Notes


3136. Henry Carpenter

Number 139 in the book "The Carpenter Family in America" by Daniel H. Carpenter, 1901.
He married and had six children, one of whom was Robert who was living in 1848
at Fitchville, Huron county, Ohio.  Robert stated that at that time there was
37 grandchildren of Henry, but fails to give any further information.  He also
said there are none of his family living near him.

Dear John,
What a thrill to get this information from you!  Thank you so much.  I can't
handle GEDCOM, but would love to have any further information you could send
me.  If necessary, I will send you my postal address.
Can you tell me how I could obtain the Daniel H. Carpenter book, or the
Carpenter Historical Journal?  Both sound like something I would love to be
able to reference.
The information below is what I have on Henry Carpenter on down.  Obviously,
some lines are more complete than others.  The DeGarmo information is well
documented.  The Sutton information...I am trying to get documented.  The
Sutton/Carpenter link is quite new to me, and was sent by Gil Leach, a
Stoughtenburg/Ring researcher who had it in his family records.  He had dates
only.  His email address is:  gilbleach@aol.com
He has been a gem in terms of sharing his knowledge.  He would probably love to
hear from you, as well.  I will send him a copy of what you sent to me.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you again (so very much!),
Stefani Evans

West Farms now the 23rd Ward of NYC.

http://www.rootsweb.com/~nywestch/towns/westfarm.htm
History
West Farms was a town originally located in Westchester County, until 1873 when it was annexed by New York city. In 1898 it was incorporated into The Bronx County which is one of the New York City counties/buroughs. When looking for vital records for the town of Westchester, you will need to check both counties, as well as the records located at the NYC Municipal Arhives. See also the Eastchester Historical Society.

Boundaries: "The patent for West Farms was granted to John Richardson and Edward Jessup April 25, 1666. 'Bounded east by the river called by the Indians Aquehung, otherwise Bronks river, westerly by a little brook called by the Indians Sackwrahung, and southward to the Sound at East river, including a certain neck called Quinahung.' Edward Jessup had a daughter Elizabeth, who married Thomas Hunt, and his part came into their possession. The whole was divided in 1669. Thomas Hunt having the part still known as 'Hunt's Point.'"

