Naval career
Carpenter was born in Leyden , Massachusetts , on 27 February 1834, the son of David N. Carpenter and the former Maria P. Newcomb.[1] Appointed a midshipman from Massachusetts on 1 October 1850, he was attached to the sloop-of-war USS Portsmouth in the Pacific Squadron from 1851 to 1855. He attended the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis , Maryland , from 1855 to 1856 and, upon completing his studies, was promoted to passed midshipman on 20 June 1856.[2][3][4]
Carpenter was in the Home Squadron and in special service between 1856 and 1858, serving consecutively aboard the steam frigates USS Merrimack , USS Roanoke , and USS Colorado and the brig USS Dolphin ; he was aboard Dolphin on 21 August 1858 when she captured a slave ship , the brig Echo, with 300 African slaves on board. He was promoted to lieutenant on 23 January 1858. [5][6][7][8]
Carpenter's next duty was aboard a receiving ship at Boston , Massachusetts, in 1858 and 1859, and he was promoted to master on 22 January 1858 and to lieutenant the next day. He reported for duty aboard the screw steamer USS Mohawk in 1859. Mohawk cruised off the coast of Cuba in 1859 and 1860 and captured the slave ship Wildfire on 28 April 1860, freeing 530 African slaves. She later guarded Naval Station Key West , in Key West , Florida , from armed groups seeking to seize it from the United States Government in the months prior to the outbreak of the American Civil War .[9] [10][11][12]
Civil War
Carpenter was still aboard Mohawk when the Civil War broke out in April 1861. He served aboard her that year in the Gulf of Mexico in the Union blockade of the Confederate States of America , both off Texas and in the East Gulf Blockading Squadron . In 1862 he was aboard the screw steamer USS Flag in the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron , participating in the capture of two blockade runners , the steamers Anglia and Emily, and being promoted to lieutenant commander on 16 July 1862. In 1863 he transferred to the monitor USS Catskill , also in the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron, and participated in attacks on the Confederate defenses of Charleston , South Carolina , on 7 April, 10 July, and 17 August 1863. Later in 1863 he was assigned to the staff of the U.S. Naval Academy, where he remained through the end of the war in 1865.[13][14][15]
Post Civil War
After service aboard the flagship of the Asiatic Squadron , the screw sloop-of-war USS Hartford , from 1866 to 1867, Carpenter became commanding officer of the screw sloop-of-war USS Wyoming in the same squadron in 1868. He then performed duty at the Portsmouth Navy Yard in Kittery , Maine , from 1868 to 1870 and was promoted to commander on 10 February 1869. After another short assignment at the Portsmouth Navy Yard in 1871, he returned to sea as commanding officer of the screw steamer USS Nantasket in the North Atlantic Squadron from 1871 to 1872. He was back at the Portsmouth Navy Yard from 1872 to 1875 on equipment duty.[16][17][18]
Carpenter was commanding officer of the gunboat USS Huron in the North Atlantic Squadron from 1875 to 1876, before another tour at the Portsmouth Navy Yard in 1878. Promoted to captain on 25 March 1880, Carpenter was on equipment duty at the Boston Navy Yard in Boston, Massachusetts, from 1880 to 1882, then returned to USS Hartford as her commanding officer from 1882 to 1884; during his tour, Hartford carried a team of American and British scientists from Callao , Peru , to the Caroline Islands in the Pacific Ocean to observe the total solar eclipse of 6 May 1883 . He commanded the receiving ship USS Wabash at the Boston Navy Yard from 1888 to June 1890 .[19][20][21]
Command & retirement
Carpenter was commandant of the Portsmouth Navy Yard from June 1890 to 15 January 1894, and was promoted to commodore on 15 May 1893. He became commander of the Asiatic Squadron on 1 September 1894 and was promoted to rear admiral on 11 November 1894; the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 was a major concern of his tour as squadron commander. He relinquished command of the squadron on 21 December 1895 and retired from the Navy upon reaching the mandatory retirement age of 62 on 27 February 1896, residing in Portsmouth , New Hampshire , during his retirement.
Carpenter was recalled to active duty during the Spanish-American War of 1898, returning to the Portsmouth Navy Yard to serve as its commandant from April to August 1898.[22][23]
Death
Carpenter had begun to suffer from severe nervous disorders during the final years of his naval career and sought medical treatment soon after his retirement. His condition improved, but around mid-February 1899 his health went into decline again, and he spent six weeks in the Adams Nervine Asylum in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, for treatment. Although his condition showed signs of improvement, he committed suicide at the asylum by shooting himself in the head on the morning of 1 April 1899. He was survived by his wife, three sons, and two daughters.[24][25]
Carpenter is buried at Proprietors Burying Ground in Portsmouth , New Hampshire .[26]

Drusilla M. Carpenter
Her married name may have been Coon, but no information is recorded in Lydia
Carpenter's Bible.

Lydia M. Carpenter
Lydia was Grandad Roby's Grandmother, it was reported that she was a devout
Seventhday Adventist. While the family lived in Meeker Grandad Roby and his
Grandmother Lida attended the Methodist church there and even had their name in
the corner stone of the old church, per Eloise McMahon. The 1880 cenus shows
her name as Lydia and states she was living in Medicine Lodge, KS next to her
daughter Amelia and that she was born in New York as were both of her parents.
Additional: Melvin Pyeatt the great-great-grandson of Lydia Carpenter has
possession of a Bible belonging to George Hilton and Lydia Carpenter Hilton.
It records Lydia's birth date, her parent's births and deaths, and the births
and a few deaths of brothers and sisters. It also records that her grandfather
died in 1839 or 1837. Lydia's lineage apparently was German at least on her
mother's side. The style of handwriting is that of the common German script of
the nineteenth century. Therefore whoever taught her to write--possibly her
mother--was familiar with the German script. As well, the Bible contains
several scraps of a German language newspaper printed in Pottsville, Iowa and
bearing the date 1882. This is the year her mother is recorded as dying in the
notations in the Bible. I surmise it was her mother who could read German.
DEATH: date take from Hilton-Roby family bible in possession of Fern DuBose.
Corrections and additions submitted by : D. Niler Pyeatt of Plainview, TX.
George O. Hilton
The 1855 Wisconsin State census (this was too faint to copy) shows
the George Hiltons in Lafayette Co, in the town of
Argyle,page #04, the record lists 1 male & 1 female living in the house hold
(George would have been 23 at the time). There was another George Hilton in
Wisconsin in the 1855 state census, Polk Co, p.# not given, town of LeRoy,
this record was a large family, so I do not believe it is our George Hilton.
The 1880 census shows George
and Lydia living in Medicine Lodge, Barbour Co, Kansas on south main street
next to his daughter Amelia Roby and family he was 48 at the time. The record
states that he was born in New York as was his father, his Mother was born in
Germany.
