To: John R. Carpenter Subject: Re: Daniel Carpenter
Hello John. Yes it took me a bit to figure out the Carpenter memorial was a combination of good clues and bad. All and all it has been a good help. I am working to verify the info on the first and second generations below. I would be glad to give you access to my tree on Ancestry.com. I have collected a good deal of descent info from Edward Hazard Carpenter on to present day. Here is a synopsis of how I think this goes. Eddie Carpenter ************************************* First Generation Daniel Carpenter, CM #814, page 141, (b. 1744 m. 1762 d. 1823) Buried at Reynold's cemetery in Norway, NY. + Susannah Congdon (b. abt 1747 d. Mar 1818) Buried at Reynold's cemetery in Norway, NY. These folks appear to have moved to Norway, Herkimer, New York in about 1802. This portion of New York (Herkimer county) was referred to as the "Royal Grant". The town of Ohio was split from Norway in the early 1800's. Initially it was called "New Brunswick" or "West Brunswick". This is likely the cause of the remark in the Carpenter Memorial. I found a reference to the arrival of Daniel Carpenter and his sons Samuel and Azel (Asahel) in a history of Herkimer county. Have not figured out where how or if Ruth Cornell fits in. 1. Abigail: per CM Married John Champlin and died in CT in 1800. 2. Samuel: Many records of his presence at Norway, NY. Buried at Reynold's cemetery in Norway. Married a Catherine, also buried at Norway. 3. Edward: very probable in Norway, still not solid on this. See US census 1810, 1820, 1830, 1850 4. Nabby: Likely a repeat of Abigail above as Nabby is a familiar for Abigail. 5. Nathaniel: Possibly an error and son of another Daniel Carpenter from North Kingston. Still investigating this. 6. Richard: per CM married Cynthia Walker went to Thompson, CT. Found in US census 1850, 1860 7. Susan: familiar for Susannah. married William Champlin in home of Daniel Carpenter in May 1779 at Richmond, RI (see Revolution pension file for William Champlin). Buried in Eaton Rapids, MI (where her grandson had relocated.) 8. Peggy: familiar for Margaret. married Park Enos in 29 Mar 1790 in Richmond, CT. Relocated to Norway and Fairfield, Herkimer, NY in 1800. Died there in abt 1855. 9. Polly: Nothing yet. 10. George: Nothing yet. Old letter from another cousin hints he may be the son of a Benjamin Carpenter instead. 11. Asahel: often Azel. Many records of his presence at Norway. Married a Deborah (buried at Reynold's cemetery in Norway.) Later married a Margaret Mumford. This resulted in some court proceedings between his son Jackson and second wife over land in NY state. Relocated from Norway to Milford, Otswego, NY and not buried at Reynold's. 12. Arnold: possibly a twin with Asahel. Birth years run the same in census data. 1820, 1830 1840 in Norway. 1850 in Boonville, NY. 13. Daniel: the 1778 birthdate is an error. Based upon marriage to Mary Champlin on 19 Jun 1782 a date of about 1763 is more likely. Also likely the eldest son of Daniel. Marriage record refers to him as Daniel Carpenter 3rd. This is consistent with other records referring to his father as "Junior". There is a record referred to in a letter from a cousin that Daniel (#814 above) sold land in 1802 which he had earlier purchased from this son Daniel prior to departure to Norway, NY. This is the line I believe I descend from. 14. Benjamin: Nothing yet. In the same letter as in George above this cousin hints he may also be the son of a Benjamin Carpenter instead. 