REPLY
Hello Jan & Nancy,
I am sorry for the delay in replying.  I wanted to check some things out before answering.  I did not get the answer I was looking for however.
In the 1700s, formal adoptions were fairly rare.  Legal adoption was mainly used to help designate property or title from a step parent or guardian to the adoptive child or heir.  Overwhelmingly adoptions were for males and many were in their teens or older.
How important were "heirs?" The Magna Carta stresses "our heirs for ever" over and over.  These "heirs" were designated either by their own loins or by that of others.  Just reviewing the Magna Carta and doing a key word search will show you how important this was.  See the following web page.
http://eawc.evansville.edu/anthology/magnacarta.htm
It was not until the beginning of the Industrial Revolution that more formal and legal protections were afforded to illegitamate and orphan children. Massachusetts lead the American states in 1851 in standardizing laws for adoption.  England didn't do this until 1921. See the following web page for related information.
http://www.findarticles.com/cf_dls/g2699/0003/2699000361/p1/article.jhtml
While some form of adoption has been around for thousands of years to provide for lost, orphan and such children. Many of the noble or great or not-so-great have been adopted.  The Babylonian King Hammurabi with his written Code of Hammurabi is the earliest to survive intact with clear definitions of adoption. The following web page has details.  I will provide extracts in the following paragraphs.
http://adoption.about.com/library/weekly/aa090699.htm?iam=excite_1&terms=heirs+adopt
"Adoption was very common during the ancient/classical periods, and generally involved adults - to carry on a dynasty, occupation, or family name; to care for a parent in old age, or to protect property rights."
"Perhaps the first well-known reference to adoption (or what we presume to be adoption) is the story of Moses who, as recorded in the Old Testament [Exodus 2:5-10], was adopted by Pharaoh's daughter in the 13th century BC."
"And of course, no adoption story would be complete without mention of Jesus Christ who was adopted by Joseph the Carpenter. According to practices of the times,when Joseph married Mary, he accepted Jesus as his own, which would carry the same legal weight as a modern-day adoption."
"Charles Dickens' 1838 classic wasn't far off the mark. In England, adoption existed, but without standard legal statutes. Other options for orphans, abandoned, and destitute children were workhouses, children's homes, orphanages, and kinship care.
During the time period 1597-1866, it was common for children who had been convicted of crimes to be deported to America or Australia together with adult criminals. And Child Migrants were sent from Britain and Ireland to the colonies as early as 1618. These children, generally between the ages of 5 and 12, were taken from children's homes and orphanages with the express purpose of culturally swamping "the native peoples by increasing the white population." They were often institutionalized or indentured when they arrived, and were notoriously ill-treated."
There is many interesting aspects of adoption.  I suggest the following web page for more fascinating reading on the subject.
http://adoption.about.com/cs/historyarticles/index.htm
Now back to the 1700s.
English common law had no codes for adoption. It did for property.  For all intents and purposes, people often became property.  You could be fined or held liable under the "common law" for your property causing problems.  Women were considered property of their husbands.
If you took in a widow, you were responsible for her children.  If you took an apprentice (a young child most often), you were responsible for them.  The same concept was extended to property, slaves and other indentured children (or adults). Older children often kept their birth surnames.  The younger children sometimes were known by both their biological and adoptive surnames.
You could change your name very easily in those times.  All you had to do was move to an area where they did not know you and state your version of your name. That was then accepted there.
Elizabeth Townsend-27564 married Lewis Carpenter-22625 on 27 Aug 1775 at St. George's, Church, Hempstead, NY.
On 7 Oct 1786 at the 1st Presbyterian, Church, New York City, NY she married Robert Little later of Horse-Heads, Chemung, NY but noted as of Orange county, NY at that time.
Eleven years had past from her first marriage to her second.  The Townsend Memorial says she had three children, all males, during this 11 year time period.
Daniel H. Carpenter who compiled the 1901 "Carpenter Family in America" book states that (page 135 notes) that a Mr. William T. Carpenter of Horse-Heads, Chemung, NY wrote in a letter dated November 1893 that his grandfather was Lewis Carpenter (the one who married Elizabeth Townsend-27564) and that his widowed grandmother married Robert Little.
An earlier letter, dated February 1, 1893 from the same person, indicates that Elizabeth Townsend who married Lewis Carpenter had 3 males and 3 female children.  See page 134.
To Daniel H. Carpenter's credit he provides the conflicting data.  In my CE CD 2001, I do the same. See the attached jpg pictures of his book.
That Robert Little raised his stepchildren seems highly probable.  The 3 male sons of Lewis Carpenter went with Lewis Little to the town of Horse-Heads.  There they stayed for many years before they began to go different ways.
If Elizabeth Townsend had a child every 2.5 years in her first marriage she would have had about 4 children. Every 2.0 years she would have had 5 1/2 children.
With the information I have, Robert Little was 35 or so when he married the widow.  This was probably his second marriage?  Who were the children of his first marriage? Is there duplicate names? The widow may have been slightly older and probably still able to bear a few more children.
Question: Phebe Little or Phebe Carpenter?  If the 10 Feb 1789 is birth date for the Phebe who married Nathaniel Wright, then we have the answer.  If the 10 Feb 1789 date is when she and others were accepted into a Church, then we need to look some for more supporting data.
I hope my long winded excursion with a basic history into adoption was interesting.  The reality is that we may never know on some of our ancestors who was and was not adopted informally.  At least with Phebe we have a date and a mild debate!

I also have a daguerretype of Phebe with a handwritten note inserted into the frame saying,"Mother's mother.Phoebe Wright,born May 5,1789,JCH. JCH was my greatgrandfather ,John Clinton Hauptman.
At any rate,I think this information is as reliable as any that other researchers have included in their books.The Hauptman family lived in the New Hempstead area of Rockland County,NY.

Dear Nancy,
Thanks for the copy of the letters.
You wrote: "I think this information is as reliable as any that other researchers have included in their books."
I disagree.  You seem to have better information (dates for example) and an excellent source (letter).
I wrote:  "If the 10 Feb 1789 is birth date for the Phebe who married Nathaniel Wright, then we have the answer."
Please remember that Daniel H. Carpenter provided conflicting information on Phebe.  The further information you have provided, if the 10 Feb 1789 is the birth date, to have settled the matter.
Any chance I can get a scanned copy of the daguerretype of Phebe?

