Hi John,
Here's the GEDCOM, starting a couple of generations later than James Burnham Carpenter.
Let me know if you find anything about Nathaniel's ancestry.  I suspect his parents were Nathaniel Carpenter and Elizabeth Butterworth of Coventry Rhode Island, but that's based only on circumstantial evidence.
In the GEDCOM, the Carpenter and Walcott lines are pretty thoroughly researched, but some of the other lines are a little more tenuous.
I don't know of any male Carpenter descendants in this line.  I have been in contact, via Genforum, Robert T. Santos and Jeffrey A. Watson.  Both of them are descended from Nathaniel and Anna (Nancy) Walcott, but are not Carpenters.
Good luck.
Steve Whitelaw
John's father was Nathaniel Carpenter, b. abt 1756, m Anna Walcott on 12 Feb 1779 in Woodstock VT.  Nathaniel d. 5 Mar 1796 in Pomfret, VT, and is buried there in Burns Cemetery (ae 40).
Nathaniel and Anna had 7 children:
Henry, b. 28 Dec 1779
George, b. 11 Oct 1781
Elizabeth, b. 1784
Anna, b. 1 Dec 1786
Marcus, b. 23 Feb 1789
John, b. abt 1793
Joel, b. 26 Oct 1795

Anna "Nancy" Wolcott

Nathaniel Carpenter (d. 5 Mar 1796) married an Anna Walcott (daughter of William Walcott and Ester Foster  - Family ) on 12 Feb 1779 in Pomfrit Twp,, Windham, Vermont.   Anna Walcott was born 11 Jan 1761 in Providence, Providence, Rhode Island.

See Notes for her son, John.
"On April 28, 1800, when John would have been eight and his sister Nancy 13, their mother married James Thwing in Pomfret.  James's wife Hannah had died on January 1, 1796, just two months before Nathaniel Carpenter died.  James had 10 children when his wife died, but the two oldest, Prisca and Susannah were 19 and 18, and so they would have been old enough to look after their younger brothers and sisters.  After James and Nancy were married, they moved to nearby Barre, taking young John and possibly his older sister Nancy with them."

Subject: Greenwood Carpenter JR
...
The story of the illegitimate Greenwood Jr. and his slave mother Elizabeth seemed plausible. Who was she , however and how could we find out if, as it appears ,the birth had been omitted from town records?After a internet search of by HSCC ( Historic Society of Cheshire County) staff solved the mystery. Although The Swanzey vital records did not contained the birth , the town clerk had recorded it is his record book, and the LDS church had made those records available online. On May 10 ,1763 Greenwood Jr was born in Swanzey ,N. H. to Greenwood Carpenter and Elizabeth Negus.

From Monthly Newsletter of the Historic Society of Cheshire County NH
The primary mystery was solved, But what became of Elizabeth and what was the effect on Greenwood's father Rev. Ezra Carpenter? We do know Ezra asked to be dismissed from his pastorate
in 1764 ,one yr after the birth of Greenwood Jr. The church council accepted the resignation, and the council meeting is still remembered today for another occurrence on that June day. A hurricane struck the town that night as the members left the meeting house. The building was lifted from its foundation, turned one quarter around and badly damaged a church members horse was killed also. We may never know if any people present thought this was a sign from God.
Greenwood succeeded his father in the Carpenter Homestead in Swanzey Center. He farmed the land with his family until his death in 1809. The family retained the homestead for many generations until the death of Greenwood’s great grandsons wife Lucy died in 1928 the Homestead was later converted to a home for the aged.

Greenwood Jr was not listed on the Greenwood Carpenter Sr.’s family tree…and was born between Greenwood Sr.’s first and second marriage. He was born to Greenwood Sr. and a negro woman named Elizabeth who signed the record with an X. The recorder verified her identity. When Ron found the record in August of this year during a trip to Cheshire County, New Hampshire, the officials at the County Court House in Keene NH told him we were lucky the birth was recorded…that it probably only was recorded because it was a son born to a white man…if it had been a daughter born in a mixed race relationship, it probably would not have been recorded. Ron obtained copies of letters…one written by Greenwood Sr to Greenwood Jr when his half-sister Olive died…and the second letter written by Greenwood Jr to his uncle (whom he seemed to be close to) sometime after his father’s death.
Both Greenwood’s served in the Revolutionary War and both applied for and received pensions from the Revolutionary War when they were older men.
...
MARRIAGE:  Was he married twice to Hannah Bishop?  Once about August 1780 when he was about 18 and she about 15?  AND ... in 1787?  Or did he marry two sisters or ... or ...
(The following from the email below)
An issue for us to determine further is that Bishop Carpenter was born to Hannah Bishop and Greenwood Carpenter Jr in 1781 and yet they were not married until 1787. So, was Bishop, Greenwood Jr.’s son or not? Hannah was 15 at the time of Bishop’s birth and I have traced her father’s name to Calvin Bishop.

