!This Stephen was killed by Indians.
The CM has the following note: Mrs. E. Barney writes that Stephen, the father
was killed in the Indian War in Seekonk or Providence. The compiler (Amos B.
Carpenter of the CM) thinks that must be a mistake. If either, it was probably
the son, Stephen number 783.Apparently there was two Elias Carpenters. One born in Woodstock, CT and another who was in Ulster county, NY in 1777 where he abandoned his farm or was killed. Not much information to go on here! It is speculated that either the son or grandson was there.
Henry and Susanna Vesqueau Yaple were said to have occupied the
farm "formerly" belonging to Elias CARPENTER.
"RESIDENCE: Probably late 1771 or early 1772 the family moved
from Upper Milford Township, Northampton County, PA to (the
former Elias Carpenter Farm) the little Dutch colony of Pakatakan,
Ulster County, New York. In 1777 the settlement at Pakatakan was
entirely abandoned, due to the Tories attacks, but in 1783 the families
returned etc.etc."
