Ebenezer Carpenter
Same person or the younger Ebenezer born in Cheshire county, NH?
The Dartmouth College Library bought the Papers of Judge Frederick Vose from
Charles Apfelbaum, Rare Books and Collections, Valley Stream, New York, in
1987. A fine selection of records from early (1825-ca. 1855) Cheshire County,
New Hampshire courts, this collection will provide researchers with a rare
glimpse of the legal and economic problems faced by New Hampshire residents
during the mid-1800s. Although the majority of the suits were brought for
non-payment of debts, there are also cases concerning theft, assault and battery,
breach of promise, divorce, arson, and the settlement of estates.

Enoch Carpenter
E-MAIL: Fri, 10 Mar 2000 From: Peg Carpenter
Hi Folks:
Would anyone have any info on the Carpenters from Littleton, NH or just
across the river in Concord, VT? My husband's great grandfather was Luther
Calvin b:2-Nov-1861. Luther's siblings were Mary Jane, Belle, Hod, and
Henrietta. I believe his father to be Enoch b: 1822-1826 in Littleton. Enoch
married a ----Goodale and his parents were Obadiah Carpenter and Nancy Morse
(b:11-May-1791 in Concord). Enoch may have had a sibling named Ebenezer.
Nancy Morse was the daughter of Joseph Wheat Morse and Susanna Bemies. Most
of the lists I'm on aren't as active as this one seems to be. Very nice.
Thanks. Peg.
MORE: 04 Jun 2000 From: Peggy Carpenter
I'm hoping to find connections to anyone else who might be searching for
descendants of Luther (Lute) Calvin Carpenter. He was born to Enoch
Carpenter and Sarah Goodell on November 2, 1861 in Littleton, NH. Enoch
Carpenter died in Concord, VT by the time Luther was 17 at which point
Luther came west to Illinois. He arrived in Aurora by train about 1878
and went by horse and wagon to Montgomery, ILL. Luther met and married
Annette (Nettie) Davis and they had 16 children. Annette was the
daughter of Chester Davis and Sarah Vaughan and was born and raised in
Kendall County, Ill. The Davis' were from New York State. Lute and
Nettie's sixth child, Jesse Ray Carpenter (b:Nov. 1, 1889-Aurora,Ill.),
is the progenitor of our branch. If there is a fellow lister who has
connections to this line, please contact me.
Peg.

William Carpenter
Brimfield St. Cemetery
Brimfield St., Town of Kirkland
The following information was taken from Historical Sketch of the Old Clinton Burying Ground, published by J. B. & H. B. Sykes, 1896, Clinton, New York
Brimfield Street Burying Ground, by R. C. Ellinwood, pg. 25-26
This enclosure contains about seventeen rods. The title to the same is in lease form, dated May 20, 1820, given by Nathan Marsh, of the first part, to Hannaniah Ellinwood, Nathaniel Butler, James Look, Jared Andews, Moses Dickinson, Reuben Ellinwood, Simeon Robbins, John W. Carpenter, William Carpenter, Augustus Carpenter, Eli Ellinwood, Samuel Coe, of Paris, and Charles Babcock of Whitestown, for and in consideration of five dollars, and the sum of two cents annual rental, payable May first, if legally demanded. It is signed by Nathan Marsh, and the witnesses were Jeremiah Matthews and Adolphus Ellinwood.
By the above dates it appears this burial place has been used for interments seventy-six years, and possibly longer. The remains of one soldier of the Revolution honors the enclosure as the guardian of his sleeping neighbors, the roll of whom is as follows:
Carpenter, Augustus died Nov. 21, 1873 age 81 yrs
Carpenter, Capt. John, of the Continental Army, borm at Brimfield, Mass 1739, died in the town of Kirkland 1805
Carpenter, Caroline, wife of Augustus Carpenter, died Oct. 18, 1885 age 87 yrs
Carpenter, John W. died Jan. 27, 1833 age 50 yrs
Carpenter, Sally, wife of John W. Carpenter, died May 24, 1856 age 53 yrs
Carpenter, Sarah, wife of William Carpenter, died Oct. 5, 1835 age 71 yrs
Carpenter, William died April 15, 1816 age 59 yrs
Carpenter, Winthrop, son of John W. Carpenter, died Oct. 30, 1846 age 43 yrs

________________________
Town of Paris (part of which became Kirkland in 1827), Oneida Co., NY census of 1814 lists under Carpenter "John W., Oliver, Wm., and William, Jr."
______________________________
Resided in Kirkland, Oneida Co., N.Y. William Carpenter, was in the service under his father's command, eight months during the siege of Boston, and later for three full years he served in Captain Toogood's company, Col. John Nixon's regiment; as appears from his discharge now in possession of his son William, which is as follows:
This certificate agrees exactly with the public records in the office of the Massachusetts secretary of state, where, also, is found the evidence of his other tour of service. He served also in the year 1776 - though, as mentioned, in the case of his father there is no official record of the service.
During the foregoing certified term of service, he was under Colonel Nixon, who held a brigadier's commission, and was in the battle of Stillwater or Bemis's Heights, and the battle of Saratoga. During this term of three years, he acted in a two-fold-relation-doing duty as a private soldier, and when not on duty, acting as clerk of the regiment.
Having devoted nearly five years of the ardor of youth, and the vigor of manhood, to the service of his country, he retired to the quiet of his own home, having been paid off, at his discharge, in continental money, utterly worthless for any business transaction, and valuable to his descendants only as evidence of the patriotic service and sacrifices of their ancestor. This continental money, to the amount of one hundred dollars, (the rest having been distributed among friends of the family,) is now in possession of his son William. Let us not speak lightly of this currency, for though coarse the paper, and coarser yet the engraving, and though emphatically a "hard currency" for those who were obliged to receive it as cash, it filled a place and sustained a part in the Temple of Independence.
William Carpenter, the subject of this sketch, having completed his term of three years, besides the other periods mentioned in the aggregate about five years - he returned to Brimfield, Mass., his native town, poorer than when he entered the service, except in the satisfying assurance of having stood for his country's freedom in the years of her darkness and peril.
In 1790 he removed to Kirkland, (then a part of Whiteston, and later Paris,) N. Y., to subdue a forest farm as his future home - and here by his talents and practical education, he made himself generally useful to his own and the surrounding neighborhoods, in facilitating the transaction of business, and adjusting differences among neighbors and friends, till the 5th day of April, 1816, when his spirit passed away. (By R. V. Carpenter, Chicago Ill.)

William B. Carpenter
E-MAIL: Wed, 15 Mar 2000 From: "Marcia Buffett"
To: "Ken Warkentine" CC: "John R. Carpenter
Dear Ken:
Remember the William B. Carpenter we found some information about?...I'll
go back and find my notes. Anyway I know at one time he was in Fulton Co.
and then Saratoga Co.. think he was the one we were looking for civil war
info about too.
I found this yesterday. "History of Saratoga":
William P. Carpenter born May 13, 1843 in Glen Falls, Warren Co., was son
of William and Ruth Brown Carpenter. William P. Carpenter was married to
Mary L. Edward of Utica, Sept. 7, 18070. Mr. Carpenters ancestors were of
New York. Father William B. Carpenter born 1802 moved to Glens Falls. Later
William B. Carpenter moved to Sanford's Bridge were he died on Jan 31,
1854. He was a wagon maker.
Do we know the father of William B. Carpenter???
Marcia. (WAS IT THIS WILLIAM B. CARPENTER???)
