35083. Elizabeth Barker Carpenter

Elizabeth had no children. She Went by the name of Mrs. E. V. D. Corput -
her husband's name was Rex, and I remember the V.D standing for Van Dam
(don't know where that comes from)  Who's Who states her middle name was
Barker. Somewhere I picked up the fact that she was married to a William
Cleveland - If she was, this marriage was before her marriage to Rex
Corput.

Elizabeth went by the nicknames of Bessie and Betty.  I knew her as Aunt
Betty, and remember her living in York, PA when I was a child in York.

Verified birth in Clark  records.  Child, 2y8m12d. Died of poison while playing "store".


35120. Wesley Lee Carpenter

Never married. He was 52y 11m 9d.


26680. Henry Griffin Carpenter

"FAMILY RECORD of the Carpenter Family", pub. in 1947.  Correspondence from Eunice Jane Carpenter, Henry's sister, and Miss Cox, granddaughter to Jane Carpenter, Abner Carpenter's daughter and sister to Hannah.

Death records verified, which gave birth as IL.  Obituary said Henry was 92y 8d.  He moved with parents from IL to IN in 1863, then back to IL in 1876. This is the same family in this record as Mary Lillian McNair.

Henry's wife Mary was a daughter of first cousins, and Henry and Mary were first cousins also.  Rebecca McNair Carpenter (Henry's grandmother)  was a sister to Mary Lillian McNair's grandfather, Thomas McNair.  Henry's father, John McNair Carpenter, was a brother to Mary's mother Hannah Carpenter (who married John H. McNair).  Henry's grandmother, Rebecca McNair Carpenter's mother was Hannah Allen, who married John McNair Jr.  She was blind.  Her father was Thomas Allen, mother Rebekah Allen (related by ancestors).   The Allen branch, in the McNair line, had many members of a family who were blind.  They were known as the "Blind Allen's".  This was caused by diabetes, although history records it differently.

Three of the children of Henry Griffin Carpenter were blind, and four of the children never married, two died young. Cause of blindness was diabetes, possibly an inherited trait.  Letter from Eunice Carpenter Jackson, daughter of John McNair and Phebe Ellen Griffing Carpenter, confirmed the diabetes as she described their illness in a letter to Blanche Cox, a descendant of Jane Carpenter Balding.  Jane was Abner Carpenter's daughter.  She wrote on Jan 3, 1969, " . . .tell you about Uncle Henry's girls.  They are all in the hospital but Emma . . .her and John are at home alone and have been for over a week.  The say they are getting along fine, but I am afraid they will get a fire but hope not.  Rhoda hasn't been at home to stay only one day since March and now she has both legs off above her knees for the Diabetes . . . and Mary has an awful sore toe . . .and Bessie has had pneumonia and her heart. . ."           A granddaughter, in 1994, has confirmed the inherited disease.

Births of Bessie Catherine, Frank Sylvester, Emma Ila, and Charles Allen were verified in the Clark  Records.  Obituary of Bessie's lists Frank of Chicago, Emma of Casey, Mary of Lincoln, and Charles of Greenup. Mary, Emma, John, Bessie, and Rhoda are all buried by parents in Marshall Cem., in Marshall, IL.  "There were children who died in infancy."  We do not know whose children, but it was probably Stella who died at age 2, and Irene Alma, less than 1 yr old.  These two were their first and last children.  Henry's obituary lists 4 granddaughters and 4 grandsons.  This does not agree with the record, but one of his sons had two foster children.


Mary Lillian McNair

1860 U. S. Census Jasper, IL, there is a Mary age 1 with John H. McNair and Hannah Carpenter. so her birth year is 1859, as these are her parents. She was 74 when she died.  (See notes for her husband Henry Griffin Carpenter as to their prior relationship.) This is the same family in this record as Henry Griffin Carpenter.

Mary's father is listed as being born in Omer, IN, probably St. Omer, Decatur, IN.  The McNair's and Abner Carpenter family (John McNair Carpenter's father) lived in St. Omer, Decatur, IN. in the 1830's.

The Thomas McNair family (father to John) who md. Hannah Carpenter, is on the 1850 U.S. Census of Newton, Jasper, IL. Roll 110, Copy 452, page 272.  Film 007683.  Newton is also the town in IL. from which two of Hannah's brothers volunteered for service in the Civil War, Robert (gave his birth place as St. Omer, Decatur, IN) and Abner Carpenter (gave his birth place as Valpariso, Porter, IN).  Robert was killed, Abner lost an arm during the Civil War.

1860 U. S. Census Jasper , IL, there is a Mary age 1 with John H. McNair and Hannah Carpenter. so her birth year is 1859, as these are her parents. She was 74 when she died.  (See notes for her husband Henry Griffin Carpenter as to their prior relationship.)

Mary's father is listed as being born in Omer, Ind., probably St. Omer, Decatur, Ind.  The McNair's and Abner Carpenter family (John McNair Carpenter's father) lived in St. Omer, Decatur, Ind. in the 1830's.

Mary was the daughter of first cousins and Henry and Mary were first cousins also.  See husband's notes for their prior relationship.
