was brought together in time to
intercept the blow The weapon passed through the door however,
and was now in the possession of the white man, who chastised
Mr. Sevans quite severely. He then gave him back his knife and
tomahawk with the injunction never to be seen there again-an
injunction the old rascal faithfully obeyed.
There being a surplus of help at home. John Carpenter, the
second son, concluded that he would hire out his services and
obtained employment of Mr. Patterson who had a trading post at
Sandusky. He set out for that place on foot and alone, following
the Indian trails which were the only roads there were at that
time through the wilderness. He traveled in the daytime, guided
by those trails and a pocket compass, and at night slept by the
side of a log. His first night's rest was quiet and undisturbed
but late in the second night he was awakened by shrieks and
howls, the source of which was evidently approaching nearer
every moment. Being thoroughly awakened and conscious of his
impending danger he remained perfectly still by the side of his
log. The shrieks were soon changed to snuffing and then the
beast sprang upon the log directly over his head; walking down
the log smelling of its intended victim, it again alighted upon
the ground and after smelling of him from head to foot, began to
cover him up with leaves that were within reach. After having
accomplished this feat to its satisfaction it retired some
distance and began to shriek most hideously, and soon Carpenter
heard a response in the distance which convinced him that he was
the subject of a grand supper talk. Not wishing to become the
food of a panther and her cubs, he quietly crawled out of the
pile of leaves which had been heaped upon him and climbed up the
nearest tree. The answering sound which he had heard drew
nearer, and soon the young family made its appearance. They tore
open the bed of leaves, but their anticipated supper had
disappeared. Uttering hideous shrieks, the old one struck the
track and followed it to the tree and rearing up against the
trunk with her fore feet stared indignantly at the subject of
her disappointment. When the morning dawned, the huge panther
withdrew her interesting family and young Carpenter, happy in
his escape, went on his journey.
Captain Carpenter died in 1814. On the evening of the 9th of
September, a little more than thirteen years after his
settlement in the Twp., he was returning from the town of
Delaware, on horseback, the animal on which he was mounted being
a very vicious one, and having left town late, night overtook
him before he reached home. He could not see the road and his
horse had no disposition to follow it. Winding along the river
it passed between the bank and a tree that stood very near it.
An overhanging limb swept the rider from his seat, and, being so
near the brink, he fell down the precipice upon the rocks below.
He raised upon his hands and uttered a solitary cry for help.
The familiar voice attracted the attention of a neighbor near
by, who hastened to his assistance. He immediately asked for
water, which the man, with his hat for a cup, procured for him
from the river. Dr. Lamb was soon at the scene of the accident,
but his injuries were fatal, and he soon expired, thus ending,
at the age of fifty-six, his eventful life. His death cast a
cloud over the entire community. They were all conscious that
they had lost a friend. His family were devotedly attached to
him; his physician and many friends wept at his grave, as they
laid him by the side of his wife who had died ten years before."
Captain Carpenter's seven children who survived him, lived to
the average age of 81 years, aggregating 570 years. The eldest
daughter, Mrs. Swinton, went to IL in 1816, and died in
1873, at the age of 93 years. Alfred died in IL, and
Nathan, at his residence in Worthington. The other's are all
dead except Mrs. Case, now 83 years of age. Most of them died in
the country in which they grew up. Mrs. Case is living in
Licking County in good health for one of her years. Sarah, who
married John Hardin, Esq., and who died at the residence of her
son-in-law, A. S. Goodrich, Esq., in the winter of 1878 or 1879,
at the age of 88, was the last surviving child, except Mrs.
Case, of Captain Carpenter.2 SOUR S203

Timothy Carpenter
NOTE: The Timothy Carpenter of Pittstown, NY was born abt 1715 not 24 Oct 1721.
The error was found and corrected using the following information.
1) Letter of Charles L. Carpenter in 1976 indicating that the Timothy Carpenter
born 24 Oct 1721 was not his Timothy Carpenter, and the addenda (update)
to the Timothy Carpenter book dated 3 May 1984 by the same person.
2) Carpenter Related Family History Journal, Vol. 3, No.1, page 11:
SOURCE: A corrected will of the New York Historical Society Collections
Volumes found by Louise Carpenter Licklider states in abstract:
"In the name of God, Amen. January 3, 1728/1729, I, Silas Carpenter of North
Castle, in Westchester County, Blacksmith. I leave to my wife, Jane, one-third
of all moveables. All houses and lands to be sold. I leave to my daughters,
Hannah and Phebe, 10 pounds each when of age. The rest to be put at interest

among them. I make William Craft and William Carpenter, Jr., both of Long
Island, and my wife, Jane, Executors. Witnesses, Adam Ireland, Job Wright,
Nataniel Carpenter. Proved Feburary 11, 1728/1729."
3) Raymond George Carpenter concurs and James Ausie Carpenter states, "I am so
happy for Charlie that after all these years of failure to gain through Louise
A-1 proof of Lineage."

Silas Carpenter
SILAS is listed as number 13-2 in the book; TIMOTHY CARPENTER DESCENDANTS.
SILAS disappeared during the REVOLUTIONARY WAR. His name does not appear on
any casuality lists on file at the National Archives in Washington, nor the
State Archives in Albany, N.Y. It also does not appear on any rosters of men
serving from the Pittstown area in the 14th Albany Regt., which do his
brothers JOSIAH and JEREMIAH and his brother-in-law NEHEMIAH WALLACE.
MISC: There is speculation in one branch of the family that he became a
loyalist and died in Canada or England. In another branch it indicates he went
north and died unmarried.
MISC: "As a child I heard stories of an uncle (last name Carpenter) in
England who owned a powder mill that blew up. Family here were trying to
prove their relationship as beneficiaries. Supposedly important papers were
destroyed in the explosion, so the inheritance went to England. I have been
unable to locate the legal papers that were prepared in the late 30's with the
genealogy." Ed & Dorothy Linville, June 12, 1999. (See Joseph of Jeremiah of
Timothy notes.)
