Was she a Spaulding by birth?
Number 2352 in the Carpenter Memorial. Page 289
His family is on page 475 (#713).
Elias enlisted in the Revolutionary army from Stratford, VT in Jan 1781, in Captain Well's Company, Col. Samuel B. Webbs' regiment of CT. He served until 4 Jan 1784 and received a pension (App# 21683) from 9 April 1818.
He was the first man to enter Yorktown at the surrender of Cornwallis.
He was a most loyal American until his death, telling with great earnestness reminiscences of the war.
Although he was a pious man and never profane, he invariably spoke of the "tories" as "Damned Tories" so much that one of his grandchildren supposed that "damnedtories" was one word.
The following obituary notice is copied from an old newspaper (image not given):
"Died in Stratford, Feb. 16, 1851*, Mr. Elias Carpenter, one of the few
surviving Revolutionary Soldiers, aged 90. Mr. Carpenter enlisted in the
service of his country under Washington, when 17 years old, and was at the
evacuation of NY and the taking of Lord Cornwallis which decided the
independence of our country. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal
church."
NOTE: *
Died 17 Feb 1852 per death card made in 1919 and 16 Feb 1851 per another older death card. See DEATH & DEATH2 below.COMMENT:
