E-MAIL: I have my great grandmother's
Carpenter family bible from New York. It lists my great grandmother
Sarah Carpenter b. 31 jan. 1867 and her siblings brother Stephen and
sisters mary Edith Evelyn. Their parents Robert Halleck Carpenter b. 1
July 1827  m. May 11 1853 nyc to Amy Thorne Griffen Dau. of Thomas T.
Griffen and Mary Miller Amy b. Feb.18 1829. Robert 's parents are listed
as Benjamin and Martha. He died 17, 12m, 1838 aged 63 1mo. 3d (Born Nov.
14, 1775?) Martha D.19 of 9mo. 1827 aged 46 4mo. 11d.(born may 8 1781?)A
slip of paper in it lists a blacksmith bill of 17.06$ and on the
reverse  what appear to be death dates Martha in 1821 aged 46 James
1859aged 53 Joseph aged 36 in 1859 and Benjamin age 63 1838. Do any of
these appear in your data base? They were all Quakers for many
generations. The Sarah Carpenter listed 1st Married Henry Warrington
Gillingham at Meeting in NYC in 1897.These Quakers lived in Westchester
county and the Griffens in Orange and may have started out on Long Is
before settling in 9 partners . If any of this is of interest to add to
your data base I can send details. If you can connect them I would love
the info as I can't get past Benj. and Martha. Thanks for the site. Tina

Dear John, Yes I am still at this address. My Robert Halleck Carpenter was not the son of Wright Carpenter but the child of Benjamin Carpenter and Martha Weeks. From the dates I have for them I was able to reconstruct the line thru various Quaker records. The only online record had Robert's birthdate off by 20 years as someone must have thought it impossible for Martha to have Henry and then no children for all those years and suddenly have Robert.I had always heard Robert had a much older brother who could not take over his care when his mother died shortly after his birth. His father died when he was young leaving the orphaned Robert to be brought up by aunts in Westchester Co. which his family had helped settle.
I was also told that the family was descended from the Kips of new Amsterdam. Martha Weeks grandmother was a Kip. Wright Carpenter appears to be a close cousin of my line whose child has the same name as my ancestor. The Carpenters seem to like Benjamin and Robert and Sarah as names and repeat them often!
Thanks for keeping me posted on the Carpenter clan. Would you like a copy of what I have so far? Also, is La Mesa by San Diego? I was down there yesterday and thought I saw a road sign for La Mesa but am not really familiar with the area as I grew up here on the central coast in Santa Barbara County. My grandmother told me she had Carpenter cousins here in California as her aunt who married a Burr and moved to San Jose at the turn of the century. (Can one use that phrase now that the century has turned again?)Our family lost track of that San Jose bunch after they moved from New York. Thanks for all the info.
