Bob, I think all of the books you sent to me involve the British Carpenter family which settled first in Massachusetts. They descend from a William Carpenter. Many of their descendants ended up in New York. I have seen reference to those books in the past. By the way I still have not had the opportunity to look at the Steffisburg parish book. Apparently it has not yet arrived. I am going to call tomorrow to check on its status.

MY COUSIN LEE SENT THIS AND I THOUGHT OTHERS MIGHT WANT TO READ IT TOO: ARBELLA PERKINS-EWING WAS 114 YRS OLD. Mrs. Ewing passed away recently in Dallas, Texas.

FROM MY NEW FOUND COUSIN JANETT - DESCENDANT OF JAMES WARREN & SARAH (Harlen) CARPENTER ----- Original Message ----- Sent: Saturday, March 22, 2008 2:10 PM Subject: Grover`s moument Well I just got back from Concord Cemetery [Clay Co AL]. My Grandfather Grover C. Carpenter Sr. now has a marker. It took 85yrs , but I am so thankful he now has one and I am certain it is in the right place where my mama told me he was burried. I took pictures I will send you a copy soon .. So please put it on your list he no longer is in an unmarked grave... Thats what sparked me to get this monument. When I read Grover C. Carpenter Sr. was burried in an unmarked grave at Concord. I said thats my grandfather and I A`int having it... Janett. _________________________ Janett's line: 1.
