Hello, I really appreciate all the help I am receiving from the CARPENTERS' regarding my Charles Carpenter's parents. Charles was born in Chautauqua Co., NY and died in Napoli, Cattaraugus Co., NY (1830-1888). I now have his will, which doesn't give me a clue to his parentage, there is no death record according to NY vital statistics. He was married by 1860 to Harriet A. PALMER and living in Cattaraugus Co. Charles was a marble sculptor, had 2 sons, Clayton, (1862-1863) and Arthur DeVere (1866-1858). Arthur, I was told, was a genius. Arthur was first an ordained Baptist minister, therefore moving around the country, and later received his doctorate in astronomy and lectured on the Chautauqua circuit in the USA, and other countries on God and the Universe. I was wondering if anyone has a Carpenter family with a Charles born 1830 in Chautauqua Co. NY? Other surnames connected to my Carpenter line are: BARKER, BERNARR, BOUGHTON, BYINGTON, DeVERE, MURDOCK, PALMER, RIGGS, SEELEY, SHERWOOD, WESTON, and possibly CHAMPLIN. My Charles, is not the Charles Carpenter, son of Frederick, born 1830 and died 1850 or 1860 in Franklinville, Catt. NY. By the way, if anyone has the obit of Charles, son of Frederick, would they please share it. I found it once, but didn't save it. Joyce Carpenter Sharpley [email protected]

I am researching 'colonial' Carpenters, particularly those who immigrated to Australia and New Zealand in the 19th cent. So far I have found 3 obvious branches derived from a James Carpenter (1739 to 1784) from Tiverton who married a Joan Denshaw (1739-1769). The Carpenters of Devon were farmers from c.1500 to the 1800's when the family farm was sold. The original farmer a Nicholas C. from Exeter (1530-1595). ] Do you have any connection from the William (the Carpenter) Melun of 1066 fame and this Devon branch of Nicholas/John/James ? I have most details from the 1500s but not before. Catching isn't it? Yours sincerely, Bruce Moore (mother was a Carpenter) Canberra, Australia [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected])

Just an FYI for early Germans and Swiss Germans in SC from www.palmettoroots.org/Auswanderer.html: "Between the years 1730 and 1766 the Colonial government of South Carolina actively encouraged immigration of foreign Protestants to the Province.  Appreciable numbers of immigrants from Germany began to arrive in the 1740s.  The year 1752 represented the peak of the migration with an estimated 1800 German settlers who arrived on several ships in the fall of that year.  Saxe-Gotha, Amelia, Salkehatchie, and the fork of the Broad and Saluda (Dutch Fork) became largely German settlements.  The Dutch Fork was the most densely settled, becoming home to 483 settler families by 1760, almost all of whom were of German origin (E. B. Hallman, “Early Settlers in the Carolina Dutch Fork 1744-1760”, Master’s Thesis, Wofford College).   It has been estimated that by the year 1765 there were 7500-8000 Germans and German-Swiss who had come to the province of South Carolina (R. L. Meriwether, “Expansion of South Carolina, 1730-1765”)." I grew up in the St. Andrews area of the Dutch Fork. Many of my childhood friends' surnames can be found in the list of settlers found at this website. Unfortunately, I found no Carpenters/Zimmermans there... however, it does not appear to be a complete list of German and Swiss German settlers in the Dutch Fork. NC had its own German and Swiss German colony, Christopher (von or de) Graffenreid's New Bern Colony, along with natural migration southward of the PA Germans and Swiss Germans to VA and then to NC. I know that some PA Germans and Swiss Germans made it to SC. My PA Swiss German Surbers moved to VA by the late 1750s, but my branch went west to KY then TX. My Carpenters were once from SC in the early 1800s, then to AL in the early 1820s, then to TX in the 1850s?, then to SC in 1966, then me back in TX in 1978. Rick

