Subject: [CARPENTER] Zeno Carpenter 1762
In an attempt to correct much of the erroneous information regarding
Zeno Carpenter born May 18, 1762 in North Castle, Westchester,
NY. As posted in the Feb 7, 1851 Quaker newsletter THE FRIEND as a
memoir/obituary for Zeno Carpenter, son of William and Sarah Seaman
Carpenter. This is an excerpt from: "A Memoir of Friends in Smyrna,
concerning our beloved Friend Zeno CARPENTER, a member and minister
of New Hartford Monthly Meeting."
This our dear Friend, according to his own account, was born in North
Castle, Westchester county, New York, the 18th of Fifth month, 1762,
of honest parents professing the Troth, viz., William and Sarah Carpenter.
He was received a member of the Society of Friends; and about his
twenty-fourth year, he was joined in marriage with Lydia Clark. In
reference thereto he says, "I have and do believe, that it was the
pointings of best Wisdom that we were joined together."
In 1813 he lost his beloved wife, which proved a close trial to him,
yet he was favoured to resign all up to the Lord. In adverting to
which he says, "1 feel in a very tried, lonely situation, no other to
rely upon but God alone, who is my Rock, my Refuge, and safe hiding place."
In 1815, he removed within the limits of Bridgewater Monthly Meeting,
of which Smyrna was then a branch. In 1817 he was married to Sarah
Hoag and in 1822 removed to Utica, where he spent the most of the
remainder of his days.
He quietly breathed his last the 23rd of Third month, 1849, aged 86
years. Now gathered home like a shock of corn fully ripe. " Mark the
perfect man, and behold the upright, for the end of that man is peace."
This Zeno was never married to Hannah Van Duerson.

3957. Willett Carpenter

Number 223 in the book, Carpenter Family in America, 1901 by Daniel H.
Carpenter.  See page 152 & 153 for notes & family.

He was a loyalist and became a Colonel in De Lancey's Battalion and as a
consequence he was forced to leave the country at the close of the
Revolutionary War.  He had been married only a short while, when they left New
York on the ship Cyrus, with his parents & siblings, in September 1783 for what
is now known as St. John, New Brunswick.
On the voyage his wife gave birth to his son Willet, who, as far as the above
reasearcher can tell was their only child.
Col. Willett Carpenter became an extensive ship owner and afterwards in
partnership with David hatfield, was a prosperous merchant at St. John.  He was
communicant of Trinty Episcopal Church, St. John, and a man well known in the
community for his ability and honest dealing.

From: Bakergen@aol.com
Date: 28 October, 1999 6:37 AM
Under the #83 Archelaus Carpenter you have #2 child Elizabeth md. to Caleb
Green.  This is an error in the Carpenter book.  His name was James Green...
in one land grant he is referred to as Thomas Lewis James Green, but James is
what he referred to himself in his will.  I have a copy of a picture of James
(his son-in-law was noted watercolorist Anthony Flower).  They lived near the
Carpenters on Washdamoak Lake in New Brunswick and the Carpenter and Green
families later intermarried again... but not my line.

The incorrect info that has been sent to me and that I have seen posted on
the Internet showed Elizabeth Carpenter married (1) Havelock Mosher and (2)
James Green, and had three children with Mosher - Berton, Kenneth and Sara,
which makes me very ancient indeed.

As far as my New Brunswick ancestors go, I have copies of the microfilmed
original documents that I ordered from the Provincial Archives of New
Brunswick; i.e. an 1811 petition for land where James Green stated his age
and the PANB record (Loyalist documents) stating that Elizabeth Green
(Elizabeth Carpenter) was still alive in 1845. Luckily for descendants of
Elizabeth (Carpenter) Green and James Green, one of their daughters, Mary,
married Anthony Flower who painted many pictures of family and friends in
the early to later part of the 1800s. I found a baptismal record on a GenWeb
site for their youngest daughter Catherine Green that described her as "Black
adult born 4 Oct 1802". I was smitten with the idea that I could be a
"sista"HIPS Firewall enforcing packet but decided I'd better check it out. I contacted the transcriber who
sent me a jpeg of the document. I replied that it looked to me like it was
the father's occupation of Blacksmith and he agreed.

I realize the huge importance of documentation. Two of my female ancestors
married to Moshers were Mayflower descendants and though the GSMD is very
strict about documentation, as they should be, I currently have membership
in the Society as a descendant of four heads of families. Finding
documentation to prove my Margaret Ann Pineo's descent from Miles Standish
and Henry Samson has proven to be much more difficult! But that's one of the
most challenging and enjoyable parts of genealogy.

