I received this email, and I thought that perhaps someone had heard of these Carpenters. They were in Drew Co., AR in late l800's and early l900's.BETH THURMan >From: "John Haisty" <jhaisty@tcac.com> >You have Carpenter in your surnames. How are you tied to the Carpenters? >Are you related to Avery Byron Carpenter who married Samantha Louisa Harvey? >Two of their girls married two of Pop's brothers. Nora Carpenter married >Carroll and Sallie Carpenter married Jesse New Year. One question that we >can't solve is: where is Sallie Carpenter Haisty buried? She died when >their daughter Vera was 18 months old. On Jesse's family sheets, his >granddaughters put down that she is buried in Paradise Cemetery in >LOUISIANA. Well, Jesse did move to LA, but just what year I don't know. >Bern believes that she is buried in Paradise Cemetery in Drew Co. There are >lots of Carpenters there. Maybe her stone has disappeared. Jesse and his >second wife Kitty Williamson are buried at Mt. Olive. Maybe you can tell me >more about the Carpenters. If you have seen a picture of Avery Byron and >Samantha Louisa, could you identify them? Essie, granddaughter of Jesse >sent me a laser copy of a picture that Vera had with no identification on >it. Essie and her sisters have no idea who the people are. Stan and I >believe that it is the Phillips family - Chesley and Rhoda and their family. >I have talked with several in the same Carpenter family - Lolita Sedberry >Price, for instance. Her mother was Vienna (Vianne) Carpenter Sedberry who >lived down the street from Mom and Pop at Crossett. Lolita said that they >weren't around Vianne's sister's families much. She doesn't recognize >anyone in the picture. A given is that one of the men is a Haisty. Either >John Wesley or his son Jesse. Stan and I believe it to be J. W. and his >wife Martha Mahala "Halie" Phillips. If you can help me find someone who >might recognize any of that Carpenter family, I would appreciate it. >Carolyn If anyone recognizes these names, I'd like to hear. BETH THURMAN terrilee@ipa.net
