COMMENT:
From: William Carpenter
20 April 2016
John,
This is just a sidebar note to say thank you for describing the background involving the Usher book and Ashman C-12769. I was unaware of the details and found them very interesting.
The available materials concerning Ashman C-21897 contain the usual accretion of myths and half-truths that surround the hard facts. The 1911 SAR application of Ford Ashman Carpenter really is unsupported; the Ashman Carpenter who served in the Morris County Militia appears to be the one who is died in Hardyston, Sussex County, NJ in 1839, not Upper Canada in 1786 (or 1788). Not to be outdone, our Canadian cousins claim UEL status, but he did not appear on the original lists and did not receive a land grant (his sons are in a somewhat different category). The DAR applications specify Ashman Carpenter of Hardyston and run through a female line of descent, so they may well be valid. When this immediate WV research project is over, I will review my file on Ashman C-21897 and his descendants (e.g., notes, estate file from Archives of Ontario, other documents), write-up a digest of the data and send it to you, just in case there is some information that would supplement your existing background information database. ... Additional information by Donald W. Carpenter (born 28 Apr. 1943) of Ontario, Canada. Don supplied family group sheets. Don has birth for Ashman as 1721. The year 1721 & 1725 has both been used, yet me thinks the 1721 is more accurate.
SEE: "Saltfleet: Then and Now" regarding Salfleet Twp., Wentworth county, Ontario, Canada where Ashman Carpenter went in 1783.
CHILDREN: In one record Martin is listed and in another he is missing and a Nancy is the eldest child. Nancy, who married a Hackenberry or Huckenbury, is not correct. Then we have a Martha in Martin's spot in another record. Was Martin Martha and vice versa?
Nancy was probably the daughter of Joseph James Carpenter. Children order is uncertain and other than Gershom's date of birth the rest is a best guess. The first four children may have died young? Could there have been another marriage?

Subject: RE: Descendants of George N. Carpenter
John,
Actually, I have more information than I thought about Ashman Carpenter. I just haven’t entered it or it’s not suitable right now to send as a GEDCOM. Attached are images of two pages on Ashman Carpenter from “Carpenter Of Townsend Township, Norfolk County, Upper Canada. A Long Point Settlement Genealogy. Compiled by R. Robert Mutrie As of June 2001.”
Mutrie wrote the book “The Long Point Settlers” and has continued publishing in the “Long Point Settlers Journal”. There is no copyright on his genealogy although I’m sure you will cite it properly. He has compiled genealogies of many of the families who settled at Long Point but wrote “the entire collection will not be published at this time, nor indeed in the foreseeable future.” I think this information is very reliable particularly for the first generation. It may not be absolutely complete, because Ashman may have a daughter Ruth born about 1763 who died earlier in addition to the children listed in Mutrie’s genealogy. I’m not at all certain about her one way or the other. After the first generation Mutrie’s genealogies are often helpful but not always as complete. He did have some invaluable information about George N. Carpenter from his years in Townsend, Norfolk County, Ontario before, he traveled to Marathon, Lapeer County, Michigan in 1859. Mutrie doesn’t attribute sources in quite as much detail as I would like, but he does in some cases.
I will send his information on Joseph James Carpenter later and what I have accumulated separately on his family probably in GEDCOM. Until then I hope you will find this information helpful.

Carpenter of Townsend Twp
The First Generation
Carpenter, Ashman, born in 1725, died at Queenston, Niagara Twp., Lincoln Co., Upper Canada in 1786.1
He married Mary Boyle of Maidenhead, New Jersey, died in 1815 2 Ashman was buried at Queenstown.
Mary was buried in St. Andrew's Churchyard, Grimsby, Lincoln Co.
In colonial times, Ashman and Mary lived at Hopewell, Sussex Co., New Jersey. Ashman was loyal to the Crown during the American Revolution and afterwards moved to Upper Canada. Ashman died soon after at Queenston. His widow and children then settled in SaItfleet Twp., Wentworth Co. and Grimsby Twp., Lincoln Co. Mary was said to have lived with her son Gershom until her death.
Annals of the Forty wrote concerning this ancestry:
"History states that William Carpenter of Cobham, Surrey England was granted armorial bearings in 1663.
fie was named 'Gentleman of his Majesty's Honourable Chamber Extraordinary'.
"The American branch of this family descended from one William, who with his wife, Abigail and son, John, came to America on the ship 'Bevis' 7 They first settled in Long Island and were connected by marriage with the Bridgeman and Pettit families there. Pettit records show that one of the Long Island Pettits married a daughter of Increase Carpenter and they also had a son bearing that name and no doubt quite appropriately so.
"The time that a part of this family moved from Long Island to New Jersey is not known but before the War of the Revolution, Ashman Carpenter, a descendant of the above mentioned William and John resided in Hopewell, N. J.

