RE:    Ruth Carpenter (b: Jan 24, 1776 in NY)
Date: 14 Nov 2001 GMT
 Looking for any possible help in finding info on the children of Ruth Carpenter (daugher of Caleb Carpenter, wife of John Kipp):
 "The Kip Family in America" contains info on a John Kipp who was the son of James Kipp and Zipporah Carpenter.
 John Kipp married Ruth Carpenter (b: Jan 24th, 1776). "The Kip Family in America" lists the children of this union as:
 Lydia
 Zipporah
 Maria
 Jesse*
 Caleb
 Henry
 Joseph
 William
 * I am trying to determine if this Jesse is my G-G-G-G Grandfather Jesse Kipp. My Jesse was born in NY (1804), though later   married in Canada, and eventually settled in Grand Rapids, MI. Can anyone through their resources identify the birthdates of the children of John Kipp and Ruth Carpenter? Or provide any additional info that might help us along? Thanks!!!

Usher had hertiage wrong.  Also this Jesse with birth date as given does not

other was born.


291. Isaac Carpenter

SEE: Genealogical and Historical Record of the Carpenter Family, by James Usher

Usher had the heritage wrong. Also this Isaac with birth date as given does not
match the 1901 book Isaac date of birth. Probably one died before the other
was born. However, the dob matches (3 Sep vs 23 Sep - a consistent difference
between the records) that of Jesse in the 1901 book.
