2066. Rufus Carpenter

Rufus was Ebenezer's first born-September 29, 1780, not quite a year after Ebenezer and Isabel were married. He is the only one of the children whose birth is recorded in Tyringham, although all but the last two were born there. Even Rufus was unnamed on the records. Two childrenborn to the Amos Carpenters suffered the same anonymity. Rufus is a rather shadowy figure. He first shows up on the Federal Census for 1810 which indicates that by that time he was married, but without children. By 1820 he had acquired two daughters under ten years of age. The years from 1820 to 1830 were productive ones for the Rufus Carpenters. By 1830they had three sons under ten years of age and six daughters. By thistime Rufus was 50 years ofage and when he died only 12 years later heleft four or five children still in their teens. But then, in those daysmany boys were on their own by fifteen (even younger in my greatgrandfather's family) and many girls were married while still in theirteens. I have a copy of the deed dated July 9, 1825 whereby Ebenezer soldthe last part of his farm to Rufus for the nominal sum of $500- On June 11th of the same year he had sold an acre and a half to John Ricketson together with the "free right and Privilege of running a small dam andopening a small ditch of from one to two rods in length on the land stillowned by Ebenezer Carpenter in possession of Rufus Carpenter for the purpose of supplying his tannery with an additional supply of water". It seems likely that this refers to the small stream that today runs downthe hill and under the bridge on Gale Hill Road. I also have a copy ofthis deed. It is difficult to identify the boundaries in these old deedsbecause usually they are marked by an "old pine stump" a "butternut bush"or some such object. I have the strong feeling it would be difficult tolocate that butternut bush today. Apparently Ricketson soon needed stillmore land because on September 27, 1827 Rufus and his wife Tirza sold himthe 24 acres they had obtained from Ebenezer only two years before. WhenRufus died in 1842 he left his widow, the former Tirza Cowles, to operatethe farm and care for his children. Fortunately, by this time his sonEbenezer, who of course was named for his grand- father, was 21 years ofage and able to bear most of the burden. A little laterjohn, born in1823, and Willard, three years younger, were able to help shoulder thefinancial burdens. By 185o both were "pedlars" according to the Census ofthat year. In the i 9th Century this was an honorable and reasonablylucrative occupation in the rural areas. In modem terminology they wouldbe route salesmen. A sister, So- phronia, born in 1829, completed thehousehold. Doubtless the sev- eral other daughters had married and lefthome by 1850- The four named above were all single in 1850, buteventually all married. Mother, Tirza, moved in with John and his wife,Amelia, and lived to the ripe old age of 89. She died on April 1, 1876and is buried in the New Britain Cemetery. this time his son Ebenezer,who of course was named for his grand- father, was 21 years ofage andable to bear most of the burden.

2067. Calvin Carpenter

Number 1255 on page 186 in the Carpenter Memorial.
Family on page 312 (# 404).

Ebenezer's next son was Calvin, born May 9, 1782. He was the only one ofEbenezer's ten children to gain the "immortality" of being included inAmos B. Carpenter's Memorial. By the time his parents moved to NewBritain from Tyringham he was old enough to help his father on the farm,but in 1806 he married Lydia Wadsworth and established his own household.This couple had at least seven children and some of their descendantslive in the area today. One is the highly regarded Raymond Carpenter, therecently retired Manager of the State Bank of Albany's Branch in ChathamNew York. The Wadsworth family has been distinguished in New Lebanon for200 years. A roadside marker in New Britain pays tribute to -the firstWadsworth settler. We have had pleasant meetings with two mem- bers ofthefamily, Vincent Wadsworth and Mrs. George DeBell, who still live inlittle New Britain. Although Mrs. DeBell lived in New York City for muchof her life, the family always maintained a home on the originalWadsworth property where she now lives. A Wadsworth ancestor gave theland for the Christian Church, which served the community for manydecades beginning in the 1830's, but was demolished many years ago.However, the cemetery near the church is well maintained under thesupervision of Roland Carpenter, an- other ofCalvin's descendants, and isstill in use today. n the absence of marriage records it was toodifficult to follow the lives of all of Calvin's five daughters and Ihave not attempted to do so.iThe boys were Anson S., Alonzo M. and John.John died as a boy, July 5, 182-5, but Anson_and Alonzo lived long anddistinguished lives. Alonzo, born in 1806, married Miranda 0. Smith andlived in East Chatham near the ancestral home. Anson remained on thefamily farm. He was a successful farmer, prominent in the community. In1863 he came to the aid of my great grandmother, Jedidah, in a mannerdescribed later in the book. Ebenezer's next son was Calvin, born May 9,1782. He was the only one of Ebenezer's ten children to gain the"immortality" of being included in Amos B. Carpenter's Memorial. By thetime his parents moved to New Britain from Tyringham he was old enough tohelp his father on the farm, but in 18gk he m@jrded Lydia Wadsworth andestablished his own household. This couple had at least seven chil- drenand some of their descendants live in the area today. One is the highlyregarded Raymond Carpenter, the recently retired Manager of the StateBank of Albany's Branch in Chatham New York. The Wadsworth family hasbeen distinguished in New Lebanon for 200 years. A roadside marker in NewBritain pays tribute to -the first Wadsworth settler.

