Jonathan was of Still Run, Tidewater Virginia Carpenters.DESCENDANTS:
T. L. Carpenter: "Some Descendants of Jonathan Carpenter of Still Run, Spotsylvania Co. VA"Jonathan Carpenter Sr., born c1710-1720, died c1763 in Spotsylvania Co. VA, settled some time before 1750 on Still Run in Spotsylvania Co. VA. A record of his death is provided by the appointment of his widow as administrator of his estate on 7 Nov 1763. He married c1735-1745 to Jane, whose maiden name is not proved. Jonathan Carpenter Sr. and presumably his wife Jane if she was his only wife are believed to have had eight sons, of whom we have placed six: five in VA and one in OH. The "missing" son in VA could be William Carpenter of Loudoun Co. VA, Joseph Carpenter of 1810 Washington Co. VA, Richard Carpenter of 1810 Washington Co. VA, or William Carpenter of Brunswick Co. VA, and it is also possible that one or more of the sons was one of the early Carpenters in southern MD. The placed descendants are:
1. Jonathan Carpenter Jr., born c1742-1747, died 1798, married first c1770 to Susannah Lea, second c1787 to widow Elizabeth (née Montague) Trigg. Children:
1a. Rhoda Carpenter, born 1770, married Thomas Duvall.
1b. John Carpenter, born 20 Mar 1772, married first Polly Duvall, second Frances Norwood.
1c. Zaccheus Carpenter, born 20 Jan 1774, died 3 Jan 1863.
1d. Jesse Carpenter, born c1779, married Susannah Edwards.
1e. Francis Carpenter, born c1774-1797, resided in Fayette Co. KY in 1798.
1f. Nancy Carpenter, born c1774-1797, resided in Fayette Co. KY in 1798.
1g. Jonathan Carpenter III, born c1785 in VA, died c1853 in Platte Co. MO [WMP]. Census and other records indicate these children [TLC]:
1g1. (Son) Carpenter, born c1800-1810 -- possibly Lemuel Carpenter, born c1808 in KY -- his placement here is supported by Y-DNA evidence, but some other evidence conflicts with this placement. Son:
1g1b. José Antonio Carpenter, born c1841 -- he might be MC12's Joseph Antonio Carpenter, born 1837, died c1886 [MC12]; children [MC12]:
1g1b2. Arthur Lewis Carpenter, born 1874, died 1932 in CA [MC12].
1g1b2b. Arthur Lewis Carpenter Jr., born 1904, died 1966 in CA [MC12], father of:
1g1b2b1. FTDNA #66183, born c1932, living in 2008 [MC12] -- his Y-DNA does not support his placement in this family -- he is a genetic distance of 21 from #17908.
1g1b3. Joseph Carpenter, born c1875, possible father of:
1g1b3a. Lemuel J. Carpenter, born 1904, died 1957, father of:
1g1b3a1. Robert L. Carpenter, born c1928, living 2004, father of:
1g1b3a1x. FTDNA #17908 -- his Y-DNA evidence indicates his family belongs genetically to the same group as Jonathan of Still Run, but unfortunately for his fellow descendants, he refuses to correspond about his family history so the above lineage remains speculative and unproved.
1h. James Carpenter, born 13 Aug 1789 in VA, married Elizabeth Anderson.
1i. Elizabeth B. Carpenter, born 31 Jan 1797, died 1859.

In 1792 he was deeded fourteen acres in Frederick Co. VA by Lord Fairfax of Leeds Castle, County of Kent, Kingdom of Great Britain, with the deed naming his sons. He was enumerated in Loudoun Co.
