Dear Lynne, All I have is the data from the book called "The Carpenter Family in America" by Daniel H. Carpenter, 1912. My guess (a common occurance in those days) is that Urania and her husband took in or adopted "Carpenter Sisters" (Carrie, Emma & Marie). They were probably children of Leonard or Jacob. The adoption of the two boys may have been from one of Urania's sisters (unlikey due to known spouse names) or a step sister (more likely). If would be so kind to send me a GEDCOM of what you have on this line, I will send you what I have on the ancestors via GEDCOM. Sincerely, John R. Carpenter La Mesa, CA A.
