Once I get to Elisha Carpenter I can go back to the Williams who came over.
But currently I am attempting to validate the relationship of Walter P.
Carpenter to Seth Carpenter. I have not been able to locate anyone else
tracing this line from Mass. to Maine to Minnesota yet. I have the copies
of the Censuses from Minnesota and Maine showing the family to Marshall P.
But nothing beyond.
Hope this gives you info and maybe you can open a new avenue for me.
Thank you, JohnDavid Hascup.

E-MAIL: Wed, 20 Sep 2000 From: jdhascup@elftech.com
I have found the link for Seth Carpenter - Walter Prime Carpenter-Marshall
W. Carpenter. I will be going to Minneapolis in March and will complete the
research for the line from Maine to Minnesota. Since some of the line also
comes to Washington I will begin working here. Hope this adds to your
records.
Thank you for all your work,

March 23, 1875," Walter P. Carpenter ObituaryHon. Walter P. Carpenter, a
resident of the city for over fifteen years, died yesterday noon, of
combined dropsy and heart disease. The deceased was 83 years of age, and
was the father of Mrs. J. B. Bassett. His wife, at the age of 82 years,
survives him, together with his two children, Mrs. J. B. Bassett of this
city, and Mr. Marshall Carpenter of Orono. Mr. Carpenter was well known to
all old settlers, although he never engaged actively in business in this
State. He served in Vermont and New York regiments during the war of 1812,
and was a prominent politician in his native State - Massachusetts. The
remains will be deposited in a vault, awaiting interment in Layman's
cemetery. The time of the funeral services will be announced
hereafter.Source: Minneapolis  Tribune, March 23, 1875Note: There would
appear to be a conflict on Walter P's home state, but it should be noted
that Maine was part of Massachusetts until 1820, when it separated from
that state. .

Carpenters in MinnesotaJohn,I can give a you a great deal of help. I am
another Seth Carpenter's greatgrandson. Walter P. Carpenter was Seth's
Uncle. Walter P. and his brotherJohn (Seth's father) are buried in
Minneapolis. Walter P. and John's fatherwas the Seth Carpenter from
Attleboro, Mass. He move to Maine in 1893 fromSutton, Mass. The Carpenters
in Maine were a very interesting family. Manymigrated to Minnesota in the
mid 1800's. A number of family members migratedto the Seattle area later in
the century. Three of my great grandfather'sdaughters eventually landed in
Seattle (Delia Carpenter, Cora Toby(Carpenter) and another whose name I
don't have close at hand. Cora Toby wasmarried to a fellow by the name of
Simeon Toby who own the Rainier StateBank in Seattle during the early part
of this century. I've been trying tofind some information of them, but
haven't found much yet. They lived on astreet named Seward Park. I don't
have the street number handy at themoment.I'd love to keep this exchange
going. Tell me more about your research. I'vebeen in contact with some of
the Carpenter's who are still back East.Reed Carpenter-----Original

2308. John Carpenter

Number 1463 in the Carpenter Memorial on page 210.
No family listed in CM.   EXTENSIVE NOTES BELOW, Thanks to Paul N. Carpenter.
John represented Patten in the State of Maine Legislature.  He was residing in
Lincoln, ME in 1820.  Latter he moved to Minnieapolis, MN.
Paul N. Carpenter of ME (1990) provided details on John Carpenter's descendants.

BOOKLET: One Branch of the Carpenter Family - A Brief History by Paul N.
Carpenter 1990.   John Carpenter was born Sept. 20, 1793 in Paris, Maine.
Amos Carpenter's history lists John as born in Patten. This is not
possible since Patten did not have its first settlers until after 1620. The
history also says that he lived in Lincoln, Maine, in 1820, and that he
later moved to Minneapolis, Minn.] # 1463 John married Joannah Ford (B.
1795 ) of Sumner, Maine, July 14, 1815. Amos Carpenter's history does
not follow the family beyond this point. Later data is based an the
History of Paris, Maine by William Lapham and Silas Maxim; the Maine
Archives records of Paris, Patten, and Linneus, Maine; and other
historical documents noted in the list of references.
The Penobscot Registry of Deeds shows' that John Carpenter bought
from Amos Patten " 167 acres on the Aroostook Road, Township 4 Range 6
(Patten), west of the East line lot # 30 Sept. 9, 1836 ". A house was
built and stood on this land until about 1985 when it was burned by an
arsonist. This lot is about one mile north of the Patten cemetery on
the west side of the road. This land is presently owned (1990) by Irene
Bradford of Patten. Irene has provided much historical information of
Patten, as well as a photograph of John Carpenter, which was probably
taken about 1850.
(con.)
It is recorded that Amos Patten, a coastwise shipper of Bangor,
Maine, bought the township of Patten in 1820. He hired Ira Fish to go
to the area to start a settlement. Fish went there by way of the
Penobscot and Mattawamkeag rivers to Mattawamkeag Lake, thence to what
is now Island Falls, up Fish Stream to Patten. Later, a trail was
blazed through the woods from Mattawamkeag village probably through
Molunkus, Benedicta, Sherman, and Stacyville to Patten.
Presumably John and his family followed this route. It is
recorded that this was the second family to settle in Patten and that
they arrived prior to 1838. The Patten census of 1850 showed the
household of John Carpenter, age 56, farmer, to consist of:
Name     Born       Age Spouse (Not part of census data)

