Penny, Richard & John in NH There was a period of time, 10-20 years ago when I was in a work situation which was very favorable to accomplishing genealogical research. During those years I did considerable research in West Virginia, including in Nicholas County where the deed records contain the information establishing that Resina was the daughter of Jeremiah of Elk Creek. Now I'm working for Chicago Title and managing an office here in Champaign, IL, and have precious little time for genealogy. I did get a chance over this holiday weekend to dig out some of my records, and so, here goes. Jeremiah Carpenter settled in Elk Creek in what at the time of his settlement was Randolph County. Later, by the time of his death, that area was in Nicholas County, and now, in Braxton County. He acquired a vast number of real estate parcels during his life, and after his death, his children disposed of at least some of it by deeds recorded in Nicholas County, as I said above. These deeds, some of which I've seen, uniformly recite that Jeremiah had 12 children. One such deed, found in Deed Book 7, at page 35, was from Amos Carpenter and Joseph Carpenter, dated 29 February 1856, conveying their interest in particular land, plus the "interest of Resina Gilpin, formerly Resina Carpenter, another of the children of Jeremiah Carpenter, dec'd, said interest having been conveyed by Resina Carpenter and husband to Joseph Carpenter by deed recorded in Braxton Co." I believe this establishes without a doubt that Resina was a daughter of Jeremiah! While I have copies of some of the deeds from the children in Nicholas County, I do not have them all, and I have not researched in Braxton County. This is a project I would love to take on, establishing from these deeds the exact identity of Jeremiah's children. My connection with this family is this: My great-great-great grandfather, James Schoolcraft, married Mary Carpenter in Harrison County, (W)Va in 1795. Some researchers have said she is a daugher of Jeremiah, but if so, so would have to have been born of a prior marriage. It is also possible she was a sister of Jeremiah. In any event, James Schoolcraft is listed on the Randolph County personal property tax lists next to Jeremiah after 1795, and they named their first son, Jeremiah. The Carpenter, Bickle, Schoolcraft, Forrest, and McGlaughlen families appear together on the Randolph County tax lists and then later in Ohio, except for my ancestor who may have gone to Kentucky about 1803. Amos Carpenter and Jacob Bickle appear there through 1805. John Forest and John McLauglin appear with Jeremiah on the lists in 1806. In 1812 Amos Carpenter, John Forest and James Forest appear on a tax list in Rutland Twp, Gallia County, Ohio. In 1818, the tax list for the same township includes Jacob Bickle, Amos Carpenter, James Forest, and John McGlaughlen. Although I don't have the census copies, my notes indicate that the 1820 census of Ohio includes Amos Carpenter and James Forest in Rutland Twp, and John Forest, in Scipio Twp, all in Meigs County My conclusion is that Amos Carpenter, who very probably was a brother of Jeremiah of Elk River, moved to Ohio from Elk River in the period 1806-1808, along with John Forest who had married a daugher of Jeremiah, Jacob Bickle, who was Amos's brother-in-law from his first marriage, and some of the McGlaughlins, Amos's in-laws from his marriage to Margaret. Very possible Jeremiah bankrolled the entire venture to Ohio. John Forest's estate appears in Meigs County, Ohio, and Resina Forrest and Samuel Downing were appointed administrators on 8 April 1830. Jacob Bickle was one of the sureties on the Administrators' Bond. By 9 August 1831, as evidenced by court documents, Resina's surname had changed to Cooper. My connection with this family, as I mentioned above is with Mary Carpenter, and I would like to know any information you may have about her. Interestingly, James Schoolcraft must have had some falling out with the Carpenter/Forest families, for according to a legal notice in the Scioto Gazette on 26 September 1810, an attachment issued against the property of James Schoolcraft in a suit brought by Jeremiah Carpenter for the use of John Forest. The marriage of John Forest in 1806 in Randolph to a Carpenter girl, is interesting. At one time I saw the original record, and thought I had made a copy of it. For some reason I can't now find it. The name of this girl appeared to me to be Lydia, not Lyhua, and she is said to be a daughter of Jere (Carpenter). We know from the deeds that Resina was the daughter of Jeremiah, and that she was the widow of John Forest. At least I believe we know she is his widow. Therefore Resina's "formal" name may have been Lydia, or it's possible he married Lydia and Resina, both being daughters of Jeremiah. My guess is, based on the timing of the marriage, that Resina is one and the same person as Lydia. The deeds after Jeremiah's death may hold the key. Hope this helps. I'd be very happy to correspond further on this family!! Have a happy holiday weekend!! Dennis Rodgers BTW, John, where do you live in NH? Wife's family is from Manchester, and we lived in Concord for a couple of years. ("Monad" must be short for "Monadnack.")

I would like to find out where Mary Rebecca Carpenter was born in N C and who her parents and siblings were. I know she was born in 1800 according to the 1850 census in Ms where she was with husband James Willis and family. They were in Tishomingo co and I think Prentiss co . They died somewhere there in probably the 1870's because they weren't on the 1880 census. They had a xon Daniel about 1820 in N C . This is all I know about them. any help will be appreciated.

Looking for family line of Arthur DeVere Carpenter, b. 1867, married Grace Murdock. I believe he was from New York. He was a lecturer on the Chautaqua circuit. They had six children - Devere, Bernar, Elizabeth Helene, Herman, and Harry. Joyce TASJCS@AOL.com

Since Jeremiah Carpenter left the Botetourt area several years earlier, I can't put much validity on this court case, since there were several Solomons and possibly several Jeremiahs.

I am seeking any information available on my great-grandmother, MOLLIE REBECCA CARPENTER, b. June 19, 1866 (in Arkansas?); d. Oct. 23, 1934 at Pine, Camp Co, TX.

Want to prove or disprove that my Caleb Carpenter lived in Halifax, Windham Co., VT in 1800. My Caleb m Rhoda Dyer.

Elizabeth Hamm on 18 March 1785 he died past the 1830 Census of Randolph Couty, Va. Jeremiah was Identfied as a son of SOLOMON CARPENTER in a court case of 5 May 1791 in Augusta county,Va." any comment on this ? He has Yor William children listed under Solomon

----- According yo Paul T Mowery's Book " The Author does not concur with many Carpenter family historians on the make up of Jeremiah & Elizabeth (Hamm) Carpenter's dozen children. Many list a Rosina Carpenter , who married a John Gilpin as one of there older daughters. It is far more likely that this Rosina Carpenter is part of the Nickolas & Christopher Carpenter (nee Zimmerman) lineage. The Joseph Carpenter, who married Sinah Gillespie 15 DEC 1795 in Ohio County,Va. and is said to be a son of Solomon Carpenter, is another similar situation. These Carpenters were apparently of german Ancestry and are frequently confused with the Scoth- Irish Carpenters.