Subject: RE: inquiring & replying about Carpenter Cousins Y-DNA Project
I am so excited to find out this information. I have a feeling that Betsy is a full sister to Greenwood Jr…but that’s pure speculation. Maybe we can find out more on another trip to NH. I am lucky my cousin Ron loves to travel and does so often. He’s been very interested and very helpful about doing genealogy research on both sides of the family tree. Greenwood Jr and Hannah had three sons…Bishop, Porter and Sylvester. Sylvester was killed in his mid-twenties by “the falling of a tree.” On an earlier trip to New York, Ron found Sylvester’s grave…I have a photo at home. Ron said his grave was all alone about 300 yards from the rest of the graves in the cemetery. We didn’t know why the grave was so isolated, but if he was a mixed race young man maybe that was the reason his grave was isolated. Bishop named his next born son Sylvester also…so that presented a challenge in research we did earlier, but we straightened it all out. I don’t believe that Bishop’s brother Sylvester had been married or had children…at least I’ve found no record of that.
Porter and Sylvester were born after Hannah Bishop and Greenwood Jr were married in 1787, but Bishop was born in 1781…during the Revolutionary War.
Hannah later had a second husband and had 5 or 6 children by him. He died two years after the last child was born. Hannah did request and receive a widow’s pension from Greenwood Jr’s service in the Revolutionary War. She claimed the pension as Hannah Carpenter…so I don’t know if she married this Perkins man or not…I have the details at home and will check names and birthdates of this man and her offspring with him.
Porter immigrated to Michigan about the time that Bishop immigrated to Illinois. Hannah must gone to live with him…or near him…as an older woman…she is buried in Michigan…I have to check the county name…as Hannah Carpenter. Ron found that information in 2009, but had his vehicle broken into and items stolen while he was in a restaurant in the town. He lost some of the paperwork he’d obtained on that trip, but had given me details enough that I was able to find some records online.

TIME: Partial timeline showing Greenwood Jr.s part in his father's timeline.

John,
That Greenwood Carpenter Jr.'s mother, Elizabeth Negus, had a surname immediately casts doubt on her having been a slave. Moreover, the state index card pertaining to Greenwood's birth (10 May 1763; apparently derived from Swanzey, N.H., Vital Records Volume C [on FHL film #15,328]) indicates that Elizabeth was white, as was her son (see ). The index card's inclusion of this information--probably not in the original record--suggests that the town clerk who transcribed the original and forwarded it to Concord in 1905 assumed (properly) that if Elizabeth had NOT been white, the record WOULD have said so.
I can think of three reasons to conclude that Elizabeth Negus was perhaps Greenwood Sr.'s common-law wife but more likely someone with whom he had an adulterous relationship (the index card calls her a "housewife"): First, he didn't initiate divorce proceedings against his first wife, Sarah Leathers, until eight years after Greenwood Jr.'s birth. Second, Sarah is said in Greenwood Sr.'s divorce petition to have "run off" in 1763. That this is also the year of Greenwood Jr.'s birth suggests that that event (or the pregnancy leading to it) may well have provoked Sarah's departure. And third, New England birth records of this period virtually never include the mother's surname unless it differed from that of the father when their child was born.
It remains to be determined whether Elizabeth was a Negus by birth or marriage.

