Regarding Penny's info: "...John's children were Caleb, ...Caleb marries ...Rebecca Olds probably in Genesee County NY. ...Caleb and Rebecca had three children: Amasa Green, Charles and Rebecca J. ..." I am looking for an AMASA CARPENTER and any of his children. The Amasa I am looking for supposedly had a brother named ASA who may have been the direct descendent to me, rather than Amasa. Or neither of them may be who I am looking for. My line is certain (see below) from me to Alonzo (Elanson)my g.g.grandfather. But I have no definite proof of Alonzo's parents. Amasa is a "best fit" that one researcher found for us. If anyone can help especially with the NY to MI connection, it would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the length of this. According to the family history I received from a cousin, our line is descended from Wm. of Rehoboth who came to America in 1638 on the Bevis. Continuing the line (son to son) is: Samuel (b.1635?; d. ~1682, Rehoboth, MA) Samuel (b.1661, Rehoboth, MA; d.~1736, Rehoboth) Samuel (b.1684, Rehoboth, MA; d.aft.1721, Pomfert, CT) Samuel (b.~1716, Pomfert, CT; d.~1753/58 Pomfert, CT) Samuel (b.1757, Pomfert, CT; d.1798, Thompson, CT) *AMASA* (b.1783, Thompson, CT; d.aft. 1850, Sandy Crk. Oswego Co., NY) (AMASA's brother ASA is of interest too, since either one may be the direct relative to me. *Asa* b.1795, Thompson, CT; d.?) Alonzo (Elanson?) (b. 1812, Corinth Twp., Saratoga Co., NY; d.? m. Julia FORBES 1850, she died 1899 in St. Charles, MI) Cass (b. 1851, St. Charles, MI; d. 1925, Calhoun Co., MI; m. Czarina A. BUCKLAND 1877 in Chesaning, MI) Frank Isaac (b. 1882, Chesaning, MI; d. 1945, Sparta, WI; m. Catherine Pommerich in WI) Clarence Frank (b. 1922, Longwood Twp, Clark Co., WI; d. 1995, Abbotsford, WI) Mary Cathryn (ME!) (b. 1960, Abbotsford, WI; presently living in Flagstaff, AZ) I am also looking for Frank's brother John, who moved to British Columbia, Canada. Born Sept. 1880, St. Charles Twp, MI; d.Oct. 9, 1940 in either Smithers, B.C. or "Pacific B1", B.C. Thanks! Mary Carpenter _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
