Since Carpenters in the Midwest are being discussed, I thought I would ask
again if anyone knows who Bemsley or Hemsley Carpenter - died Feb 22, 1853
at 77 years, and Olive, his wife who died March 30, 1850 at 64 years. Both
are buried in the Madison Center Cemetery, Madison, Ohio.
Also, where does Thomas Carpenter belong?....He died Aug 17, 1851 at 25 years
of age. He is buried at the Madison Township Cemetery in Madison, Ohio. His
wife was Almeda Maria Genung who was born at Penn Yan, NY. They were members
of the Baptist Church. They had children Alice M. b. 1849 d. 1901, and Henry
T. Carpenter/der who lived later near Dubuque, Iowa.
Is Thomas the child of the first couple listed above?
The SECOND Carpenter/der in my line (may or may not be related to the above
family) is Charles Carpenter born about 1785 and died in 1854. He married
Sally Lewis who was born in 1797 in NY. They had children Minerva Carpenter
(b. 1823 in NY), Eliza Carpenter, Destamonia D. Carpenter (b. 1828), Mary
Carpenter (b. 1831, Sarah Carpenter (b. 1834), David H. Carpenter (b. 1836),
there were probably others..
Some of this family later lived in Superior Township, Washtenaw Co. MI.I know this is very vague, but does anything above click with ANYONE?