> Greenwood Jr. apparently married a woman by the name of Hannah and moved to Albany, N.Y. Where he applied for a pension for his service in the Revolutionary War. He may have died in 1828 when his pension was discontinued. It was later reinstated to his widow Hannah who received government payments for many years.
In 1790, there was a Greenwood Carpenter (Sr.?) in Swanzey, Cheshire Co., New Hampshire, and another (Jr.?) at Stillwater, then in Albany Co., New York. This, curiously, is the only census in which the name appears. Revolutionary War pensioner Greenwood Carpenter (file no. W6630), a common laborer in reduced circumstances, was first granted a pension in 1818. when he was living at or near Williamsport, Lycoming Co., Pennsylvania. By the time he refiled in 1820, he had moved to Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne Co., Pa. He claimed to have enlisted at Swanzey in 1775 for a year and in 1776 for three years. His widow, whom he had married in Swanzey on 15 March 1787, was the former Hannah Bishop. A deposition of Hannah (Bishop) (Carpenter) Schenck's dated in 1842 indicates that she was then residing in Hannibal, Oswego Co., N.Y.; that her husband, Greenwood Carpenter, had first enlisted in 1775 at about age 16; and that he died in Aurelius, Cayuga Co., New York, on or about 10 October 1832 (elsewhere she says middle of October 1831). Hannah received a widow's pension at Lysander, Onondaga Co., N.Y., c1836-c1842; Hannibal, N.Y., 1842-1847; and Adrian and/or Madison, Lenawee Co., Michigan, 1847-1851 or later.
There appear to be major conflicts here, however: Greenwood Carpenter's May 1818 deposition gives his age as 61, and his August 1820 application has him as 64. This would put his birth date at between May and August 1756. If he had been about 16 in 1775 (as per his widow's deposition), his birth year would have been about 1759. Neither of these matches up well with Greenwood Carpenter Sr.'s namesake son's birth date, recorded as 10 May 1763. If the pensioner had been born on the latter date, he would have been no more than 12 when he first enlisted.
In an 1850 deposition, however, Hannah dates Greenwood's first enlistment as on or about 12 July 1779, which date is confirmed by a Swanzey town record indicating that, in return for his three-year enlistment, Greenwood Carpenter "Jr." was to receive £66 10s. from the town (Benjamin Read, The History of Swanzey, New Hampshire, from 1734 to 1890 [Salem, Mass., 1892], 114). This matches the aforementioned description of Greenwood as having been about 16 at his first enlistment and leaves little question that, despite the file's inaccuracies, the pensioner in question was Greenwood Sr.'s son.

THE Whitcomb family is one of the most notable in the history of southwestern
New Hampshire, has figured conspicuously in the civil and military history of the
state, and has been especially prominent in the old town of Swanzey. A worthy
representative of this family is Lucy J. Whitcomb Carpenter, daughter of Col.
Carter Whitcomb, born during his temporary residence at Saxton's River, Vt.,
March 9, 1834, but removing to his native town of Swanzey two years later, where
she has ever since resided. She was educated at Mount Caesar Seminary, in
Swanzey, under the instruction of Prof. Joseph C. Barrett, and Rev. S. H.
McCollister, D. D. June 14, 1864, she was united in marriage with George
Carpenter, of Swanzey, since prominent in political circles in the state as a leader
of the Greenback and Labor party organizations. Soon after the Chautauqua
literary and scientific course of study was instituted both Mrs. Carpenter and her
husband took up the course and were members of the Ashuelot C. L. S. C. for
eight years, graduating with many seals attached to their diplomas. Subsequently
they pursued the University course of study in the People's College, under able
professors. Mrs. Carpenter has fine literary ability and poetic talent. She was a
leading spirit in the organization of the Mount Caesar Library Association, which
occupies the old seminary building, purchased and donated to the association by
Mr. Carpenter. She is an active member of the order of Patrons of Husbandry, has
held various offices in Golden Rod Grange of Swanzey, and served efficiently as
lecturer of Cheshire County Pomona Grange. She is an interested member of the
Daughters of the American Revolution, claiming eligibility from her illustrious great
grandfather, Col. Jonathan Whitcomb, who fought at Lexington and Bunker Hill.
Her kindly greeting and gracious manner add a charm to the generous hospitality
of "Valley View," their pleasant farm home on the slope of Mount
Caesar, overlooking Swanzey Plain.THE Whitcomb family is one of the most

He gets property in Swanzey on Signal Hill. He was a good farmer and community minded person. He resigned as a preacher due to advancing age in 1756. His wife dies one year later in Mar 1766. He is quite overwhelmed with grief. His son Greenwood moved to the homestead in 1756 with his children to assist with the farm
Ezra moved in with his daughter in Walpole, NH and her family where he later died in 1785. Ezra had willed his estate to his son in 1755 with 182 acres.
Greenwood manages the farm for years till his death in Feb 1809 His wife and son Elijah take over till Greenwood's wife dies in Feb 1826. Then it is willed to Elijah till he dies in Oct 1861. His wife Fanny passes away Mar 1875 .
The Property goes to their son George Carpenter and his wife Lucy Whitcomb Carpenter,after George passes away in December ,1915. Lucy Passes away in June 1928,they have no children.

The homestead of my late husband George Carpenter and myself, shall be kept practically,as the same form as it was constructed,as the same left by my late husband or as same may be,at my decease.
It is to be used as as a home for the poor and unfortunate residents of the town.
All native persons of said town,who maybe reasons of old age,sickness ,or other misfortune,have been rendered incapable of caring for themselves,may find a home here.
