E-MAIL: Thu, 15 Mar 2001 From: Bruce E. Carpenter "carpenter"
I typed in my distant uncle Benajah Carpenter's name on the excellent googles serach engine site.
Uncle Benajah was an artillery officer in the Revolution. His name came up with the great news his cap
is still extant in a museum in New York City. He was killed in the Battle of Brooklyn. Makes my day.
Bruce Carpenter
"One of the leather caps worn by the Rhode Island Company, that which belonged to Lieutenant Benajah Carpenter, may be seen in the museum of the Sons of the Revolution, in Fraunces Tavern, in New York City. It is a small black leather helmet, or cap, formed of six pieces of jacked leather sewn together, forming a cone shape, with a small brown and red tassel at the top. The odd-shaped front of heavy black jacked leather is decorated with a
gold painted anchor shaded with dark red, with the motto "For Our Country" painted above the anchor, in gilt letters on a red ground. Under the anchor, also in gilt letters on a red ground, is the Latin motto "In te, Domine,
speramus." At the base of the cap on both sides are two small brass buttons with bone backs, having on the face of each a convex anchor. Buttons stamped the same were worn on the jackets of brown faced with red. "

When looking further uncle Benajahs name came up in the George Washington Papers now being published by the University of Virginia. There were two other Carpenters mentioned in the index. One a Richard.

Number 1864 on page 254 in the Carpenter Memorial.
Family on page 426 (#605). Residence Lyndon, VT. He moved there in 1796 and
went into a school house to live until he could build a house of his own.
He was a soldier in the Revolutionary War - was engaged in the battle of
Monmouth, and Redbanks, and also in a skirmish at Harlem Heights, where he was
wounded by a musket ball which he received in his side and carried it with him
to his grave.
It was probably this Abel Carpenter who was Ensign in the 2nd RI
regiment, Israel Angel, colonel, and was promoted in the same company to 2nd
Lieutenant, services rendered in 1777 and 1778.
He reside in Lyndon at the time of his death. he was one of the select men of
the town for 20 years, and filled various other offices in town with honor to
himself and credit to the town. He never was confined to his bed a day in his
life by illness until his last sickness, 10 days before he died.
The family monument to Abel Carpenter Esq., one of the Revolutionary soldiers,
was the first monument errected in the cemetery at Lyndon, VT.
An Abel Carpenter served in the Revolutionary war as private in Captain Hicks
company, Col. Thomas Carpenter's regiment, Aug. 2, 1780; served 6 days; marched
to Tiverton on the RI alarm. The compiler of the Carpenter Memorial
is not sure if this last Abel Carpenter is the same as this Abel Carpenter.

We (Amos B. Carpenter of the CM) thinks it is this John who enlisted as
private in Capt. Nathaniel Carpenter Company, Col. Carpenter's Regiment in
the Rhode Island scare dated Dec. 8, 1776. He served 16 days and marched
from Rehoboth to Bristol. He enlisted a second time in Capt. Dodge's Company,

Bethiah French
DEATH:13 April per the CM. 15 April per the AF. Both in 1754, yet she

John,
I found your e-mail address on the Carpenter Family DNA website. I am Charles E Sibre, age 68, living in Annandale, VA. Genealogy is a hobby. My wife, Ellen, was adopted as a baby. Her adopting mother, Edith Burnham Russell, is a descendant of Elizabeth Carpenter (b.4/18/1786 Leyden, Franklin, MA - d. 09/10/1849 Craftsbury, Orleans, VT). Elizabeth was Edith's great, great grandmother. Elizabeth Carpenter is the daughter of Nathaniel Carpenter (1/13/1743 Rehoboth, Bristol, MA - dead 1786 or 1826) and Elizabeth Carpenter (maiden name) (1/13/1743 Rehoboth - died unknown Cumberland, RI).
Ellen has inherited a family scrapbook, assembled by her grandfather, that has an original, handwritten, linen-paper, sheet of the Nathaniel and Elizabeth Carpenter family - starting with their marriage 1765 through the birth of their 10th child Elizabeth in 1786.
I am searching for a Carpenter family association or group to whom I can send an image and transcription of this valuable document, but have not found one as I have for many of Edith's other old New England ancestors. Do you know of one? Of multiple ones who would be interested?
Charles

