1872.
The following sketch of his life is taken from the History of
the Town of Pittsford, VT, printed in 1872: -
While in Rehoboth, and after serving in the army, Abraham
"commenced studying for the Ministry. After his marriage he
went to reside in Killingly,,CT From here they moved to
Plainfield, NH in 1774. He was there ordained and installed
over the Congregational Church, and was the first minister in
that town. From Plainfield he removed to Whipple Hollow, VT
About the year 1790 the people of Orange Parish employed Rev.
Abraham Carpenter of Plainfield, NH as their minister. The
services on the occasion of his installation were held at the
house of Asa Stevens, it being before the meeting house was
finished. Mr. Carpenter was a very devoted Christian, and a
faithful pastor; under his ministry the church prospered. Few
pastors have secured a stronger hold upon the affections of his
people. He died after a short illness, and his remains were
interred in the parish burying ground."
In the history of Windham ,,CT, page 95, is the
following: "In 1768, Abraham Carpenter was ordained into the
office of Deacon by the laying on of hands, and dismissed after
five years service to become the pastor of the church of
Plainfield, N. H."
A brief account of his labors in Plainfield, N. H. is found on
page 47, of The New Hampshire Churches, by Rev. Robert F.
Lawrence, published in 1856, as follows: "In 1773 or 1774, Rev.
Abraham Carpenter, a 'strict Congregationalist,' was settled
according to the rules of the denomination in Plainfield,
without any action of the town. In March, 1779, the town voted
to accept Mr. Carpenter as the minister of the town. He received
the right of land, consisting of 360 acres. He continued to
preach in town eight or ten years longer, In his own kitchen and
in other private houses in the winter, and in the open air or in
a Meeting-house having neither doors or windows, in the summer.
In 1782 there was more than usual attention to religion, and
several neighboring ministers came and assisted him. After a few
years he was dismissed by his own congregation, and became
pastor of a church in Rutland, VT where he died and where his
grave is. He was considered a decided Christian, loving God and
rejoicing to be the servant of his people in preaching the
Gospel and teaching the youth. In a quiet and sober manner he
finished his ministry and went, we believe, to receive the
reward of one who had been 'faithful in a few things.'"
Extract of a letter written to E. H. Carpenter, Manchester, N.
H., by Rev. C. C. Mclntire, D. D., dated Nov.14, 1889: "After a
little search I found the grave or at least the Stone, of Rev.
Abraham Carpenter. The ground was in a beautiful, picturesque
spot, but is not very well cared for. The stone is a large-sized
slab standing upright and firm and is in a very good state of
preservation. On the stone is engraved an oval band, and running
around it are these words
This,,sleeping dust again shall rise
When Gabriel's trump shall shake the skies."
Within the oval is the inscription :-"To the pious memory of the
Rev. Abraham Carpenter, who we trust fell asleep in Jesus Aug.
21st, 1797, in the 58th year of his age." Below the oval and
near the base
"With mildest accents from his tongue
He often taught the listening throng
In silent notes still hear him say
Prepare for death and come away."

During the next ten years, the agitation occasioned by the
war having subsided, the population of the town went on grad
ually increasing, while new openings were continually made in
the forest, a greater breadth of soil was brought under the
influence of husbandry, and the machinery of civil government
was moving gracefully along. This prosperous state of things,
combined with the natural fertility of soil, made the township
a desirable one for enterprising young men, who wished to
make pleasant homes for themselves in some promising region.
Among the number who located here in 1790, we find
Abraham Drury, John Woodward, Samuel Copley, Phineas
Hammond, Abraham Carpenter, Adget Lathrop and Nathan
B. Graham.

Abraham Carpenter was born in Rehoboth, Mass., Sep
tember 23, 1739, and in the French war he enlisted in the
army and was sent through the wilderness to Crown Point
Fort, where he remained through one summer, acting, the most
of that time, as one of the guard at that fortress. How long
he remained in the army we are not informed, but when his
term of service had expired, he returned to Rehoboth and
commenced studying for the ministry. He married Elizabeth
Bliss, also of Rehoboth, who was born April 5, 1738, and after
their marriage they went to reside in Killingly, Conn., from
which town they removed to Plainfield, N. H., in 1774. He
was there ordained and settled over a Congregational Church,
the first in the township. From Plainfield he removed to
"Whipple Hollow, and of his labors there we shall have some
thing to say hereafter.

DEACONS.
There were no regularly appointed deacons of the Baptist
Church till September 30, 1786, when Caleb Hendee,* Abel
Stevensf and Colburn Preston were elected to this office. The
other deacons have been :
Samuel Hendee and Ezra Spencer, elected October 16, 1841.
Roswell Woodcock and James R. Smith,}: elected February
11, 1843.
Samuel Hendee and Roswell Woodcock are the present
acting deacons.
In the year 1788, an effort was made by some individuals
living in that part of Pittsford known as Whipple Hollow,
together with persons living in that vicinity, in the north part
of Rutland, to form a religious society, and they petitioned the
Legislature for an act of incorporation. The prayer of the
petitioners was not granted, but they formed an association and
took the name of " Orange Parish." They held religious meet
ings, and occasionally had preaching by ministers living in the
vicinity. About the year 1790, they employed Rev. Abraham
Carpenter, from Plainfield, N. H., as their preacher. We have

644 HISTORY OF PITT8FORD.
already given some account of the early life of Mr. Carpenter.
Soon after he came to Pittsford a church was organized, and he
was installed as its pastor. The services on this occasion were
held at the house of Asa Stevens,* and Rev. Lemuel Haynes,
of Rutland, and Rev. Ithamar Hibbard, of Poultney, assisted
in the exercises.
Mr. Carpenter was a very devoted Christian, and a faithful
pastor, and under his ministry the church prospered. Few
pastors have secured a stronger hold upon the affections of his
people. He died, after a short illness, August 21, 1797, and
his remains were interred in the parish burying ground. His
wife, Elizabeth, died March 30, 1830, aged 92 years.f
After the death of Mr. Carpenter, the parish secured the
services of Rev, Mr. Norton, who was a man of some talent,
but wanting in characteristics so essential to success. Under
his ministry the religious interest in the society gradually
abated, dissensions sprung up among the members, the minister
soon left, and the meetings were discontinued.

