Edna, There are now two CDs with the "Carpenter Memorial" on them. 1) One is the one I did in April 2001 and is part of the CE CD 2001. You can get more details at: http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/c/a/r/John-R-Carpenter/index.html You can get the 2 CD set from the Carpenter Museum in Rehoboth, MA. It contains the book "A Genealogical History of the Rehoboth Branch of the Carpenter Family in America" with several other Carpenter books and articles. In addition, this CD version has the corrections from the back of the book added to each page and many hand written updates as well. The pages of the book are in picture format. After I made back the costs of the CD, (less $1.00), I donated the rest of the CE CDs to the Carpenter Museum to be used as a fund raiser. Now you can get a copy of the CE CD 2001 for $15.00 from ... Carpenter Museum P. O. Box 2 Rehoboth, MA 02769 The Carpenter Museum is part of the Rehoboth Antiquarian Society. Make checks out to the Rehoboth Antiquarian Society. Carpenter Museum Phone: 508-252-3031 The Carpenter Museum has a web site at: http://www.carpentermuseum.org/ 2) The second version that is out there is from GenealogyCDs.com (http://genealogycds.com) They have a list price of $19.95 with $2.50 S&H for a total of $22.45 for a single CD. Their files are in PDF format. The book they used is a clean copy with no hand written updates or corrections brought forward. Naturally, I suggest supporting the Carpenter Museum because you get more for your money! John R.

The family immigrated to the Choctaw Territory in Oklahoma reportably because of the treatment they were afforded in MS. No father is remembered. A Jane Carpenter, WD lives next door to William and Tennie Carpenter in the 1910 census. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Hope it helps someone!

In any event he was in business in Rochester, NY and the company at one point made the highly prized Robinson chairs in the mid 1800's, I believe. He came here fr. who knows where abt. 1825 and ended up going into a partnership w/the business w/my gggfather, Daniel Wood Chase. He died shortly thereafter which I believe was about 1865. Anyyyyyy help anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated.... Thanks so very much! Barb Chase Thompson [email protected]

For those who are also searching for info on Jeremiah M. Carpenter born TN abt 1847, & died 1944 in Whitley Co. KY: I have located a few more pieces to Dr. Jerry's complicated marital history, & to the identity of his parents. The new pieces come from Knox County KY clerk's marriage records i.e. a marriage to Obedience "Biddy" Wilson in 1912, to a Lu Hopper in 14 Feb 1918, & to Ollie Lawson in 1919. On the 1912 application, for number of marriages, the groom replied that this marriage was his "5th-- first 2 dead, 1 divorced & now marrying again." Underneath the word marrying is a note that says either "the 4th one" or "that one." Here are the dates & names that I have. 1st marriage= Elizabeth Hamblin Rose. Married 29 Nov 1868 in Whitley Co. KY. She died 1880. 2nd marriage: unknown woman, unknown date 3rd marriage =Obedience "Biddy" Wilson. Married 27 Oct 1883 in Cambell county TN. 4th marriage Polly Unknown. Listed on 1910 census with Jerry. Married 1901? (I had a note but the computer ate my source). 5th marriage= Biddy Wilson again. 25 Oct 1912 in Knox County KY. 6th marriage= Lu Hopper, on 14 Feb 1918 in Knox Co. KY. 7th marriage= Ollie Lawson 1 Dec 1919 in Knox Co. KY. On both of the Knox County applications that have information on them, Jerry gives his mother's name as Allie Carpenter (despite the fact that she was listed as Edy on the census). One certificate lists his father as Ensley Carpenter, but the last one lists him as Anderson Carpenter. Per usual, Jerry can't count or wanted to forget a wife or 2, but this does at least give a little more structure to his busy love life AND seems to confirm that his mother's name was Allie as opposed to Edy.

We are going to try this one more time, have been looking on the net since 1999. No hits at all... Our birth grandmother Willie Rozella Carpenter per adoption papers. Filed SEP 25 1934 Grady county, OKLA. No.927 Willie had my mom Mary Ellen whom she named at birth. Mary Ellen was adopted out at 2 weeks old.

Court Clerk Lillian Reynolds. Thanks, Larry & Sheri Miller [email protected]

It's a bit premature to try connecting this line with either Rehoboth or Providence Carpenters. It appears that Samuel Jasper Carpenter's parents were Peter and Julia Ann (Watson) Carpenter, both born in Kentucky; they married in Rush Co., Indiana, 4 March 1841 (1850 U.S. Census, District 97, Rush Co., Ind., p. 455; 1860, 1870, 1880 U.S. censuses, Union, Shelby Co., Ind., pp. 537, 351, and E.D. 205, p. 210D, respectively; Indiana State Library Genealogy Database: Marriages through 1850, online at _http://199.8.200.229/db/Marriages_results.asp_ (http://199.8.200.229/db/Marriages_results.asp) ). Although Peter was born about 1815, he was not a head of household in 1840. Gene Z. In a message dated 6/5/2005 4:00:25 P.M.

Title: A Journey through Carpenter Country. Limited to 200 books made, first edition, and signed by the author. THEY HAVE NAMES LISTED, as this seller does on most of their auctions in their store. I have purchased several from this seller and they are very helpful. the url is: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2980&item=5580147639 If that don't work you can go to ebay and do a search for item number: 5580147639 Might be worth a look, never know what you will find, it is a small world. Thanks, Jamie

As I mentioned I do not have my Bliss and Tilton books that deal with Rehoboth history. However, are not the Rehoboth town clerk records, other than vital records, edited and printed in Bliss, at least for the 1600s? Someone made reference to a FHL microfilm of these records. Isn't this redundant? Someone with access should sort this out. BC

In Texas now constables are elected. The county surveyor who does more than survey roads, is elected. But the surveyors for the Highway Department who do just work on roads are hired by the state. But I don't think our constables do the same job that constables in early New England did. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Greenwood" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2005 9:10 AM Subject: Re: [CARPENTER] surveys constables > Well said! > > But let's be sure not to confuse PhD with > Professor - they are quite different, as we've > seen. > > > > --- Patricia Hobson <[email protected]> wrote: >> Bruce Carpenter wrote: >> "Could Mr. Chandler show me an example of an >> elected constable?" >> >> But what good would that do?
