Hi John,
I posted a question to another ancestry subscriber, jewellra1,
regarding the "Samuel Flowers b abt 1761 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana"
that she had in her tree.
>Hi jewellra1,
>
>I am interested in the Samuel Flowers b abt 1761 in Baton Rouge,
>Louisiana that you have in your CE2009March05 tree.
>
>I have been reading the early Natchez Court Records (1726 - 1826)
>and looking at other information on this period.
>
>I have that Samuel Flowers b 1752 (unknown location), a physician,
>arrived in the Natchez District, Mississippi Territory in 1782, and
>outfitted himself for farming in 1786, based on the court records.
>
>I also have that he married Mary Carpenter, daughter of Richard
>Carpenter and Mary Fairchild, again from the court records. Mary
>Carpenter Flowers was listed in Richard Carpenter's will in 1788 in
>the Natchez District court records.
>
>Other Flowers names that are listed are: Josiah Flower, Ezekiel
>Flower, D Flower (male), Elisha Flower, Amanda Flowers, Elizabeth
>Flowers, Huldah Flowers, Phebe Flowers, and Mary Flower.
>
>I am trying to figure out if any these Flowers are related to my
>ggg-grandfather William Flowers b abt 1780, possibly in SC. William
>was in Claiborne County, Mississippi by 1820. He died in Yazoo
>County, Mississippi in 1866.
>
>I have y-DNA results from one of his male descendants that eliminate
>a lot of the Flowers lines in the "Flowers Chronicles" book.
>
>There are several other William Flowers about the same age appearing
>early on in Mississippi that I am pretty sure I have also eliminated.
>
>I would be interested in any documentation that you have on the
>Samuel Flowers above and his siblings and/or off-spring.
>
>I have a private tree that I am using for my research on various

Her response to me was that the information came from the Carpenters
Encyclopedia of Carpenters 2009 data DVD info
http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/c/a/r/John-R-Carpenter
I am wondering if you could possibly send me what you have on Samuel
Flowers from the CD? I am not really following the Carpenters. I am
only interested in this one person, and it may be that he is not even
the sam person that is on your CD.
Thank you in advance for any help.

MORE:
I have that Dr. Samuel Flowers who married Mary Carpenter was
actually born in Pennsylvania in 1854. He and Mary married in
Pennsylvania in 1777 and the couple and her parents came to the
Natchez area about 1787 with other settlers from the Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania and New Jersey area. These settlers are often referred
to as "the Jersey Settlers". There is an organization of
descendants, three published volumes of genealogical information, and
a website that has some additional interesting data. See
http://www.natchezbelle.org/sw/ and http://www.djs.org/
I have a private tree on ancestry that I am using for research on the
various Flowers' lines. It is private only because it occasionally
contains "speculative" relationships that I am trying to prove or
disprove. I can send you an invitation to it if you are interested.
My public tree is here.
http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/784020/person/-1336194349
Right now it says that my ggg-grandfather William was born in South
Carolina because that is what the original research done by my
mother's cousin in the 1940s and 1950s contained, but I am
increasingly questioning this conclusion.
Thank you again for sending me this information. If you would like
an invitation to my private tree, let me know.
Best regards,

I believe that Samuel Flowers' son William may be my ggg-grandfather.
He married one or more unknown women and had ten children. I am sure
of the names of six of them. One of his sons, my gg-grandfather,
Benjamin Franklin Flowers, was born in 1826 in Yazoo County,
Mississippi.
If I am correct, William Flowers may have lived back and
forth in both Louisiana and Mississippi in the earlier years of his
life. Most of this information comes from early Natchez records,
including court records, and Spanish archives relating to Louisiana
during the period.
It is useful to have some understanding of the various entities
claiming and/or controlling the lower Mississippi River area in the
late 1700s. See

