Subject: Greenwood Carpenter JR
...
The story of the illegitimate Greenwood Jr. and his slave mother Elizabeth seemed plausible. Who was she , however and how could we find out if, as it appears ,the birth had been omitted from town records?After a internet search of by HSCC ( Historic Society of Cheshire County) staff solved the mystery. Although The Swanzey vital records did not contained the birth , the town clerk had recorded it is his record book, and the LDS church had made those records available online. On May 10 ,1763 Greenwood Jr was born in Swanzey ,N. H. to Greenwood Carpenter and Elizabeth Negus. From Monthly Newsletter of the Historic Society of Cheshire County NH
The primary mystery was solved, But what became of Elizabeth and what was the effect on Greenwood's father Rev. Ezra Carpenter? We do know Ezra asked to be dismissed from his pastorate
in 1764 ,one yr after the birth of Greenwood Jr. The church council accepted the resignation, and the council meeting is still remembered today for another occurrence on that June day. A hurricane struck the town that night as the members left the meeting house. The building was lifted from its foundation, turned one quarter around and badly damaged a church members horse was killed also. We may never know if any people present thought this was a sign from God.
Greenwood succeeded his father in the Carpenter Homestead in Swanzey Center. He farmed the land with his family until his death in 1809. The family retained the homestead for many generations until the death of Greenwood’s great grandsons wife Lucy died in 1928 the Homestead was later converted to a home for the aged.

Greenwood Jr was not listed on the Greenwood Carpenter Sr.’s family tree…and was born between Greenwood Sr.’s first and second marriage. He was born to Greenwood Sr. and a negro woman named Elizabeth who signed the record with an X. The recorder verified her identity. When Ron found the record in August of this year during a trip to Cheshire County, New Hampshire, the officials at the County Court House in Keene NH told him we were lucky the birth was recorded…that it probably only was recorded because it was a son born to a white man…if it had been a daughter born in a mixed race relationship, it probably would not have been recorded. Ron obtained copies of letters…one written by Greenwood Sr to Greenwood Jr when his half-sister Olive died…and the second letter written by Greenwood Jr to his uncle (whom he seemed to be close to) sometime after his father’s death.
Both Greenwood’s served in the Revolutionary War and both applied for and received pensions from the Revolutionary War when they were older men.
...
MARRIAGE: Was he married twice to Hannah Bishop? Once about August 1780 when he was about 18 and she about 15? AND ... in 1787? Or did he marry two sisters or ... or ...
(The following from the email below)
An issue for us to determine further is that Bishop Carpenter was born to Hannah Bishop and Greenwood Carpenter Jr in 1781 and yet they were not married until 1787. So, was Bishop, Greenwood Jr.’s son or not? Hannah was 15 at the time of Bishop’s birth and I have traced her father’s name to Calvin Bishop.

Subject: RE: inquiring & replying about Carpenter Cousins Y-DNA Project
I am so excited to find out this information. I have a feeling that Betsy is a full sister to Greenwood Jr…but that’s pure speculation. Maybe we can find out more on another trip to NH. I am lucky my cousin Ron loves to travel and does so often. He’s been very interested and very helpful about doing genealogy research on both sides of the family tree. Greenwood Jr and Hannah had three sons…Bishop, Porter and Sylvester. Sylvester was killed in his mid-twenties by “the falling of a tree.” On an earlier trip to New York, Ron found Sylvester’s grave…I have a photo at home. Ron said his grave was all alone about 300 yards from the rest of the graves in the cemetery. We didn’t know why the grave was so isolated, but if he was a mixed race young man maybe that was the reason his grave was isolated. Bishop named his next born son Sylvester also…so that presented a challenge in research we did earlier, but we straightened it all out. I don’t believe that Bishop’s brother Sylvester had been married or had children…at least I’ve found no record of that.
Porter and Sylvester were born after Hannah Bishop and Greenwood Jr were married in 1787, but Bishop was born in 1781…during the Revolutionary War.
Hannah later had a second husband and had 5 or 6 children by him. He died two years after the last child was born. Hannah did request and receive a widow’s pension from Greenwood Jr’s service in the Revolutionary War. She claimed the pension as Hannah Carpenter…so I don’t know if she married this Perkins man or not…I have the details at home and will check names and birthdates of this man and her offspring with him.
Porter immigrated to Michigan about the time that Bishop immigrated to Illinois. Hannah must gone to live with him…or near him…as an older woman…she is buried in Michigan…I have to check the county name…as Hannah Carpenter. Ron found that information in 2009, but had his vehicle broken into and items stolen while he was in a restaurant in the town. He lost some of the paperwork he’d obtained on that trip, but had given me details enough that I was able to find some records online. TIME: Partial timeline showing Greenwood Jr.s part in his father's timeline.

