Subject: Re: 2a. Group administrator and FTDNA policies on non-Y test kits in Y p
It might take me some time to go through this. I probably won't get to it until after April 15. I still have to do my taxes and as of Sunday am working with the police investigating a break in at my grandmother's house Zadia Dale Price Greathouse. She passed in 2010. I was planning to remodel her house just to have a place to stay in Richwood when want to visit there, but nope... the thieves and druggees aren't going to let us keep anything decent there. It has been broken into three times. It sets on the Greathouse homestead land settled there in 1906 when Ervin M. Greathouse, son of Isaac B. & Sarah Elizabeth Tanner Greathouse moved his family there to run his own lumber tram operation hauling logs to Cherry River Boom & Lumber Company. At first glance at Judith "Polly" Carpenter... I think Jesse Tanner's first wife Mary Elizabeth "Polly" Carpenter nickname may have been attached to Judith by some researchers who didn't catch that Jesse Tanner married Mary Elizabeth "Polly" about 1820. She appears to have died about the time her son William Tanner was born about 1836. She has been reported as daughter of Jesse & Sarah Jane Riffe Carpenter. Jesse next married Judith Carpenter daughter of Jeremiah & Elizabeth Hamm Carpenter about 1827. Their first child appears to have been Thomas Tanner if I recall. I have not seen any records in which Judith was named Polly. I can give you Judith's death record rather quickly, in which Jesse Tanner related her parents as J. [Jeremiah] and Elizabeth [Hamm] Carpenter. Her death register entry is on line 41. -- Rick Greathouse rick@greathouse.us mailto:rick@greathouse.us>
John S. Carpenter
NAME:
Middle name possbly Stanley.
Compare to John Samuel Carpenter-28453. Same spouse name.
See page 48 of the Mowrey 1997 book.
Per page 48: 10. John S. (17) was born about 1808, married? 1st Mary Judith
Miller circa 1834- 2nd Sidney or Sudance Cowger 2 June 1849 and died after 1880
in Webster County, West Virginia.
Mary Judith Miller was a daughter of Samuel and Rebecca (Carpenter) Miller and
John's niece. (NOTE!!!) She is often confused with Mary Carpenter,
daughter of Jesse, and Judith Carpenter, daughter of Jeremiah, who were the
first two wives of Jesse Tanner, because of their commonality in Christian and
nicknames and misinformation in John A. House's never-the-less valuable book,
Pioneers of Roane County, West Virginia, published at Spencer in 1906.
From notes on the other John S. in the Family ...
He was killed in 1835. Is it possible there were two Johns in this family?
One died young? Was there a Mary Miller and a Judith Miller who may have been
sisters?
John, married Judith "Polly" or Mary MILLER, d/o Samuel & Rebecca
(CARPENTER) Miller, Rebecca, d/o Jeremiah & Elizabeth (Mann) Carpenter.
Judith born ca. Judith born ca.1830, married second to Jesse TANNER.
(Judith was a neice of John Carpenter.)
This Judith, or Mary Miller would have been nineteen years his junior,
She was listed as the first marriage of Harper Dist. Roane Co. WV. abt.
1814. As Polly Miller Carpenter, a widow and d/o Samuel. (By
Hardesty's Roane Co. pg. 258)
Elijah Carpenter was born abt. 1828, so this could not be the son of John
S. & Mary "Polly" Miller.
Do not know if this is a son of John S. Carpenter or not.

"Aunt Sis" Hicks was a widely known and respected midwife. Although
she never had any children of her own, she and her husband, Armstrong,
raised three boys; Davison Bumgarner, Bryan J. Reynolds and Cephas Elnathan
Mowrey for all intents and purposes. All of these "outlaw boys" were either
"kin or the same as kin". Armstrong Hicks was a local character noted for his
peculiarities and wry sense of humor around Spencer. He was "of stalwart
frame, full gray beard, homespun clothes and gum boots regardless the time
of year or weather". He was asked if anything could be hotter in July than the
rubber boots he was wearing one summer day as he sat on the courthouse steps.
Normally prone to pondering such innane questions at great length, he
quickly, laconicly, replied, "Yeh, Bub, my feet!"