15. William: Nothing yet. ************************************* Second Generation Below regards Daniel Carpenter (#13 in list above) Daniel Carpenter, #1966, page 443, (b. abt 1763 m. 1782 d. abt 1835) + Mary Champlin (b. abt 1747 d. Mar 1818) This is the sister of William Champlin who married Susan Carpenter (#7 in the list above) These folks appear to have stayed in Richmond, RI. As mentioned above there are records for a land sale between Daniel III and his father Daniel II prior to Daniel II departure for Herkimer. A number of children may have relocated to Norway with or following their grandparents, Daniel and Susannah. 1. Benjamin: You already have the info on him in the material you sent. 2. George: Nothing yet. 3. William: Married Hannah Carpenter per CM. Found to remain in Richmond, RI through 1870 Census. 4. Polly: Nothing yet. 5. Susan: familiar for Susannah. Married to Elijah Chaplin per CM. Correct is Champlin. 1850, 1860, 1870 census records in South Kingston, RI 6. Peggy: familiar for Margaret. Married Daniel C. Henderson. found in 1850, 1860 census records at Norway, Herkimer, NY. Henderson was prominent in Herkimer county per historical sketches. 7. Renewed: Married Silas Niles Littlefield. Died without children? 8. Abby: familiar for Abigail. Also married Silas Niles Littlefield. Census finds her at New Shoreham, RI in 1850, 1860 and 1870. Buried on Block Island, RI. 9. Daniel: Married Lucy Babcock. Eldest son Daniel was born in RI in 1825. Daughter Lucy Ann born in Herkimer, NY in 1839. Son Edward Hazard Carpenter will marry Almira Stevens mentioned below. This is the line I descend from. Found in Waukesha, WI in 1850 and 1860. Relocates to IN and later dies in Union Mills, Indiana in Feb 1876. 10. Edward: Found in Herkimer in 1830, 1840, 1850. Has a niece (Almira Stevens) living with him in 1850 that provides ties to later records in WI. Found in Waukesha, WI in 1860 and Palmyra, WI in 1870. 11. Halsey: Halsey Champlin Carpenter. You already have a good deal of info on him. He is found in the 1840 and 1850 census in Salisbury, Herkimer, NY. Later in Rockbridge, WI in 1860, 1870 and 1880. A historical sketch remarks he initially settled in Eastern WI prior to Rockbridge. This is likely Waukesha as well. 12. Catherine: Married Stephen Raynor. Can be found in 1830 and 1850 census in Salisbury, NY 1860 and Fairfield, NY 1870, and the 1880 and 1900 census in Waukesha, WI. 13. Martha: Married Emery Wilcox. Can be found in 1850, 1860 and 1870 census in Newport, Herkimer, NY. 14. Harriet: is unmarried in Fairfield, NY 1850 and Newport, NY in 1860. is working as a domestic servant. ************************************* Third Generation This info is based upon a handwritten letter from Daniel Carpenter to my great-great Grandmother Almira Stevens regarding his children, birthdates and locations. Daniel Carpenter, #4154, page 443, (b. abt 1801 d. 1876) + Lucy Babcock (First) 1. Daniel: 1825 – 1912. Born in RI Died in Indiana 2. George: 1827 – Nothing yet 3. Edward Hazard: 1828 – 1909 Born in NY. Died at LaGrande, OR. This is my great great grandfather. I have a tree on Ancestry.com regarding his descendants. 4. Ray: 1829 – Nothing yet. Family history says ran away young. 5. Abigail: 1831 – 1900 Born in NY. Died in Iowa. 6. Sylvester: 1832 – Born in NY. Died in Nebraska? Still working this 7. David S: 1833 – 1917 Born in NY. Died in Indiana. 8. Ezra: 1835 – 1915 Born in NY. Died in Oklahoma. 9. Emery W: 1836 – 1918 Born in NY Died in Indiana. 10. Lucy Ann: 1839 – 1916 Born in NY Died in Wisconsin. 11. Rosetti: 1840 – 1840 Born in NY Died in NY. + Eunice Melissa Anderson Orvis (Second) 12. Sophia Almira: 1843 – 1910 Born in Ohio. Died in Wisconsin 13. Buel Dewitt: 1847 – 1924 Born in Indiana, Died in Wisconsin 14. Eunice M: 1851 Born in Wisconsin. Died in Wisconsin.

