642. Dan or Daniel Carpenter

Number 418 in the Carpenter Memorial.  Page 95
Family on page 174 (#177)  Residence: Columbia, CT

HISTORY: He lived in his native town till he was 24 years of age; he then
bought a farm for 400 pounds in Tolland, CT.  This farm was near his uncle Noah
Carpenter, who had moved there some years previous to 1754.  Dan resided in
Tolland for 30 years and his children were born there.
In 1783 he purchased a farm in Lebanon, CT on which he lived til his death in
1804.  His church relations with the church at Tolland were changed Aug. 3,
1783 to Columbia, CT, then part of Lebanon.  He was a leading and influential
man in society.
There is no doubt that he was in the French and Indian war and was taken
prisioner in Oswego, NY in 1757 and was released with others.  He served in the
Revolutionary War as we find his name on the roll in the company commanded by
Lt. Morris of the 11th regiment.  He lived in the North Parish of Lebanon, now
the town of Columbia (in 1898) in 1800.  He marched for the relief of Boston in
1775 for 5 days.
He by his will, distributes his property to his heirs namely, to his wife Abia,
to his daughter Wealthy Fuller, Rebecca and Abiah Sprague, who lived in New
Marlboro.  The amount of his estate was $3,936.60; his son Paul was appointed
executor, 10 Oct 1804.

time from Tolland, CT for the relief of Boston, 1775.  He then resided in

Regiment: enlisted 1 July 1779 and discharged 16 Dec 1779 and he was again in
the service 20 Jan 1781.  It is this Comfort who was on the pensionroll in CT
in 1818.  We find him on the pension roll still later in Tolland county, CT in
1832.  No record found after that indicating he died about that time.

656. Daniel Carpenter

[Notes for Daniel Carpenter, his wives, and daughter Sarah edited and revised by Eugene Cole Zubrinsky of Ojai, California, 2007]

On 1 May 1758, Jedediah Carpenter conveyed land at Coventry, Conn., to "Daniel Carpenter my Sone" (Coventry Deeds, 4:470).

At Stafford on 19 December 1808, Daniel Carpenter sold 50 acres to son David, who then leased the property back to his father (Stafford Deeds, 10:196, 585). The arrangement provided for Daniel and wife Eunice to use and occupy the entire 50 acres during the term of Daniel's natural life; if Eunice survived him, she was entitled to remain on half of it for the term of her natural life. David sold the property on 20 April 1812, requiring that the buyer allow for "the use and improvement of one half of the said premises during the natural life of Eunice Carpenter wife of Daniel Carpenter af[t]er the decease of the said Daniel Carpenter" (Stafford Deeds, 10:557-58). On the same date, in a step not normally taken by a married woman, Eunice filed a deed-related bond (Stafford Deeds, 12:205 [as listed in general index]). It is reasonable to conclude from these facts that Daniel Carpenter died after 19 December 1808 and before 20 April 1812, probably much closer to the latter date.

For more information about Daniel and his father, see Kendall P. Hayward, "Jedidiah [sic] Carpenter of Coventry, Conn.," _The American Genealogist_ 53 (1977):116-18.

Elizabeth Skinner

Gene Zubrinsky notes follow.

An unidentified wife of Daniel Carpenter--presumably this Elizabeth--is recorded in the register of the church in Vernon as having died on 7 December 1780, aged 51 [b. ca. 1729] (_The New England Historical and Genealogical Register_ [NEHGR] 59:412), Vernon was then a society (parish) in the towns of East Windsor (that part now in Ellington, Tolland Co.) and Bolton (northern section).

The will of David Skinner of East Windsor, dated 24 October 1785, names Carpenter grandchildren Daniel, John, David, Moses, Abner, Marianna, and Elizabeth, children of David Carpenter and the testator's daughter Elizabeth Carpenter, deceased (_The American Genealogist_ 53[1977]:117).

On 24 June 1789, Daniel and David Carpenter of East Windsor, Moses and Elizabeth [Carpenter] Evans of East Hartford, Moses Carpenter and Maranah Carpenter of Stafford, and John Carpenter of Ballstown, N.Y.--all children of Elizabeth Carpenter, deceased wife of Daniel Carpenter and daughter of David and Elizabeth Skinner, both deceased--sold their 6/7 interest in a piece of land in East Windsor that they had inherited from their grandmother Elizabeth Skinner (East Windsor Deeds, 6:200). Their brother Abner of Simsbury had sold his 1/7 interest in the property on 4 May 1787 (ibid., 5:43).

