WILLIAM was married twice. His second was to BETSEY (FOSTER) CARPENTER, widow
of ANDERSON CARPENTER (51 in T. Carpenter book.) After his son, WILLIAM was
born, this WILLIAM was known as "SR.".
This unknown spouse most likely died about the birth of her last child. The
next spouse has a child just under 9 months later.

In February of 1811, Israel purchased land in Twp. 1, range 13. The 1850
Harmony census also lists in this household a Phillip BEDDOE, 16, and Charles
HARRINGTON, 16, both born in VT. Israel and Hannah are each given in the
1870 census. Hannah was a daughter of Josiah (17) and Sarah Benedict
Carpenter.
Son Reuben's name is recorded with different spellings, but in his father's
will it is given in this record.
Daughter Phebe is sometimes recorded as Phoebe, but Phebe is used on her
gravestone.
Israel's will ececuted Sept. 27, 1862 with a codicil dated July 6, 1866, was
probated at Mayville Jan. 24, 1872 (Vol.5, p.232). Gravestones were in fair
condition in 1968. Pioneer Cemetery is on land Israel dedicated to the
community. When the cemetery was placed in use, the remains of various
pioneers were removed from the old Carpenter Burial ground, located on the land
of Josiah (17) Carpenter, and re-interred in Pioneer Cemetery. No record is
availible of those remains removed from--or left in--the old burial ground.
The compiler (of Timothy Carpenter Descendants) was recently told the remains
of only those whose idenity was known at the time were removed. Field stones
still remained in the old cemetery in 1970, indicating the remains of both
adults and children are there. The old Carpenter Burial ground was located in
1970 to the rear of the barn on a knoll overlooking the flatlands along Goose
Creek. A Fairbanks family then owned the property.Ellington, Chautaqua, NY has as early settlers as:

This synopsis incompasses both Harmony and North Harmony.
HARMONY was taken off from Chautauqua, Feb 14, 1816. A part of Busti was taken
off in 1823. It comprised townships 1 and 2 in range 13, together with two
tiers of lots in townships 1 and 2 in range 12, from PA line to Chautauqua
Lake, and two additional lots in township 2, 12th range, south of the lake,
which included
the village of Ashville. Making it the largest town in the county.
NORTH HARMONY was taken off from Harmony on Jan 1, 1919. Due to this late date.
The pioneer information of these two towns remains combined for this
synopsis.

ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC OF TEXAS.
https://tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/qja03
[1837] May 7 Col. Joseph H. D. Rogers, the senior officer at headquarters, took command of the army. Within a week, however, a soldier who held a grudge against Col. Henry Teal shot him in his sleep. This incident proved too much for even Sam Houston, who ordered secretary of war William S. Fisher to go to Camp Bowie (in the future Jackson County), the army headquarters, and to furlough two-thirds of the army. The remaining 500 to 600 men were retained only to garrison the most essential posts. Because of its smaller size, the army could then be more adequately maintained by the government while the remaining units were held in almost total inactivity and allowed to dwindle away by expiration of enlistments. By the end of the year only small garrisons at San Antonio and Galveston remained.
- THIS MEANS that James Carpenter was likely in garrison in either San Antonio or Galvestion on 24 Oct 1836. There is about 250 miles between the two locations. Galveston is on the Gulf of Mexico south east of Houston. San Antonio is west of Houston inland.
Galveston was then the major port to supply Texas and had artillery.
San Antonio was a buffer between Mexico and the cities of Austin and Houston. It too had an artillery unit.WILL: 1836

* FACT:
The custom Isaac and Mehitabel practiced of renaming a second child with a name already given took place twice. The second Abner Lewis Carpenter was born (b. 17 Dec 1823) months after the death of an infant sibling named Abner Lewis Carpenter (b. 18 Aug 1822 d. 16 Sep 1823).Isaiah was the second son born to Isaac and Mehitabel who was given the name, Isaiah R. Carpenter. The first child named Isaiah R. Carpenter died in infancy (b. 17 Nov 1825 d. 06 Dec 1826), just short of his thirteenth month.

A MIGHTY HUNTER. MUCH INFORMATION IS GIVEN ABOUT THE PIER FAMILY ON PAGE 20.8212607 4 BATCH AND SHEET Number 0884810 LIBRARY CALL Number.
BETSEY'S gravestone was in good condition in 1968. In his research to
determine when and where OLIVER died, the compiler (Adm. CARPENTER) was
fortunate to come by genealogical data on the PIER family (see OLIVER'S notes)
through the courtesy of the late SIDNEY B. ELSTON of Corryy, PA., register of
vital statistics and treasurer of Pine Grove Cemetery, Corry, PA., in 1966. He
consulted sextons of the following cemeteries, without success, in an endeavor
to locate the burial site of OLIVER: Pine Grove Cemetery, Corry, PA.; McGray
Cemetery, Concord Twp.; Beaverdam (PA) Cemetery, David Curtis Cemetery,
Columbus, PA.; West Lawn Cemetery in Columbus, and the Spring Lake (PA)
Cemetery. A gentleman who tends Corry area graves on Memorial Day and devoted
years to locating forgotten gravesites said OLIVER was not interred in any of
the six PIER lots in Pine Grove. Near the Pine Grove Entrance is a large
granite tablet placed in memory of Civil War Veterans and not necessarily
confined to those interred in the cemetery. The tablet was dedicated to the
cemetery by a JASON C. SMITH, whose wife, MARTHA A. PIER, came from Blockville,

!PIER FAMILY- The following Genealogical information regarding the PIER
family is recorded here so it may not be lost to posterity. It is copied
verbatim from an article prepared by CALVIN A. PIER, son of an OLIVER PIER.
(From the T. C. Book page 20) [I agree with Adm. Carpenter - JRC]The PIERS of Chautautauqua County, N.Y. and nearby counties of PA
are descended from JOHN and LEVI PIER, two grandsons of Sergt. THOMAS and
MARGARET PIER who settled in Great Barrington, Berkshire County, MA about
1730. From whare Sergt. PIER came from to Great Barrington, I have not been
able to ascertain. But if correct he or his grandfather came from England.
Sergt. PIER lived in Great Barrington until his death in 1778 and had a family
of at least eight children as follows:
THOMAS JR., father of JOHN and LEVI, he married RACHEL TREMAINE and lived to be
about 90 yer's old. JOHN died at the age of 14 years.

Barrington engaged in the siege of Boston.

ETHAN who is designated in a deed of 1779 as of Tymouty, Bennington County,
VT.Of Sergt. PIER's sons JOHN and probily DAVID & SOLOMON died before their
father without any descendants. All the PIERS Ive ever met trace their ancestry
to THOMAS of VT; as Sergt. PIER'S sons OLIVER & ETHAN went to VT, it
is likely the were the ancestors of the VT PIERS, quite a number of whose
descendants now live in MI & WI.

CHARLES TAYLOR'S HISTORY OF G. BARRINGTON, and the account is corrobated by
others. ABNER was at the Battle of Stone Arabia in the Mohawk Valley, Oct. 17,
1780, was taken prisoner by the indians one of his captors struck him on the
head with a tomahawk took off his scalp & as he lay helpless they shot him
