I'm having difficulty placing my g-father, J. Littleton CARPENTER b: 1889 in Elba around the time of his birth. Nor can I find his father John Carlton Carpenter b:1860 (in Brantley, Crenshaw, AL). I have found 3 Carpenter marriages that might be related to my g-grandfather. Have any listers researched any of the following families? -Sherman CARPENTER married Mereleen HEAD on 10 Jun 1885; Coffee Co. -Ida CARPENTER m: C.S. LEE on 20 May 1885; Coffee Co. -George CARPENTER m: Julia Ann PRESCOTT on 01 May 1879; Coffee Co. If you have researched them, do you know who their other family members are? How is it that I have been able to find family in the 1700's in Germany and I can't find one g-grandparent in little 'ole Coffee Co? I sure hope you can help. Sandy Carpenter Mowery Leesburg, FL .
