Carl, my grandfather, Alva Francis Carpenter, was born in Genoa, Vernon county WI in 1863. He had two younger brothers, Robert and John, and three younger sisters, Louisa (married Van Vleet and stayed in WI), Mary Roxanna (married Lorenzo Dow Fox and went to MS), and Agnes (married J. O. Ferguson). My greatgrandparents came directly from Harmony, Chatauqua county, NY. John was born at Cameron, Steuben county NY in 1834. Don't know if this is a help or not, but I believe that some of John's siblings and first cousins also went to WI about the time he did (1861) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

A 1464 Patent Rolls document sheds new light on John Carpenter, Town Clerk of London. We can see that by 1464 he was deceased and that 1464 connected him to the ‘mercer’ trade, at least during his years in London. “ …..and all other lands thereto annexed, and all lands, rents and services in the parishes of St. Mary Wolnoth and St. Michael upon Cornhull London, sometime of Michael de la Pole earl of Suffolk, which the grantor had jointly with William Estfeld, John Fray then chief baron of the exchequer, Henry Frowyk, William Milreth, John Olney late citizens and aldermen of London, Hugh Dyke, John Carpenter the younger, Richard Ryche citizens and mercers, Thomas Walsyngham, John Wilton, Rodger Birkes, Thomas Dukmaton and John Kirkeby chaplain, all now deceased, by demise and feoffment of William Phelip, Thomas Tudenham (Todenham),knights, John Hampden and Thomas Haseley; Ralph Josselyn being mayor of London, John Tate and John Stone sheriffs. Witnesses: Thomas Cooke, Matthew Philip, Richard Lee, Hugh Wythe, Thomas Wenslowe. Dated London, 21 November 4 Edward IV.” May of the names read like a whos-who of London finance and politics of the time. Henry Frowyk appears in other documents with John Carpenter. Henry was once mayor of London and himself a prominent mercer. Thomas Cooke’s father Robert Cooke was associated with the Carpenter brothers during their draper days in Lavenham. The mercer connection here does much to explain Town Clerk John’s tenure as Town Clerk under Whittington’s tenure as mayor of London. Whittington was a mercer. Carpenter’s role in the formal mercer organization is well explained in vol. I of William Herbert’s THE HISTORY OF THE TWELVE GREAT LIVERY COMPANIES OF LONDON, pp. 226-7. Carpenter was a warden of the organization with a John Coventry and William Grove. These three figures together gained formal recognition of the mercers as a guild by the king, Henry VI. John Carpenter was in a sense a charter member of the mercer’s organization and their rise to prominence in London finance and politics. Herbert also alludes to a existing portrait of John Carpenter, still in existence by the 1800s. The mercers were largely retailers of wool cloth by about 1400. From that point on they also sold silks and velvets. Previous identifications of all three Carpenter brothers, and father Richard, with the wool cloth manufacturing business (draper trade), are by no means a contradiction. Multiple business connections in the period were extremely common. The Carpenters seem to have made wool cloth outside of London, and then retailed it within the city. It is not difficult to imagine them selling their own cloth, or even the cloth made from wool of their own sheep. Town Clerk John and his family members were entrepreneurs of the highest order. All of the above will begin to illuminate kindred groups and their activities outside the city into the late 1400s. One such group I have already discovered in Reading Berkshire. Bruce E. Carpenter

John -- You asked about Jeremiah Carpenter, born1799 in Salisbury New York. Where did he live out his life and what do you know about him?

Searching for Parents of Jermiah Carpenter born abt 1799 in Salisbury ,NY he Married Olive Case in NY . Anyone in touch with Leo & Ruth Bordeaux in Muskegon Mich ? John L. Carpenter Searching for Carpenter family decendants of William Carpenter of Providence, RI check my home pages at the following URL's http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/c/a/r/John-L-Carpenter/index.html http://expage.com/page/carpenterlinks http://homepages.msn.com/PicnicPl/jcarp45

Are there any Brits researching the Carpenters?I am trying to find the origin of Joseph Carpenter who married a Sarah Woodfield in the village of Harbury,Warwickshire on 27 December 1740.Trevor Carpenter.Perhaps one of our American cousins might have some cinnection?