MILITARY HISTORY:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1st_Rhode_Island_Regiment
In 1777, the Continental Army was reorganized once again, and on 1 January 1777 the 9th Continental Regiment was re-designated as the 1st Rhode Island Regiment. Varnum no longer commanded the regiment, having been made a brigadier general; his eventual successor was Colonel Christopher Greene, a distant cousin of General Nathanael Greene. Under Colonel Greene the regiment successfully defended Fort Mercer at the Battle of Red Bank on 22 October 1777 against an assault by 2,000 Hessians.  ...
On 1 January 1781, the regiment was consolidated with the 2nd Rhode Island Regiment and re-designated as the Rhode Island Regiment. It took part in the siege of Yorktown.
On 15 June 1783, the veteran "during the war" enlisted men of the Rhode Island Regiment were discharged at Saratoga, New York. The remaining soldiers of the Regiment who were enlisted for "three years" were organized into a small Battalion of two companies known as the "Rhode Island Battalion". This unit was disbanded on 25 December 1783 at Saratoga, New York.

COMMENT:
So, if James was in both 1st Reg & 2nd Reg consolidated then he served  before 1 Jan 1781 and after that date to be listed in both rosters. But how much before 1871 did he serve?  Sometime between 1 Jan 1777 and 1 Jan 1781 would be the enlistment date.  Was he the James at Valley Forge on roster May & June 1778?
NOTE: If james married in 1778, did he enlist then or return?  His first son is born in 1779. This fits an April marriage and Jan 1779 baby.  His second child was born 29 Jul 1781 this means he was with his wife Oct-Nov 1780. His third child was born 7 Jun 1785 meaning he was with wife say Aug-Oct 1784 well after the RI units discharge dates. Yes, there is room for a 1783 child, but none listed.

Subject: Carpenter genealogy
Hi - I appreciate your reply! Since I posted that message, I discovered the lineage of Daniel, which (if I have it correct) is: Daniel Carpenter/Mary Grady>Stephen Carpenter/Susannah Champlin>Daniel Carpenter/Renewed Smith>Solomon Carpenter/Elizabeth Tefft>Abiah Carpenter/Mary Redway (Readway, Readaway)>William Carpenter/Abigail Briant>William Carpenter/Alice Unknown. Could you verify that I have this correct? I didn't know the info from the Carpenter Memorial, so will add this to my files.  My stumbling block is now the Grady lineage. I can find no info on Mary Grady's father, and very little on her mother, Harty. On one census report, there is a Harty "Rhodes" living with Daniel and Mary, of the correct age for Mary's mother, Harty, but I don't know if Harty married again somebody named Rhodes, or if this is her maiden name? At one point she was also married to Stephen Carpenter, Daniel Carpenter's father (!!) so this is kind of convoluted to say the least. I don't suppose you would know anything about this branch of the family?  Again, thanks so much for your reply. If there is anything that I might be able to help you with, please feel free to ask. I am a real amateur at this, but I have discovered quite a bit of information over the last couple of years.  DC

Married Bettsey Sanford at Rehoboth. Only 1 child listed – This being Margaret who married a Reuben Smith.

MILITARY: Richard Carpenter, residence not given, Second Lieutenant in the Continental
Army, with a pay account in Col. Bigelow's 15th Massachusetts Regiment served
from Jan. 1, 1777 to Oct. 26, 1777 on command at Albany. (Revolutionary War Vet)

HOWEVER, handwritten notes in my copy of the CM indicates he moved to
Richmond, VA.  The question is which is right?  Richmond, Berkshire county, MA
(near the western edge of MA next to the NY state line) OR  Richmond, Henrico
County, VA?  If he served in the Revolution as an Officer, he would be entitled
to a land bounty later.  Maybe in KY?  NO.  His name was not found on the KY
Bounty records.  NOTE:  The mark is probably in error?  YES.
NOTE:
The daughter mentioned was found in Richmond, Hampshire, MA and is buried next to a Richatrd Carpenter who died in 1813 and her husband Reuben Smith.  
CONCLUSION: This is not the Richard Carpenter of Fleming County, KY.

From: Terry Carpenter To: Kenneth G. Carpenter Sent: Friday, January 17, 2014 8:37 PM Subject: Re: [CARPENTER] - OFF LIST
Thanks Ken,
Both of the cited original sources show a 14 Jun 1746 birth date for that Richard -- see attachments. The census data for Richard Carpenter of Fleming Co. KY, although not absolutely precise, indicates that he was born in the 1750s, which is also in keeping with a man whose oldest son was born ca. 1772. Since the Richard who was born 14 Jun 1746 appears to be the one enumerated in Richmond, Berkshire Co. MA in 1790, it has been my belief that he and the Richard in KY are not one and the same. I think the one in NJ is the one who was later in KY. But I'm open to all new information that proves otherwise --