Ashman Hope Carpenter
Birth: 1725
Hunterdon County
New Jersey, USA
Death: Feb., 1786
Queenston
Ontario, Canada
Son of Ashman Carpenter 1689 – 1745 and Lucy Amelila ? 1691 – 1734.
--------------------
- from the book "Annals of the Forty" No. 4; Loyalist and Pioneer Families of West Lincoln 1783 - 1833" Published by The Grimsby Historical Society in 1953...
The time that a part of this family moved from Long Island to New Jersey is not known but before the War of the Revolution, Ashman Carpenter resided in Hopewell, N.J. He was born in 1725, married Mary Boyle of Maidenhead, N.J. and, being a Loyalist, emigrated to Canada after the war. He died at Queenston in 1786 and was buried there. Thereafter, his wife, Mary, with her sons and daughters moved further west and settled in Saltfleet and Grimsby Township.
It is said that Mrs. Carpenter resided with her son, Gershom, until her death in 1815. She was buried in St. Andrew's churchyard, Grimsby, and only a portion of the stone which marks her resting place, can be seen embedded in an immense tree which, it is recorded, was planted by her grave shortly after her death.

NAME: No evidence of any middle name, let alone William.
It is evident that this John after the death of his father in 1745 settled in
Gloucester county, NJ near Woodbury, the residence of Judge Carpenter of the
Philadelphia Carpenter Family. The judge had a seal which he used in letter
writing: the impression on sealing wax, the compiler of the CM (in 1898) had in
his possession, which appears to be a copy of the Rehoboth (Greyhound version
of the Carpenter) Coat of Arms.
MARRIAGE: 1743
Per PA Marriages before 1699, page 278: 1743, May 2.
Carpenter, John, and Sarah Driver, area II. SEE: Sarah's notes.
Per the Carpenter Family in America book 1901, page 345: "On Feburary 3, 1743
John Carpenter married Sarah Driver per the records at Christ's Church,
Philadelphia. The CFinA book is in error. Terry Lee carpenter writes:
The 3 Feb 1743 date for the marriage of John Carpenter to Sarah Driver is an error -- I looked up the original bond. The confusion came from misreading the Quaker-style date, 2-3-1743, which is 2nd day 3rd month 1743, i.e., 2 May 1743, not 3 Feb 1743. The bride's name is sometime said to be Mary, but it was Sarah, and she signed the administratrix's oath 'Sarah' after John's death.

WILL: Per the 1901 Book listed above on page 345 indicates John Carpenter of
Deptford made will on 23 May 1760 and it was proved 28 July 1760. His will
directed that his estate be divided into three parts. One for his wife Sarah
and the other two parts for his two children. While the names of the two
children are not mentioned they are later recorded as Benjamin and Samuel.
An endorsement in the will says that "Sarah, widow of John Carpenter, was one
of the people called Quakers."
CONFLICT: The Carpenter and Related Family Historical Journal, Vol. 5, Winter
1994, Number 7, page 417, article by Raymond George Carpenter is in conflict
with the information on this family. The spouse listed in that record is Ann
Van Clease with John Carpenter being born about 1729. Their source is HART
FAMILY CHART.
ALSO the Carpenter Memorial indicates he died about age 21.
Which is right or wrong is unknown.
CONFLICT: Margaret Carpenter Dunton of Middleport, OH in the early 1970s had
a drop chart that shows a Samuel Carpenter who married Mary (Thomas?) as father,
and with a note "No documentary record except family lineage book."
Grandfather on that chart is a Thomas the ggf as John Carpenter of Horsham High
Sherriff of Sussex (Murdered) then gggf Robert Carpenter of Horsham then Thomas,
then William then William of Hereford who died 1520.
This has a note from Raymond George Carpenter that the lineage appears correct for
the first 8 generations. This drop chart was with papers submitted to the Carpenter
Museum in Rehoboth, MA by James A. Carpenter of Bowling Green, KY and was
submitted on 6/03/1983.
QUESTION: Is this another occasion where two families are smashed together? Was John Carpenter b. 1747, Joseph Carpenter b. abt 1751, and Caroline Carpenter b. abt 1753 belong to another John Carpenter another generation? More research needed.
Sarah Mary Driver
NAME:
Sarah per the first part and Mary per the Ancestry part. Which is correct?
Sarah was the daughter of W. (not M.) Driver of Gloucester County, NJ and they were
married at the First Presbyterian church at Philadelphia 2 May 1743 per the
Carpenter Memorial. Resided in Gloucester County, NJ, near Woodbury.
Per the Carpenter Family in America book 1901, page 345: "On February 3, 1743
John Carpenter married Sarah Driver per the records at Christ's Church,
Philadelphia. Is one record an intent or where there 2 John Carpenters?
Also, "on April 8, 1743 John Carpenter purchased land at Deptford, Gloucester
County, New Jersey, in close proximity to the farm of a John Driver
(who appears to be the father of Sarah? Or Uncle?)."
ANCESTRY: Not very good Carpenter ancestry.