Hello Robert, I can add a little information for these two Zimmermann/Carpenters. The Boston Carpenter who was in the tax list in Logan Co. KY in 1800 was in Caldwell Co. KY in 1810, age 26-45 (born c1765-1784) with a female the same age (born c1765-1784), one male age 10-16 (born c1794-1800), two females age 16-26 (born c1784-1794), one female 10-16 (born c1794-1800), and two females less than 10 years of age (born c1800-1810). Caldwell Co. KY tax lists of 1809-1811 record him as one white over age 21. A tax list taken in Caldwell Co. KY in 1820 lists Boston Carpenter in Bennett Langston Esquire’s District and assessed him for one male over age 21, 2 horses, no land, and no slaves. I have not located him in the 1820 census or thereafter. There is a Sebastian Carpenter in Monroe Co. IL in 1840 born c1780-1790, and a Mary Carpenter in Monroe Co. IL in 1850, born c1789 in PA, but they do not appear to be related -- they are probably the Sebastian and Mary (Gundy) Carpenter who are listed on page 178 of Edwin Sawyer Walker’s work “Genealogical Notes of the Carpenter Family” (1907). I haven’t found William or Ulrich “VZ” Carpenter for certain after he sold his land on the south side of the Saluda River in Greenville Co. SC to William Acker on 27 Oct 1788. A William Acre who served in the NC State Line during the American Revolution was a pensioner in Wayne Co. KY in 1833. In nearby Adair Co. KY, which adjoined Wayne Co. before Russell Co. was formed in 1826, there is a tombstone for a William Carpenter with the following inscription: “William Carpenter, 17 May 1746 - 24 Oct 1834” -- this William has not been placed in another family, to my knowledge. From the above, it appears Boston/Sebastian Carpenter could have had at least one son born c1794-1800 and five daughters born c1784-1810, though of course those individuals in his household could have been of another relationship, perhaps step-children. But I have not been able to conclusively identify any children for him. William is more of an unknown. It would be great to see some research on these two -- their presence in the southern states at such an early date makes both of them candidates for the origin of several Carpenter lines that have so far not been connected.