Dr. Joel Carpenter
MISC:
A strip of Revolutionary War hat band with a note about Dr. Joel Carpenter, from an aunt to Mary S Carpenter Worden dated April 22, 1900.
See image: RIN 17688 Joel Carpenter note.jpg
He was a surgeon in the Revolutionary War.
Joel moved with his father when he was young to Ashford Conn. Joel was in
Hardwick Mass. as early as March 25, 1752. He was a physician and he acted as surgeon's mate in the army.
On Dr. Joel Carpenter's gravestone in Ellington, Conn. it is stated that he
died Jan. 25, 1789, aged 69 years. The compiler thinks there must be some
mistake in the gravestone record, as the Hardwick records tend to show that he was about 21 years of age when in Hardwick. Therefore, the compiler is inclined to believe that the correct date of his birth was Aug. 11, 1732. Though the marriage indicates that his birth occured some years earlier than that, as his wife, Mary Ruggles was born in 1728.
He served in the Revolutionary war as surgeon. After leaving the army, he
lived for many years on a farm in Ellington, Conn. and practiced as surgeon and physician. Edwin Hubbard of Chicago has it that Joel was born in 1720, which the compiler thinks is a mistake. This Hubbard record of 1720 has caused the compiler much trouble and work to reconcile this Joel born aug. 1732 with Joel of 1720; we believe in Mr. hubbard as to accuracy in all of his antiquarian researches; but in this case we are obliged to take exceptions. It is very evident that this Joel was the son of Dan Carpenter of Ashford, Conn., where some of his descendants have jived to the present time. Dan was born in Swansea, mass., Feb. 26, 1708, If his son Joel was born in 1720, Dan would then hav been only 12 years of age. If born in 1731 he would have been 24 years of ge, which would appear very reasonable.
After his marriage it appears that he returned to Woodstock or Ashford, Conn., where his family were born. At the breaking out of the Revolutionary war he enlisted as surgeon, and probably served through the war. On his return he settled in Ellington, Conn., where he practiced medicine until his death, Jan. 25, 1789, aged 57 years. The marking of his gravestone was probably taken from the Hubbard record, which would make his age 69.

URIAH CARPENTER’S REMAINING YEARS
Although Uriah Carpenter, using the alias Stephen Howard, fled from Portsmouth, Rhode Island, in August 1765,37 he likely returned there and remained there
for several years. The births of two daughters of Stephen and Ruth Howard were
recorded in Portsmouth: Sarah, born 23 December 1765; and Hannah, born 4 January
1768.38 Amos B. Carpenter, apparently unaware of Uriah’s divorce from Lucy Wyman and his bigamous marriage to Ruth Albro, assigned the marriage of Uriah Carpenter and Martha Bartlett in Cumberland, Rhode Island, on 4 September 1768 to
the Ashford man.39 Uriah and Martha Carpenter’s son Nathan, born in Cumberland,
on 16 January 1769,40 would have been conceived in March or April 1768, only two
to three months after the birth of Stephen Howard’s daughter Hannah. This tight time
line, although not impossible, makes the identification of the Uriah Carpenter, who
married Lucy Wyman, as the man who married Martha Bartlett questionable. Supporting this uncertainty, is the witness of an Oliver Carpenter to the document of
Uriah Carpenter of Glocester, Rhode Island, husbandman, and Martha his wife, dated
13 October 1772, in which Uriah and Martha acknowledged the receipt of 45£ 10p,
as her portion of father Job Bartlett’s estate, from her brother John Bartlett.41
Amos B. Carpenter credited Uriah Carpenter with Revolutionary War enlistments from Westminster, Vermont, Oxford, and Danvers, Massachusetts.42 Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors of the Revolutionary War, however, transcribed these ...
Page 57
... enlistments as three separate entries, possibly suggesting more than one man. The 15
or 19 May 1778 Oxford, Massachusetts, enlistment of Uriah Carpenter, aged 35
years, 6 feet tall, light complexion, light brown hair, light blue eyes, born in Ashford,
Connecticut, certainly belongs to the husband of Lucy Wyman.43 By 1800, Uriah
likely had returned to his Ashford birthplace where the census enumeration of Uriah
Carpenter included a man and a woman of 45 years and upwards.44 Amos B. Carpenter reported that Uriah Carpenter died in January 1821.45

Subject: Uriah Carpenter (2676)
Hello,
My article about Uriah's wife Lucy Wyman was published in Vermont Genealogy in 2018. If you have not seen it, I will send you a pdf copy.
The article documents that Lucy petitioned for a divorce from Uriah in Sept. 1765. Uriah deserted Lucy and, using the alias Stephen Hayward/Howard, entered into a bigamous marriage with Ruth Albro in April 1765. Lucy's mother's will of 1782 names only two Carpenter grandchildren - Martha and Frederick. It is unlikely that Uriah (6388) was Lucy's child. Lucy later remarried and had five children with the surname Wakefield.

