African-American I am looking to find information on my Carpenter family. My Great Great Great Grandmother was Amanda Carpenter Tyree. She was born in 1838. She was married to Thomas Tyree born in 1835. They lived in Albemarle/Rivanna County, Virginia. They had many children but one was Nancy Tyree Smith who was my Great Great Grandmother. Nancy was married to James Tyree and they also lived in Albemarle County, Virginia. I recently got a restored 8x10 photo of Nancy Tyree Smith. That was such a blessing and act of kindness from a cousin of mine. I kissed the picture and studied her dress, glasses, hair style, fingernails, jewelry, etc. If anyone has any information about this family I would greatly appreciate you sharing. Thank You, Andrea Parrish Charlottesville, Virginia My Family Tree Includes: Parrish, Solomon, Wright, Lindsay, Harris, Mills, Johnson, Randolph, Murray, Magruder, Jones, Boykin, Gwynn, Burley, Goodall, Strother, Smith, Tyre/Tyree, Brown, Wheeler, Carpenter "Genealogy, life in the past lane"

Hi Jerry, I contacted a friend to see if there is a connection between your line and ours--some of our line went from Rockingham County VA to KY--mainly Lincoln Co. initially.

Hello, I am looking for a current e-mail of Donna Hellewell of Aptos, CA. Donna are you out there? John R. Carpenter La Mesa, CA

John L. in NH asked: "Can some one explain what it means to have a 10 cousin once removed. I have forgotten." This explanation requires two parts: the first is to explain what a 10th cousin is; the second is an explanation of a the "removed" indication. Simply put, look at your first cousins. You and your first cousins are descended from the same pair of grandparents. Your second cousins and you are descended from the same pair of great-grandparents. Your third cousins and you are descended from the same pair of great-great-grandparents. Continuing on back, you add one "cousin number" for each "great" in the link, so that you and your 10th cousins are descended from the same pair of great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandparents (nine greats). Therefore, "cousin number" = (number of greats) plus one. Got it? Okay, let's go on. Suppose your first cousin has a child. You and that child are "removed" by a generation. So you and your first cousin's child are "first cousins once removed" to each other. If that child has a child, i.e., your first cousin's grandchild, you and that grandchild are first cousins twice removed. Et cetera. Let's look at the original question. You have a 10th cousin once removed. Two cases arise: you and that cousin's parent are 10th cousins (the cousin is the child of your 10th cousin), or that cousin and your parent are 10th cousins (you are the child of that cousin's 10th cousin). In either case, the "once removed" occurs because you're displaced from each other by a generation. Note that this is the genealogical definition of cousins and removals. Anthropologists, for example don't use the "removed" at all and number the cousin relationships differently. (I've had some wonderful disputes with my brother, an anthropologist, about this very issue.) Furthermore, in some cultures, no matter how distant the cousinship is, a cousin is a cousin without all this numeric stuff. But we're talking genealogy here. So we'll use the genealogy definitions. If you're still confused, I'm sure that Rootsweb has an excellent explanation in its files. Hope this helped. Coralie J. Allen ggggg granddaughter of Isaiah Carpenter of Shaftsbury, VT

Hello, Here is a better chart. http://genealogy.about.com/library/nrelationshipchart.htm On both charts you need to project it out to the 10th cousin. The 10th cuz relation is from the 9th Great Grandson or Daughter. Once removed is from the 9th Great Grandson or Daughter's siblings. John R.

Iris, Those you identify as William and Jothan Carpenter (father and son) of Russia, Herkimer Co., N.Y., were actually Warren and Jotham, respectively. Warren's father, JOHN CARPENTER of Swansea, Mass., married at Tiverton, Mass. (now R.I.), 6 May 1722, SARAH HILLARD, born at Little Compton, Mass. (now R.I.), 28 June 1692, dau. of William and Deborah (Warren) Hill(i)ard, formerly of Hingham, Mass. (Amos B. Carpenter's volume fails to mention the Carpenter-Hillard marriage and confuses this family with that of another John Carpenter. For Hillard ancestry, the family of John and Sarah Carpenter, and those of their three sons [incl. Warren], see Victor Grant Hillard Jr., "William Hillard of Duxbury, Massachusetts," THE MAYFLOWER DESCENDANT 49[2000]:95-100, 51[2002]:120-22; Eugene Cole Zubrinsky, "Three John Carpenters: A Chain of Mistaken Identities," pub. pending [THE NEW ENGLAND HISTORICAL AND GENEALOGICAL REGISTER 159(January 2005)]; for parentage/ancestry of John Carpenter of Swansea, see Zubrinsky, "Three John Carpenters." Both articles cite primary sources.) WARREN CARPENTER, son of John and Sarah (Hillard) Carpenter, was born at Swansea, 26 January 1731/2, and died at Russia, Herkimer Co., N.Y., between 16 March 1813 (will) and 2 May 1815 (probate recorded [probate date not given]); he married at Swansea, 21 August 1755, REBECCA HORTON. JOTHAM CARPENTER, son of Warren and Rebecca (Horton) Carpenter, was 60-69 in 1830 (U.S. Census, Russia) and 70-79 in 1840 (U.S. Census, Lockport, Niagara Co., N.Y. [also res. Royalton, Niagara Co. (bro. Warren's widow Jerusha's Rev. War Pension File W16886)]); he married DORCAS ______, who died at Russia, 9 August 1825, aged 53. Gene Z.

Hi Carpenter list, Could someone tell me if there are any Carpenter books or anyone researching the Carpenter's of Herkimer County, NY. I found on the internet a small amount of information in The History in Russia, Herkimer County, NY. I'm researching William Carpenter 1743 died before 1815 + Rebecca Jothan Carpenter abt. 1770, died bet. 1840-1851 + Dorcas Nathan Millington Carpenter 11 Arp. 1816-1818 died 18 Dec. 1895 in Mercer Co. IL. + Amanda A.Welch I have information and photos' of Mannon Cemetery, New Boston Twp. Mercer County, IL. Son Hiram C. Carpenter is my grandfather. Thanks for any additional Information or suggestions. Would like to exchange inf. Iris

David, Thanks for the kind words. I always fear when I print something that readers will make conclusions not intended. I also think it is wise to document, document, document. The reader can go behind the researcher to determine whether the sources used are quality. Again thanks for the kind words.

Just for the record, Robert your book never confused me about Yelverton, and couldn't confuse any objective researcher. The tentative placement of Yelverton in your book is clearly noted as unproved. In remarking about bringing a higher standard for proof to Carpenter family history research, I should have gone on to say "on the internet." The problem is on the internet where people state relationships as though they are proved, when in fact they are not proved, and others pick it up and repeat it without sourcing their data. Your book is exceptionally well researched and you don't draw final conclusions without clear and documented proof. Researchers on the internet need to follow your lead, and clearly identify unproved placements. That's what Laurie is doing, and I'm sure we all hope to see more of that.
