Hello Carpenters:
Here is another Carpenter burial I found on my recent visit to Orange County NY.
In Ridgebury, along Route 6, is the "Primitive Baptist Church of Brookfield," est. 1792, with a modest cemetery adjoining. Brookfield was the old name for Ridgebury. Strangely, this church seems to have NO parking area, and NO directly useful path-or-walkway access from the road. Yet the church itself seems very well maintained, and the grass is neatly trimmed.
The cemetery, on the other hand, is a mess...with trash around and broken and fallen stones common.
In the cemetery of the Primitive Baptist Church is found "Abigail, the wife of Benjamin Carpenter, died June 14(?), 1836." I don't know which Benjamin this Abigail is the wife of.
(Also in this cemetery is Mary the wife of Holloway Stephens d. 4/19/1812 aged 38. I noted this Stephens burial only because Holloway Stephens was an abutting neighbor to my Carman Carpenter in Minisink. There is no particular Carpenter meaning to it...but there it is in case someone out there has some interest or connection.)
Robin.

Hello All:
Ruttenber & Clark's "History of Orange County" NY refers (pp.680, 684) to a Col. William C. Carpenter owning a farm in Wawayanda, "...about a mile and a half south of Brookfield..." in the mid 1800s. ... (partial)
Robin C.
MORE: 3 Apr 2001 Thanks, John and Ida for your responses. I now recognize this line as among the antecedents of Raymond George Carpenter.
In case it's of peripheral interest for you, synopsis of the 1798 tax lists describes the house of John Knapp (30x26, 6 windows, in good condition, value $300) adjoining Joshua Davis...and says Col William C. Carpenter was later the owner of the Davis house. The Davis property was "a stone and a wooden house in good condition, the stone size 30x35 feet, one floor, four windows, the wooden house size 24x18 feet, one window one floor valuation $367.50".
I realize I'm a bit more interested in this "locational" stuff than most others...but there it is.

John,
My name is Heather Stiebs (nee Miller), Clara (Carpenter) Miller was my great-grandmother. I have tackled other sides of my family tree, but this year I have started working
on our “Carpenter” side of the tree. Elizabeth (Carpenter) Eggers, who would be my great grand-aunt published the Genealogy of the Carpenter-Quiner families. Though it has
been a good resource to spring-board my research, it is not complete and seems to be filled with some general mistakes.
I can, with certainty, take us to Wilkins Carpenter (Newburgh, New York) there the line starts to get murky…. I believe his father was Nehemiah Jr then up to William of Rehoboth,
but with a lot of misinformation online – I can’t really find, with enough certainty to make me comfortable, what I need to establish this line. I’m not sure if you can be
of any help, but I thought I would reach out to you on the chance that you could be.
Our general family (Carpenter) comes from the Minnesota/Wisconsin area with a move back and forth to Florida.
What I “believe” our line to be:
Clara Carpenter – her father, Joseph Quiner Carpenter. (When young, traveled down the Mississippi River to Florida with cousin Peter Ingalls and friend Pearly Wilder – met, married Elizabeth Reese while in Florida – then eventually made their way back to WI/MN)
His father, Charles Carr Carpenter….. (married Martha Jane Quiner – sister to Caroline Lake Quiner – mother of Laura Ingalls (Wilder) – in fact, three Carpenters married three Ingalls in this generation…..)
His father, Wilkins Carpenter….. this was the last of our line to stay in the New York area. He died fairly young and his widow (Mellisant Watkins) remarried a Nathaniel Lockwood – they moved to Wisconsin (Concord, Jefferson, WI). Mellisant had three children with Wilkins before his death; Pheobe (married and stayed in New York), Charles Carr (settled in Pepin, Pepin CO., WI), and Verdine E (who also went to WI, but later died at Lake Providence, Louisiana during the Civil War).
(this is where I start to question the line……)
His father, Nehemiah Jr…….
His father, Nehemiah
His father, Solomon
His father, John…
His father, William of Rehoboth
His father, William of England
If you can be of any help OR point me in any direction that would help, I would appreciate it. I saw that the CD you were selling is all sold out, otherwise I would be interested in a copy.
If you could contact me at your earliest convenience to let me know if you could help or if you can’t I would be really grateful.
Thank you,
Heather (Miller) Stiebs

