John: Let us clarify one essential matter. The results of the research I have conducted in the last few months is not "opinion". It is historical fact. When I complete this project and finally publish the results, it will completely redefine who this Carpenter family was, and in ways completely unknown and unsuspected by people like Raymond Carpenter etc. who largely failed to carefully study the problem. The credit (among a small group of people for sure) for having told a story close to historical truth will be mine. Bruce E. Carpenter professor
