MIDDLEBURY TOWNSHIP.

By John L. Sexton Jr.

Middlebury township is situated centrally in the county east and west, and a few miles north of the geographical center. It was formed from Delmar and Elkland, in September 1822, and originally contained much of the territory now embraced in the townships of Chatham and Farmington.

The streams in Middlebury Township are Crooked Creek, Norris Brook, Cumberland Creek, Hill's Creek and White's Creek, which all find an outlet in the Tioga River at Tioga Village, by Crooked Creek, Hill's Creek and White's Creek, which all find an outlet in the Tioga River at Tioga Village, by Crooked Creek. The principal stream is Crooked Creek. It rises in the township of Chatham and flows eastward through a narrow but fertile valley until it reaches Middlebury Center; thence northward, receiving the waters of several streams mentioned; and when near Tioga Village it is joined by the Elkhorn, a considerable stream, which rises in Farmington.

The soil is varied, consisting of various grades from the alluvium of the valley to the shales of the mountain summits which are to be found within its limits. In the valleys tobacco is cultivated quite extensively and profitably, while the cereals, grasses and orchard fruits receive the careful attention of the farmer.

There were originally great forests of pine timber, which years ago gave employment to a large number of men engaged in lumbering. The pine timber however is about all gone, and only lumbering in hemlock to a limited extent is now carried on. The people therefore give more attention to farming than in former years. When we say that lumbering is carried on to a limited extent we mean as compared with what was done twenty-five years ago. Bennett & Dimon have a grist-mill and stream saw-mill at Niles Valley; O. B. Lowell & Co. have a steam saw-mill at Niles Valley; G. D. Keeney one at Keeneyville; Walker & Lathrop one at Hammond's; and there is a saw-mill and grist-mill at the mouth of Hill's Creek known as the Mitchell Mill, built originally by Edsall Mitchell, a pioneer. A large tannery is in operation at Niles Valley, and a steam barrel and stave manufactory at Middlebury Center.

THE FIRST TAX PAYERS.

The first assessment was made December 18th 1823,--H. Beebe, William Knox and Elijah Welch County commissioners, David Lindsay clerk, and Thomas Boyes assessor. The following were the taxpayers reported:
...  Abijah Carpenter ... Jedediah Carpenter ...
...
By consulting with a number of the old settlers of the township we have been able to ascertain where a considerable number of the above named taxpayers resided.  ... Abijah Carpenter .. in what is now Chatham township.


6591. Abijah Carpenter

CENSUS: 1830 Census of Middlebury Township, PA lists a Abijah Carpenter with
the following information: 1 male 30-40, 1 female 30-40, 2 males 15-20,
2 males 10-15, 2 females 5-10, 1 female under 5.

E-MAIL: Thu, 15 Jul 1999 From: "Neal D. Carpenter"
John,
Thank you for your fast reply.  I appreciate your help.  My resources
indicate that Abijah (son of Samuel) moved to Richmond, NH (no date given).
If this is true, other information I have could make sense.  Do you have
information about the children of Abijah, son of Abijah, son of Samuel?  The
information I have lists 11 children.  They are as follows:
Myron Dana    1842
Lucinda    1829
James H.    1831
Eliza A.    1833
James M.    1836
George M.    1838
Almyra L.    1840
Oscar Lewis    1845
Clarence M.    1850
Clariees    1853
Ancil    No date listed
All children list Susan Dow as their mother
Again, thanks for your help.  This gives me some new places to look.
Neal.

I am trying to find the parents of Abijah Howard Carpenter born

Can you help me?  Thanks.   Neal.

Possibly a twin to Irene (more likely) or the same person (less likely).

NO! - The above person is female named Lurane.
Was this the "Loren" Carpenter who manufactured bricks upon his farm and sold
to the public per History of Tioga County, PA (1883)?
Also per the same record, Academy Corners Cemetery was on the Loren Carpenter's
farm.

Hi John,
...
One last tidbit is while I was online yesterday, I found a picture from a Tioga, Pa. (Joyce Tice's) website of Sarah S Carpenter gravestone, wife of Jedediah Jr. The writing on it states: Sarah S. wife of Jedediah Jr - died June 16 1842 aged 46 years 6 mos 7 d's. she's buried in the Carpenter Burial Grounds on Rte 249 abiur 1/2 mile from Middlebury Center and has only two other unmarked gravestones there. Supposedly some grave were moved to Union Cemetery in Middlebury, but there is no documentation on that.

SOURCES: Some of this differs from what KHoward 471 sent you in May 1998.  I
take it she got it from the tombstones.  I got this from a book, and I
will send to you the name, etc. next week when I can go to the library and
copy down the names.  I had it but can't find it.  I hope you
can make sense of this information.  Barbara.

I went to the library earlier today and got the information on the source of
the information I sent you on
NATHANIEL CARPENTER and his descendents.  The name "SYSTEMATIC HISTORY FUND"
"VITAL RECORDS OF DOUGLAS, MASSACHUSETTS, To the end of the year 1849."
Worcester, Massachusetts.  Published by Franklin P. Rice, Trustee of the Fund.
1906. Pages 92-93, 19-20, and 170-171.
In a book "HISTORY OF THE TOWN OF DOUGLAS, MASSACHUSETTS," From the Earliest
Period to the Close of 1878  BY WM. A. Emerson.  BOSTON:
Published by Frank W. Bird, OLD BOOK SHOP, 37 Cornhill, 32 Brattle Street and
Cornhill Steps. 1879. I found the following information.
"CARPENTER'S TANNERY"  For many years there was a tannery at Centerville,
built by Edmund Carpenter, Jr., who carried on the
business several years. He was succeeded by his son Nathaniel, whose death
occurred but a few months afterwards, and the business was again taken by his
father, and continued by him until 1836 when the buildings were torn down.
"CARPENTER's SHOE FACTORY"   The shoe business was carried on by Comfort
and Seba Carpenter at Centerville prior to 1837 when they commenced
the manufacture of sale work, continuing until 1854, employing about
sixty workmen. In 1856 the building was taken down, and the frame removed to
the Village of East Douglas, when it was remodeled into a dwelling-house.
There is also a note in the Biographical and Genealogical section that
states that a LOUIE M. DUDLEY, born 1814 was married to EDMUND CARPENTER in
1833, and died in 1835. That must have been after the death of his first wife,
NANCY SOUTHWORTH, and before his marriage to MARGARET ALDRICH.  There is no
mention of this in the VITAL RECORDS OF DOUGLAS, and there is no grave with
the rest of the Carpenters in Douglas Center Cemetery.  She may have been
buried in the Dudley lot since she was only married to him for two years.
MARGARET ALDRICH is not buried in the Carpenter lot either.

Abigail's grandfather was John Lee.  By which son is the question.
