I am searching for the parentage of my GGG grandfather, Yelverton Carpenter. He was: born in 1774 in Johnston County N.C.; married Hannah Allen on March 26, 1793 in Pendelton County, N.C.; died in Claiborne County Tennessee on June 27, 1848. In all probability he was not a knight or wine merchant, but was probably just a hick moonshiner that might have sold some of his whisky at (k)night. He probably is of no importance to anyone else but me. Who knows, he just might be a direct descendant of Ole' John what's his name. I have just turned my attention to my Carpenter line, and have accumulated very little information. Thanks in advance for any information. Ernie Ernest W. Smith Glenn Heights, Texas