ASHFORD AND WOODSTOCK, CONN., AND BROOKFIELD, VT.

... of Lucy Wyman, second daughter of Mary (Wright) (Wyman) Sessions, as the mother of Martha and Frederick Carpenter, and Ebenezer, Wyman, Harve[y], Lucy, and Mary Wakefield. This will not only disclosed William Wakefield’s additional, previously unidentified, daughter Lucy, but also disclosed, by omission, that Lucy Wyman was not the mother of William Wakefield’s son John.14
Lucy Wyman married Uriah Carpenter, J[u]nr in Union on 5 December 1759.15
Their daughter Martha Carpenter was born there on 30 November 1761.16 On 18January 1762, Lucy Carpenter and Abner Sessions witnessed the deed of Jabez Hendrick of Springfield, Massachusetts, selling land in Union to Shubial Child of Woodstock, Connecticut.17 In February 1762,
Lucy Carpenter renewed the Baptismal Covenant in the Congregational Church in Union.18 On 18 January 1764, Uriah Carpenter and Lucy Carpenter of Union [relationship not recorded] sold, for £50, sixty acres of land there to James Crawford, Junr of Union “…Sd land is part of ye Estate Real of Mr Ebenezer Wyman Late of sd Union Decest [deceased] which Deuision [division] of ye Estate was set off to the Said Lucy as one of the Heirs…”19
On the same date, Uriah Carpenter and Lucy Carpenter sold, for £10, ten acres of land in Union to James Crawford, Junr.
20
Given the times and mores of the 1760s, it would be expected that Lucy (Wyman) Carpenter was a widow when she married widower William Wakefield.
On 16 September 1765, however, Lucy petitioned for a divorce from husband Uriah Carpenter:21
To the Honoble the Supr Court to be holden Windham within and for the County of Windham on the 3d Tuesday of Sept
Instant The petition of Lucy Carpender of Union in sd Windham County Humbly sheweth & Informs that on the 5th Day of December 1759 She was Lawfully Joyned in Marriage with Uriah Carpender of Ashford in sd ...

Lucy Carpender
Included in the Lucy Carpender Divorce File is a letter, most certainly written by
Uriah Carpenter:22

Lucy’s divorce petition reported that husband Uriah Carpenter deserted her in June
of 1762.26 As shown by deeds, dated 18 January 1764, Lucy and Uriah were together
for at least a brief period in early 1764.27 By 9 September 1764, Uriah was living in
Portsmouth, Rhode Island, was using the alias Stephen Howard/Hayward, and was
planning a late night meeting with cousin Rebekah Hayward in Ashford on 6 November 1764.28 The birth of Uriah and Lucy’s son Frederick Carpenter was recorded
in Union deeds as 6 January 1766.29 However, Uriah, as Stephen Howard, entered
into a bigamous marriage with Ruth Albro on 28 April 1765,30 about the same time
that Frederick would have been conceived. It is unlikely that Lucy would have petitioned for a divorce in September 1765 if she were expecting a child within four
months. Frederick’s birth was recorded on a page where several of the preceding
births were dated 1770 and several of the succeeding births were dated 1770 and
1771.31 Frederick’s birth, likely recorded at least four years after his birth, was possibly in error. A birth date of 6 January 1765 for Frederick Carpenter would be in
agreement with Uriah Carpenter’s presence in Union in early 1764 and Lucy Carpenter’s petition for a divorce in late 1765. Transcription, from Union Deeds, shows
that three of Lucy’s children, Frederick, Ebenezer, and Lucy, were entered consecutively at the same time:
Frederick Carpenter Son to Uriah Carpenter by Lucy His Wife Was Born January ye 6th 1766
Ebenezer Wakefield Son to William Wakefield by Lucy His Wife was Born September 18th 1767, but sd Ebenezer was born in Woodstock
Lucy Wakefield Daughter to William Wakefield by Lucy his wife was born October ye 25th 1769
Sometime after 12 June 1772,32 Lucy likely joined her husband William Wakefield in Pomfret, Cumberland County, New York [later Pomfret, Windsor County, Vermont]. ...

Presumably, within the two years following the birth of daughter Mary Wakefield in
Hartford, Vermont, on 18 February 1776,35 Lucy (Wyman) (Carpenter) Wakefield
died. By 1778, William Wakefield married a third, unidentified, wife who was the
mother of son John.36
