E-MAIL: Wed, 25 Aug 1999. From: Linda Carpenter Fry at Hi John:
Sorry to take so long in getting this information to you. I tried to
download it and send it but couldn't get it through because of the
enriched format. So here goes:
Benjamin Carpenter, b. 1 May 1803, conflict in location--most of my
sources say New York, but one says England. He died 18 Oct. 1866, Black
Earth, Dane County, Wisconsin. He was married in New York (I presume)
to Mary E. Achor. She was born 16 June 1813 in Oppenheim, Fulton
County, New York. She died 10 Sept. 1902 in Black Earth, Dane County,
Wisconsin. Both Benjamin and Mary are buried in Oak Hill Cemetery,
Black Earth, Dane County, Wisconsin. Her parents were Lowrick Achor and
Mary E. Bellenger. I have been unable to find any information on either
of them. I know there were numerous Bellenger/Bellinger families in the
area, but no one seems to have any information on her.

Oneida County, New York. (I have more info on these people and their
children if anyone is interested).
John and Mary had 2 known children:

Wisconsin. He married Sadie Young about Aug. 1901 in Sutherland,
Lancaster County, Nebraska.

Vermont Township, Dane County, Wisconsin, Phebe Ann McWilliams (birth
name) Finlayson (adoptive name). She was born in Grenville, Ontario,
Canada.

through to my 6 month old grand-daughter; if anyone would like further
information, I would be happy to furnish it):

Wisconsin. He married Louisa "Lizzie" Hacker, b. 2 June 1867, Black
Earth, Dane County, Wisconsin.

married 1. Charles Smith of Blue Mounds, Dane County, Wisconsin; 2.
Edward Charlesworth Bardsley.

in Alexandria, Louisiana at the age of 16.

Someone on Ancestry.com recently identified that Nathan (son of my Benjamin) was born December 3, 1790 in Saratoga, New York. I have not been able to confirm the source yet, but I am aware of a possible bible record associated with his family. And the data is consistent with the information I have for him. I am still trying to make contact with the poster.