Jesse Coles Patriot spy Submitted By _John Carpenter_ (mailto:[email protected]) Jesse Coles , was the famous Patriot spy from Glen Cove,(LI,NY ) in the Revolutionary War. Jesse was taken prisoner while carrying a message to General Washington and was confined many months in a prison ship at the Wallabout. According to a sworn testimony Jesse made in May of 1833 , in order that he may recieve pension from Congress for the service to the United States during the Revolution, he enlisted in April of 1775 as a Sergent in Captain John sand's Company of militia (" Minute Men "), in the Regiment comanded by Col. Birdsall . He served nine months of Garrison Duty at Cow's Neck (North Hempstead) . After the battle of Long Island, he escaped to Conneticut. In March of 1779, at Horse neck, Fairfield County, Conn. He enlisted in Capt. Olmstead's company of militia in the regiment commanded by Col. Thomas. During the two months he served with this company, he was engaged in the battle between Gen. Putnam's troops and the tory troops under the command of Gov. Tyron. In 1780 Jesse Coles enlisted in the Navy and served on one of the five whaleboats under the command of Capt Samuel Lockwood , who in turn was under the command of Major Hull. For the next year he was engaged in various raids against Brittish shipping and Brittish outposts on Long Island shores. Coles took part in a sucessful raid against Hart Island, in which he " took and carried away 12 prisoners . On another raid which was not so sucessful, he was captured by the Brittish, taken to New York City and confined for three days in the old city hall. He was then transported to the old city jail along with a number of other prisoners, and kept in irons there for 13 weeks ! The Brittish finally release him from confinment. upon his giving them " Security that he would not go without the Brittish Lines " . He continued being a prisoner within the Brittish lines for the next 2 and a half years, untill the Brittish surrended long Island at the end of the war. In 1865 James S. Carpenter , who married Jesse's daughter Sarah Ann, wrote a letter in which he stated that "Gen. Washington Rote A letter to him that if he would be true to him During the war he would reward him Bountafully". The letter Washington wrote seems to be , unfortunatley , no longer extant. Another reference to Jesse's service as a spy comes from "The Biographic History of Westchester County,NY", pub 1889 by Lewis Publishing Co. "For three years he was detached as a spy under the command of Washington, and being taken prisoner was incarcerated in the " Old Sugar House Prison " , but afterwards paroled. Later hge was captured by a English boat on Long Island Sound, while carrying messages , but the papers were skillfully hidden under the lining of his coat between the sholders, and were not found; so, there being no proof against him, he was released. Had the papers been found he would have been summarily shot. The gun which he carryied was given to his father by Richard Mott, is now in the posession of Abraham Coles as is the old family clock. Jesse was saved bt Anna Nott, a nurse , who warned him against eating some food that was poisoned." Miss Martha D. Carpenter, who was Jesses Coles' granddaughter, stated that Jesse had taken messages out of New York City and hidden them in a bottle in Boggy Swamp, at Dosoris . ( Boggy Swamp, according to Miss Carpenter, was an important hidding place for local Patriots during the Brittish Occupation of Long Island, as the cavalrymen would not enter the swamp, fearing the " War Wolf ", a sort of war phantom, would kill their mounts. Another ancedote recorded by Peter Luster Van Santvoord, in " Appleby Beach Park " an article appearing in the April'1963 issue of " Long Island Forum " states that Jesse hid in his barn,on Garvies Point, to escape a band of Brittish Soliders. There appears in several surviving papers of the Merseareau spy ring, which operated in the arae of New Jersey, New York City, and on Long Island , references to a field operative known as " Jesse ' or " J C " After The War: Upon the return of peace, Jesse returned to his farm at Musquito Cove. His marriage liscense to Deborah Carpenter was dated March 20 1781 and they were married a few days later. One of the most popular legends in Glen Cove concerns Jesse Coles and the founding of the Metodist Church in Glen Cove. The Rev Ezekial Cooper, a itinery Methodist circut rider, added Glen Cove to his itinerary, in 1785. It had been rumored that this precher was a agent of the King during the Revolution, and Jesse had pledged to give him a sound thrashing should his sermon contain pro-Tory sympathy. He attend the Rev. Cooper's first meeting, which was held in the private home of one of the Carpenter family, fully prepared to carry out his promise. But, it seems that Rev. Cooper's mission was so sincere that Jesse wound up as one of the first class leaders, and was in latter years to be one of the founders of the Metodist Church in Tarrytown,NY, in 1807. Jesse left Glen Cove, and on July 2, 1791 purchased a large farm 1 1/2 miles east of Tarrytown from Aaron Burr. Jesse remained a member of the congregation at Tarrytown Methodist church untill his death. Deborah , his wife died March 27, 1836, and is to said to have extracted from Jesse a dying promise that he would marry her sister Freelove , who was the widow of the Rev. John Searing. He kept his promise, marrying Freelove, but died soon afterwards , on Jan. 11, 1837 He married both Deborah and her sister Freelove. Just before dying Deborah,according to family legend, made Jesse promise to marry her sister Freelove,whose first husband ( Rev. John Searing) had died some 20 yrs prior. Jessie owned a 90 acre farm and home lot at Garvies point (Glen Cove,NY ), which was known as Sheep's Pen Point, which he had inherited from his father Joseph, a descendant of Robert Coles , the Musquito Cove proprietor. He also owned 25 acres of medow land further inland, plus the salt marsh between garvies point Rd. and the Creek. The large house in which he dwelt was later owned By Dr. Thomas Garvies; it stood on Garvies point untill it was demolished after WW II. SOURCE: Carpenter Family in America by Daniel H.

Dear listers, I have researched German speaking Carpenters/Zimmermans for some years now. I am seeking information on the following two individuals: 1. Bastian/Bostian/Boston Carpenter was listed in NC as a Revolutionary soldier, was in the 1790 Pendleton District, SC census and was in the 1800 Logan County, KY tax lists. I have lost him from there. 2. John Ulrich, variously spelled Waldreck, Woolrich, Ubrick, and William Carpenter. He signed with a VZ mark. He was in the Gaston and Lincoln County, NC area in the late 1760's through the early 1770's. He also was listed in Revolutionary service. He was also in the 1790 Pendleton District, SC census. I have lost him from there but he sold out in SC and probably moved nearby Boston Carpenter. I suspect these two individuals to be brothers. If anyone has information on them, I would appreciate it. Thanks, Robert Carpenter

Hi, Resending this as it was delayed so the message said, which means it probably won't go thru..........!

I have a Hope Carpenter that married Mary Ashman in the 1600's and they had three sons Heskiah, John and Ashman.

I believe That Hope 's wife was Mary ASHMAN daughter of Robert ASHMAN of LI,NY perhaps she was married before to a Mills?