Captain Benjamin Carpenter (1751-1823) of Salem appears in Amos Carpenter on
pp. 143-4. The account of Captain Carpenter is not quite accurate. I wish to
add some colorful detail here from THE JOURNAL OF SAMUEL CURWEN, LOYALIST,
Harvard University Press, 1972. Benjamin was actually somewhat of an
outrageous character, and more of a historically important individual than
thought previously. Amos Carpenter tells us that Benjamin "returned
immediately to Salem" at the beginning of the American Revolution. While
this may be true, Benjamin Carpenter was a merchant resident in England with
his family and frequents the pages of Samuel Curwen's diary from December
1779. This is not to suggest that Benjamin was a loyalist. Quite the
contrary, as the following quotation will show, Captain Carpenter was a
fervent American patriot, and right in London during the war.
"May 1, 1780. Morn mild, cloudy, air damp, wind W. Early walk to Post
Office, Meridian walk to Redcliff back, often heard, never before explored,
passing the building wherein 120 Spanish prisoners are confined. At Meridian
the cloud that have been gathering were distilled in small rain. May day
celebrated as usual. At 5 o'clock went to Mrs. Richards according to
appointment to drink tea,my countryman a Capt. Carpenter who presently
entered and beginning a rude conversation about American war, behaved to an
extream, indecent and profane, abusing all persons in whom he saw proper to
bestow the character of Tories, enemies to their Country, as vile worthless
rascals all, including everyone who had left America and were now residing
in America or else were out of their own Country, using the most horrid and
profane expressions, and with shocking freedom the word of God, asserting
with oaths the most palpable falsehoods and absurdities. Perhaps the measure
of his folly, impudence and impiety exceeded the common, being more than
half drunk, having been that day at a dinner at the Bush or one of the great
taverns, who {with?} some Seamen of his own rank and party who had blown up
his zeal beyond its usual heighth. However though I made allowance for his
condition I did not fail to give him many severe checks and rebukes, from
whence I conclude he will, on his arrival home be sure to brand with the
odious character of Tory, friend to Government and bitter enemy of Country,
which however I pray God to preserve from all horrors of intestine
commotions. My zeal, however, ran the hottest against his profanity,
nonsense and madness all of which markt his behaviour with the strongest
traits in so much that Mrs. Richards threatened to turn him out of the house
though on his political side of the question."
Captain Carpenter's true contribution to American history was his delivery
of the news from Canton, China to Boston, Massachusetts that the first ship
bearing the American flag had gone around the world in 1790. The ship
Columbia, with Captain Grey in command, had explored the Pacific Northwest
and then began a trading trip to China where it met Captain Benjamin
Carpenter. Amos Carpenter mentions Captain Carpenter's journey to China.
Later Lewis and Clark would steal the attention from this first American
discovery of the Pacific coast. See VOYAGES OF THE COLUMBIA, Oregon
Historical Society Press, and pp. 128-31.

Let me elaborate on this topic a little, prompted by Bruce Carpenter's post

We must realize once and for all that the American Revolution in reality was
a thoroughly *English* revolution, in the tradition of many other English
revolutions. Thus, the seemingly wishy-washy loyalties of some colonists
reflect their English views. When the Crown was against the colonists, the
colonists were against the crown. And vice versa!
It started out as an armed reform movement. They intended to stay loyal
English colonies. A handful of extreme radicals made the result of this
"English Revolution" end up in the then-unknown concept of independence for
English colonies.

He died a strong minded and stature above six feet tall and of 200 pounds in

He was a self taught man he never had any formal education.. He was a LT Col
in the Rev. War.
A party of New Yorkers once attempted to arrest Lt. Gov. Carpenter, and one
Major Shepardson, But it failed, probably seeing his stature they probably
didn't think they would be able to handle him. A second attempt was made to
arrest him by the NY Militia, but it was a repeated failure. A company of
Torries and New Yorkers were formed for this purpose.

The Hon. Benjamin CARPENTER,
was a member of the first convention in Vermont, held at Dorset in 1770.
In those trying times with the brave sons of the Green Mountains, when
they had not only to oppose the powerful state of New York, the claims
of New Hampshire and Massachusetts, the tories and Yorkers at home, and
the menacing threats of Congress abroad: but the power of his Majesty's
legions in war, that brave patriot with an allowance of three days'
provisions upon his back, would cross the Green Mountains on foot by
marked trees, to attend the legislature at Bennington, for the purpose
of devising ways and means of defense against all the enemies of the
state.
As delegate to the Assembly, as a member of the Council of Safety, as
Lieut. Governor of the State, he deservedly holds a conspicuous place in the
early history of the state.
Upon a large white marble tombstone in the west part of Guilford, is the
following inscription: ...
                         [Three others listed first.]
                     Sacred to the memory of the
                    Hon. Benjamine CARPENTER, Esq.
                  Born in Rehoboth, Mass. A.D. 1726
                A magistrate in Rhode Island in 1764.
                  A public teacher of righteousness
           An able--eble advocate to his last for Democracy
                    And the equal rights of a man.
                   Removed to this town A.D. 1770,

                 A councilor of censors in A.D. 1794.