"HISTORY OF THE CARPENTER FAMILY"
Written by Mrs. Reliance [Carpenter] Butler of Cedar Springs
Real human life is immeasurable, if we will have it so. Every day is a vessel into which a great deal may be poured, if we actually fill it up; that is, with thoughts and feelings and their
expression into deeds as elevated and amiable as we can reach to. Mere lapse of years is not life.
To eat, drink and sleep, to be exposed to the darkness and light, to pace around the mill of habit and turn the wheel of wealth; to make reason our bookkeeper and convert thought into an implement of trade; this is not life.
Timothy Carpenter was born in Cayuga, N.Y. July 25, 1796. His parents were English and
Scotch. He was married October 27, 1822 to Malinda, daughter, of William and Lydia Miller of Orange Co., N.Y. They were Irish and Dutch. William Miller was a revolutionary soldier. He and his wife went over thirty miles on horse-back to get the pension money, she carried the money in a little leather bag tied round her waist under her clothing. Malinda Miller was born August 5, 1805. She was a school-teacher.
Father was a farmer weaver and shoemaker, handy at any thing that came along. They were the parents of twelve children, Exania, born September 13, 1823.
She married Harvey Butler they had five children. Margaret E. born December 3, 1825. Married to William Thompson. Jane L. born December 9, 1827. Married George Butler, they had one child. Married Mudge, and seven children were born to them.
In later years she married Allen Seymour. William F. born March 14, 1830[.] Married Amanda Hyston, they had five children. Married Antonette Maxom, two children born to them. Married Lydia Cook and to them were born three children. Timothy B. born June 17, 1832. Married Mary Carr, they had five children. David G. born February 1, 1835.
Married Mila Sperry, three children born to them. Lorenzo A, July 19, 1837. Married Elizabeth McLean, they had eight children. Nancy M. born December 7, 1839. Married Charles Hunter, five children born to them. Dennis H. born October 6, 1842 died when two years old. These children were born in York State, two of them married there, Exania and Jane.
In 1842 father and Harvey came to Plainfield, Kent County, Michigan. Father purchased a wild tract of land in section 12. and moved his family here in 1843. They lived in a grainary he had built for James House, the man owning the land adjoining, until a log house could be built. The old state road was laid out and in operation other wise there were only Indian trails. In after years mother often said "If I only had had only one child I would of taken it on my back and went a foot back to York State." Seven children were with them, Exania and Jane had remained in York
State. The doors were fastened with latches. A stump had been left at one side of the door.
People use to go far and near and have supper about eleven o'clock, tell stories and have a goodtime.
One night a load of people came in a sled drawn by oxen to have a supper and spend the
evening, the sled hit that stump tipped over, some of the people were thrown against the door and it flew open and they rolled in. It was sure some surprise party. In later years they had apples and nuts, it was a very good thing it did not take as much to entertain then as it does now.
In 1846 they built the house that still stands on the old place. The large rooms below and a
recess, each room had a fireplace and between them a big brick oven where the baking was done, a fire was built in it and when hot it was cleaned out and the baking put in. The other cooking out-of-doors. There were two large rooms above and a small one, historically known as the "pegging room." Later the kitchen, woodshed and wellroom was built on. The old well is still there.
Amanda M. born January 23, 1845. Married Denis Lewis and to them were born five children.
William born May 2, 1847, living just six weeks. Reliance A. born August 4, 1850. Married Henry Butler and to them were born eight children.
Mother told how one time Mrs. House, Exania and herself went to Plainfield to trade and she got some meat and when they got part way home a wolf followed them, Mrs. House tried to get mother to throw the meat away but she would not for it was hard to get food. They got home all right. The children never went out alone for it was all woods, wolves and bears were plenty. One time Ren [Lorenzo] was after the cows and he heard a lamb bleat he looked up and saw a wolf with a lamb and he skinned home.
They had to go to Cannonsburg to get their grists ground. One time Dave and Ren drove a yoke of oxen and at a fork in the road a span of horses came up and the boys run the oxen so they could get to the mill first. It was woods all way and only two houses. Father use to go up there and card the wool into rolls. Mother and the girls did the spinning. They grew flax to make thread and cloth. Father did the weaving and he also wove carpets. They bought one of the first stoves made in this part of the country, called the Preminer stove.
There were only two houses between their place and Grand Rapids and only two or three stores -- -- a few people living there, about 1846. Father dug most of the wells around there. One well, at the bottom of Plainfield hill was 109 feet deep.
July 25, 1860[9?] father's birthday, mother gave a surprise party for him and invited all the
children and grandchildren home. Manda came home to help me bake. In the mean time uncle Barnard, father's brother, that he had not seen for thirty-five years came, and father was very anxious to take him around and show him his children as he felt very proud of them. Father had a nice horse and carriage. We put uncle on about the surprise so they use to go out riding, but father did not like it because he thought uncle did not want to see his children. While they were out we would bake and put it all away out of sight. Father would come in and ask, "Girls why do you have it so hot?" We told him as we both had babies we could not work so fast and that would satisfy him. On the morning of his birthday we got him to pick currants south of the house, while there he heard a rig coming and looked up and there were three. He jumped and clapped his hands and said, "Now I know why the girls had such a hot fire."