Nathan Carpenter
Number 846 in the Carpenter Memorial on page 145.
Family on page 269 and 270 (# 303). Per page 838, this Nathan did not marry
Hannah Thomas of Warren, RI, another Nathan married her. Spouse name not
known. (SEE: RIN 24550 for reference)
Nathan and his brother Allen enlisted in Woodstock in the Revolutionary War
and after the close of the war, Allen moved to Vermont or New York.
Nathan appears to have returned to CT after his marriage til 1785, then to
Vermont for a brief time then to New York on the Unadilla River until Feb. 12,
1801 when he left for Ohio.
Notes describe his wrestling an Indian taking away his knife and Tomahawk then giving them back. Also the notes describe him outwitting a panther who wanted him for dinner for her family. The notes also describe his demise after being thrown off a horse falling down an embankment.
There is extensive notes from page 145 to 149 inclusive in the CM
on Nathan Carpenter.
There is an interesting discrepancy on page 146 at the bottom third of the page:
Captian Nathan Carpenter, a zealous patriot fought bravely at the Battle of
Bunker Hill at which place his brother was killed and he himself was wounded.
He fought at many battles, et cetera and finally returning home with his
brother Allen at his side. The only brother not documented in the military or
where he died is Louis, his step-brother born in 1727.
Nathan served in the Revolution in the 3rd Battalion of Connecticut Volunteers
with his brother Allen, in Capt. Parker's Company, Col. Sage's Regiment.
Enlisted with his brother on March 7, 1777 and discharged March 17, 1780.
After the close of the war it appears that Nathan, after his
marriage, returned to ,,CT and later immigrated to
Vermont; it appears he had children born in ,,CT
Captain Carpenter died in 1814. On the evening of the 9th of
September, a little more than thirteen years after his
settlement in the Twp. of Liberty, he was returning from the
Town of Delaware, on horseback, the animal on which he was
mounted being a very vicious one, and having left town late,
night overtook him before he reached home. He could not see the
road and his horse had no disposition to follow it. An
overhanging limb swept the rider from his seat, and, being so
near the brink, he fell down the precipice upon the rocks below.
He raised upon his hands and uttered a solitary cry for help.
The familiar voice attracted the attention of a neighbor near
by, who hastened to his assistance. He immediately asked for
water, which the man, with his hat for a cup, procured for him
from the river. Dr. Lamb was soon at the scene of the accident,
but his injuries were fatal, and he soon expired, thus ending,
at the age of fifty-six, his eventful life. His death cast a
cloud over the entire community. They were all conscious that
they had lost a friend. His family were devotedly attached to
him; his physician and many friends wept at his grave, as they
laid him by the side of his wife who had died ten years before.
Dec.30, 1800. At this time the County of Tioga is evidently
undivided and Nathan Carpenter is said to be of Oxford, in the
County of Chenango. On the above date a deed is made by "James
Glover of Norwich in the County of Chenango and State of New
York, and Alphana his wife to Nathan Carpenter of Oxford, in the
County and State aforesaid, yeoman, which for the sum of $1500
disposes of 520 acres of land situated, lying, and being in the
military tract in the territory northwest of the ,OH, in the 3d
and 4th Sections in the 4th Twp. and 19th range subject to
the conditions, restrictions and provisions contained in the Act
of Congress passed on the first day of June, 1796, entitled an
Act regulating the grants of land appropriated for military
services and for the Society of the United Brethren for
propagating the Gospel among the heathen, and of the several
Acts supplementary thereto, passed on the 2nd day of March,
1799, and on the 7th day of February, and 1st day of March,
1800." Witnessed by Benjamin Hovey, S. 0. Rungon, Avery Power.
Acknowledged before Benjamin Hovey, one of the judges of
Chenango , on January 1,1801. This land was then in the
County of Ross, in the Territory of the United States, N. W. of
the ,OH River; that county at that time covered immense
territory; this land is now five miles south of the town of
Delaware.
Liberty Twp. lies south of Delaware and is one of three
original townships into which the county was divided for
temporary purposes, at the time of its formation.
This Twp. is noted as being the site of the first settlement
made in the county by white people. A complete and intelligent
history of this early settlement involves a sketch of the family
who made it

The following facts pertaining to this noted Carpenter family
and their settlement in this Twp. are from an article in the
Delaware Gazette, written by A. E. Goodrich, a descendant.
After the death of Abiel, his son Abraham Carpenter was
established in the family seat at the village of Rehoboth, in
the ,MA Bay Colony, which at that time was a small
republic and quite independent as it had not yet been enslaved
by the encroachments of the British Ministry. Here he
continually added to his estate by the purchase of small and
sometimes large tracts of land until he became an extensive land
owner. No doubt it will be somewhat surprising to our readers to
learn that prices for land then were about as high as at the
present day, as is shown by some of his conveyances now in
possession of the writer, some of which date back to the year
1728. For one-half acre he paid œ10 ($50); and for two acres he
paid œ40($200); but as they were small tracts they were probably
located near the village. [The above account refers to Abraham,
the father of Abiel and not Abraham his son.] In 1756, Abraham
(the father of Abiel) made his last will which is as much a
dissertation on the Christian graces as it is a conveyance of
his property, bequeathing his property to his son Abiel and to
his grand-children as will be found in a note under Abraham (the
father.) Abiel lived in the village which was the choice of his
ancestors, where he reared a large family and his third son,
Nathan, became the pioneer and the original settler of Delaware
County.
Capt. Nathan Carpenter was born in Rehoboth in 1757, and grew to
manhood amid the excitements preparatory to the Revolution,
zealous patriot. He was among the first to respond to the call
of his country when the great colonial struggle came on, though
scarcely more than a boy in age. He fought bravely at the battle
of Bunker Hill, at which place his brother was killed and
himself wounded. Afterwards he participated in several
sanguinary battles, among them the pursuit and capture of
General Burgoyne, at Saratoga. After the surrender of General
Burgoyne, Captain Carpenter had an interview with him in which
he took occasion to remark that he had very reluctantly accepted
the command imposed upon him by the British Ministry-that of
compelling him to war against the American Colonies. He soon
after confirmed his position by returning to England and joining
Pitt's party opposed to the war. Carpenter described General
Washington as being a tall, large man, of very imposing
appearance and, like Buonaparte, devoid of warm or passionate
affection, although so ardently and truly devoted to his
country. Persons owed more gratitude to him collectively than
they did individually. After the battle of Monmouth, Carpenter
visited his home and during his stay was married to Miss Irene
Reid. But he did not long remain at home, and Soon after
marriage returned to his post of duty. He took an active part in
the campaigns and participated in many of the battles until a
peace was conquered at Yorktown. The war was over and the troops
were returning home. The battalion to which he belonged was
expected home on the evening of a certain day. The young wife
knew not whether her husband was living or dead. [Mail
communications were not so complete nor soldiers' letters so
common as during the last war.] Full of hope, however, she
prepared supper for both of them and then sat down to await his
coming. Sadly she thought over the probabilities of his return
now that the war had ended. She was beginning to despair and her
heart to sink with hope deferred. A knock was beard at the door.
She started up but was unable to speak or move further. When the
door opened and, behold, both her husband and brother stood upon
the threshold safe and sound. [The brother was Allen Carpenter,
No. 848.] It was too much; she fell senseless, but her husband
caught her in his arms. He had returned to enjoy with her the
recompense of those hard fought battles, to share with her the
rest of his eventful life. After the close of the war Mr.
Carpenter lived in ,,CT until 1785, when he moved to the
State of NY and purchased a large estate upon the Unadilla
River. It was while residing here, that the excitement over the
,OH territory rose to a height exceeded only by that perhaps
over California in later years. Public meetings were held at
which were discussed the stories of its delightful climate and
inexhaustible wealth. Never having become attached to the
country which he had adopted as his home, he was inclined to
share in the enthusiasm. And then, a life in the West would be
congenial to his nature. One morning, after having ascended to
the roof of his house to shovel off the snow, a frequent
necessity in that climate, he broke the intelligence to his wife
that he intended to leave that land of hills and snow banks and
go to the wonderful ,OH. Having disposed of his estate and
other effects which he would not need and having procured
everything required in his future home he bade adieu to his
numerous friends who had gathered to say farewell and started
for the new Eldorado, on the 12th day of February, 1801 About
twenty young men (Powerses, Smiths, etc., etc..) who were going
out to see the country, some of them afterwards becoming
permanent settlers, accompanied him. He traveled on wagons and
sleds as far as Pittsburg,,PA, where he loaded his effects
and passengers into a boat and continued his journey by floating
down the ,OH river. The beginning of his journey down the ,OH
placed the little party beyond civilized limits and brought it a
foretaste of the privations and dangers of pioneer life. They
traveled by day only, the host being made fast to the shore by
night, but shortly after leaving Pittsburg some of the
passengers became anxious to travel at night also, and Captain
Carpenter finally acceded to their wishes. The boat started out
but did not proceed far before it struck a "sawyer",
obstructions which were then so common in the ,OH and
Mississippi rivers, and crushed in the bow. The hold was rapidly
filling with water, when the break was rudely stopped and the
water kept down, until the boat could be run ashore and all on
board rescued, though not a little alarmed. A day was spent in
repairing the damage, when they again proceeded on their
journey, with light hearts and buoyant spirits. Congeniality
lightened every adversity and swelled every enjoyment. The
variety of scenery contributed largely to the entertainment of
the little hand, as it floated down la belle riviere. This
voyage was long remembered and was highly interesting to the
other members of the party, at least. Although early in the
season, nature had already donned her spring clothes for the
winter was indeed over. The knolls and valleys were covered with
grass, and hundreds of deer which looked in great wonderment
upon the strange barge, were seen grazing upon the green slope.
Sometimes a solitary moose, with his huge antlers, or a bear
would change the monotony of the scene and contribute to the
variety of the bill of fare. Then turkeys were so plenty and
deer so tame that leo voyageurs never lacked for fresh meat.
Marietta was left behind; prominent hills faded away in the
distance; the last bend was passed and the boat arrived safely
at the mouth of the Scioto river. But here a change must be
made; in order to reach his destination the Scioto river must be
ascended. Accordingly the cargo and passengers were transferred
to keel-boats, in which they were moved up to Franklinton, a
place consisting of three or four log houses, and situated
across the river from where Columbus now stands. Here a large
canoe was procured and his goods transported up the Olentangy to
the place where Hiram R. Carpenter now resides, and where they
arrived on the 1st day of May, 1801, having been two months and
eighteen days on the voyage. The first business in order was the
erection of a cabin for a shelter, which was built on the bank
of the river just above high water mark. It was rudely chinked
with split sticks and covered with bark, but without floor or
chimney. Flat stones were set up against the logs to make a safe
place to build a fire The cabin was scarcely finished when it
commenced to rain and continued for eight days in succession.
After the flood had abated the land was surveyed and according
to the previous arrangement Captain Carpenter received choice of
land in the section. He now began prospecting for a site on
which to build a permanent home, which must be erected and
finished before winter. His assistants were equally engaged in
clearing, planting and hunting and the result was they harvested
500 bushels of corn, besides superabundantly supplying the party
with the choicest meats. Game was plenty; deer was to be seen
every day; turkeys were frequently shot from the cabin door and
the creeks were full of fish.
During the summer a substantial hewed-log house was erected on
the site of the present residence of Squire Carpenter. The
family was moved into it and provided with improved furniture
and other adjuncts of civilization. In the spring following
Captain Carpenter's settlement, was joined by two ether pioneer
adventurers. The Colony now consisted of the families of
Carpenter, Powers (who came with Carpenter.) Cellar and
McKinnie. Cellar was a gunsmith and had manufactured guns for
the war of Independence, while the others had used them to that
end. They were now associated together, not in war, but in
subduing the wilderness and building up homes in the new land of
promise.
The children of Captain Carpenter, ten in number, were now young
men and women and being of congenial disposition were sufficient
company for each other to render their forest home cheerful and
pleasant instead of suffering it to become lonely and irksome.
They often had exciting stories to relate concerning their
adventures with wild animals and the Indians. With the latter
they were usually on pretty good terms. As many of those pioneer
stories have been handed down to the present time, we will give
one or two for an illustration. There were those among the
Indians who sometimes became intolerable in their conduct,
especially in their demands for whiskey, and the whites in such
cases, did not hasten to enter into a skirmish with them,
knowing that they were in bad repute even with their own people.
An old Indian whose name was Sevans came to Carpenter's one day
and asked for "whisk." Ira, the eldest son, who chanced to be
present, knowing too well what the result would be, informed Mr.
Sevans that he could not be accommodated. The old Indian urged
his demand with so much importunity that it became necessary to
use other kinds of persuasion than argument. He first drew his
knife but Ira wrested that from him with little difficulty which
rendered the red man furious, and he began drawing his tomahawk
from his belt, when a kick from his pale-faced adversary sent
him sprawling out of the door. As soon as he recovered himself
he threw his tomahawk at young Carpenter with all the force he
could muster, but the door was brought together in time to
intercept the blow The weapon passed through the door however,
and was now in the possession of the white man, who chastised
Mr. Sevans quite severely. He then gave him back his knife and
tomahawk with the injunction never to be seen there again-an
injunction the old rascal faithfully obeyed.
There being a surplus of help at home. John Carpenter, the
second son, concluded that he would hire out his services and
obtained employment of Mr. Patterson who had a trading post at
Sandusky. He set out for that place on foot and alone, following
the Indian trails which were the only roads there were at that
time through the wilderness. He traveled in the daytime, guided
by those trails and a pocket compass, and at night slept by the
side of a log. His first night's rest was quiet and undisturbed
but late in the second night he was awakened by shrieks and
howls, the source of which was evidently approaching nearer
every moment. Being thoroughly awakened and conscious of his
impending danger he remained perfectly still by the side of his
log. The shrieks were soon changed to snuffing and then the
beast sprang upon the log directly over his head; walking down
the log smelling of its intended victim, it again alighted upon
the ground and after smelling of him from head to foot, began to
cover him up with leaves that were within reach. After having
accomplished this feat to its satisfaction it retired some
distance and began to shriek most hideously, and soon Carpenter
heard a response in the distance which convinced him that he was
the subject of a grand supper talk. Not wishing to become the
food of a panther and her cubs, he quietly crawled out of the
pile of leaves which had been heaped upon him and climbed up the
nearest tree. The answering sound which he had heard drew
nearer, and soon the young family made its appearance. They tore
open the bed of leaves, but their anticipated supper had
disappeared. Uttering hideous shrieks, the old one struck the
track and followed it to the tree and rearing up against the
trunk with her fore feet stared indignantly at the subject of
her disappointment. When the morning dawned, the huge panther
withdrew her interesting family and young Carpenter, happy in
his escape, went on his journey.
Captain Carpenter died in 1814. On the evening of the 9th of
September, a little more than thirteen years after his
settlement in the Twp., he was returning from the town of
Delaware, on horseback, the animal on which he was mounted being
a very vicious one, and having left town late, night overtook
him before he reached home. He could not see the road and his
horse had no disposition to follow it. Winding along the river
it passed between the bank and a tree that stood very near it.
An overhanging limb swept the rider from his seat, and, being so
near the brink, he fell down the precipice upon the rocks below.
He raised upon his hands and uttered a solitary cry for help.
The familiar voice attracted the attention of a neighbor near
by, who hastened to his assistance. He immediately asked for
water, which the man, with his hat for a cup, procured for him
from the river. Dr. Lamb was soon at the scene of the accident,
but his injuries were fatal, and he soon expired, thus ending,