COMMENT: The census data suggests answers to several questions.
1.John Carpenter was living in Patten in 1870. His wife Joanna
had died Dec. 7, 1867 and apparantly Seth and his family was
living with him. I suggest that John died at a date unknown
to us and was buried beside his wife Joanna, and no one saw
to having a stone placed there.
2.Lafayette, listed in the household of John in 1850, was
obviously too young to be the son of John and Joanna. He is
listed in both 1860 and 1870 in the household of Albion,
thus should be listed as the son of Albion.
3. Chloe, whose Patten cemetery marker lists "Chloe C. -
Daughter of John and Joanna Carpenter Died April 25,
1876 age 10 years 5 months 15 days " is listed in the 1870
census as daughter of Seth, age 13. Since numbers on the
stone are nearly illegible, probably the age should read
Age 18 years 5 months 15 days.
(con.)
Simeon, born Oct. 5, 1831, lived in Patten throughout his life.
The 1870 Census listed his occupation as lumberman. Simeon married
Emeline Scribner, sister to Daniel Scribner and aunt to Caleb Scribner,
founder of the Lumbermans Museum in Patten, trustee of Patten Academy,
and school teacher.
The children of Simeon and Emeline and their spouses were:
Charles Arthur  Jan 25, 1863 Delia Hope Bubar
Ira Daniel      Dec 14, 1868 Ella Ruth
Mina                         Lewis Jacques
Amy                          Charles Darling
As previously shown, the 1870 Patten census listed Dora A. and Ida E.
in the Simeon Carpenter household. Simeon's daughters were known to
the family as Amy and Mina. Why they are listed as Dora and Ida on
the census is not known to us. Amy and Mina both lived in Auburn.
Neither had children. Both are buried in Auburn. Mina worked as a
seamstress and dressmaker at B. Peck's in Lewiston.
Ira lived in Patten. He became a dealer in horses, supplying
horses for woods work, for which there was great demand. He was a
somewhat " boom or bust " individual. Much of his life he was
financially well to do. Occasionally he had very little. Ira also had
contrasting personalities. He spent much of his time in his office in
his horse barn - a barn big enough to hold about a hundred horses.
His office had an attached room equipped with a large round table
ideal for card playing. These games were not played for pleasure, and
were quite continuous.
Ira was not noted for his church attendance, but the ministers
were not surprised to sometimes find a barrel of flour, sugar, or meat
left at their door. It was commonly known where the provisions came
from, but never admitted to by Ira.
Ira married Ella Ruth in Linneus, Maine. They had one child,
Annie born Oct 8, 1882. Annie married Manson Brown, a dentist and
later an undertaker. They had one child, Ruth, who married Floyd
Hewitt.

CHARLES ARTHUR CARPENTER AND DESCENDANTS
Charles Arthur Carpenter was born Jan. 25, 1863. He married Delia
Hope Bubar Mar. 13, 1890, in Linneus, Maine. Delia was the daughter of
Frederick Hammond Bubar, a Baptist-minister. Charles, as did his
brothers and sisters, attended Patten Academy. Since school at that
time was a somewhat irregular affair, it is difficult to determine how
far a student progressed. He and Ira were stage drivers out of Bar
Harbor for a time. He worked in Linneus in a mill processing hemlock
bark for dying processes. This is probably where he met Delia.
Their children and spouses were:
Ella Vallie     10/27/90 -    10/10/81       Frank Hamilton
Amy Mable        9/11/92 -     7/23/89   Ora Gilpatrick
Frances Willard  5/28/94 -    10/19/80  Dr. Loren Carter
Fred Hammond     9/28/96 -     8/20/59   M. Phillipa Joscelyn
Roland Joy       2/13/99 -    1/11/89   Izetta E. Lidstone
Lewis Jacques    4/ 5/05 -     3/28/87   Charlotte Augustinus
Paul Nathaniel   6/ 9/10 -         Elaine E. Shaw
Ella, Amy, Frances and Fred were born in Linneus. Roland, Lewis,
and Paul were born in Patten. Charles moved to Patten between 1894 and
1899. Deeds show that he bought property in Patten in 1901.
(con).
In Patten, Charles and Ira owned a farm on the Happy Corner road,
later called the Harrington farm (they sold to Joseph Harrington). At
the same time they sold that farm, Ira went into town and Charles
bought a farm at the corner of Happy Corner and Frenchville roads,
where he lived until his death in 1921. The farm was sold by Delia in
the fall of 1921.
Charles worked as a farmer. During the winter months the horses
were used for work in the woods. Usually one team was rented for woods
work or with a teamster for the winter. The other team stayed on the
farm and Charles would contract to deliver supplies for woods
operators, preferably not more than 112 days travel into the woods.
This allowed him to be home at night.
It was an one of these trips into the woods that he developed a
strangulated hernia, which was not readily reduced. He was brought
from the woods, went by train to Bangor where surgery was performed.
Gangrene developed, and there being no anti-biotics at that time, he
died at age 58. Delia died Sept 22, 1926.
At the time of his death, Charles left his wife Delia, seven
children, and seven grandchildren. In the years since then, the
number of his descendants has grown substantially. At the time of
this writing, they include:
7 children
20 grandchildren
63 great grandchildren
78 great great grandchildren
