MILITARY: General Carpenter's Brigade of Westchester County Militia was
attached to the First Division of Infantry, this division furnished a total
of 2,065 men. 370 soldiers were in Gen. Carpenter's Brigade.
DEATH: "He died at Harrisons in 1819" per the above
record, yet the next line indicates his will "was proved March 13, 1817."
SEE: Westchester Records, book D, p. 392.
During the Revolution he was quartermaster under General Thomas. At the battle
of White Plains, in a skirmish near Harrisons, the British surrounded a house
which sheltered several Americans, including General Thomas and Lt. Thomas
Carpenter. They were all taken prisioner except Lt. Carpenter, who was left
for dead. But by careful nursing he finally recovered and for his bravery was
made captain and then general. The British were led by a Col. Simcoe.

Subject: Re: Carpenter Cousins Y-DNA Project - 143395 and 120641
I have done a little more research. There is another Thomas besides the General.
4th regiment lists Thomas and James as privates (New York in the Rev.) Westchester county page 214, page 266 lists the two under the Land Bounty rights - but this is in the 2nd regiment of Westchester County under General Thomas Carpenter. So they have switched regiments. How does one find those records?
2nd Regiment lists Col. Thomas Thomas and Lieut. Thomas Carpenter ( page 204)
From the Roster of Troops, page 339
There is only one James listed ( private under Crane and Truesdell) 4th regiment
There are three Thomas listed:
1 - Lieut. Under Thomas/ Thomas (Also states ** run through the body with a bayonet at Harrison's Purchase, November 8, 1778. Shoemaker, Harrisons, Westchester Co. C20, I 125 is this a book)
2. Private under Harper/Drake
3. Private under Crane/ Truesdell (4th Regiment)
On the 1790 Census, 1800, 1810, both James and Thomas. For Harrisons, Purchase Township, Westchester County. We know that my James is there.
Elijah Carpenter along with Colvill Carpenter are listed on (page 253) Orange Count Militia 1st regiment (New York in the Rev - Land Bounty Rights)
I also read some things about a Thomas Carpenter in the Purchase Monthly meeting. The son of Joseph. (perhaps older brother to James, son of Benedict) but the Carpenter Book does not list a son named Thomas for Joseph Carpenter s. of Benedict. I need to investigate the dates to see what generation they are discussing. Could this be the Thomas we are looking for? They would be first cousins.

What do I know?
Both James and Thomas show up together in the 4th Reg. and also on all Census data in Westchester County NY, town of Harrison (1790, 1800, 1810) I am not sure who Thomas Carpenter is - but think he is one of James's older brother's sons. He is the only James that is showing up on the census data. They lived in this county and township all their lives. The DAR said that James was such a common name - how do I know this is mine. However they fully agreed with my documentation that James Carpenter, born in 1754 was my gg grandfather. Both James and Thomas are found in the book under pensions and Elijah is also listed both with the 1st regiment and with pensions.

E-MAIL: Sat, 9 Sep 2000 From: "Elizabeth V Brady"
Searching for the ancestry of the NANCY CARPENTER, born before 1763, who
married JOSHUA WHEELER. They had a son ELEPHALET WHEELER who was born in 1780.
I believe this CARPENTER family was from New York, possibly Westchester
County. Betty

I do not have much on the Wheeler line. According to the information in
my file Joshus Wheeler b. Abt 1763 had two brothers named Eliphalet and
Solomon. Joshua Married Nancy Carpenter abt 1770, the daughter of Stephen
and Amy (Field) Carpenter, (Stephen is a direct descendant of William
Carpenter the founder of Providence, RI. as follows Stephen, of Thomas,
of Joseph, of Joseph,of William). I have no record of children for them.
However, approximately a year later Nancy's sister Mary married Joushua's
brother Eliphalet and they had Eliphalet, Andrew, and three unnamed
female children.
My files on this family are in need of work so did not send gedcom, but
I'm sure you will hear from others in the group.

... Regarding your request for information on the descendants of Nancy
Carpenter, here's what I have prior to the generation which takes us into
living individuals, beyond which I've been asked not to go. I'd be happy to
send you any additional documentation which you feel might be of help.