cloud over the entire community. They were all conscious that
they had lost a friend. His family were devotedly attached to
him; his physician and many friends wept at his grave, as they
laid him by the side of his wife who had died ten years before."
Captain Carpenter's seven children who survived him, lived to
the average age of 81 years, aggregating 570 years. The eldest
daughter, Mrs. Swinton, went to IL in 1816, and died in
1873, at the age of 93 years. Alfred died in IL, and
Nathan, at his residence in Worthington. The other's are all
dead except Mrs. Case, now 83 years of age. Most of them died in
the country in which they grew up. Mrs. Case is living in
Licking County in good health for one of her years. Sarah, who
married John Hardin, Esq., and who died at the residence of her
son-in-law, A. S. Goodrich, Esq., in the winter of 1878 or 1879,
at the age of 88, was the last surviving child, except Mrs.
Case, of Captain Carpenter.2 SOUR S203

for: Cortland County, NY Probate Records for Noah Carpenter.
Noah Carpenter was a son of Abial Carpenter and Charity Allen of Rehoboth, Mass. He was born November 25, 1768 in Rehoboth; died April 18, 1828 in Homer, NY. His wife, Charlotte (Sharp) Carpenter was born June 17, 1765 in Pomfret, Conn.; died May 17, 1836 in Homer, NY. Noah came to Cortland County with his family in 1800. His youngest son, Asaph, was born during the journey on June 28, 1800.
Noah's will was filed in the town of Preble in Cortland County. The will was proved on April 26, 1828, Asaph Carpenter being named executor. It looks like the will was one of the ones recorded in Deed books, years after the fact. In this case, Deed Book 23, Page 335. Copies of the will and selected probate documents have been placed on-line. The links to these documents are at the bottom of this page, after a transcript of Noah's will.

Timothy Carpenter
NOTE: The Timothy Carpenter of Pittstown, NY was born abt 1715 not 24 Oct 1721.
The error was found and corrected using the following information.
1) Letter of Charles L. Carpenter in 1976 indicating that the Timothy Carpenter
born 24 Oct 1721 was not his Timothy Carpenter, and the addenda (update)
to the Timothy Carpenter book dated 3 May 1984 by the same person.
2) Carpenter Related Family History Journal, Vol. 3, No.1, page 11:
SOURCE: A corrected will of the New York Historical Society Collections
Volumes found by Louise Carpenter Licklider states in abstract:
"In the name of God, Amen. January 3, 1728/1729, I, Silas Carpenter of North
Castle, in Westchester County, Blacksmith. I leave to my wife, Jane, one-third
of all moveables. All houses and lands to be sold. I leave to my daughters,

Island, and my wife, Jane, Executors. Witnesses, Adam Ireland, Job Wright,
Nataniel Carpenter. Proved Feburary 11, 1728/1729."