BIRTH: Is Windsor birthplace confirmed?

DEATH: Death recorded in Vernon church book, but see addition below. Given PAF's limitations (and the search issue), I don't know how you want to label the county in cases where it's uncertain whether an event occurred in East Windsor or Bolton (the Vernon Society occupied these towns' respective eastern and northern sections). If, as you seem to do elsewhere, we give the name of the present-day county, there's a problem. East Windsor was and is in Hartford Co.; Bolton was also in Hartford Co. but has been part of Tolland Co. since its formation, in 1785. Two options come to mind: We can put (as I have) "Tolland," with the rationale that the section of East Windsor occupied by the Vernon Society is now part of Ellington, Tolland Co., and Bolton is also part of that county. Or we can put "Hartford/Tolland," with the rationale that present-day East Windsor (though not the part once occupied by the Vernon Society) is in Hartford Co., and present-day Bolton is in Tolland Co.-and/or that both counties were involved at some point. "Vernon, Tolland" would seem an option: although there was no town of Vernon at the time, neither was there a Tolland Co. The trouble with this is that present-day Vernon comprises only the former northern section of Bolton, and this Carpenter family may have been living in East Windsor on the relevant event dates.]

1878. Sarah Carpenter

The birth on 22 September 1783 of Sarah, daughter of Daniel and Sarah Carpenter, was recorded at Stafford; she was baptized at the church in Vernon on 24 September 1783 (Stafford Vital Records in _Barbour Collection of Connecticut Town Vital Records_, 44[Baltimore, 2002]:29; NEHGR 58:402). While Vernon Society was, as above, located in East Windsor and North Bolton, the church itself was situated in the latter place.


Eunice Snell

Gene Zubrinsky notes follow.

Eunice Snell married first at Stafford, 29 July 1762, Joseph White, who died there 1 July 1778 (Kendall P. Hayward, "Jedidiah [sic] Carpenter of Coventry, Conn.," _The American Genealogist_ [TAG] 53[1977]:117).

On 10 August 1784, "Eunice the Wife of Daniel Carpenter[, having been] recomend[e]d by Mr Willard," was admitted to the Vernon church (NEHGR 60:262). Daniel Carpenter and Eunice White had married on 1 April 1784 at Stafford, where John Willard was pastor from 1757 to 1807 (Stafford VR in _Barbour Collection . . ._, 44:28; Kendrick Grobel, _History of the First Church of Stafford . . ._ [Stafford Springs, 1942], n.p. [opposite title page]). On 28 January 1801, Daniel and Eunice Carpenter sold to Salmon Moulton all their rights to 16 acres, which had been set off to Eunice out of the estate of her former husband, Joseph White (TAG 53:117, citing Stafford Deeds, 8:198).

The aforementioned deed dated 20 April 1812 (see notes under Daniel, above) and the bond she filed on that date, also as above, make it clear that Eunice was then living.

657. Dr. Joel Carpenter

"(Dr.) Joel[5] Carpenter, bapt. 10 Dec. 1727, d. East Windsor (Ellington Parish) 25 Jan. 1789 aged 62 (g.s.); married Hardwick, MA (also recorded New Braintree MA, not New Britain CT as stated in the Carpenter Genealogy), 9 Dec. 1755, Mary Ruggles, born ca. 1728, died Ellington, 27 Dec. 1799 aged 71 (g.s.). This Joel has been confused in the Carpenter Genealogy with another Joel who lived in the Ashford, Conn., area. This latter Joel was assigned the above Joel's death date in East Windsor, but the author states that the age given at death did not agree by some years with the date of Joel of Ashford. Our son was back in East Windsor by 1 Sept. 1766 when he sold land to Brinton Payne. East Windsor LR 1:248, buys 7 acres in Ellington Parish (ibid.p.244, 17 March 1769) and is mentioned in Stafford LR 6:88 as of April 1784 when he secures judgment against Benj. Thomas, late of Stafford, now in Worthington, Hampshire Co., Mass. Bay. The will of Joel Carpenter was made 4 Nov. 1772, proven 28 Feb. 1789, when mention was made of wife Mary and sons Eli and Ruggles, not yet 21, and daughter Mary, not yet 18. Distribution was made 13 Feb. 1790 to Mary, widow of Dr. Joel, Eli and Ruggles Carpenter, and J. Convers Johnson and Mary. Children: 1. Eli, b. Hardwick MA 12 Dec. 1756. 2.
