Quote from page 700, Daniel Carpenter...
"Benjamin and Sophia (Strader) Carpenter, were both natives of Ohio, but they emi grated to Indiana at the very early date of 1828." and "The paternal grandparents, Abel Carpenter and his worthy wife, were natives of Virginia, and were reared to habits of energetic industry. They removed to Ohio at an early date in the histoiy of the Buckeye State, and their son Benjamin was only following the example of his honored parents when he too sought a new home in the Western wilds, and with his young wife, Sophia, located upon one hundred and sixty acres of Government land, situated in what is now Van Buren Township."
Is the data below for this Benjamin? Was the birth dates in reverse order?
E-MAIL: Wed, 01 Mar 2000 From: George Carpenter
John,
I replied to your note on GedForum atand it was rejected.
Was this to be the site of your new 2000 project or am I missing
something here?
Anyhow, here was my info if you can use it. I think I sent it to you some
time ago. Here goes:
I can't seem to find any clues to my line of Carpenters any further back
than Vigo County, Indiana on October 31,
1848 when Benjamin Carpenter (my g-grandfather) married Mary Ann
Bailey. I visited Vigo
and Sullivan Counties again in November and found a few post-marriage
details but can find no burial place for Ben and Mary. Ben married
Rebecca Schoonover in Sullivan County on Sept. 27, 1877. Don't know
what happened to Mary Ann. Anyway, here is some information I have so
far.
Ben and Mary's children were:
1849 Harriet Evelyn born in Vigo Co.
1852 Alonzo born in Vigo Co.
1854 Mariah born in Vigo Co.
1856 Sarah born (?) Indiana (I would assume Vigo Co.)
1858 George born in Vigo Co.
*1863 Charles Aaron (My grandfather) born in Vigo Co.
1877 Ben Marries Rebecca
???? Dennis is born
I found a record of a Benjamin Carpenter who died on Jan. 29, 1901 in
Hymera, Indiana (Sullivan County) but no burial information. My cousin
thinks this is not my Benjamin but the places and ages seem to work
for me so I still think it is. I shall continue.
Charles Aaron Carpenter (My g-father) married Sarah Jane Houghton in
Edgar County, Ill. on 23 January, 1887. There children were:
Benjamin Stapleton b. Nov 11, 1887
Maudie Maria b. Aug 08, 1889
Charles William b. Mar 13, 1891
Grover Cleveland b. Jun 20, 1892
Mary Matilda b. Sep 06,1894
Lizzie Euradica b. Mar 06, 1897
Oather Houghton b. Nov 16, 1900
*Don Dillard (My dad) b. Apr 16, 1902
Leon Ashford (His twin) b. Apr 16, 1902
Katie Lenora (Living) b. Jun 26, 1905
Infant Son (Died) b. Nov 21, 1906
Don Dillard Carpenter (My father) married Lillie May Sturdivant on
July 30, 1924 and for the life of me I haven't been able to find out where.
I know it was in Southern Illinois somewhere. I'll find it this year!
Don and Lillie's children were:
Charles Emerson b. Sep 04, 1925
Roy Eugene b. May 09, 1927
Marjorie Louise b. Oct 04, 1929
Reuben Donald b. Dec 06, 1931
George Taze (Me) b. Jan 11, 1934
Irma Kathryn b. Dec 31, 1935
George Carpenter married Irene Electa Lawrence on Jan 11, 1952 in
Mercer County, Illinois. Our children are:
Michael Allen b. Jan 08, 1953
Teresa Lee b. Jun 13, 1956
Lorraine Sue b. Apr 20, 1960
Mike and Terri had no children. Alas! My Carpenter line ends here.
Lori Sue Carpenter married Timothy Glenn Bausch on Nov 11, 1978 in
Mercer County, Illinois. Their children are the joy of my life! Oh.
Got carried away there. There names are:
Ryan Michael b. Oct 02, 1981
Dustin Glenn b. Mar 09, 1986
Kodi Lynn b. Nov 11, 1990
Give us a few more years and we'll have more names. But no Carpenters.
