E-MAIL: Sat, 21 Aug 1999. From: Linda Hannah .
Dear John R.,
I just got 50 pages of Reynolds/Carpenter printout from Steve Roth who
has a new Reynolds book out. He has proven to me that Elizabeth Reynolds, b.
abt.1700 d. Mar 1799, married on 25 Dec 1735  to Jeremiah Carpenter, b. 1716
d. Mar 1792 (I just got back from the Carpenter Hill Orchard Cemetery where
they are buried in Benninton, VT) is not the daughter of Frances Reynolds
but of Joseph Reynolds III, son of Joseph Jr, son of Joseph Sr, son of James
and Deborah Reynolds, the first immigrants!
In the probate of Joseph III's will he gives Jeremiah Carpenter 114
lbs sterling. As you know back then they gave the money to the husband of
the daughter. This is the money they used to buy the 800 acres on what is
now called Carpenter Hill in Bennington. I always wondered how they got
moved up there from RI! So Henry Suydam Reynolds was mistaken in his book on
that fact.
I am asking Mr. Roth to send me the original probate paper if it
exsists or where to find the information.

7-5-23 thanks to GrierHPharmD (49672101) for removing maiden name Carpenter with the following explanation:
The only links Isabel Hadley has to the Carpenter family of Rhode Island is found in old LDS records. This mistake has crept into her genealogy files in several systems. Her maiden name is unknown.

This suggests parent links are incorrect, which we will leave for now to possibly help clarify the widespread mistake on the children of Jeremiah, ks.

Edmund Rathbun

NOTE:
Edmund was the son of John Rathbun III and Patience Fish

This information was submitted by Ruby Joan Moody Angell, Box 568, Oilton, OK,
74052-0568, John Proctor wrote to her in Nov of 1995 for a connection to the
Fish family, as Paulina Fish, married Andrew Smith on Oct. 26th,
1853.   Andrew Smith was Lucile Latsons, John's mother, grand-father.

DEATH:  
They ... settled near present-day Wheeling, West Virginia, then part of Ohio County , Va . ... Edmund died there in 1801, and was buried in Jul 1801 in Little Pigeon Creek, Ohio, Virginia,

COMMENT:
There is NO Little Pigeon Creek in Ohio County, Virginia which is now in West Virginia.
West Virginia became a state in 1863 and it was the western counties of Virginia since 1781.  When the Virginia Colony was organized its western boundary was not defined. The present day states of West Virginia, Kentucky (then 1776 Kentucky County, VA) and the far southern parts of Ohio and Indiana were all Virginia in 1801.  
Ohio County, Virginia was created in 1788 from the District of Augusta. The present day Ohio County, WV is in a narraow piece of land that extends north (also called a pan handle), from West Virginia bordered in the east by the State of Pennsylvania and Ohio to the west.
In present day Ohio County, WV there is no Little Pigeon or Pigeon creek, run, tributary or any thing similar.  
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Rivers_of_Ohio_County,_West_Virginia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tributaries_of_Wheeling_Creek
There are a lot of Pigeon Creek or Rivers in America. There is even one in Mingo County, WV which is 250 some miles from Ohio County, WV.
BUT ... The closest one to Ohio County, WV is ....
http://www.virginiaplaces.org/boundaries/cessions.html
But in an area next to an area ceded to Western Pennsylvania by Virginia by 1781 which also acknowledged in 1783/1784 that the western boundary of Virginia was the Ohio River.  There is several Pigeon Creeks near Washington, PA which over 40 miles eastward from Wheeling, WV using the I-70 to Somerset Township and just east of State Highway 519.  Just east  you will see branches of Pigeon Creek called the Northern Branch ( 40.13290443345783, -80.10392667737571 ), Center Branch ( 40.13290443345783, -80.10392667737571 ) and Southern ( 40.13290443345783, -80.10392667737571 ) Branch  of the that river that flow mostly eastward deeper in PA  Pigeon Creek flows through Bentleyville, PA ( 40.11659411702687, -80.00843023991992 )!   
Then there is a Pigeon Creek northwest of Akron, OH in Summit County at: 41.111700190593865, -81.67337789186745
AND then the most claimed one associated with the story is ...
Little Pigeon Creek Community, also known as Little Pigeon Creek Settlement and Little Pigeon River settlement, was a settlement in present Carter and Clay Townships,[1]: 271–272, 412 [2] Spencer County, Indiana along Little Pigeon Creek.[3] The community, in the area of present-day Lincoln City, Indiana,[1][a] was established from frontier land by 1816.[4]   ...  In 1820 there were 40 or more families, including Abraham Lincoln's family, that lived in the community.[3][b]
See also:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Pigeon_River_(Indiana)
FYI - this last one is almost 440 miles west of Wheeling, WV!