Sarah Jane Grady
COMMENT:
In the Mowrey book, page 171, Vol. III the following is shown: James
Carpenter, (born 17 May 1835, d: 14 Jan 1914) married Sarah Jane Grady (who was
born 15 September 1837, died 29 July 1918),on 14 March 1853, James was the son
of John S. and Mary Judith (Miller) Carpenter).
This entry does not match earlier records as shown above. It may be that the
confusion as to exactly who or which James Carpenter married Rossana Coger,
or Sarah Grady is shown in the first paragraph of these notes. In the
entering of the Mowrey book I have given precident of that information to the
information contained in the orginal record, however accurate it may be. In
this case I am going to add a marriage for James, even though the marriage
dates are obviously incorrect. It will tie the families together for record
keeping, and won't leave Sarah Jane Grady in limbo. (per John E. Proctor
12/1999) To complete this issue is the entry in the orginal record of a
Sarah Jane Grady, with the same birth date, who is shown to be married to
Elijah Carpenter. The text from the Mowrey book makes the status of Sarah Jane
suspect. To whom was she married? See text below taken from page 182 of the
Mowrey book. From the information in the Mowrey book I am unable to correctly
determine the marriages of Sarah Jane, or if in fact we are dealing with two
individuals. I rather suspect that the husbands of Sarah Jane are mixed up.
NOTE:
Jerome R.S. Mowrey, who married Malinda Carpenter, eldest daughter of Elijah
and Sarah Jane Grady),
Carpenter, is probably the best known of this family- He
supposedly served in both the Union and Confederate Armies at one time or
another during the Civil War and escaped from Andersonville near the end of the
war. OR ... As a Seventh Day Adventist Minister, he travelled back and forth
between southern Ohio and the Shenandoah Valley preaching the gospel, healing
the sick and afflicted and establishing churches. He once burst into a Baptist
Church service preaching Revelations, was arrested for disturbing a public
meeting and later successfully defended himself by serving as his own attorney
at his subsequent trial. His power of persuasion was so great that the jury
deliberated less than half an hour before returning a unanimous verdict to
acquit him of all charges.

Emaline Carpenter
There was two Emaline Carpenters - one generation apart. Which one married
James J. McCourt is the question. It may be strange but did the younger one
marry her cousin named James A. McCourt?

James Addison Carpenter
COMMENT:
Taken from the Mowrey book, Vol. II: Many Carpenter researchers believe
that James Addison was a son of Old Jeremiah after 1830, and tradition says
that his demise occurred in 1832. All available information indicates that
James Addison was born circa 1834/1835. Logic dictates that he would probably
be the son of John S. Carpenter. He is very likely the James who is missing in
the 1860 Census.
NOTE:
Taken from Mowrey book, Vol. II: James Addison Carpenter married circa 1853
Rosanna Coger (born in June of 1835 and died 20 December 1903, daughter of
Benjamin and Mary (Hosey) Coger and granddaughter of Peter and Mary (McElwain)
Coger and John and Mary (Cool) Hosey- two of the oldest families in Braxton
County.
In the Mowrey book, page 171, Vol. III the following is shown: James
Carpenter, (born 17 May 1835, d: 14 Jan 1914) married Sarah Jane Grady (who was
born 15 September 1837, died 29 July 1918),on 14 March 1853, James was the son
of John S. and Mary Judith (Miller) Carpenter).
This entry does not match earlier records as shown above. It may be that the
confusion as to exactly who or which James Carpenter married Rossana Coger,
or Sarah Grady is shown in the first paragraph of these notes. In the
entering of the Mowrey book I have given precident of that information to the
information contained in the orginal record, however accurate it may be. In
this case I am going to add a marriage for James, even though the marriage
dates are obvisouly incorrect. It will tie the families together for record
keeping, and won't leave Sarah Jane Grady in limbo. <--------- !!!

Sarah Jane Grady
COMMENT:
In the Mowrey book, page 171, Vol. III the following is shown: James
Carpenter, (born 17 May 1835, d: 14 Jan 1914) married Sarah Jane Grady (who was
born 15 September 1837, died 29 July 1918),on 14 March 1853, James was the son
of John S. and Mary Judith (Miller) Carpenter).
This entry does not match earlier records as shown above. It may be that the
confusion as to exactly who or which James Carpenter married Rossana Coger,
or Sarah Grady is shown in the first paragraph of these notes. In the
entering of the Mowrey book I have given precident of that information to the
information contained in the orginal record, however accurate it may be. In
this case I am going to add a marriage for James, even though the marriage
dates are obviously incorrect. It will tie the families together for record
keeping, and won't leave Sarah Jane Grady in limbo. (per John E. Proctor
12/1999) To complete this issue is the entry in the orginal record of a
Sarah Jane Grady, with the same birth date, who is shown to be married to
Elijah Carpenter. The text from the Mowrey book makes the status of Sarah Jane
suspect. To whom was she married? See text below taken from page 182 of the
Mowrey book. From the information in the Mowrey book I am unable to correctly
determine the marriages of Sarah Jane, or if in fact we are dealing with two
individuals. I rather suspect that the husbands of Sarah Jane are mixed up.
NOTE:
Jerome R.S. Mowrey, who married Malinda Carpenter, eldest daughter of Elijah
and Sarah Jane Grady),
Carpenter, is probably the best known of this family- He
supposedly served in both the Union and Confederate Armies at one time or
another during the Civil War and escaped from Andersonville near the end of the
war. OR ... As a Seventh Day Adventist Minister, he travelled back and forth
between southern Ohio and the Shenandoah Valley preaching the gospel, healing
the sick and afflicted and establishing churches. He once burst into a Baptist
Church service preaching Revelations, was arrested for disturbing a public
meeting and later successfully defended himself by serving as his own attorney
at his subsequent trial. His power of persuasion was so great that the jury
deliberated less than half an hour before returning a unanimous verdict to
acquit him of all charges.