Dear John,
You will believe me when I say I am just wallowing in fun with this old Bible. What a treaure trove! I am transcribing the loose stuff first and will eventually send all of it, but here are the obits:
Prominent Citizen Gone
Dr. J. H. Carpenter Expires After a Short Illness
At one o'clock this morning the death messenger entered the home of Dr. J. H. Carpenter of the first ward and summoned him into the life beyond the reach of human experience. He was laid low last Friday by a stroke of apoplexy, but so far recovered there from as to be able to go to his drugstore yesterday. But this morning at one o'clock he suffered a second attack and expired before medical assistance could arrive. The funeral will occur Sunday at two o'clock from the Congregational church in charge of the Odd Fellows of which he was a member.
Joseph Hope Carpenter, of Dutch descent, was born at Rome, Lenawee county, October 14th, 1841, spending his early life in the vicinity of Adrian. In 1863 he enlisted in the 10th Michigan Infantry and served his country during the great struggle for the preservation of the Union. The war ended he returned to the ordinary pursuits of life. Taking up the study of medicine, he took a course of lectures at Cleveland, Ohio, and subsequently began to practice medicine and continued in that profession up to his final sickness. Late in the seventies he moved to Mt. Pleasant and in 1880 located in Clare.
Dr. Carpenter is well known in Clare ad surrounding county. Having a taste for politics he had not a little following in the first ward and was generally more or less prominent in caucuses, conventions and elections. He served well in various offices to which he was elected, including village president, two terms county coroner, four times elected justice of the peace, which office he held at the time of his death, and was for several years member of the board of education.
Dr. Carpenter twice married, in1862 to Almaranta Carpenter to which union were born five children of whom Herbert J. of Fremont, Ohio, and Alva Dewitt of Grand Rapids, still survive, and in 1882 to Ester C. Haskell who survives him. Four children were born to the latter union and of these Ida May and Cora Elise survive. Two brothers survive the doctor, Benjamin at Adrian and Daniel in Minnesota.
The Sentinel extends to the sorrowing wife and two daughters its sincerest sympathy in the hour of their bereavement.

Dr. Carpenter Dead!
Well Known Physician and Justice, Expired From Heart Failure Yesterday Morning
On Friday evening last, Dr. Joseph H. Carpenter was stricken with heart failure, and for several hours his condition was regarded as serious. Within a day or two, however, he rallied and was able to be about his store as usual. On Wednesday evening he was about his business until a late hour, and though yet weak he expressed himself as feeling nearly as well as ever. At twelve o'clock he awakened his wife by an unusual movement, and she discovered that his breathing was extremely difficult and that he was unconscious. Physicians and neighbors were immediately summoned but before any had arrived the doctor passed away.
The funeral will be held from the Congregational church on Sunday afternoon at two o'clock, conducted by Rev. Woodlock, and under the auspices of Clare lodge I. O. O. F., and the interment will be made in Cherry Grove.
Joseph Hope Carpenter was born in Rome, Lenawee county, Michigan, October 14, 1841, being 62 years, two months and thirteen days of age at the time of his death. He was married to Almaranta Carpenter, Aug. 4, 1863, and to which union came five children, two boys and three girls, the two boys, Alva and Herbert, surviving. Mrs. Carpenter died Feb. 22, 1880, and during that year the doctor located in Clare. On May 15, 1882 he was married to Esther C. Haskell, and to them were born four children, the survivors being Misses Ada and Cora.
Probably no citizen of this city was more generally known than was the deceased, and he enjoyed the esteem of a large following. He was actively engaged in the practice of medicine during the time, and for several years conducted a drug store. In public life he was well known and at different times occupied many of the positions of honor and trust at the disposal of the voters, including that of mayor and alderman, justice of the peace, coroner and member of the board of education. At the time of his death he filled the positions county coroner, justice of the peace and member of the soldiers and sailors' relief commission. He was a veteran of the civil war, and gave much time to the soliciting pensions for his comrades and at which practice he was highly successful.
The doctor was a good citizen, devoted husband and father, and his death will be deeply mourned by a wide circle of acquaintance. The Courier extends to the bereaved family its most sincere sympathy.
