"History of Orange County" (NY) says (pp.161-162) that Benjamin Carpenter

for several years, he removed to Latintown in Ulster County.... As early as

Hi John,
I'm reading through an article & wonder if you've seen this & whether you have the 18 Carpenters noted in it?
Here is one:
"The Westchester Historian Volume 66 No. 4 Fall 1990, page 91
Notices in the Hudson River Chronicle - Deaths Dec 25, 1838
Carpenter, Benjamin died in Somers Dec 17, 1838, age 62. Member of Society of Friends."
If you've seen this source I won't bother copying & sending them to you. This Benjamin has dates similar to a Benjamin Carpenter you once sent me who was born 1775 & died 1835.
To refresh your memory on those that I research...

REPLY:
Dear Jean,
The dates are too close. While it may be a chance, they appear to be the same person.
The Westchester Historian Volume 66 No. 4 Fall 1990, page 91
Notices in the Hudson River Chronicle - Deaths
Dec 25, 1838
Carpenter, Benjamin died in Somers Dec 17, 1838, age 62. Member of Society of Friends.
I double checked the death date in the 1901 book and it does say 17 Dec 1835. My guess is that we may have found a typo!
I will make a note regarding this.
And yes, I would be interested in seeing more. Okay to share on the Carpenter forum?
Good Ops!
