Dear Patti, I had no matches with a John Carpenter b. abt 1810 in MD. I did a search of John Carpenters b. abt 1810 and came up with 98 of them. None married an Emeline. (One Emily and another Ameila was the closest but families do not match) When you have more data, please let me know. Sorry I could not be of much more help. John R.