3143. Thomas Carpenter Jr.

Number 146 in the book "The Carpenter Family in America" by Daniel H.
Carpenter, 1901.  Family on page 135 & 136.

BIRTH: The book above lists him probably born near Huntington or Smithtown on Long Island in 1757.
Mr. Carpenter was a very prominent man in religious circles and also
politically.  He was for many years a member of the John Street Methodist
Church and of the Sands Street Church in Brooklyn.  He was Alderman of the
second ward, New York City, a member of Assembly, warden of the port, et
cetera.  He also was largely known as a wholesale grocer, doing business in
Water Street and Fulton Street.  Thomas Carpenter and Leffert Lefferts, owners of the brigatine Susan and Polly, petition Congress for commission of duties et cetera.  Petition granted.  Per Journal of Representatives, 1794, p. 103.
WILL: The will of Thomas Carpenter is an unusual one, very short and to
the point: gives estate to his wife, son Charles, daughter Sarah Russell, and
to William Carpenter's Family.  Names Abigail Fowler, and gives his camblet
cloak to Charles Fowler, provides payment to William Dando, Dr. Phoebus and
Abigail Fowler.  Will dated 30 Sept. 1824 and proved 30 April 1825.
Per New York Wills, vol. 59, p. 311.
DEATH: He was buried by the side of his first wife in the grounds adjoining
the Sands Street Church in Brooklyn.  On the sale of this church in 1888, to
the Brooklyn Bridge, the remains were reinterred in the plot of Mark Fowler,
Greenwood Cemetery.  In Wakely's "Lost Chapters of Methodism" may be found an exceedingly interesting account of Thomas Carpenter.

E-MAIL: Mon, 21 Aug 2000
Dear John,
Thank you for the references. However, the plot thickens! From the CD
on Loyalists- the book " Loyalists of the American Revolution, Vol. II,
(Fragments)" Thomas Carpenter is listed as "an Ensign and Adjutant in
General Delancey's 3rd battalion. He went to St. John, New Brunsdwick,
at the peace where he was one of the  grantees of that city. He recieved
half-pay."  However, unlike most of the other men listed, it does not
say where he came from.
Last year I received a letter from a person which I can't place right
now ( I conveniently forgot about it until it turned up the other
day)and he said that Thomas Carpenter was from England, etc.  Here may
be the source of his information which I found last night on the
Loyalists CD.
From "Loyalists in the Southern Campaign, Vol. III, Provincial Officers
who served in the south", p. 351 - there is a list of Gen Delancey's 2nd
battalion who were now serving at half- pay. The list includes Ensign
Thomas Carpenter and further down the list, Adjutant Thomas Carpenter.
Although the exact date for this record is not listed, the  next record
is Late Second Battalion, General Delancey's brigade, reduced April 22,
1782.
From the same source, except for the heading which is "British-American
Soldiers in North America" on p. 363, are listed the
British- American officers in Gen. Delancey's 2nd battalion including:
Ensign Thomas Carpenter, born in England, a sergeant in the Guards,
who served 7 years in the Provincial Corps." and on p. 364 is Adjutant
Thomas Carpenter, born in England, an ensign in the regiment."
When they listed the "British-American officers" they included many who
were born in America including many who owned farms, etc. on Long
Island- so they could be considered loyalists but they stated he was
born in England and in looking through the officers of all 3 of Gen.
Delancey's battalion, I didn't notice any who did not have a birthplace
listed.
The letter which I received but cannot find at the moment said his
situation was unique b/c he was a sergeant in an "elite British foot
guard." Apparently, his promotion from NCO to Ensign was uncommon and
only a few NCOs were given this status -  However according to the
source from last year, he did not become a lieut- b/c when he was
mustered out, he was still an ensign and received 1/2 pay and a land
grant. Frankly, I question the military records themselves b/c in some
cases there are 2 of them- an ensign and an adjutant and in other
records, they are one and the same!
There are several Thomas Carpenters who filed for land grants but the
one who meets the criteria was a Lieut. Thomas Carpenter in 1784. The
others were filed at later dates- 1816, etc.
I didn't find many Carpenters from Long Island, if any, who were
loyalists. There was an Aechalus ( sp?) from  Westchester County. Willet
Carpenter interests me b/c according to the Loyalist index,  he settled
in St. John in 1783 and died there at age 77 in 1833. It makes him about
the same age (generation) as Thomas would have been- The name Willet
intrigues me b/c of the fact that Joseph Carpenter m. Mary Willet and
the Thomas that married Anne Stocker had a brother named Willet also. I
have him born in 1736- again too soon to be the one who was a loyalist
but perhaps it was in the next generation which I don't have. Do you
know anything about Willet?
In any event, if the military records I have found to date are correct,
then he was born in England- the only problem I have with that is the
records are unclear as to whether there were 2 or 1 Thomas Carpenter- So
perhaps one was born in England and the other one in Long Island? And
they got them mixed up? Thank you again for your help.
Just keep me in mind if some new information should turn up. I will
probably turn in my research report completed to the best of my ability
at this point- but I am afraid I am not going to be satisfied until I
get to the truth! I am in touch with another direct line of Thomas and
Lucretia's descendants whose information is the same as the genealogy-
in fact, they are sending me a copy of Thomas' picture and they have
already sent me a picture of Thomas and Lucretia's daughter, Lucretia
who was the sister of my ancestor, Elisabeth.  However, they don't sound
too interested in "rocking the boat"! I can't say I blame them!  I will
at least have a picture of him even if I don't know where he came from
or who his parents were!
Thank you again. Annabel Bixby abixby@home.com
If I ever solve this puzzle, I will let you know right away!