Silas Carpenter
SILAS is listed as number 13-2 in the book; TIMOTHY CARPENTER DESCENDANTS.
SILAS disappeared during the REVOLUTIONARY WAR. His name does not appear on
any casuality lists on file at the National Archives in Washington, nor the
State Archives in Albany, N.Y. It also does not appear on any rosters of men
serving from the Pittstown area in the 14th Albany Regt., which do his
brothers JOSIAH and JEREMIAH and his brother-in-law NEHEMIAH WALLACE.
MISC: There is speculation in one branch of the family that he became a
loyalist and died in Canada or England. In another branch it indicates he went
north and died unmarried.
MISC: "As a child I heard stories of an uncle (last name Carpenter) in
England who owned a powder mill that blew up. Family here were trying to
prove their relationship as beneficiaries. Supposedly important papers were
destroyed in the explosion, so the inheritance went to England. I have been
unable to locate the legal papers that were prepared in the late 30's with the
genealogy." Ed & Dorothy Linville, June 12, 1999. (See Joseph of Jeremiah of

Abigail Carpenter, Oyster Bay married Feb 1st 1779 Wiliam Goeke/ Stamford
(i assume CT) these are from Somebody Easter Marriage records on the LI site.

Thomas Carpenter
Number 56 in the book "The Carpenter Family in America" by Daniel H.
Carpenter, 1901. Family on page 96.
Probably, after selling property willed to him by his father, he went
back to Canada or England. See note below, however.
He went to St. John's, N.B., at the peace and was one of the grantees of
that city.
On 30 Sept. 1797, he and his wife Lucretia sold land at Stamford, CT (her
parents old property!). No further trace can be found.
Did he go west to Indiana?
NOTE: There may be TWO Thomas Carpenters mixed here. One a British Sergeant (RA) and then promoted to an Ensign (sub-Lieutentant in a provisional brigrade). The other a son of Joseph Carpenter also named Thomas who was a Sergeant in the provisional brigrade. See E-Mails below. Good work by Annabel Bixby.
The above should read per Annabel:
1. Thomas Carpenter-20039 was born 15 Feb 1726 in Musketa Cove,
Queens, LI, NY. (He died in Smithtown, Or Southold, LI, NY. ?)
Number 56 in the book "The Carpenter Family in America" by Daniel H.
Carpenter, 1901. Family on page 96.
In other words, Lucretia Quintard does not belong in this genealogy and
neither does her husband, Thomas Carpenter. It should just end with the
marriage to Anne Stocker and their son, Thomas.
He was a loyalist who fled to Nova Scotia and returned to Long Island to die.
He was a sergeant and Adjutant, 2nd Delancey's Brigade, a loyalist unit in
New York. A Thomas Carpenter (son?) was an Ensign in the 3rd Battalion.
In 1783 Ensign Carpenter was buying provisions for uniforms and was reimbursed for expenses. On 4 Nov 1782 he was in Brooklyn, NY as a witness to a Richard Hill of New York claim of costs for quartering. Both indicate he is a member of the 2nd Delancy Brigade. (ENGLISH CARPENTER?)

Hi- I am really in need of some help! ( Note- The numbers after the names
are the numbers in the "Carpenter family in America.")
I have corresponded with one of you who has the Carpenter website- who
couldn't help me. I have a research project due by Oct. 15th
for independent study in a family history class. Here is the problem!
I have both the Carpenter and Quintard genealogy and it seems that
neither one has enough information on the Thomas Carpenter(55)- p. 96
who I am looking for -According to the Carpenter genealogy, he was born
in 1726, son of Joseph Carpenter(19)at Oyster Bay, Long Island- he
married 1. Ann Stocker in abt. 1748- she apparently died and then he
married Lucretia Burroughs Quintard on 29 August, 1781 at St. Georges,
Hempstead, Long Island. He served under Delancey - fought on the British
side and at the end of the war, he went to New Brunswick. I have found
a land grant for Lieut. Thomas Carpenter in New Brunswick. I have the
Quintard genealogy back to France- they were Huguenots who fled France
to Bristol, England and then to NY and settled in Stamford before 1700.
According to the Carpenter genealogy, Thomas (55) and Lucretia went to
Nova Scotia ( which became New Brunswick) where he had land granted to
him- and then by 1797, they were back in New York in Saratoga where they
sold their land in Stamford, CT. The genealogy also lists one son for
him, Thomas (146) b. 1757. I looked him up and found that this Thomas
married Edith Bunce and was a "very prominent man in religious circles
and also politically- " He was an alderman of the Methodist church, etc.
The author states " while somewhat in doubt as to the correctness of
this pedigree, etc." His son, Thomas is 399a and I can't find anything
further on 399a.
Here is my problem:
If the same Thomas ( 55)( born 1726) married Lucretia Quintard in 1781,
then he was 106 yrs old when he died in 1831. They settled in
Lansingburg, Troy, New York ( not far from Saratoga) The records of
Trinity Episcopal Church of Lansingburg ( cemetery- obits, etc) state
that he died 14? of May, 1831 aged 76 yrs. That means he was born in
1755 0r 1756. ( very close to the 1757 birth date of Thomas ( 149) son
of Thomas and Ann Stocker. Beside his gravestone is Lucretia Q.
Carpenter, wife of Thomas Carpenter, d. 23 May, 1816 at age 55 yrs.
According to the Quintard genealogy, she was born in 1761 which fits. Of
note is that her mother, Lucretia Burroughs, wife of Isaac Quintard died
in Stamford, CT on the 10 Sept. 1796- therefore, the land they sold in
1797 was probably the Stamford property that she had inherited from her
mother ( who was a widow- her father had died in 1794) It seems that the
Quintards were also loyalists although I don't know that they left
Stamford - Lucretia's two paternal aunts married loyalists (Ketchum and
Hubbard) moved to Nova Scotia ( and then St. John, NB) and her 2
sisters married husbands who were prob loyalists- (Leake and Wilson)
since they moved from CT to NYC and/or Long Island and eventually
settled in Albany ( in the same area as Lansingburg and Troy- they were
all in Albany County at the time)
I have found a Lieut. Thomas Carpenter from the New Brunswick grantbook
database who was given a grant in Parr Town ( which I believe was later
St. John) in 1784 ( NS) and 1785 ( NB) - That could be him but in any
case, Thomas and Lucretia had at least 3 children born bet. 1788 and
1793. ( there could have been more) Of note is that both Lucretia's
aunts were also in the same parish and town in New Brunswick ( the
Hubbards and Ketchums) Later, when Thomas and Lucretia moved to NY, both her sisters and their families were there also. I am not certain how many Carpenters went to NB first and then ended up in Albany area of NY- I have found both a Thomas and a Joseph Carpenter in the Albany area ( or Lansingburg) in the 1820 census index. Does anyone have any ancestors ( Carpenters) from that part of NY state? or a Thomas ( son of Thomas and Ann Stocker) - No.146 The one who was an alderman in the Methodist church in NY- born in 1757? The reason I am trying to locate anyone who might have him in their ancestry is b/c the author was uncertain of the "correctness of this ancestry" and I wonder if that Thomas was the son of Thomas and Ann
Stocker and the husband of Lucretia Quintard. That would make sense!
The strange way I found the Carpenter family was that my
ggreat-grandmother had a prenuptial agreement signed with her husband to
be b/c her mother had died when she was a baby and her grandfather had
left her mother's share of his estate to her- Her mother was Elizabeth
Quintard (Carpenter) Taylor b. 1793 d. 1823( d/o Thomas and Lucretia
Carpenter) as written in her obit and/or on gravestone- ( wife of Dr.
John Taylor)- they are all buried in the Trinity Episcopal Church
cemetery in Lansingburg. Although I knew that Lucretia Taylor ( my
ggreat-grandmother was the daughter of Elizabeth Quintard Taylor, I
first discovered that her mother's maiden name was Carpenter and her
grandfather was Thomas because of the prenuptial agreement! Then, I
found the rest of the connections- but I still can't make the connection
as to who were the parents of Thomas Carpenter the loyalist!
I have contacted St. George Church in Hempstead where they were married
and the warden saye the records are in the vault- I live in California
and he is willing to search but he does not know when he may have time
to do it- I need to do a search on the two marriages ( Thomas and Anne
Stocker) and Thomas and Lucretia Quintard. The records have never been
copied by the LDS- only some marriages in the early 1700s- and the
warden does not think anyone has copied them. I am going to be in New
England at Thanksgiving and if possible, I thought I would try to get to
the church in Hempstead but with grandchildren in tow, I don't know! I
live in California- and would appreciate any input that anyone has
concerning this line of the family. Or any suggestions where to look?
Thank you- Annabel Bixby abixby@home.com