There was a Thomas and Thomas, Jr., who served in the Revolutionary War
from Dutchess County.
MISC: There is no Thomas, Jr. in the above record.  The Thomas Frost who
married Phebe Carpenter (daughter of Archelaus & Rebecca (Goulding) Carpenter)
was probably the Thomas, Jr. that should be a son to Thomas Frost
born 17 May 1718. See below.
THOMAS FROST, who d. between 1774-1783, m. Phebe, b. July 7, 1764, daughter
of Archelaus (Hercules, Ar'cles) and Rebecca (Goulding) Carpenter. The
compiler has been unable to learn whom the parents of the above Thomas
were, but there is a tradition in the family that his son Archelaus was
born and raised on Long Island and that the family were a "well-to-do" one,
owning their slaves, etc., and that Thomas had a brother who went to Nova

This cemetery is on land originally granted to John Jarvis, and known as Lot No. 38. It is in a field behind some tumble down buildings. The property is owned by a man living in Germany. The out-buildings are in bad shape and the house is beginning to go. There is only one headstone in sight and it is broken in two. People living along the road say that there are a number of Wordens burried there, but no signs of any graves. The last Worden living on the place was Arthur and his wife Hettie..

LEVI FRANCISCO (John Francisco, Henry, John Fransoy) was a Revolutionary War Soldier and eventually, a pensioner. He was granted a pension of $16.66 semi-annually on 2 Sept 1833, and an additonal amount of $83.33 in arrears. Following is the text of Levi Francisco's petition claim for a pension:
"State of New YorkCounty of Ontario..."
..."On this twenty seventh day of August in the year eighteen hundred and thirty two personally appeared in open court before the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas, of the town of Gorham in the County of Ontario, aged seventy five years who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his own make the following declaration in order obtain the benefit of the provisions of the act of Congress passed June 7, 1832."..."That he entered the Service of the United States under the following named officers and served as herein stated----"..."In the Fall of the year 1776 but in what month he cannot distinctly recollect, the company of Militia to which he belonged was ordered into actual service and the deponent with the said company marched from Pittstown in the County of Rensselaer and State of New York then called Schaghticoke District - to Fort Edward on the Hudson River, the said Company on the said Expedition was commanded by Captain Henry Vanderhoof, Lt. Ford and Ensing Hollenbeck, and was attached to Col. John Knickerbocker's Regiment of which Daniel Bradt was Lt. Col. and Derick VanVechten was Major. The said Company and Regiment were engaged on the same expedition,three or four weeks before they returned and with the deponent were dismissed."..."Deponent further saith soon after such return he was with the said Company and Regiment again called into actual service and marched under the command of the same officers up the Hudson River and into the vicinity of the same places as on the former expedition, and on such expedition, was in actual service at least one month when he was again dismissed."..."In the Month of May of June according to the best of his recollection, the said company of the Militia to which the deponent belonged as aforesaid was again called into actual service, and the deponent marched under the command of the same officers as before and in the same Regiment to Lake George in the State of New York, at which place they joined a part of the Army under Gen. Schuyler, then retreating from Ticonderoga. After serving with the army subsequent to so having joined it about two months, one half of the Regiment to which he was attached as aforesaid were dismissed and returned home to secure the harvest then ripe and deponent was one of those so dismissed."..."In the Autumn of the year 1778 the said deponent in the same Company, under the same officers, but in a Regiment of Militia then commanded, according to his recollection by Col. Peter Yates and Maj. John Groesbeck, was again called into actual service at Saratoga aforesaid and was occupied in the said expedition one month - or more."..."In the Autumn of the following year (1779) the said deponent was again called into actual service in a Company of Militia then under Capt. Woolsey, and Ensign VanDerCook and marched to Fort Edward at which place and at Saratoga deponent was in Service as a soldier two months--and was then dismissed."..."Early in the Summer of the Year 1780, deponent again marched under the Command of Ensign VanDerCook in Col. Yates' Regiment, to Fort William Henry at the head of Lake George. Part of the troops crossed at the Lake and part reurned and were discharged. Among the latter was the deponent having been engaged on said expedition at the time he was so discharged more than one month."..."The said deponent further saith that during the year of the Revolution sudden alarms occured and the company to which he belonged, uniformly turned out--or were called out to repel the enemy, and deponent saith that on every such occasion he marched with his said company and discharged his duty as a soldier as faithfully as was in his ower--that he was repeatedly in actual service on occasions not above particularly specified from one day to two weeks at a time--all the particulars of which it is impossible for him to now state--"..."The said deponent further saith That he was born at Horseneck in the State of New Jersey on the 12th day of March 1757.2nd "That he has no other record of his age than a memorandum thereof...(illegible) made of his parents."
