Brimfield St. Cemetery
Brimfield St., Town of KirklandThe following information was taken from Historical Sketch of the Old Clinton Burying Ground, published by J. B. & H. B. Sykes, 1896, Clinton, New York
Brimfield Street Burying Ground, by R. C. Ellinwood, pg. 25-26
This enclosure contains about seventeen rods. The title to the same is in lease form, dated May 20, 1820, given by Nathan Marsh, of the first part, to Hannaniah Ellinwood, Nathaniel Butler, James Look, Jared Andews, Moses Dickinson, Reuben Ellinwood, Simeon Robbins, John W. Carpenter, William Carpenter, Augustus Carpenter, Eli Ellinwood, Samuel Coe, of Paris, and Charles Babcock of Whitestown, for and in consideration of five dollars, and the sum of two cents annual rental, payable May first, if legally demanded. It is signed by Nathan Marsh, and the witnesses were Jeremiah Matthews and Adolphus Ellinwood.
By the above dates it appears this burial place has been used for interments seventy-six years, and possibly longer. The remains of one soldier of the Revolution honors the enclosure as the guardian of his sleeping neighbors, the roll of whom is as follows:Carpenter, Augustus died Nov. 21, 1873 age 81 yrs

________________________
Town of Paris (part of which became Kirkland in 1827), Oneida Co., NY census of 1814 lists under Carpenter "John W., Oliver, Wm., and William, Jr."
______________________________Resided in Kirkland, Oneida Co., N.Y. William Carpenter, was in the service under his father's command, eight months during the siege of Boston, and later for three full years he served in Captain Toogood's company, Col. John Nixon's regiment; as appears from his discharge now in possession of his son William, which is as follows:
This certificate agrees exactly with the public records in the office of the Massachusetts secretary of state, where, also, is found the evidence of his other tour of service. He served also in the year 1776 - though, as mentioned, in the case of his father there is no official record of the service.
During the foregoing certified term of service, he was under Colonel Nixon, who held a brigadier's commission, and was in the battle of Stillwater or Bemis's Heights, and the battle of Saratoga. During this term of three years, he acted in a two-fold-relation-doing duty as a private soldier, and when not on duty, acting as clerk of the regiment.
Having devoted nearly five years of the ardor of youth, and the vigor of manhood, to the service of his country, he retired to the quiet of his own home, having been paid off, at his discharge, in continental money, utterly worthless for any business transaction, and valuable to his descendants only as evidence of the patriotic service and sacrifices of their ancestor. This continental money, to the amount of one hundred dollars, (the rest having been distributed among friends of the family,) is now in possession of his son William. Let us not speak lightly of this currency, for though coarse the paper, and coarser yet the engraving, and though emphatically a "hard currency" for those who were obliged to receive it as cash, it filled a place and sustained a part in the Temple of Independence.
William Carpenter, the subject of this sketch, having completed his term of three years, besides the other periods mentioned in the aggregate about five years - he returned to Brimfield, Mass., his native town, poorer than when he entered the service, except in the satisfying assurance of having stood for his country's freedom in the years of her darkness and peril.
In 1790 he removed to Kirkland, (then a part of Whiteston, and later Paris,) N. Y., to subdue a forest farm as his future home - and here by his talents and practical education, he made himself generally useful to his own and the surrounding neighborhoods, in facilitating the transaction of business, and adjusting differences among neighbors and friends, till the 5th day of April, 1816, when his spirit passed away. (By R. V. Carpenter, Chicago Ill.)

I found your homepage with Family Tree Maker and am very interested in
your project. I would like to share my Carpenter information with you
and was hoping you would be able to help with the Carpenter Ancestry.
I am descended of Gardner Carpenter b. 3 Jul 1788 in NY (RI?) d. 11 Mar
1849 in Dane County, WI and married Sophia Burdick 11 Sep 1814 in
Linklachen, NY. According to Johnson, THE DESCENDANTS OF ROBERT
BURDICK, Gardner's parents were Josheph Carpenter and Lydia Greeman of
Berlin, NY. According to an old family Bible (I have photocopies of the
pages) Gardner had the following siblings:
Elizabeth b. Jan 1786
Wedon b. Jul 1790
Emily b. 11 Oct 1792
Lydia b. 16 Dec 1794
Polly b. 13 Dec 1796
Sally b. 10 Nov 1798
Deborah b. 11 Nov 1800
Rensselar b. 6 Feb 1802
Experience b. 12 jan 1805
Johnathan b. 27 Jun 1807
No other information is given on the siblings, but the children of
Garnder Carpenter and Sophia Burdick were:
Russell G. b. 24 Jun 1816
Drusilla M. b. 23 Jun 1818 d. 24 Nov 1884

If you have any information on these Carpenters and the ancestors of

information to you as ged.com via e-mail or on a disk?
I look forward to hearing from you.
