1848 & 1850 - First 2 children, Ellen and Jane, were born in OH, 1848 & 1850.  (1880 census possibility for Jane listed her born in WI.)

1850 census needed, should be in OH. Maybe WI.

1852-1858, Children, Lewis, James Elliott, Emma O, & John B were born in WI from 1852-1858.

1869 - Child Edna/Edith was born abt 1869 in OH.  Is she a child of Mary Jerusha (Carpenter) and Nathan Dodge or was she an orphan or possible grandchild?  Seems like a long time span between birth of John and Edna/Edith.  Also Nathan Dodge has died sometime between 1860 & 1870,

1899 - Newspaper article - The Carpenters Held Their Eleventh Annual Reunion.  Two Hundred Present.  Originally Descended From A Family of France.  In America Since 1638.  The True Blue Puritan Blood Runs Through Their Veins.  A Happy Affair at the Residence of Hiram Brown and Mrs S M Carpenter, No 854 Prospect Street - A Pleasing Programme Rendered.  Under the trees that shade the lawn beside the residence of Mr Hiram Brown and Mrs S M Carpenter, at No 854 Prospect street, the eleventh annual reunion of the Carpenter Family Association of America was held yesterday, about two hundred of the Carpenters and their relatives being present.  Though the association is a national one, most of its meetings have been held in Cleveland, where there are several hundred Carpenters, descendants of the original New England Rehoboth Carpenters.  They are all descendants of William Carpenter, who came over from England in the good ship Bevis in 1638, and settled in Massachusetts.  The family tradition is that the Carpenters of England were originally the Charpentiers of France, who emigrated in1303 to London, then a very small place, and almost surrounded that city with their farms and gardens.  London grew over the farms.  Of the Charpentiers _____________ who afterward anglicized the name to Carpenter, but they remained the owners of the land to so great an extent that even now more of the land on which London stands is said to be owned by people named Carpenter than by people of any other one surname.  The Carpenters are said to be the largest taxpayers in the world, there being two or three British noblemen bearing the name.  The American branch of the family was one of the earliest and strongest of the old colonial Puritan families, and its association is one of the strongest family associations in the country.  R Almeron Carpenter, of Strongsville, presided at the reunion yesterday. B W Brown, of No 3325 Euclid avenue, being the secretary.  Hiram M Brown, at those house the reunion was held yesterday, has been the historian of the association for years.Tables were spread, and dinner served under tents on the lawn.  After that the members of the association assembled under the trees for the programme that followed.  B E Carpenter was chairman of the entertainment committee.  Charles Adams, of North Ridgeville, began with a patriotic address, in which he referred briefly to the family history and President R Almeron Carpenter talked interestingly of his recollections of pioneer life.  Mrs Carpenter of Berea, read a poem on the months, and Benjamin Brown read a paper dealing with the street car strike, in which he pointed out that both the company and the men were more or less at fault.  Miss Stone of Berea, read some selections from Sam Kiser's Leader poems, and during the progress of the programme several selections were rendered by an orchestra of mandolin and guitar players.  The report of the historian, Mr Brown, was brief, touching only the main facts of the family history and genealogy, all the details being preserved in a great family history book that covers some six hundred years.  Horace Carpenter, of Brunswick OH, was elected president of the association for the coming year, Pliny Haines, of Akron, vice president, Benjamin W Browne of this city, secretary, and H M Brown, also of Cleveland treasurer.  A committee of eight was appointed to arrange for next year's reunion at Berea the first Sunday in September."
