Which line is he from?
Most of Henry Carpenter's family settled around Lena, Indiana which is located at the corner of three counties, Parke, Putnam and Clay; therefore, sometimes the family will be in the census of one county one time and in another the next. However, they mostly show up in the Putnam County, Madison Township records.
