Hi Betsy Looking at your Catherine Francis Carpenter. Not mine, BUT my major brick wall is a Catherine Capenter/Katherine Taylor mess! These may be the same women according to some, but they also may be different women according to others. One or the other or both married Lebbeus/Libeus/Gibeus FORDYCE/FORDICE/FOREDYCE/FOREDICE. One or both may have been mother/mothers/stepmother/stepmothers to Helen and Abigail FORDYCE/FORDICE/FOREDYCE/FOREDICE. Lebbeus/Libeus/Gibeus is father and or stepfather to one or both of these 1/2 sisters. SOS! Jeannie :) Publisher of The Jericho Wall Genealogy Newsletter.

I would like to add IMHO, I will be happy to get my line of Carpenter back another generation. I will leave the "earliest" history of some Carpenter line to others.