Dear John,
We are fairly close neighbors in California- I live in Laguna Niguel. I
could not complete my research, however, I completed the 25 hours
required and plan to continue the research to complete the one unit
still required for completion of History 393. These are independent
study courses from BYU - I need 18 units for a certificate-but would
like to continue and become accredited of I live long enough. Although i
don't have the info I did obtain nearby at the moment, I do have it all
somewhere. I just returned from a trip to Maine for Thanksgiving with
our daughters and grandchildren which included a 4 day trip to NYC with
4 grandchildren to see "The Lion King" and NYC all decorated for Xmas=
Once was enough- I have never seem so many people in one place in my
life! But they all enjoyed it- even some 2 hour waits! What I did learn
from someone who looks up info in books on the Long Island website was
that the marriage of Ensign Thomas Carpenter and Lucretia Quintard was
officially recorded in the St. George church records and also in the NY
Biographical, etc. ( can't remember the whole name right now) which I
believe is at the NYC library- to find our hotel, we drove by the
library with the lions decorated with wreaths about 6 times but never
did get into it! I also found a site for the loyalists who went to New
Brunswick and the land which was granted to them. Ensign or Lieut. ( by
then) Thomas Carpenter was one of the grantees- there were actually two
Thomas Carpenters listed. I have written to the website about the grant
but they claim there is little on the grants such as wives, children,
ages, etc. My problem as you know is that having worked back in time to
Thomas and Lucretia who wound up in Lansingburg, NY and both died and
are buried there in the Episcopal church cemetery, he would have been
106 yrs old if he is the same one who married both Anne Stocker and
Lucretia Quintard. They definitely had children- at least 3 are named in
the Quintard genealogy but it ends with their names just as the
Carpenter genealogy ended with "no further information on this couple"
except the record of the sale of property in Stamford by them in
Saratoga in abt. 1797. That was her parents' property- her father,
Isaac Quintard died in 1794 and her mother in 1796 and they are both
buried in Stamford, CT. The marriage record for Lucretia and Thomas
states that Lucretia was at that time a resident of Suffolk County?,
Long Island and previously of Stamford, CT. Since there is some question
as to whether her father was a loyalist or not ( he was an innkeeper in
Stamford and was accused of having hidden gun powder according to the
genealogy but no mention of what punishment he received is mentioned)-
it is quite possible that he went with his family to Long Island during
the war and then returned to Stamford after the war. He had 2 daughters
who married loyalists before Lucretia married Thomas and he had two
sisters who married well known loyalists who were among the leading
citizens of St. John, NB and would have been her aunts- however, there
does not seem to be any question that he and his wife, at least, did
return to Stamford after the war and lived there until their deaths.
They had only one son- the youngest child named Isaac who joined the
patriots at age 16 as a private and worked his way up to capt. or col.
I found his obit in an old NEHGS Register so the family seemed to have
been divided! They were originally French Huguenots who fled France for
England, the original emigrants were married in bristol, England and
their 2 sons, Pierre and Isaac were born there., The family emigrated
first to NYC in about 1699 and then settled in Stamford and Norwalk.
Therefore, if they had some loyalty to England, it would be expected.
I have also contacted a website which has a list of the loyalist troops
but so far he has only one Sgt. Thomas Carpenter listed who was from
England but served with the loyalists under the same colonel as
Lucretia's husband served. But he was a British citizen - and he
probably returned home after the war- unfotunately, the 2nd and 3rd
battalion lists are incomplete. Anyway, I realized that I had come
across a problem that was not going to be resolved easily. I had hoped
he would be the son, Thomas, of Thomas and Anne Stocker born in about
1757 ( the age etc. would fit and he would have been the grandson of
Joseph and Mary?Willet-However, David Carpenter traced this Thomas down
several generations- he moved to Brooklyn- was successful in business
and a strong Methodist and one of his sons became a Methodist itinerant
minister. So if that is correct, then he can't be the same Thomas who
married Lucretia. What i am beginning to think is that the Thomas I am
looking for is a son of another one of the Carpenters - I have made a
list of all the Thomas' I can find and there are a couple unaccounted
for- or whose ancestry is not carried on so perhaps he may turn out to
be one of them- I would like to get into the church at Hempstead
sometime to see if I can find witnesses to the marriage which might be
helpful- meanwhile, I am working on the Carpenters ( including her aunts
who married loyalists one of whom has extensive letters that are stored
in the archives in New Brunswick) His name was Hubbard I believe- and
another one was a doctor- but the Hubbard papers are apparently lengthy
and may well provide some info on the younger family of Thomas and
Lucretia- his son's letters are also included which would have been her
first cousin. If I could get an age on Thomas, then maybe I would have
something definite to work with in tracing his parents, etc. However the
papers cannot be removed from the university in New Brunswick so I
thought perhaps when we go to visit our family in Maine next summer I
could take a short side trip to the university.
When I finally get the info I am looking for, I will let you know and
the other Carpenters who have web pages or on the email site.
Will keep in touch when I have some more news-But I am fairly well
convinced that the Thomas who married Lucretia cannot be the same one
who married Anne Stocker- actually after Lucretia died in 1816 in
Lansingburg, NY, he remarried and he would have been 90 yrs old if he
was born in 1726. Since David Carpenter admitted to having some
questions about this line including the son, Thomas, of Thomas and Ann
Stocker and also what became of Thomas and Lucretia, I am sure if he
were alive today, he would agree that knowing what i do now- that Thomas
died at age 106, that there is prob. an error somewhere and I guess it
is my task to find and correct it!
Should you have any suggestions or any new info at any time, i would
appreciate hearing from you!
Happy holidays, Annabel Bixby abixby@home.com

