My Cary C. Carpenter b. 1856 & died in 1930 in Florala. He first married Joanna Griffin, born abt. 1856 also. Cary is with his Father William Bailey Carpenter in 1870 & I do not know the parents of Joanna/Johanna/Joe-anna- spelled all sorts of ways. She appears with Cary in 1880 with 3 children. So they married young. Oddly the oldest is George & age 11, which may be a Census taker mistake, Then Jesse Monroe, my great, Great Grandfather, age 5 which is correct & Gussie Eldridge Carpenter age 3. In 1900 in Covington, Joanna CarpenDer is stating to be a widow, but Cary Carpenter has remarried an Elizabeth Carter in 1895. I am not sure the year Joanna Griffin & Cary Carpenter Married, I have 2 of her children's death certs that claim she was a maiden name Griffin. She was living with her great grand daughter & her husband in 1930 in Santa Rosa Fl. when she died. I have been chasing Miss Joanna over 5 years to find nothing to put her with any parents. I do have her death certificate. Cannot locate an Obit. Joanna had a daughter Mary Ellen who also died in 1930 of Malaria in her second married. Now her death certificate says that her mother was MaryAnn Griffin. Of course her daughter was deceased so it was 2nd handed info, but I thought I'd throw that info in. She was never called MaryAnn in any Census at all, but who knows. Cary and Joanna also had a John Dosh Carpenter but I have never been able to locate anything at all on him period after the 1900 Census in Rose Hill Covington. George disappeared also and was not found near or with his Mother, Joanna in 1900, he remains a mystery also. Any help would be great !! Lisa