John,
This is still my address.
On Hezekiah, son of Abigail:
I have not seen the baptismal records of the First Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia, but you can view them at your local FHL without having to rent the film. At the library go to:
That will probably be a film of the original record (though sometimes it is a film of a copy)
Though unusual, the record of a baptism did occur at 2 different places, usually if the witnesses lived in a different place than the parents. However, I think my citation was wrong. In reviewing the baptismal records for the Dutch Reformed Church of Bensalem, I do not find that baptism. There is a break between 1713 and 1724. The First Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia is probably the correct citation.
One citation I have seen online:
The register of the First Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia, for April 22, 1714, lists the baptism of "Hezekiah son of Abigail Carpenter" at Maidenhead.

TOWN OF BAINBRIDGE.
BAINBRIDGE was constituted a town and named Jericho, February 16, 1791, at which time it formed a part of Tioga county. Its name was changed April 15, 1814, in honor of Commodore Bainbridge of the American Navy. It originally included portions of Norwich and Oxford, which were taken off January 19, 1793; of Greene, one part of which was taken off March 15, 1798, and another the following year; and the present town of Afton, which was taken off November 18, 1857. It lies upon the east border and near the south-east corner of the county. It is bounded on the north by Guilford and Oxford, on the east by Otsego and Delaware counties, on the south by Afton, on the west by Afton and Coventry.

Tioga county was created in 1791 from part of Montgomery county, NY.

Current bet is on the one from Westchester county, NY. JRC 2/2004

possibly died young.
This child's father is listed as Joseph in the AF. This is probably incorrect
since Joseph would have been almost 90 years old to sire the child. This child
prbably belongs to Jesse.

Hi John,
William Haslun gave us your email address; we have been corresponding about
some confusing data concerning the Goshen Carpenter families.
Larry's greatgrandmother was Catherine Keziah Kerr, daughter of Elizabeth
Stewart and William Kerr.
Elizabeth was the daughter of Luther Stewart and Keziah Carpenter. Catherine
wrote down several notes on her family history quite some time before her death
in 1907, she mentions that Luther Stewart was born in 1748, married Keziah
before 1781 (when Catherine's mother Elizabeth was born) and died in 1832. She
also wrote that Keziah was born in 1750 and died in 1823. She also mentioned
that John Bradner was her gggrandfather, that Mrs Bradner's father's name was
Colvil.
Larry's uncle researched these notes, he thought that the family goes back to
John Bradner and Christian(e) Colville through their daughter Susannah who
married Joseph Carpenter in Goshen, and one of their children was the above
Keziah. While I was trying to confirm this I realized that the data published
in several websites, including the LDS databases, is very confusing: they show
Susannah Bradner married to a Joseph Carpenter who was born in 1697 in Jamaica
NY, moved to Goshen, and died the same year he married her. Also the older
group of his children, born in Jamaica, were the same age as Susannah, the
younger group was born in Goshen but before he married Susannah.
The LDS Ancestry Pedigree Chart and the IGI records show:
1. Keziah b.abt. 1738 Goshen, Orange Cty, NY parents Jos. Carpenter &Susanna
Bredner.
2. b. abt. 1740 Chester, NY parents Joseph Carpenter & Mrs Jos. Carpenter
m. Luther Steward, 2 Apr 1780, First Presbyt.
Church,Goshen,Orange, NY
3. Joseph b.1692 d.1797 m.1789 Susanna Bradnor, (10 children including Keziah
b.abt.1742 Jamaica, Queens, NY )
4. m.Susanna Bradnor abt. 1754,Goshen,Orange, NY
5. m.Susanna Bradnor, 1729, Goshen,Orange,NY
d.1775 Conklintown, NY, parents John Carpenter and
Mrs.Elizabeth Carpenter.
Do you have any insights on which of all these records could be the correct
one? Since Luther Stewart, Keziah's husband was born in 1742 or 1748 I think
that he would have married someone more or less the same age, also their last
child was born in 1787, the Keziah b. 1738 would have been much too old to have
children.
Thank you very much, and best regards,
Hanna Orr.
