***********************************
George Cunningham Edwards removed as spouse and reassigned to the Hannah Carpenter b. 21 Jan 1791. The reason is pending proof. See below. JRC Oct 7, 2002.
Dear John,
Thanks for your response. I think the naming conventions bear out the very strong possibility that Hannah was the daughter of Jesse Carpenter and Sarah/Sally Seely and the sister of Clarissa Carpenter. Now for some proof.
Connie
Dear Connie,
When you read the notes, you will find out that Frank Bradner states the his source has confused some of the Carpenters he submitted. I concur. I think this is one of those incidents.
Look at children, places and other similarities. Take a piece of paper and add up the pluses and minuses for each possibility. You will come to a conclusion but not proof.
This is the hard part. The proof. This means going back to the orginal sources and sorting the wheat from the chaff.
Enjoy the hunt!
And let me know what you conclude or prove!

I have been in touch with Frank Bradner quite a bit in the last several days.
I believe that you are suggesting to me that Jesse Carpenter is more likely the father of my Hannah Carpenter than Benjamin Carpenter, and certainly there are some names that make one wonder, not to mention the birth and death date similarities of the 2 Hannahs.
My great grandfather, John Edwards, whose parents are George Cunningham Edwards and Hannah Carpenter has a sister Clarissa Roe Edwards who married James Rowe Dudley. And my great grandfather named his first daughter Clara Dudley Edwards, obviously after the Clarissa and Dudley connection. At the same time, there is a Clarissa Carpenter, daughter of Jesse, who married David Roe.
George Cunningham Edwards and Hannah Carpenter stayed in Bath, Steuben County, New York, to which they had moved by 1823, when Alexander Edwards was born. My great grandfather, John, was also born there, as was his first daughter. I am descended from his 2nd wife, Constance Lucretia Hunter and 2nd daughter, Mary Constance Edwards, my grandmother.
I really don't know what to make of this confusion. Perhaps you can set me straight.

You have a small mystery and conflict of data. Compare the 2 briefs below. Each contains a Hannah Carpenter (*****). Look at the notes.

soldier at Fort Washington on the Hudson River and taken prisoner by the British and taken to NY and put in the old
sugar house prison and kept through the winter; he suffered "extreamely" with the cold and ran up and
down stairs many a night to keep from freezing."

NAME: First name Major or was it his rank?
His father passed away in 1863.
Posted by Sue Goodfellow on Fri, 17 Jul 1998
Major Carpenter, "Pompey, was born in West Monroe, Oswego Co., N.Y., Dec. 7,
1822, a son of Nathaniel and Lucy (Gage) Carpenter, who with five other
brothers, settled in Cazenovia, Madison Co., in 1803. He passed to spirit life
in 1863, aged 86 years, his wife passed to spirit life in 1860, aged 72 years.
The grandparents were Ezekiel and Anna Carpenter of Connecticut. Ezekiel
was one of the first to resist the collection of church tax, it was connected
with the State tax,
at that time, thus beginning the separation of church and state, for it was
decided in his favor. The grandparents on the other's side were Elisha and
Olive(Underwood) Gage. His great-grandmother Underwood died on
the 4th of July, 1776. She had ten children, all of whom had large families;
her blood descendants number about 8,000 at this date. The subject of this
sketch came with his parents to Pompey, N.Y., in 1826; by occupation he is
a farmer and builder, has built six
houses to lease, in the last twenty-four years, in Cazenovia. In 1844 he
married Abigail Babcock, daughter of John W. and Amanda (Canfield) Babcock; he
passed to spirit life in 1875, aged 75 years, she passed to spirit life
in 1872, aged 88 years. Mr. and Mrs. Carpenter celebrated their golden wedding
on Aug. 18, 1894.
They have had seven children, three of which have passed from the mortal, the
other four are as follows: Jerome H., born May 28, 1848, he married Deetta
Brown. They have three children: Ernest, Ella and Major B.; Gilbert,
born Aug. 20, 1852; he married Josephine Lytle, they have one child, Jessie
May; Fannie, born on Oct. 21, 1858. She married Frank B. Taylor, a carriage painter, they have two children, Eva and Bayard; Austin B., born July 31, 1861. He married Anna Fitzgerald, they have two children, Jennie and Blanche. He has been deputy sheriff in Madison Co. for ten years. Mr. and Mrs. Carpenter have been life-long workers for temperance, having never used liquor or tobacco in any form.
He was formerly a Republican, is now a Prohibitionist, is in favor of Woman's Rights, or equal rights for all; is opposed to murder for murder, or capital punishment. He was a Universalist formerly but now believes in spirit communion as a demonstrated fact. Is a worker for all reforms, by the great principle of evolution. Progress by a survival of the fittest."