REPLY: Dear Annabel,
The listing of an officer on half pay is for Regular Service Officers
and not temporary troops.  You may be on to something.
It would be very hard to be in New Brunswick, Canada and petioning the
US Congress (sucessfully!) circa 1790/1792 from Brooklyn at the same
time.  This leads me to think you may be on to something.
Using 1757 as a base and searching online I came up with a Thomas
Carpenter born in England that had also been in the "Caribbean."

MARRIAGE Cert: Newport Ark to Jesse Carpenter
Marriage Cert: Searcy Ark to Thomas Garrison
Found on the l880; l900; l9l0 census of Arkansas Jackson County
Savannah was spoiled by her father and when she was in her teens was sent to a
young ladies seminary in Huntsville, Alabama. It is interesting that she was
sent to this area, as that is where her Mother family came from to Jackson
County in 1840.  later she returned to Newport and when she was but 17 she
married in Searcy on 7 July 1887 to Thomas Garrison son of the Reverand
Garrison of Newport Methodist church. No doubt she met him while visiting her
sister Nellie in Searcy as Rev. Garrison had been stationed previously in
Searcy.  From family information it is thought that the marriage was frowned
upon by the family, specially Amelia Hamilton Morris and it may have had to do
with their young ages as Tom Garrison was but 18 and was working on the
steamboat on the White River.  He later became a steamboat Captain.  It seemed
everything was done to break up this marriage.  they separated on 15 Sept 1888
and were divorced 17 July 1891.  Tom Garrison and Savannah kept in contact with
one another in later years. They had l daughter Caroline(Dubie) Garrison. It is
said by my Aunt that Savannah always loved Tom and regretted the divorce and
blamed her Mother for the event.
Savannah married 2nd Jesse Lee Carpenter in 1894. he was the son of Thomas
Bridgewater Carpenter and Tabitha Garrett of Independence Co. Ark.  Jesse was
educated and had a good position in merchandising.  He had been a teacher in
Independence Co at one time.  Savannah and Jesse were divorced in 1904 in
Newport, Ark.  Savannah lived with her father in Newport during this time.  It
was said the drinking and gambling of Jesse was to blame.
Savannah was proud of the Morris heritage and her French ancestors and was a
petite and spirited woman.  She played the piano well and I remember her
playing the song " After the Ball if Over" when she was over 80 and playing it
well.  She told many stories of her father and had great affection for him.
She told how the people of Newport called him " Uncle Billy".  Savannah left
Newport and went to Fort Smith about 1914 with Doris and Charles and later
moved to Los Angeles and then to Arizona to be with her daughter Doris in Miami
,AZ. She died 5 May 1953 in Los Angeles and is buried in Los Angeles cemetery.