John,
That Greenwood Carpenter Jr.'s mother, Elizabeth Negus, had a surname immediately casts doubt on her having been a slave. Moreover, the state index card pertaining to Greenwood's birth (10 May 1763; apparently derived from Swanzey, N.H., Vital Records Volume C [on FHL film #15,328]) indicates that Elizabeth was white, as was her son (see ). The index card's inclusion of this information--probably not in the original record--suggests that the town clerk who transcribed the original and forwarded it to Concord in 1905 assumed (properly) that if Elizabeth had NOT been white, the record WOULD have said so.
I can think of three reasons to conclude that Elizabeth Negus was perhaps Greenwood Sr.'s common-law wife but more likely someone with whom he had an adulterous relationship (the index card calls her a "housewife"): First, he didn't initiate divorce proceedings against his first wife, Sarah Leathers, until eight years after Greenwood Jr.'s birth. Second, Sarah is said in Greenwood Sr.'s divorce petition to have "run off" in 1763. That this is also the year of Greenwood Jr.'s birth suggests that that event (or the pregnancy leading to it) may well have provoked Sarah's departure. And third, New England birth records of this period virtually never include the mother's surname unless it differed from that of the father when their child was born.
It remains to be determined whether Elizabeth was a Negus by birth or marriage.

> Greenwood Jr. apparently married a woman by the name of Hannah and moved to Albany, N.Y. Where he applied for a pension for his service in the Revolutionary War. He may have died in 1828 when his pension was discontinued. It was later reinstated to his widow Hannah who received government payments for many years.
In 1790, there was a Greenwood Carpenter (Sr.?) in Swanzey, Cheshire Co., New Hampshire, and another (Jr.?) at Stillwater, then in Albany Co., New York. This, curiously, is the only census in which the name appears. Revolutionary War pensioner Greenwood Carpenter (file no. W6630), a common laborer in reduced circumstances, was first granted a pension in 1818. when he was living at or near Williamsport, Lycoming Co., Pennsylvania. By the time he refiled in 1820, he had moved to Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne Co., Pa. He claimed to have enlisted at Swanzey in 1775 for a year and in 1776 for three years. His widow, whom he had married in Swanzey on 15 March 1787, was the former Hannah Bishop. A deposition of Hannah (Bishop) (Carpenter) Schenck's dated in 1842 indicates that she was then residing in Hannibal, Oswego Co., N.Y.; that her husband, Greenwood Carpenter, had first enlisted in 1775 at about age 16; and that he died in Aurelius, Cayuga Co., New York, on or about 10 October 1832 (elsewhere she says middle of October 1831). Hannah received a widow's pension at Lysander, Onondaga Co., N.Y., c1836-c1842; Hannibal, N.Y., 1842-1847; and Adrian and/or Madison, Lenawee Co., Michigan, 1847-1851 or later.
There appear to be major conflicts here, however: Greenwood Carpenter's May 1818 deposition gives his age as 61, and his August 1820 application has him as 64. This would put his birth date at between May and August 1756. If he had been about 16 in 1775 (as per his widow's deposition), his birth year would have been about 1759. Neither of these matches up well with Greenwood Carpenter Sr.'s namesake son's birth date, recorded as 10 May 1763. If the pensioner had been born on the latter date, he would have been no more than 12 when he first enlisted.
In an 1850 deposition, however, Hannah dates Greenwood's first enlistment as on or about 12 July 1779, which date is confirmed by a Swanzey town record indicating that, in return for his three-year enlistment, Greenwood Carpenter "Jr." was to receive £66 10s. from the town (Benjamin Read, The History of Swanzey, New Hampshire, from 1734 to 1890 [Salem, Mass., 1892], 114). This matches the aforementioned description of Greenwood as having been about 16 at his first enlistment and leaves little question that, despite the file's inaccuracies, the pensioner in question was Greenwood Sr.'s son.

THE Whitcomb family is one of the most notable in the history of southwestern
New Hampshire, has figured conspicuously in the civil and military history of the
state, and has been especially prominent in the old town of Swanzey. A worthy
representative of this family is Lucy J. Whitcomb Carpenter, daughter of Col.

Here is a history of The carpenter Homestead in Swanzey, NH.
The Carpenter Homestead in Swanzey, N.H.
The Carpenter Home begins in bat 1753 when Rev Ezra Carpenter comes to Keene at Swanzey, NH to preach from Hull, Mass. After preaching there for a number of years. He gets property in Swanzey on Signal Hill. He was a good farmer and community minded person. He resigned as a preacher due to advancing age in 1756. His wife dies one year later in Mar 1766. He is quite overwhelmed with grief. His son Greenwood moved to the homestead in 1756 with his children to assist with the farm
Ezra moved in with his daughter in Walpole, NH and her family where he later died in 1785. Ezra had willed his estate to his son in 1755 with 182 acres.
Greenwood manages the farm for years till his death in Feb 1809 His wife and son Elijah take over till Greenwood's wife dies in Feb 1826. Then it is willed to Elijah till he dies in Oct 1861. His wife Fanny passes away Mar 1875 .
The Property goes to their son George Carpenter and his wife Lucy Whitcomb Carpenter,after George passes away in December ,1915. Lucy Passes away in June 1928,they have no children. Lucy makes her will out in March of 1916, leaving various sums to caretakers and friends. The estate to be auctioned off except the homestead and surrounding property. The Homestead she wills to the town.
From Lucy's will “ All the rest of my estate real and personal I give bequeath to the Town of Swanzey for the following purpose. The homestead of my late husband George Carpenter and myself, shall be kept practically,as the same form as it was constructed,as the same left by my late husband or as same may be,at my decease.
It is to be used as as a home for the poor and unfortunate residents of the town.
All native persons of said town,who maybe reasons of old age,sickness ,or other misfortune,have been rendered incapable of caring for themselves,may find a home here.
All real estate outside the home at proper time be disposed of. The income will be invested and used to pay expense of the home.
At the time of of the appraisal shortly after her passing was $ 21,618.61 including cash on hand , savings and real estate of 190 acres. Lucy was very active in affairs of the town including the Grange, and the Mt Ceaser Library association. George had bought the old seminary building across the road and gave it to the Library association for the purpose of having a library. In 1830 the town accepted the home and started The Carpenter Home . Which is now a fifthteen bed assisted living home, and trustees were voted for the responsibility of the affairs of the home. The homestead has been in the Carpenter family for 175 years