He played ball and had such a good time, just like a little boy. The children all came with their families and they lived so they could not drive home so they stayed all night, we made family beds up stairs and some went to the barn to sleep. We had a pleasant time. The children made father a present of a new suit of clothes and he thought that was fine of them to think of him.
After the birthday he went home with Uncle Barnard to Bay City and made a visit to his relatives there. When he came home he and mother went to Cedar Springs and up north to visit their children who lived there. When they came back they went home and stayed a few days. As it was New Year's he wanted to go to watch meeting up on Moffitt Hill. It was five miles and he did not wish to drive because he wanted to stay all night. He dressed all up in his suit and white shirt, and walked off just as spry as a boy and when he came home said, they had a glorious meeting. Then he and mother went to Crockery to visit Nancy and the others who lived there.
When they started home it was a beautiful day and good sleighing. Before they got to Lamont he was taken with a chill and mother thought he was just cold so they stopped and got a cup of tea and something to eat at the hotel and came on home. He got worse and when they arrived home he was unable to put the horse out. I unhitched the horse as Ren and Henry [Butler] were both up north in the woods. Father could not sleep but walked the floor all night. We sent for all the children and they all came home.
February 17, 1870 father passed out of this life. He was a devoted faithful Christian. He use to say, if it stormed so hard he did not like to take a horse out and start off on foot, "I am neither pepper nor salt." He was the class leader for a good many years at the Methodist church at Plainfield. We feel that we can say with Paul, "I am now ready
to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 2 Tim. 4: 6-7. His text, 2 Tim. 4-7.
Mother's birthday, August 5, 1870 after father had passed away we invited all the children home. I do not remember how many came but there was a good many. There were nine children and they were all married and had families. It was understood then that we meet annually on her birthday and we did. We always killed a sheep, chickens and had other meats. At first we did the baking at the old home. Mila helped me get ready.
August 5, 1871 Ren lived there then, and Libby had a little baby and was not able to do the work and only had Jane to help her. We all wanted to go home so we baked and took it along. We did that way after that and always looked forward to that day. Most of us stayed two days. If that old house could talk it would tell some wonderful tales.
August 5, 1873 Henry [Butler] and I were back on the old place and they all came home. The new married people always had the "pegging room" to sleep in the rest slept where they could find a place.
August 5, 1877 Ren is now on the farm. The first years all came home now we begin to miss some of the loved faces. Nothing but sickness ever kept us away. Nothing special at these gatherings only grand good times.
In 1883 Aunt Betsy, father's half-sister was with us. According to Charlie Butler who dished the ice cream, she ate seventy-five dishes of cream. We had lots of fun, good times which we will never forget. The children gave mother a silk dress and she was buried in it.
We pass on to the last birthday 1888. Each year the children and grandchildren have come to the old home. The old house has been filled to the limit, the barn holding the overflow. What was said of the first birthday can be said of them all, a grand good time filled with love and joy. If there was sadness and trouble it was left outside. Mother had been confined to her bed for ten months but she wanted them all to come home and did enjoy it so much. The young people thought music would be to[o] much for her, but she wanted them to play and sing. It made her happy to hear them. In a way it was sad for us as we knew it would be the last time she would be with us.
August 11th, at 11 p.m. she passed peacefully away, went to that blessed rest, in her heavenly home and to meet the loved ones there. May we all live so we may meet them where there is no partings and have a grand glorious birthday reunion in heaven. They are both laid away in the old cemetery called Oak Grove [now Oakwood].
Loe [Lorenzo II] Carpenter bought the old home from his father, Ren in 1916 and now has a modern house, in built 1917. May they live long to enjoy it.
August 5, 1916, after a lapse of twenty-eight years, seventy-five descendants of the Carpenters gathered at Baptist Lake. Only two of the children are left, Lorenzo and Reliance. A right royal good time. All happy to greet Frank and Lou Carpenter of Edmunds, Washington. Upon the suggestion of Nora Baker, Lillian Simpson, Mila Twichell and Mary Bergman it was decided that this should be made an annual event in memory of father and mother Carpenter and was organized as a Carpenter reunion with the following officers: President, Loretta Brown-Turk, (Jane's daughter); Secretary, Mila Twichell, (Lorenzo's daughter); treasurer, Mary Bergman, (Frank's daughter).
August 5, 1917, the second Carpenter reunion was held at Baptist Lake. Eighty- six relatives were present to enjoy the occasion. The following officers elected for the year were: Hozea Carpenter, (Lorenzo's son), president; Mila Twichell, secretary; Mary Bergman, treasurer.
Among the numbers on the program which proved to be very interesting was a talk by Reliance Butler on the organization of these birthday parties. Ora and Julia Hunter and son Chas. and Belle Hamel of Baumont, Texas motored through. Ora gave a talk on the old time home comings.
August 3, 4, and 5, 1918 the third Carpenter reunion was held at Baptist Lake with 73 relatives present and a right glorious time had. The following officers were elected: President, Wayne Carpenter, (Frank's son); vice-president, Eugene Carpenter, (Lorenzo's son); secretary, Mila Twichell; treasurer, Mary Bergman. The history of the family was written by Mrs. Reliance Butler and Retta Turk and was read by Mrs. Emma Edwards, (Nancy's daughter.)
