Hello all, I have read with interest the Roade Island to MS discussion of Capenters. I have documentation of Jonathan and wife Margaret (Cash ?) Carpenter in Copiah County, MS on 23 March 1832. On that date they signed for an underaged daughter Temperance Carpenter to marry E. P. "Presley" Rucker. I will gladly mail photocopy of this court docuement IF someone can provide more data about my great-great grandparents Jonathan & Margaret (Cash ?) Carpenter. Any help would be appreciated. BTW the Carroll County Mississippi Carpenters are reportedly well researched/documented. I grew up in Montgomery Co, MS (adjacent to Carroll County MS) and knew of the large extended family. Reportedly, it was headed by a Carrollton lady Sarah Carpenter for many years. A well known Carrollton research is Better Wilshire who has published a history of that county.