From: "John L. Carpenter"
This is a quote from The " History & Genealogy of the Carpenter Famuly from
the settlement at Providence ,R.I., " by Daniel H. Carpenter pub 1901 Marion
press ,Jamacia Queens,NY page 96; "55 Thomas Carpenter son of joseph 19 was born 15 d 2 mo. 1726. I have tried in vain to satisfactorily trace this Thomas and his line of decent. I am inclined to think that he on October 2, 1748, was married to Ann Stocker. She probaly died soon afterwards.
There is little doubt he married twice. I think his second wife was
Lucretia Quintard of Stamford Conn., to whom he married August 20, 1781, and immeadiately after the close of the Revolutionary War h emigrated to Novia Scotia , where he had land granted to him and wher he was pensioned by the Brittish government. He, however soon repented of this situation, and is believed to have returned to Long Island and died at Smithtown or Southhold.
His son 146 Thomas, born------, 1757. " footnote at bottom of page reads:
"Lucretia Quintard was daughter of Issac & Lucretia Quintard. They were
Loyalist who went from Stamford to Long Island for protection, and after the
war were compelled to emigrate to Nova Scotia. Thomas was a ensign in De
Lancey's Third battalion and a adjunt of the corps. He went to St. John's
N.B., at the peace and was one of the grantees of that city, recieving half
pay. He could not have remained ther very long, as on September 30 , 1797
he and his wife were at Saratoga Springs and sold land at Stamford,Conn.
After that date can find no further trace of them.
Both Marriages of Thomas Carpenter are recorded in St George's Church in
Hempstead, L.I., NY.
A Henry Stocker of Graet Neck, L.I. , made his will April 19, 1785. ( vide
New York Wills, 38,122) { Not sure the relavice of this note --JLC/}
Lucretia Quintard was born February 10, 1760, as may be seen in the Stamford vital records. I had a very pleasent correspondence with Bishop Quintard of Tennessee , and also with Mr Charles R. Quintard of Stamford, Conn.,and Mr J. W. Lawerence of St. John's N.B. in relation to this Thomas, but with no definite results ( D H C , Nov 1893 )
I found a land sale from a Issac Quintard only mention of Quintard family
on the LI CD # 173.
E-MAIL: Sun, 26 Sep 1999 From: "John L. Carpenter"
Dear John,
I forgot to explain the real problem I am having. The Trinity Episcopal
Church in Lansingburg, NY. cemetery has a list of names of persons in
the cemetery. They have Thomas Carpenter died 14? of May 1831
His wife Lucretia Carpenter died May 23, 1836. She was born in 10 Feb.
1760 ( d/o Isaac Quintard and Lucretia Burroughs.) She is listed on the
cemetery records as the wife of Thomas Carpenter and since he is the
only Thomas Carpenter in the cemetery, I assume he was her husband. The
L.I. Carpenter genealogy states he died in Southold or Smithtown, L.I.
The problem I found after learning of the cemetery records is that if he
is the same Thomas Carpenter who m. Lucretia Quintard, then there has to
be an error somewhere b/c the Long Island records state that he was
born in 1725/26 as the son of Joseph and Mary Willet. The Quintard
genealogy (in a quote from the Carpenter genealogy) lists his birth
date as 1636. If he is the same Thomas Carpenter who married Lucretia
Quintard, he could not have been born in 1725/26 and died in 1831. That
was over one hundred years. Do you have any idea of where the error
might be or the source for his birth in 1625/26 b/c after I read that, I
decided that perhaps I am missing a generation. I don't think there is
any doubt that Lucretia Burroughs Quintard m. Thomas Carpenter in 1781
but could there have been another Thomas Carpenter? Actually, if he was
born in 1636, he was prob. too young to have m. Anne Stocker first. I
found Eliza Q', obituary in the Lansingburgh Gazette. Carpenter and
Incidentally, the Ancestral file from the LDS lists Thomas Carpenter as
marrying in 1781, Lucretia Burroughs ( they left out the surname
Quintard) Her mother was Lucretia Burroughs who married Isaac St. John.
My question is from what source did the birthdate for Thomas Carpenter
come from? 1925/26 b/c that cannot be correct or it is not the same
Thomas Carpenter. If you have a copy of the Carpenter genealogy, could
you do me a great favor and look up the information on his birth date
and 2 marriages with the dates? I have found a land grant from the King
to a Lieut. Thomas Carpenter in abt. 1785 in New Brunswick. I assume he
is the same one- the question is whether the Thomas Carpenter who m.
Anne Stocker is the same one as the one who married Lucretia Quintard,
and was he also the loyalist who went to New Brunswick? I also read that
he and his family were back in Saratoga, NY by 1797 and Saratoga is part
of Albany County ( or was at that time) and it was fairly close to
Lansingburgh. Actually, the fact of whether or not he was the loyalist
is of equal interest to me. When you have a chance could you check it
out in the Carpenter genealogy? Right now Thomas is listed twice in the
LI genealogy as 100 and 101. Thanks again for any assistance.

P.S. I thought this was going to be an easy assignment but it gets more
complicated with each new source!
E-MAIL: Date: Thu, 17 Aug 2000 From: abixby
Dear John ( and all)
I am back again with the problem of Thomas Carpenter b. 1726 ( s/o
Joseph) who married 1. Anne Stocker and 2. Lucretia Quintard in 1781 at
St. George's Church in Hempstead, NY ( according to the Carpenter
genealogy) However, I know ( from his will and tombstone inscription in
Lansingburg, NY) that Thomas, husband of Lucretia Quintard, was 76 yrs.
old when he died in 1831 in Lansingburg. He and Lucretia were married in
1781 at St. George's Church, Hempstead, NY "by military authority." The
genealogy stated that he was a loyalist and an ensign in Gen. Delancey's
Regiment which fought for the British. ( It was my understanding that
this regiment was made up of loyalists and not of British soldiers.)
However, I just found the following info in " The New Loyalists Index"
"Thomas Carpenter, Ensign in 2nd battalion Brig. Gen. Delancey's
Regiment c. 1783, AGE 26 yrs., from ENGLAND, served British Corps 4 yrs.
Provincial 7 Years. Source: "Loyalists in Ontario." On the land grant
database ( of loyalists who arrived from the US) at the Univ. of New
Brunswick, there is Lieut. Thomas Carpenter ( presumably the same with a
promotion) who recd a land grant in Parr Town, Sudbury. I sent for a
copy but they told me that particular land grant is 50 pages long and
all names - no bio info. I suspect they were the loyalists who arrived
in the fall fleet who found there was not enough land, supplies, etc.
left for all of them, etc. It is a long sad tale of the families who
tried to settle in Parr Town as winter set in. Perhaps that is why
Thomas and Lucretia went to New York state or to Ontario?
However, the genealogy may have been in error concerning Thomas
Carpenter. The one in the loyalists index, Ensign Thomas who was
identified in the marriage records at St. George's also, would have been
born in abt. 1757 ( give or take 2 yrs. since the index lists him as age
26 abt. 1783) But the real question is was he a native of England and
not related to the Carpenters on Long Island??
If so, then I would have to go back to England to find his ancestry and
he would not share the Carpenter ancestry at all! I hope the index is
mistaken b/c that means starting from square one again. Also, I don't
understand why he was fighting in Gen Delancey's brigade if he was from
England? Any help in this direction would be appreciated.
I notice you have some info today on locating English Carpenters.
I wonder if that would be helpful or whether I need to go through the
British military records? Or is this all another mistake??
I am beginning to wish I had left well enough alone and let him be 106
yrs old when he died! But I am still working on this for credit in
a class at BYU and I have until Oct. 19th to finish the 2nd part which
is to do another 30 hrs. on trying to solve this puzzle that arose from
the Carpenter genealogy- of course, the author had no way of knowing the
information I have at the time he wrote it. But is it possible that
Lucretia married a British soldier instead of a member of the colonial
family of Carpenters? That would explain why there doesn't seem to be
any Thomas b. 1755-1757 in the genealogy who would fit the loyalist
Ensign Thomas Carpenter.
Any suggestions or ideas on this problem would be appreciated.
Thanks Annabel Bixby abixby@home.com

