CHAPTER LII.
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.
BOROUGH OF JERSEY SHORE, AND PORTER, WATSON, MIFFLIN (INCLUDING SALLADASBURG), AND PIATT TOWNSHIPS.
Newton Carpenter who married a Melinda Gulden (daughter of J. L. GULDIN, miller ...).
JAMES CARPENTER was one of the pioneers of Lycoming county. He was a son of Thomas Carpenter, a native of Nottingham, England, who came to America during the Revolution and served in that war for Independence. Soon after the close of that struggle for liberty, James Carpenter came to the West Branch valley and took up 700 acres of land on what is now the line of Anthony and Woodward townships, Lycoming county, upon which he spent the balance of his life. He never obtained his patent for this land, but it was afterwards obtained by his grandsons, Jesse B. and David J. Carpenter. His children were: William, and Samuel, both of whom removed to Indiana; John; James; Polly, who married John Cohick; and Mary, who married George Bennett, all of whom are dead.
JOHN CARPENTER, third son of James Carpenter, was born on the homestead farm .in this county in 1788. He grow to manhood and cleared up a portion of the land upon which he afterward resided. He married Mary, daughter of John and Elizabeth Campbell, of Northumberland county, Pennsylvania, March 4, 1806. She died August 6, 1847; he Survived her until 1865. Their family consisted of the following children: Elizabeth, deceased wife of Andrew Marshall; David, of Jersey Shore, who was twice married, first to Mary Ware, and afterwards to Rachael Mitcheltree; Priscilla, deceased wife of John Pepperman, deceased; Jesse B.; Nancy, who died in infancy; Susan A., deceased wife of Levi Tate, deceased; Sophia, wife of Jonas Newcome; Mary A., deceased wife of J. L. Rank; John J., of Iowa, who married Mary Marshall; William, who died in infancy, and Rebecca, deceased. In early life Mr. Carpenter was a Whig, and subsequently a Republican.
JESSE B. CARPENTER, second son of John and Mary Carpenter, was born October 10, 1813, in Woodward township, Lycoming county. He was reared upon the old homestead, and received such an education as the common schools of that period afforded. After he grew to manhood he and his brother secured the patent for the tract entered by his grandfather, a portion of which is still owned by members of the family. In 1866 he purchased his present home of 125 acres in Piatt township, where he has since resided. Mr. Carpenter was married May 20, 1847, to Phebe Ann, daughter of Joseph and Hannah Carpenter of Eldred township. Four children are the fruits of this union: Joseph R.; William B., deceased; John W., and Asher M. Mr. Carpenter is one of the leading farmers of his township, and is a trustee and steward of the Methodist Episcopal church of his neighborhood. Throughout his life-long residence in Lycoming county he has been recognized as an industrious and honorable citizen, a man whose character is above reproach, and whose success has been attained by a conscientious performance of duty. He is a kind and charitable neighbor, and ever ready to help the needy and afflicted. Politically, he has always been a stanch Democrat, and is also a firm advocate of the temperance cause. Both he and wife are now spending their declining years in the mutual love and respect of home and family, and in the enjoyment of the comforts which their industrious and economical habits have won.

DESCENDANT PROJECT: "Jesse Carpenter" carpentersoftware@mac.com
Carpenter Family Project
The Carpenter Family Project (CFP) is the genealogical compilation. It is more than a mere list of
individuals sequentially cataloged in numerical order but a record on the history of the family.
The Ancestor
The ancestor, James Carpenter, was the British soldier who came from England during the American
Revolutionary War in the Army of Cornwallis, and soon after the end of the war, he settled north of the
West Branch of the Susquehanna River of Pennsylvania. The Meginness citations and the Y-DNA testing
on living descendants shows that James Carpenter was the direct ancestor of the Carpenter Family.1,2
The Author
Jesse Carpenter is the author of the Project. The time spent on the project has been long, over a decade,
his manuscript constantly recapitulating along with his thoughts, his frustrations, constantly editing its
content and reexamining its relevancy. He lives with a fixed income , yet the project is important enough
to use what little he has to include it on the Carpenter Software website at: carpentersoftware.com.
Roger Carpenter once said, I need to get away from working with dead people. Roger by the way was the
family genealogist who is now retired from genealogy. Like Roger the author too after so many years has a
need to take a break.

COMMENT AND CONCERN:
We have a descendant named Joseph who cites his great grandfather as William Carpenter a Loyalist who fought with Conwallis. This is a stark contrast to this James Carpenter who came to America during the Revolution and served in that war for Independence. Either the genealogy is wrong or the William cited is wrong in the bio. Loyalist or Patriot? DO NOT CONFUSE or make these two people the same person.

CITY OF WILLIAMSPORT AND BOROUGH OF SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT.
JOSEPH R. CARPENTER, of the firm of Carpenter Brothers Manufacturers of emery and corundum wheels, was born in Anthony township, Lycoming county, Pennsylvania, April 4, 1849. He is a son of Jesse B. and Phoebe (Carpenter) Carpenter of Piatt township, Lycoming county, and grandson of John Carpenter, a native of this county, and great-grandson of William Carpenter, who came from England during the Revolutionary war as a soldier in the army of Cornwallis, and subsequently settled in Lycoming county. The subject of this sketch was educated in the schools ,of Anthony township, where his father and grandfather lived, and subsequently took a course at the Montoursville Normal School. He followed agriculture until 1884, .and then engaged in the manufacture of emery wheels at Linden, under the firm name of Stone & Carpenter. At the end of two years Mr. Stone retired, and the present firm of Carpenter Brothers was organized. They moved their plant to Williamsport in 1891, and it is the only firm of the kind in this part of the State. Mr. ,Carpenter was married in 1873 to Emma E., daughter of John McLaughlin of Piatt township, and has three children: Jessie V.; Mack B., and J. Craig.

CHAPTER V.
The second public road of which we have any account, was from John Scudder's place, on the east bank of the river, to the crossing of Muncy creek by the Wyalusing path. This order was made by the court in August, 1773, and Samuel Carpenter, Robert Robb, John Scudder, John Micheltree, John Alward, and James Robb were designated as viewers. As the distance was not very great, it is supposed the road was promptly laid out and built.