Memorial #: 95236976
Bio:
Edmund fought at the Battle of Ticonderoga in 1758 and at the siege of Quebec in 1759. (French and Indian War) He moved his family first to Berkshire County, Massachusetts by 1774. In the 1780's he moved to New York, first to Little Hoosick. Albany County, New York and then after 1787 to Delhi, New York. "One of the earliest western pioneers of whom we have a record is Edmund Rathbone (1737-1801), son of John3 Rathbun (John2-'). After serving in the Revolution , he moved about 1785 with his wife and eight children from Tyringham, Mass ., to Delhi , Delaware County , N.Y., where he operated a mill. About 1796, probably accompanied by his oldest son, John, and John's family , Edmund set out for the west in a horsedrawn wagon . They probably followed the Susquehanna River valley south into Pennsylvania and then followed the Ohio River westward. On their trip, they fell in with another west-bound immigrant, Isaac Taylor, and his family. They all continued together and settled near present-day Wheeling, West Virginia, then part of Ohio County , Va . They were joined in the next year or two by Edmund 's wife , Mercy, and younger children - Edmund Jr. and Lovica, both of whom married children of Isaac Taylor. Edmund died there in 1801 , and was buried in Jul 1801 in Little Pigeon Creek, Ohio, Virginia, United States 8 9 10.). The cause of his death was The effect of drinking too much water while overheated from working.

Marriage and children now seem questionable. More research needed.


1616. Robert Carpenter

BOOK: Carpenter, Rehoboth Family, Book 929.273 C225c, G.S. by Amos B.
Carpenter, pub. 1898. p. 129. Listed as Number 671.
Robert was son of Christopher, son of Oliver, etc.  He was the third child of Christopher.
"Robert was b. March 5, 1722, at East Greenwich;  m. lst Charity Roberts Oct 26, 1755; md. 2nd
Mercy. Page 244, in the Carpenter, Rehoboth Family book above,
Robert b.1722, has six children.  There is information on that page for the first
5, and Robert (b. abt. 1775,) is listed as #6, and he is the only one listed without dates.
Robert of 1722 may have had a daughter that isn't listed.
Robert of 1775 is by the second marriage so his mother would be Mercy.

THE FOLLOWING IS NOT FOR THIS ROBERT CARPENTER - See RIN 7886.
Robert Carpenter of Kingson enlisted as Corporal in the Continental Army, in Capt. Keith's Company, Col. Michael
Jackson's Regiment; served (payroll report) from April 24, 1777 to Oct. 7, 1777; reported killed on Oct. 7, 1777; enlisted again in the Continental army, Capt. Aaron Gray's Company, Colonel Pyncheon's Regiment; enlisted for three years Feb. 9, 1778.

The service record for Robert Carpenter (about halfway down the page) begins by identifying him as from "Kingstown (also given Palmer)." It was presumably the assumption that this was Kingstown, Rhode Island, that caused Amos B. Carpenter to paraphrase (poorly) this service record as part of the listing for Christopher5's son Robert (ABC, 129). That, of course, is dubious on its face: rarely did a Rhode Island resident enlist in the Massachusetts Line. More to the point, however, "Kings Town" was one of the so-called archaic names of Palmer (William Francis Galvin, Historical Data Relating to Counties, Cities and Towns in Massachusetts, 5th ed. [Boston, 1997], 89-90). The elder Robert therefore cannot, on the basis of his service record at least, be identified as the Robert Carpenter born at East Greenwich on 25 (not 5, as per ABC, 149) March 1722, son of Christopher5 (Oliver4, etc.).