Thanks to John R. for continuing to check from time to time for my Daniel R. I always consider very carefully the data sent. No connections so far but am amazed at the amount of info. out there on Carpenters. Thanks also to Carolyn and others who have so geneously responded to my pleas for help with my poor Daniel R. Carpenter, born 1813, NY, died 1866, MI. This week a woman who is a professional genealogist and distantly related to me called me at my office. She has 250,000 names in her data base. Now here's what I learned. Daniel and Sally's only surviving children William H. Carpenter and Cecil C. Carpenter married sisters. That I knew. They were Caroline E. and Maryette Van Nortwick. That also I knew. She and I are related through Caroline and Maryette's line which she has documented back to the 1100's. Apparently the family kept very good records and passed that as well as much memorabilia down through the family and she is now the custodian of same. (Can't wait to see it all.) Anyway what's of interest is that this Van Nortwick line goes back to a Cornelia who married four times. My distant cousin has documentation that shows that one of Cornelia's husbands & family (the Schenks) actually purchased (with beads) Long Island from the Native Americans. Another Schenk was a pirate. A little more colorful family then Daniels so thought I'd share it with all of you. Caroline was apparently born in Savannah, NY and parents were from Hudson, NY. Caroline and Maryette's parents came to Michigan and died right here in Lansing so I am wondering if Daniel R. has any connection to the Savannah, and/or Hudson, NY areas and maybe knew this family back there. I've been looking for Daniel R. in and around Chautauqua Co., NY. So if anyone has a Daniel R. from the Savannah or Hudson, NY areas let me know. It's a long shot but who knows. Thanks, Kris

While browsing through ancient English wills I came across a series of Carpenter related papers from the very late 1400s and up to 1544. They are very rich in social history. The people concerned seem likely related to the London Carpenters from a century before. The documents are from Berkshire’s Caversham near Reading. A consultation with a good map will show the area as not so far from London and approaching the Wiltshire area, the place so important for later Carpenter history. The first document is the usual real estate related, showing a Thomas Carpenter asserting his claim to “tenement” in the town of Reading in 1483. In later documents Thomas is revealed as a man of importance, as indeed he is the mayor of the town. In addition he is identified as a “mercer”, a maker and dealer of woolens and cloth of a very high quality. His real estate holdings and dispositions are many. A John Carpenter is mentioned. John’s relation to Thomas must be supposed because of his connections to the same property of Thomas at the later date of 1537. John is identified as a “husbandsman” and this we can perhaps assume meant the proprietorship of sheep. Reading was an area known for wool fulling mills at the time. Lastly in a 1544 disposition a son William is identified for John. Here we have all the familiar elements of the Carpenter montage-Johns, wool, politics, much real estate, cloth, Williams and sheep (from A DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE OF ANCIENT DEEDS, vol. I, 1890). Sincerely, Bruce Carpenter

Recently when C.A. Carpenter presented Gene C. Zubrinky’s fine article on the net, I was more than intrigued by it. Of particular interest to me was the Robert Carpenter data, which even a meticulous, family historian like Gene, finds “tantalizing”. Robert (b. 1494) I understand was a known sheep rancher who then put his children into trades. The whole area of Wiltshire and Hampshire had become an enormous sheep raising area for England, which then exported finished cloth. All through the late 1400s and early 1500s the population exploded, while private land (enclosure) found its way into fewer and fewer hands. Finally in the mid 1500s the wool and cloth market itself suffered a severe collapse. The resulting social conditions, as you can imagine, were pitiful with people with poor prospects wandering around in search of work. I was always puzzled by the father and son William, who were themselves trade carpenters, with a pattern of frequent change of address. My own study of the medieval Carpenter family convinces me that the previously known Carpenter Herefordshire line was just a part of a greater family, with many more members than was previously supposed. It seems to me that a great many Carpenters (if not most) in the Wiltshire/Hampshire region could easily have a family tie in the 1500s. Added to this is the traditional Carpenter connection to wool and cloth, a tradition the Carpenters brought to New England and one that some family members carried on. The apparent wanderings of the father and son Williams should not in any sense bewilder, but rather fit right into to the social history patterns of the 1500s. I think we need to abandon the traditional notion of a thin thread of Carpenters twisting its way back through time. At any rate, I hope to investigate this problem more. Sincerely, Bruce E. Carpenter

Dear Carolyn, The Carpenter CD Project will be distributed to various organizations 1- The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (The Mormons or LDS Church) to help correct the errors in the Ancestral File. 2- The Carpenter Museum in Rehoboth, MA for all Carpenter Researchers to use. They have also requested if they can use it as a fund raiser. 3-The New England Genealogical & Historical Society for their collection. 4- My local Family History Center and Genealogical Libraries. In addition several English Societies have requested copies as well as many individuals. I plan to produce a qaulity CD for everyone at the best price. I am hoping to get the CD out at cost (materials) if at all possible. I have not determined the best cost factor for creating the CDs. While it appears that having 1,000 copies made may be slightly more expensive than buying a CD burner and producing them to order. The quality and durability of a "burned" CD and homemade labels is a concern. If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate hearing about it. Sincerely, John R. Carpenter La Mesa, CA PS - I will also do a few hard copies of the data in book format with a alpha listing of all names.
