Finally!!!!! After weeks of useless prating, there is something good on this website! I will repeat what I have said before, that when you eggheads can tell me who Jeremiah Carpenter's father was and where Joseph Carpenter of Jackson River, VA, came from, then I will believer the fairy tales you tell about ancient English ancestors! PROOF PROOF PROOF No fairy tales please. Richard L. Carpenter a Carpenter researcher for the last 16 years.