Dear John,
I wrote to you about a year ago concerning Thomas Carpenter who married
Lucretia Quintard in 1781. He was listed in the parish records as an
Ensign and Adjutant in Gen. Delancey's 2nd battalion ( later the 3rd).
Due to my own problems including a 2nd rotator cuff surgery in one year
on my left shoulder last March and then in October my dogs bolted after
a squirrel in downtown LA and I was holding both their leashes in my
right hand and couldn't get free so I broke my right shoulder ( 8 yrs.
from the day I broke the left one!) So now I am finally recovered. I
had two other courses to complete which I finally finished after several
extensions ( and learning how to use the mouse with my left hand and
type with one arm in a sling!) So I am back to my one unit to complete
for a class that included 2 units for the annual conference ( in 1999!)
and other work to go with it. I have had 2 extensions to finish this
last unit which involves the error in the Carpenter genealogy (
descendants of William). It was hard to cut off that entire branch of
the family tree but it became more obvious as I went along that the
Thomas Carpenter who married Anne Stocker and had a son named Thomas was
not the same one who married Lucretia Quintard. I spent 5 days at the
Family History Library in SLC in October ( primarily to complete another
course)but also worked on researching this one. I was in the library at
least 10 hours a day and would have liked to spend another week! ( or month even!) However,
I read the history of St. George's Church in Hempstead, LI which
remained loyal to the Church of England throughout the Revolution. In
reading through the parish records many of which are on microfilm and in
the New York Genealogical and Historical Society records, I wrote down
the names of each Carpenter who had married at St. George's and with the
exception of perhaps 1 or 2 that I could not identify their wives'
families, they married wives whose families were members of St. Georges-
such as Anne Stocker- there are baptismal records for her and at least
one sister there. My conclusion was that most of the Carpenter family
in Oyster Bay or on Long Island were not members of St. Georges. I
believe that the genealogy mentioned that Joseph Carpenter may have been
a Friend ( or Quaker) and the names of his children had been recorded at
the local meeting house including Thomas born in 1726 and I know that
Thomas Carpenter Jr. was said to have become a staunch Methodist in
Brooklyn, New York. The history states that during the Revolution
the minister was very busy marrying British soldiers to local girls!
and that the names of those soldiers can still be found in Hempstead.
There is a sharp increase in marriages starting in 1777 and many new
names that did not show up in the parish in previous years appeared- no
doubt soldiers. They apparently only listed the officers ( their titles
anyway) and there were quite a few including Ensign-Adjutant Thomas
Carpenter and Lucretia Quintard. I think it would be safe to say that
he does not belong in that genealogy. I have been in touch with two
other descendants of this couple who did not know much about him either.
I even have a photo of a portrait painted of him when he was 66 yrs old.
Todd W. Braisted of the The On-Line Institute for Advanced Loyalist
Studies website wrote to me over a year ago that Thomas was a member of
an elite Brigade of Foot Guards. I have since learned that he was in
the First Regiment of Foot Guards now known as the Grenadiers- they are
known as one of the Household Regiments since they guard the Queen and
do the changing of the guard, etc. in London among other duties.
When I first read this letter, I put it aside b/c I was still trying to
figure out whether Thomas Carpenter was a loyalist etc. ( and why since
with the exception of Aechulus ( sp?) Carpenter who was living in
Westchester County at the beginning of the Revolution and Willet who I
think was his son, I have not found many Carpenters who were loyalists-
in fact, I don't think there were any others on Long Island. Have you
found any others in that area? In any case, this is the information I
received from Todd Braisted.
" Thomas Carpenter is one of a small group of unique persons holding
commissions in the Provincial Corps. Carpenter was not a Loyalist from
America, but rather a regular British soldier, a Sergeant from the elite
Brigade of Foot Guards. The Guards arrived in America in the summer of
1776 and served in all the major campaigns. To reward faithful service
and advance promising Sergeants ( something almost impossible in the
Regular Army) , some were made officers in Loyalist regiments. This
provided for experience and professionalism in the new corps and
rewarded the service of the good NCOs. Carpenter was commissioned an
Ensign on 25 June 1780 in the 3rd battalion of Delancey's Brigade,
commanded by Col. Gabriel Ludlow. Source: 1783 North American Army List,
New York Historical Society. According to a list prepared at the end of
the war, Carpenter is listed as a native of England and mentions him
being a Sergeant from the Guards. Source: Great Britain Public Record
Office, Colonial Office, Class 5, Volume III, folio 231. His military
career after joining DeLancey's was rather uneventful, the corps engaged
only in garrison duty on Long island for the remainder of the war. In
1782, Delancey's 3rd battalion was renumbered 2nd battalion. I have no
indication that he was promoted to Lieutenant. The final half-pay list
at war's end still lists him as an ensign."
Although I should have accepted this information as being more
noteworthy than I did at the time, I still was uncertain as to how I
could connect this Ensign Thomas Carpenter to Lucretia Quintard. The
marriage records from the church pretty well convinced me. He was 26 yrs
old in 1783 so he was born in 1757. Another researcher ( it is his
wife's family) who lives in CT has been very helpful. The IGI lists an
Eliza and an Isaac Carpenter as having been baptised at an Episcopal
Church in New Haven in 1786 and 1788 respectively. He went to the
church and looked up the records and found the names of the parents and
godparents, etc. and they were obviously Thomas and Lucretia's first 2
children. The one thing I have had a problem with is a land grant for a
Lieut. Thomas Carpenter in Nova Scotia and then New Brunswick which he
was given in 1783-84. Is this the same person? On the marriage records
he is listed as Ensign and Adjutant ( and I found that Adjutant could
mean Lieut.) so perhaps that is where it came from. However, when I sent
for a copy of the grant, I was informed there were about 500 names
listed for this same land grant in Parr Town, Sudbury, New Brunswick but
without any further biographical information. Then I found a ship list
at the FHL for the "Cy" who were refugees from New York to Nova Scotia.
It included Aechulas (sp) and several names under his- as children
presumably all from Westchester County, NY plus a Thomas Carpenter from
England. I have contacted the First or Grenadier Brigade of Foot Guards
website Lt. Col. Winston Stone who is looking up more information for
me. ( They do reenactments of different regiments) He did say there was
a Sgt. Thomas Carpenter in the Grenadier Guards but he is going to send
me any other info he may have about him. One source claims he was born
in Minorca which if true, may have meant his father was in the military
also. He would have been 19 yrs old when he arrived in America so
perhaps he was a son of another member of the Guard. I have found two
Thomas Carpenters born in England in 1757 in the IGI one from Astley or
Shotley- Herefordshire? Have you ever done any military backgrounds on
the Carpenters in England? One thing that is intriging although it is
probably coincidence is that the First Regiment was one of five
regiments organized in Brugges in 1656 by Charles II while he was in
exile in Belgium to fight with Spain against the alliance of Cromwell
and King Louis XIV. One of these 5 regiments were 400 of the Kings most
loyal supporters and became known as the Royal Regiment under the
Command of Lord Wentworth. The Royal Regiment was still in France when
Charles was restored to the throne in 1660 - in 1665, they were brought
to England and upon the death of Lord Wentworth, they were linked
together to become the first regiment of foot guards. They earned the
title of Grenadier as a result of their bravery at Waterloo- the only
regiment of the British Army to have directly gained its title from the
part it played in battle. Although I don't see the mention of Flanders
here, didn't you have some of the Carpentiers coming from Flanders? or
France?
From what I have read, the officers consisted of the landed gentry, all
considered to be "gentlemen." I wondered if Thomas's father may have
been in the Guards b/c it seems like the type of regiment that might
be traditional in a family? Although he arrived as a sergeant in 1776,
since he was only 19 yrs old, he may not have been old enough or
experienced enough to be an officer but was recruited to join Gen Howe
on Staten Island in July 1775. However, I don't know what it required to
join the Foot Guards but obviously they didn't take just anyone who came
along since they were the personal guards of the King or Queen. The ones
with the bear-skin hats and red uniforms. If he did go to Nova Scotia or
New Brunswick, he must have returned to America pretty rapidly in order
to have fathered a child in 1786 and then in 1788. It is our opinion
that he may have gone to Nova Scotia alone to either be mustered out-
get his pension or whatever was required since he was British and not
American.
That is what I am trying to find out now- where he was mustered out-
and it would seem that it would have been on British territory. Then, he
returned- how I don't know or whether this would have created a problem.
The godfather of their first child was Isaac Quintard, however, we don't
know if it was Sr. or Jr. b/c one wonders how an ex-captain in the
Revolution on the patriot side ( Isaac Jr.) having joined at age 16
would feel about his brother-in-law, who was a British soldier? I cannot
find any further references to his birthplace on records during his
lifetime. Although according to the church records in Hempstead, it
appears that British soldiers did settle there and remained there with
their wives after the war, so there must have been some acceptance of
this situation. The Quintards were a mixture of loyalists and patriots.
Isaac Quintard, Lucretias's father was a captain in the Stamford militia
however he was brought before the town authorities and accused of hiding
gunpowder barrels behind his inn. He wrote a long letter to the
newspaper of explanation as to how this incident occurred and
apparently, they accepted his explanation. However, his two sisters
married loyalists - one of whom- Hubbard- was later a chief justice in
New Brunswick. Of his 4 children, 2 of his daughers married "loyalists"
and Hannah, the eldest moved with her husband to Huntington, L.I. and
her sister married a Dr. John Wilson, also apparently a loyalist- but
they did not fight in the war and moved to the Albany area when the war
was over. His only son, Isaac, joined the patriots at age 16 and became
a captain during the war. His obit was in the NEHGS Register when he
died at age 90. One possibility is that Lucretia went with her older
sister, Hannah, to Huntington, LI b/c on the marriage records, it
stated that she was a native or originally from Stamford, CT and more
recently of Suffolk County, NY.
I wonder if you could look up a reference you gave me- a land sale from
an Isaac Quintard on the LI CD #173. Does it give any date? There were
several generations and even nephews etc. of the original Isaac Quintard
who fled France and originally settled in Bristol, England and married
the daughter of another French Huguenot family. He emigrated in 1695 to
New York City with his two sons, Isaac and Pierre ( Peter) who had been
born in England. He then moved to Stamford where his son Isaac inherited
his land from him. This explains some of the conflict they must have
felt about the Revolution. Isaac Sr. was listed in the Stamford records
as a "pensioner" in the Revolution ( formerly a captain in the militia)
so it appears that he was not forced to leave. But I am curious about
the property he sold in Long Island and which Isaac owned it- and
whether it was a for a "retreat" during the Revolution.
I am about to turn in what I have completed on researching this couple
b/c I want to start another course and this one unit has been "hanging
around" too long! I will continue my search for his ancestry and also to
see if there is a tie-in at all with your branch of the family.
Incidentally, he died quite a wealthy man. I copied his will plus copies
of land records that showed he started buying land in about 1815 in
Lansingburg, NY. I have traced them to Saratoga in about 1797 and then
to census records in 1810 ( and 1820-1830) in Lansingburg. He had only
one surviving daughter but there were 7-8 grandchildren to whome he left
quite a lot of property, several brick homes, capital stocks in both the
First Bank of Lansingburg and the first Insurance Company so he may have
had a part in founding the bank and the insurance company. They had 5
children: the 1st Eliza born 1786 died at 6 months. Isaac Carpenter was
born in 1788- the only son- then Elisabeth Quintard Carpenter ( my
direct ancestor) in 1791; she married Dr. John Taylor and they had 3
children; and Lucretia Burroughs Carpenter who married Andrew Thompson
and had several children and Catherine born 1799 died 1819 at age 20-
married but without any living children. However, Isaac ( who
apparently predeceased his father) left two sons William Henry Carpenter
and John S. Carpenter. I don't know when they were born but in 1831,
they were of age since their grandfather did not have to appoint a
guardian for them as he did for the 3 Taylor children. He left one
daughter and 7-8 grandchildren; all living in the area including the two
male Carpenter grandsons so the Carpenter surname may have survived for some time after his death.
If you could look up the LI land sale for a date, I would be very
grateful. Maybe our Carpenter ancestry may come together back in England
at some point. We plan to go back to England for our 55th anniversary in
2002. We spent our 50th there and my husband really wants to go back- he
is 100% English whereas I am half French and I want to go back to France
again, also. We visited several of his ancestral villages and churches
in Suffolk County last time, however, there are still many areas we want
to visit that we missed before. I would love to get into the PRO
records. I met several people from the FHHS ( English) who were at the
FHL for the annual church conference the same weekend I was there and
they told me they plan to have every soldier in every regiment record
available soon- however, I believe the Guards are already available-
definitely the officers. I thought this might be of interest to you b/c
of your interest in their background in England and this seems to be the
first case I have found of a Carpenter in the military - esp. in such a
prestigious regiment as the Foot Guards that I would like to trace back
to see if possibly his father may have also been in the military.