In my wife's family records is an ORIGINAL handwritten marriage and child birth record, that is 256 years old, that is on waxed linen paper starting at the marriage of Nathaniel Carpenter (b. 1/13/1743 in Rehoboth, son of David Carpenter and Johanna Walker) and Elizabeth Carpenter (b. 12/20/1746 Rehoboth, dau of Jotham Carpenter Jr and Mehitable Thompson). It records from their marriage on 5/9/1764 in Rehoboth to the birth of their 10th child Elizabeth Carpenter b. /18/1786, plus some later family additions showing the descent line down to Amanda Root Graves and Albert Mattoon Graves. The ORIGINAL is in a family scrapbook assembled by Kenneth H Graves Russell, the father of my wife's mother. This seems to us to be a very valuable document and we will be happy to share an image of it, and a transcription of its contents (though I can't find that right now). This messaging system does not allow attachments. is there a better organization to get this information to? If interested, contact me at csibre@yahoo.com

Cynthia Carpenter
BUFFALO, SEPTFMBER 23-95.
AMOS B. CARPENTER, ESQ., Dear Sir --Yours of the 4th inst. was
duly received and a few days after I sent you a copy of the
Times of this city which contained a copy I had made of those
things I thought would do you the most good in the way of
calling attention to the matter. I looked the matter up about
which you have made inquiry some thirty years ago but have none
of the data gathered at that time at hand now. I have written to
Montague where I was born, and hope so get something from my
mother that will be of benefit to you. The only obstacle in the
way is her extreme age, she being now past 84.
As to her, she was the daughter of Cynthia, who was the daughter
of Cynthia, (No.2008)whose father died at Montague. He was a
soldier In the revolutionary war; and his children were Cynthia,
Abel, (Troy), Nathaniel, Joseph C., and Eliza.
David (Leyden) was the father of D. N. Carpenter of Greenfield
and died about a quarter of a century ago. He was the father of
C. C. Carpenter in command of the United States Navy at this
time in Chinese waters.
You may not be aware that I have been away from my 'base of
supplies' for more than thirty years. Because of this fact I
Cannot recall individuals, names or dates with the same
exactness as when still upon my native heath. I have therefore
written to my mother who has had two strokes of paralysis since
April, and it is possible that I may be able to get something of
service to you from some observation she might make. I trust
this is so, because it cannot be long before she goes to join
those who have gone before.
Although my name is not Carpenter, I have always been proud of
the strain and name of the family. For they have always been
found in honorable places. So far as my personal observation has
gone, there has never been a black sheep in the flock and it is
my opinion from the jealous care with which they have preserved
the name, that it is worth all the additional honor you can give
and bring to them. The members of this family did not wear
'ready made' clothes; they struck out into an unknown country;
they felled the trees; they reclaimed the soil; they raised the
sheep and sheared them; and their good wives and daughters
carded, wove and spun the cloth that made the garments for a
race of men, who were giants as strong and sturdy as those that
stood in the forests around and about them. They earned their
living 'unawed by force and unbribed by gain.' They have in all
the stormy times that have past and gone been loyal and
representative men. If diamonds have ever shone in their fronts,
they were obtained by the honest labor of their own right hands.
No investigating committee has ever called one of them to a
sudden halt in a mad career of bribery, vice or crime, so far as
I have ever known or heard.
Yours, Mr. Carpenter, has been a long and thankless task. You
have doubtless derived some pleasure and incurred more expense
than most men would, but the satisfaction must always be great,
as you watch the work grow and take form under the magic wand of
your inspiration. However the end may be, as to your getting
all the data you want, to make it full, perfect and complete,
you will have the consolation of knowing that it will tell the
unborn thousands, of just the kind of timber such men were made.
And your work will be an incentive toward calling from the
descendants of the present generation of Carpenters, a unity of
praise as will cause them to rise up and call their forefathers
blessed.
I regret sincerely that I cannot give you more of the
information that you desire but as stated in the opening of this
letter I may be able to gather from my mother such fragments as
will enable me to recall things that have long since passed from
my memory. You must remember that I was born in 1836 and truer
words were never spoken than that I am not as young as I used to
be. Forty years ago your request would have been answered with
alacrity for then the pride of family and the chances to
investigate were much greater than now, for in these days I am
looking down instead of toward the slope.
I shall go to Montague some time next month and shall take
pleasure in making such inquiries as might lead to something
that will he of service to you. I sent a slip of the Times
article to the Gazette and Courier of Greenfield,,MA. and if
it is published in that section of the country I have no doubt
but that it will be productive of good results. With a
disposition to assist you in every possible way, I am
yours very truly,
E.R. SAXTEN.
Memorandum - Until I hear from my mother I cannot send you the
name of my great grandfather and great great grandfather. My
grandmother was born in Leyden. Franklin ,,MA., and I
think the year was 1767.
She had the following named brothers:
David settled in Leyden.
Nathaniel and Joseph settled in Maryland, N.Y.
Abel settled in Troy, N.Y.
And I think there were three more, will write after I return
