OR
The Benjamin Carpenter who died 17 Jan 1837 in Dutchess County, New York? <--- NO.xxxxxxxxxx

Benjamin C-47927 (son of Benjamin C-13201 & Margaret) married Mary Seaver-47928 (no marriage date) and has 1 child listed - Benjamin C-47929 (married Hannah Whiting-47951 about 1797 – 7 children).
Benjamin C-17967 (son of Benjamin C-17965 & Joanna Hayward) married Ruth Howard-17919 24 Nov 1784. They have 7 children listed including a Benjamin C-17912 (married Rowena Wilbur-17923 on 31 Dec 1815 – 1 child listed).
The two Benjamin Cs could be the same person if one rejects that the first (BC-47927) did NOT die in the Revolutionary War. No records found by Amos nor anyone else to fit this person. The spouses and children are compatible with a first then second wife scenario. The known data is not inconsistent.
The two sons of the same BCs above, Benjamin C-47929 & Benjamin C-17912. They have births respectively of abt 1777/1781 (with marriage abt 1797) and 17 May 1788 (with marriage 31 Dec 1815).
They are likely not the same unless the former married at about age 9.
CONFLICT: maybe not ...
A Mary (Sever) Seaver married a Benjamin Carpenter. BUT .... compare birth dates.
Benjamin Carpenter (RIN 13148) b. 11 Jul 1749 - d. 17 Jan 1837 married Mary Pugley 9 Sep 1773 in Dutchess County, NY.
Mary Pugley was born 25 Mar 1756 NY and died 16 Nov 1821. They are both buried in Stanford, Dutchess, NY.
Mary Sever was born 24 Mar 1756 in Kingston, NH. per below.
It appears the birth dates are just very close but wrong states and different Benjamins. <------NAFH: image

An extract of a letter from John A. Wallace of Buffalo,,NY, in
which this family is given more fully:-
"BUFFALO,,NY, Feb. 2, 1894.
A. B. CARPENTER,
Dear Sir -The information regarding the father of Polly
Carpenter I derived from my aunt, the only surviving child of
Polly, Mrs. Laura Olcott of Oshkosh, Wis., who is now past 90
years of age, so we can excuse her errors. She also sent me a
list of the children, which I note by your list, is correct. I
take the liberty of enclosing herewith a list of the descendants
of Nathan and Polly, but as I do it mostly from memory, have few
dates except in the case of my own immediate family. All that I
know regarding the true name of Polly, Dolly, Molly or Mary, is
that in the family Bible it is recorded as Polly, and on the
tombstone as Mary. Everyone called her Polly. You state that
Nathan and Polly moved to Moriah "near Rochester,,NY" This is
an error. Moriah is in Essex county, in the northern part of the
state, while Rochester is in Monroe county in the western
portion. The fact is they followed my father and mother to the
town of Brighton, and settled near them, about one mile from the
city. After the death of grandfather, grandmother came to my
mother's and died at her house. As you will note by the record I
send you, Nathan and Polly had six children, one still living.
This record will also answer your question regarding a brother
Daniel. There was none such. I never knew anything about the
Carpenter family, and am surprised to learn that many of the own
cousins of my mother are still living. If it is not too much
trouble, I would like a transcript of the line,-that is my own
from the emigrant ancestor, if you have him, and if ever you
publish a genealogy, should like a copy. If you have been
engaged on this question for some time, I can sympathize with
you, as I have already traced the Wallace line quite a distance,
and the Sherman family to the ancestor who died in England in
1580. It is for the purpose of having the collateral's straight
that I addressed you. I am a strong believer in Americanism. I
believe the older families should see to it that their records
are followed out, and kept straight while it is possible.
(Signed) JOHN A. WALLACE"