2072. Robert G. Carpenter

Finally Robert G. Carpenter made his appearance on July 22, 1793..He lived into his eighties, but had his share of sorrow. His first marnage was to Vashti Wheelock another indication that the ties to  Tyringham andthe Wheelocks had not been severed. Vashti was the daughter of SamuelWheelock, Jr., and thus Robert's first cousin, and as seven Years hissenior. While searching deeds in Pittsfield, we found the record of asale of land in Tyringham, by Vashti and Robert Carpenter, to LutherWheelock. This sale was of property Vashti had inherited from her father,Samuel Wheelock Jr. .Two years later  Azubah Wheelock sells her potionof the inherited land to her brother Luther Wheelock. Vashti died onSeptember 5,1840, and laid to rest in the little New Britton Cemetery ashort distance  from her home, leaving two sons and a daughter. One ofthe sons, Samuel E. Carpenter, who died in his forties, was buried a few graves away. Robert's next wife was named Cynthia and was about ten yearshis junior. Probably she was a widow, because in 1850, a boy of thirteen,named Joseph Smith, was living with the Carpenters, and I suspect that hewas Cynthia's son by a previous marriage. Cynthia, too, was called onNovember 29, 1857, and joined Vashti in the New Britain Cemetery. Nothingdaunted, Robert tried again, this time to Elmira, who was seventeen yearsyounger than he. At last he appears to have found a wife to survive him,as neither he nor Elmira is buried in the New Britain Cemetery. One canassume that he was buried elsewhere, in the plot of Elmira's family.Robert's farm was located on what is now Gale Hill Road, next to Calvin'shome and a short distance from Rufus'place. Robert's house is no longerstanding. Robert found room for others in his home as well as in hisheart. After having brought up his own children and also Cynthia's, fromher previous marriage, he adopted little Elizabeth. Sadness came again onJuly 24, 1856 when Elizabeth died at two years of age, and she is honoredwith her own little stone in the Cemetery. In 1863 he again stepped intothe breach and took his sick and mentally dis- traught brother, Horatio,into his home, and helped care for him until Horatio's death in 1867.With it all Robert lived long. I don't know the date of his death, but--,he was alive in 1875 at 82 years of age.    Robert's next wife wasnamed Cynthia and was about ten years his junior. Probably she was awidow, because in 1850, a boy of thirteen, named Joseph Smith, was livingwith the Carpenters, and I suspect that he was Cynthia's son by aprevious marriage. Cynthia, too, was called on November 29, 1857, andjoined Vashti in the New Britain Cemetery. Nothing daunted, Robert triedagain, this time to Elmira, who was seventeen years younger than he. Atlast he appears to have found a wife to survive him, as neither he norElmira is buried in the New Britain Cemetery. One can assume that he wasburied elsewhere, in the plot of Elmira's family. Robert's farm waslocated on what is now Gale Hill Road, next to Calvin's home and a shortdistance from Rufus'place. Robert's house is no longer standing. Robertfound room for others in his home as well as in his heart. After havingbrought up his own children and also Cynthia's, from her previousmarriage, he adopted little Elizabeth. Sadness came again on July 24,1856 when Elizabeth died at two years of age, and she is honored with herown little stone in the Cemetery. In 1863 he again stepped into thebreach and took his sick and mentally distraught brother, Horatio, intohis home, and helped care for him until Horatio's death in 1867. With itall Robert lived long. I don't know the date of his death, but ---,he wasalive in 1875 at 82 years of age. All previous accounts including the "Carpenter Memorial " say  only that Ebenezer's second marriage was to a"Duval". Actually, his second wife was Martha Devol of Chatham, New York,the daughter ofJoshua Devol. I found a deed dated December 20, 1828, inwhich Ebenezer and Martha and her brothers, David and William Devol, soldfor $8oo.oo the Chatham farm which they had inherited from her father. Bythis time Ebenezer was 77 years of age. Presumably Martha was muchyounger, as apparently her father was only re- cently deceased.Ebenezer's long and eventful life ended on April 12, 183o. He had livedmany years in each of three states, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and NewYork; and he had been a man of substance and integrity in each. I amconvinced that he served his country in war time although, as yet, I havebeen unable to prove this. Assuredly, he helped to develop the buddingsettlements of Tyringham and New Lebanon, just as had his forefathers inRehoboth and Coventry. That Tyring- ham and New Lebanon did not continueto prosper in the 19th Cen- tury to the extent attained by othersettlements, was through no fault of their inhabitants. The hilly androcky farms could not compete with the lush farmland in the middle west.While other New England towns to the East converted to a manufacturingeconomy, Tyringham and New Lebanon lacked sufficient water-power to makethis change. All during the 19th Century their energetic farmerscontinued to have modest success, but for many years now most of the oncecarefully cultivated fields have lain idle, or worse yet, have grown upto trees and brush. This greatly saddened my mother and father when, intheir later years, they visited the scenes of their youth. Today, bothcommunities have enjoyed a resurgence, not to farming or industry, but ashavens of retreat for well-to-do summer residents or retired people. Manyof the old farms have been restored to lovely homes. This has always beena scenic area of low rolling hills and beautiful valleys. No majorhighways mar the view or blot out the soft sounds of the countryside. Themajority of the fine old barns have disappeared, but they have beenreplaced by well-kept lawns, tennis-courts and swimming-pools. only thatEbenezer's second marriage was to a "Duval".