A firm professor of Christianity in the Baptist church 50 years.  Left
           this world and 146 persons of lineal posterity.
                            March 29, 1804
                 Aged 78 years, 10 months and 12 days
                            with a strong

                      Glorious state hereafter.
                  Stature about six feet--weight 200
                         Death had no terror.
While Rehoboth vital records fail to list a Benjamin Carpenter born in the
mid 1820s, someone of that name was born at adjacent Swansea on 17 May 1725,
which fits perfectly with the Guilford man's age at death.  The son of  Edward5
(Benjamin4, Joseph3, William2-1) and Elizabeth (Wilson) Carpenter, he
married at Providence, R.I., 13 October 1745, Amey/Anne Carpenter (both of
Rehoboth); the births of their first four children are recorded at  Warren, R.I.

The Whigs, united with those opposed to the claims of the State of New York, that and the succeeding year, out-voted the Tories and the Yorkers. In 1776 the town voted to pay the expenses of Benjamin CARPENTER, their delegate to the Westminster convention, in 1775.
In his early life he seems to have been of a roving disposition, for his ten children were born in five different towns of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. He removed to Guilford with John BARNEY and others, from Rehoboth, in 1770, six years after the town was granted to the original proprietors, where he became an ardent patriot and one of the foremost advocates of separate State sovereignty for Vermont. Aside from the offices mentioned in his epitaph, he was also one of the council of thirteen appointed to revise the State constitution, in 1785. He was descended from the patriarch, William CARPENTER, who came from the South of England in the little ship Bevis in 1638, with his wife and four sons. It is interesting to observe that Richard DUMMER, an ancestor, probably, of the DUMMER for whom Dummerston and Fort Dummer were named, was a passenger by the same ship. Settling first in Weymouth, Mass., the CARPENTER family removed to Rehoboth with the first settlers of that town, in 1643. Joseph CARPENTER, one of the four sons born in England, and great-grandfather of Benjamin C., became a constituent member of the Baptist church in Swanzey, the oldest church of that order in Massachusetts, in 1669. The late Senator Matt. CARPENTER, of Wisconsin, and the late Hon. Abbott LAWRENCE, of Boston, were among his numerous posterity. Cyrus, the youngest of Benjamin CARPENTER's ten children, was born in Killingly, Conn., in 1769, and was brought as an infant by his parents to Guilford, where he spent the remainder of his life. He was a hardworking farmer and a much respected member of the Baptist church. He reared thirteen children, all of whom lived to have families of their own. His first wife, Betsey BARNEY, was the mother of four sons and six daughters, all of whom made their homes in other States. The fourth son, Mark, however, spent the later years of his life in his native county, serving the Baptist churches in Brattleboro, West Dummerston and South Windham successively, as pastor. He died at his residence in Townshend in 1882, at the age of eighty, leaving five sons scattered in various parts of the world. Cyrus's second wife, Betsey PUTNAM, was the mother of two sons and one daughter. The eldest of these three children, Edwin B., resided in the old homestead in Guilford for some years after his father's death. He was early engaged in the manufacture of reed organs in Brattleboro, and is still engaged in the same business in Mendota, Ill., while his eldest son Edwin P., has recently established a factory of the same kind in Brattleboro, right under the shadow of the successful and powerful firm of ESTEY & Co. He will doubtless do everything that pluck, energy, and fair dealing can do to build up his native town and at the same time achieve an honorable success.
Cyrus CARPENTER came to this town from Rhode Island when but seven years old and worked around among the farmers. After a few years he started a wheelwright shop at Guilford village, and carried on that business for many years. He was deputy sheriff several years and high sheriff one term; also constable and collector for eighteen years. He married a daughter of Artemas GALE of this town, and had two sons and two daughters, but one of whom, Augusta, wife of J. T. NOYES, is living in the town. He died in September, 1863, aged sixty-three years.
