I am seeking information on Jesse Knight Carpenter. He was born in VT about 1794. I don’t know the identity of his parents but according to the census, his father was born in NY and his mother in NH. His wife’s name was Mary. I believe his children included John Knight Carpenter, born 21 May 1820 in NY; Mary M. Carpenter, born about 1829 in NY; and Elhanan W. Carpenter, born 13 April 1833. The family moved to Parke County, IN, about 1832. At separate times during the period of 1855 to 1860, Jesse and his wife, Elhanan W. and his wife, and Mary M. and her husband moved to Washington Co., IA. I believe that Jesse has a brother or cousin, William Carpenter, born 9 April 1793, who came to IN with Jesse. Warren King
