Here's the full list of people who were legally notified of the probating of the will of my GGGgrandma, (Mrs. John) Mary O'CONNOR CARPENTER (b. ca. 1803 in Dublin, Ireland; died November 1, 1884; Wallace E. Burdick, executor): James CARPENTER, De Ruyter, NY (also given elsewhere as Dewer(?), Kingsbury Co., Dakota)--my GGgrandpa Samuel D. CARPENTER, De Ruyter, NY Adelia GARDNER, Sheds Corners, NY (also given elsewhere as De Ruyter) Alvin Foster, Pratts Hollow, NY (also given elsewhere in 1887 as Victory, NY) Ward Foster, Munnsville, NY (also given elsewhere as Stockbridge) George Foster, Munnsville, NY (also given elsewhere as Stockbridge) Adaline Brown, Munnsville, NY (also given elsewhere as Smithfield) Helen Gregg, Community, NY (also given elsewhere as Oneida Castle, Oneida Co.) Albert Foster, Port Byron, NY (also given elsewhere as Cayuga Co.) Andalusia Brown, Munnsville, NY (also given elsewhere as Stockbridge) Mary Englebright, Oshkosh, Wis. (also given as Mary Carpenter) Riley H. Breed, Dayton, Ohio Robie (or Roby) Thurber, Cambridege, NY (also given as Washington Co.) Mary Fuller, Cambridge, NY (also given as Washington Co.) Charles W. Sweet, Lawrence, Mich. I know the following about these folks: --Samuel D. CARPENTER is John and Mary's son (twice wounded in the Civil War) --John and Mary's son, James, married Eliza(beth?) Jane SWEET, which helps explain Charles SWEET. James took his family to the Decatur/Lawrence area of MI in about 1860, and James' eldest son, Francis Adelbert, remained when the rest of the family went to MN. Samuel spent some time with his brother, Giles, at Lawrence, MI, married there, then went to Wisc. for a couple of years, then returned to De Ruyter, where he enlisted in the 157th, was twice wounded, and farmed and looked after John and Mary in their old age. John and Sam had adjacent farms on Carpenter Road near De Ruyter and Sheds (Corners) --Adelia GARDNER is John and Mary's daughter. Who are these other people? I have names of John and Mary's kids and James' kids. If anyone has any information to share about any of these folks, I'd really appreciate it. (John and Mary CARPENTER had these children, not in this order: Clarinda, Robert, Susannah, James, Lucinda, Harmon, Giles, Samuel D., Adelia, Elizabeth, and possibly an older daughter we don't have in our records.) Thanks in advance! George --- George R. Carpenter carpgl@ismi.net