Elijah Preston Carpenter
Does the following pertain to this Elijah?
The Dartmouth College Library bought the Papers of Judge Frederick Vose from
Charles Apfelbaum, Rare Books and Collections, Valley Stream, New York, in
1987. A fine selection of records from early (1825-ca. 1855) Cheshire County,
New Hampshire courts, this collection will provide researchers with a rare
glimpse of the legal and economic problems faced by New Hampshire residents
during the mid-1800s. Although the majority of the suits were brought for
non-payment of debts, there are also cases concerning theft, assault and battery,
breach of promise, divorce, arson, and the settlement of estates.

John R. Carpenter
Number 1297 in the Carpenter Memorial. Family on page 319 (#419).
NAME:
Many have assume the middle initial of r. is for Randall, the mother's maiden name - no proof given.
LETTER:
Lee N. Price
1445 Bryant St.
Palo Alto, CA 94301
April 28, 2002
Perryville Inn
157 Perryville Road
Rehoboth, MA 02769
Dear Tom and Betsy Charnecki:
Although we just met last week, I very much enjoyed my evening at the Perryville Inn and appreciate your help in pointing out the Goff Hall and Carpenter Museum. I spent so much time in the Trim Room that I missed my plane in Boston but unfortunately the Museum was closed by the time I stopped by. I know that Tom is connected with the Rehoboth Antiquarian Society and thus hope that he can pass the following corrections and additions to the Carpenter Encyclopedia 2001 CD Project on to John R. Carpenter or whomever is following up on this endeavor. Neither the printed copy that I reviewed in the library nor the librarian was able to point me in the proper direction for making changes.
...
Questions:
In addition to supplying the above information, I would like to request your assistance in attempting to determine a few missing pieces of Carpenter genealogy.
(1) Where was John R. Carpenter born and when and where did he die? We have the date of birth 10 Oct 1780 from both your project and the original Amos B. Carpenter genealogy, as well as a Taber Genealogy which lists him as the spouse of Sally Taber, married 26 Oct 1802. The marriage is documented in VRRI 7:482, performed by Stephen Gano at the First Baptist Church in Providence. However, I have not been able to substantiate his birth or death.
(2) Where and when was his wife, Sally Taber, born and where and when did she die? Again, we have the marriage documented, as well as her ancestry all the way back to 1635, but no specific information on her birth and death. She and her older brother, Joseph, are both mentioned in a Deed Release (Portsmouth, v 10:33) which I was able to copy from the Rhode Island State Archives last week. It confirms Sally and John Randall Carpenter's marriage and Penelope Howland Gladding to be her mother (she was married to Jonathan Taber and married Jonathan Gladding after Taber's death).
(3) Not as related to the Carpenter Project, I have been unable to "prove" the immigration of Caleb and Grace Nanscawen and their sons, John H. and Joshua on 4 July, 1819 (John was age 7 at the time). Passenger lists appear to have been stopped or lost during this period, shortly after the British War of 1812. Would you know of any other source of immigration information to RI or Massachusetts? The family must have lived somewhere in the US for about 19 years before Lydia and Mary Carpenter had their double wedding ceremony.
Because Penelope Howland was the daughter of Joseph Howland and links directly back to John Howland of the Mayflower, this connection between Penelope and Sally Taber, Sally and John R. Carpenter, and both to Lydia Carpenter and John H. Nanscawen are critical to my application to the Society of Mayflower Descendants. I would appreciate any help you can supply and would be happy to answer any questions regarding the information in the attached files. Please let me know if you are unable to open or print the attached files, as I could certainly mail hard copies.
Sincerely,
Lee N. Price, PhD

Corrections:
(3) There is a similar misspelling on p. 276 regarding the husband of Mary Carpenter, person #2102. Although I have no more details about Mary's birth or death, she married John's brother Joshua Nanscawen (not Nanschaun) on the same date (double wedding). 24 Dec 1838
