Patti, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but your John R. Carpenter was not married to Eleanor Rosannah McChesney. She was married to John Ryburn Carpenter, born 2 Nov 1858 in Washington County Virginia. His Father was James Carpenter and his Mother was Margaret Ann Ryburn. His Grandfather was William Carpenter who moved to Wash. Co., VA from Louisa Co. VA sometime after 1824. I have John & Ella's marriage record and correspond with John's granddaughter who is 81 and remembers her grandparents. We have pictures of them also. I descend from John's Brother William Patrick Carpenter. I hope you find your family Betty
