Any of your Carpenter folks know of a Thomas Morgan CARPENTER, b. abt. 1780. Married Isabella ___ , b. 1785 in Virginia. Any hints appreciated. Jan

Does anyone have an Eli or Richard Carpenter who lived in Bennington, VT in 1830. Eli would have been between 40-50 (b. 1780-1790) years old and Richard would have been between 30-40 years old (b. 1790-1800). I need the names of their spouses(including maiden name) and children. Any info would be appreciated. Sheila

Hello CARPENTERS, Hope this email finds you & yours well. Phoebe and some of the rest of you are sure putting some interesting stuff on the list. Thanks! Re: MAPS I guess I should have paid attention in school to history. I just saw a map of the U.S. in 1810. At that time Alabama was then Mississippi Territory. AL was not a state until 1819. Also noted that Illinois and Michigan were part of the Indiana Territory then. Question ? Wills, land records, etc that transpired before 1819 in ALA, were they recorded as Mississippi? Thanks for any answers in advance, Donna Carpenter dcaguila@psn.net ICQ= 21109087 HOME PAGES: http://www.geocities.com/RainForest/Andes/4952/

Looking for info/parents of George Bradford Carpenter, b. 1842, d. 1914 who married Mary Elizabeth Covey, b. 7/6/1846, d. 1926. Have extensive Covey information back to England in 1535. GBC and MACC's child, Harriet Wells Carpenter was my great grandmother who married Theodore Julian Van Horn, a SDB minister. Their only child, Amey Doris Van Horn was my grandmother. She was born in Ashaway, RI, October 24, 1899. I would love to have this info since I'm trying to get a family history book ready for my father's 75th birthday on July 6th. Many thanks, Jan Robison Casselberry, FL

I am no expert on NY wills. I know that there are some earlier wills, including some Carpenter wills in the book, Long Island Source Records, and I have seen other very wills not in this series also.

This information was abstracted from abstracts of NY wills, microfiche #6046928 at the LDS Family History Center. There are several volumes and a separate index for each volume.

Aside from all the interst in finding ancestors, there is also sometimes difficulty in finding descendants of known ancestors. I would be interested in postings from anyone who has worked on this and may have suggestions. My own "missing descendants" are in the families descended from Joseph Reeves Carpenter (1861-1905). He was born in PA, but lived in Grand Rapids MI (296 Crescent Avenue) at his death (11/01/95). He was employed by the Stickley Brothers Company. He was the half-brother of my grandfather, both sons of Virgil Murray Carpenter of Pittston PA. JRC's wife was Manette Nichols Carpenter. They had three children; Manette Lansing Carpenter (1895-?), Joseph Griswold Carpenter (1896-?), and Mary Elizabeth Carpenter. The widow Manette Nichols Carpenter is listed in the Grand Rapids city directory up through 1917, but disappears in the 1920 edition; perhaps she died, perhaps she remarried, perhaps she moved away. Daughter Manette Lansing Carpenter married Edward A. Jewell in Grand Rapids on April 4, 1914. So, aside from the general descendant search question, does anybody know anything of these Carpenters?

Hi all. Greetings from Fife Lake, Michigan. I was in a second hand store in Traverse City, Michigan this weekend and happened upon two very old photos mounted on cardboard maybe around the early 1900's. Purchased them and am looking for their owners. I am posting the information written on the back in hopes that maybe someone may recognize their names and let me know. I will be glad to snail mail them to their rightful owners. The photos are in very good condition. Would also appreciate any help in passing this info on. Maybe we can be successful and sending these memories to their loved ones. Photo#1....... was taken at the Michigan Photo Company and is of two very young girls who appear to be under 5 years of age. The handwritten inscription on the back reads: Orphas Lessley Dawson January 24, 1894 and died July 1st 1957 Ora Wesley Dawson born December 15th 1894. Photo#2....... was taken at B.C.

I am looking for any information on Margaret L. Carpenter. She was born ca July 1861 in Mississippi. She married Colwell Brooks ca 1878, probably in MS. According to family tradition, her father was a Confederate soldier and her mother was a full-blood Cherokee. Supposedly, the family was moving out west when both the parents died. The oldest boy, perhaps named Noah, took care of his younger siblings and brought them back to their grandparents. According to the 1900 and 1910 census, she had 8 children, 4 of which must have died young. The 4 I do have records of are; Lula L. Brooks-born Sep 1882 in TN, died in childbirth ca 1905 in the Indian Territory or Oklahoma Olon Edward Brooks-born 18 Oct 1888 in Rockwell, TX Joseph C. Brooks-born Sep 1890 in the Creek Nation, Indian Territory, died in WWI Emma R. Brooks-born Jun 1893 in the Creek Nation, Indian Territory Her husband Colwell Brooks died ca 1897 in the Indian Territory. She seems to have married a man named Parks, of which I have no information. Prior to 1910 the family moved to Clark County, WA. Sometime later, she abandoned her family, and supposedly died in Nevada in the 1950's. I would love to hear from anyone who has any information on this family. Ed Bartlett

http://www.mdch.state.mi.us/gendis/index.htm MI Death records If you had trouble with the link, try the address. This is indexed so you can find it by Surename of the individual or Surename of the individual's father. This way you can find a married woman by her father's surename. Also you can access the lists by the name of the county. Some people had trouble with my link, maybe this will work better for you. Phoebe