To: John Carpenter
Dear John,
This should be known at the Tale of Two Thomas Carpenters!
No. 1 problem.
You wrote:
"One a British Sergeant (RA) and then promoted to an Ensign
(sub-Lieutentant in a provisional brigade). He was born in England and
went to Canada on half pay. ONLY Regular British Army Officers were
placed on half pay. When on half pay they were subject to recall to
active duty when needed.
An "Adjutant" in military terms is an assistant to a commanding officer.
Often the "Adjutant" acted like an executive officer. Due to battle and
sickness, it would not be unknown for an Ensign (or acting Lieutenant)
to be the Adjutant. "
Tonight, I think I may have found why he has been listed as two
different Thomas Carpenters while in Delancey's brigade. I have the CD
#144 on Loyalists- which include quite a few of the books and lists,
etc. One which is a record from the PRO T64-23 ( British public records
I assume)is a list of the "Second Battalion, Delancey's, now serving on
half-pay."
Col. Gabriel Ludlow was the commanding officer. No date but it was after
1781 b/c the next entry is dated April 22 1782 when the 2nd battalion
was reduced. On the list which starts with the top officer and goes down
accordingly there were supposed to be 9 lieutenants however, Nos. 8 and
9 are listed as "vacant" They had 8 Ensigns with No. 9 "vacant." Ensign
Thomas Carpenter is listed as No. 2 on the list. Then one chaplain is
listed followed by two Adjutants, the first one is "vacant" and the
second one is Thomas Carpenter. Therefore, it appears that he was
serving in two different capacities due probably to the shortage they
were experiencing. This may explain why the confusion arose as to
whether he was the ensign and adjutant as stated in the marriage records
of the church or whether as seen in at least one source that there were
two Thomas Carpenters in the same battalion! One an ensign and one an
adjutant. ( including on Delancey's 3rd battalion web site)
I think these records answer the question pretty well as to whether
there were two Thomas' - I am now convinced after looking at the
records, that the source I came across in my search ( perhaps two) which
listed them as two separate persons were in error. They listed the
ensign as born in England and no place of birth was listed for the
Adjutant.
Problem No. 2
You wrote:
"The second, a son of Joseph Carpenter also named Thomas who was a
Sergeant in the provisional brigade. This was the Thomas who was able
to petition Congress successfully for redress about 1790/1792. This
second Thomas is the one that stayed and lived in New York City near his
son."
Do you have any other info on him- was he a loyalist? and the petition
to Congress for redress- what was that about? There is a Lieut Thomas
Carpenter from Westchester County that served in the 2nd NY regiment and
who also recd bounty land ( from "New York in the Revolution as Colony
and State" ) However, did your Thomas born in 1726, who m. Anne Stocker
also serve in the military during the war? If so, was he in a provincial
brigade ( that would be a loyalist wouldn't it?) I have not come across
him as a Sgt. in a loyalist brigade as yet and I would be interested in
that information.
Problem No. 3
"Ahnentafel Chart for Thomas Carpenter-20039
First Generation
1. Thomas Carpenter-20039 was born 15 Feb 1726 in Musketa
Cove, Queens,
LI, NY. He died in Smithtown, Or Southold, LI, NY. He was buried Abt 14
May 1831 in Trinityepiscopal, Church Cem., Lansingburg, NY.
Number 56 in the book "The Carpenter Family in America" by Daniel H.
Carpenter, 1901. Family on page 96.
Probably, after selling property willed to him by his father, he went
back to Canada or England. See note below, however.
He went to St. John's, N.B., at the peace and was one of the grantees of
that city.
On 30 Sept. 1797, he and his wife Lucretia sold land at Stamford, CT
(her parents old property!). No further trace can be found. "
This should be changed!!
1. Thomas Carpenter-20039 was born 15 Feb 1726 in Musketa Cove,
Queens, LI, NY. (He died in Smithtown, Or Southold, LI, NY. ?)
Number 56 in the book "The Carpenter Family in America" by Daniel H.
Carpenter, 1901. Family on page 96.
In other words, Lucretia Quintard does not belong in this genealogy and
neither does her husband, Thomas Carpenter. It should just end with the
marriage to Anne Stocker and their son, Thomas.
Problem No. 4
Just to add to my problem of untangling the two Thomas Carpenters, it
turned out there was a Joseph and Thomas Carpenter listed in the 1790
census for Rennselaer County and two Thomas' listed in the 1800 census.
However, after going over them carefully, I was able to determine that
my Thomas who came later than the 1st one, is in the 1810 census with
the exact ages listed for one son, 3 daughters , his wife and himself.
By 1820, they can easily be separated b/c Thomas lived in Lansingburg
and the town is stated in the index for 1820 while the other more
pioneer Carpenter family which kept growing had settled in Stephentown.
Once I was able to separate the two families, I was able to figure out
which land records were being bought by whom. Of note is that my Thomas
is listed as T. Carpenter in the 1810 census and not as Thomas. I keep
wondering if he was protecting his identity b/c he is very illusive
from 1783 to 1810.
Now I am trying to figure out where he would have been mustered out-
and whether they lived as a family at any time in New Brunswick b/c of
the 3 children baptized in New Haven. Also, I am hoping to find out
from military records from the PRO, some possible info on him when he
joined the Foot Guards b/c that might provide his place of birth.
In any event, I am about to wind up my 2nd installment of research -
I have put in sufficient time for the last unit. And then I can get back
to doing this at leisure! However, from the info I have now, I am
absolutely certain that your Thomas' 2nd marriage does not belong there!
Of course, the author had no way of knowing where or when he died. And
he admitted being somewhat hesitant about this Thomas and his
marriages. I think the fact that both Thomas' married at St. Georges is
what threw him off!
I would like to know something about this other Sgt. Thomas Carpenter
and whether he was a loyalist! If you could fill me in- and his petition
to Congress, etc. Also, if you could do a look-up for me sometime on the
land sale on Long Island on CD #173 for Isaac Quintard land sale, I
would very much appreciate it. No rush.
Thanks again for your help!
There have seemed to be two Thomas' all along the way to confuse the
issue! ( either two that should be one or one that should be two!)
