Hi everyone! This is a little long. First: I went back to the NM Special Collections library today that holds our Albuq. Gene. collection. I check on the Nicholas Carpenter who I thought I was helping someone last night but it turned out to be David son of Nathaniel C. Carpenter in Winnebago Co. ILL. This in in the book "The Pioneers of Winnebago and Boone Counties Ill who came before 1841" by Katherin E. Rowland, CG Gateway Press, Balt. 1990. It gives the birth of David, b. 9 May 1807 in Adams, Mass and died on 5 Mar 1897 in Rockton, ILL. He married 7 Mar. 1836 in Saratoga NY Julia M. Pettibone, b. 15 July 1814 in Stockholm, NY. daug. of Luman Pettibone and Almira Rudd. Julia died 28 Jan 1901 and both are buried in the Rockton Cemetery. It goes on and give the children: Luman N., Philip P., Anna Phildelia Lippett, an adopted daug. And birth dates. Also gives brother George Carpenter son of Nat. C. b. 11 Apr 1804 d. 28 Dec 1872 m. Phebe Crandall b. 1805 in Rensselear Co NY. d. 1906 at age 100. Both are buried at Rockton. George came with his father and other brothers and sisters in 1836. His children are: Francis, David Hudson, Martha Ann. The author quotes the Carpenter Memorial on Page 571 which gives George as # 3334 of Nathaniel #1554 0f Nat. # 607 of Ephraim #175 of Ephraim #42 of William # 18 of William #16 George's kids b. dates are in the Memorial but you can write me for those and for David's kids. Gives all of Nat's kids and his father's as well, all sited from the Memorial. Second: I also found a Carpenter book in the library done by a Miss Annie I. Carpenter called "Carpenters and Allied Families" printed by the American Historical Society, Inc. NY 1936. She used Daniel's and Amos Carpenter's books so it still has the Abiah and Abigail as twins which I am going to correct to baptismal dates. The last generation in the book is of Col. Cephas Warner Carpenter, son of Ira and Ester Ann (Luce) Carpenter. There is a beautiful portrait of Ira in the book and may be one of Cephas (not sure). Cephas was born in Moretown, VT 2 Aug 1832 and died in Deadwood, SD 10 Aug 1902. His children are: Annie Isabelle b. 13 Sept 1860 in St. Paul, Minn. Matthew Blanchard b. 10 Oct 1869 in St. Paul, Minn. He married Mabel Duss. He died 29 April 1928 in St. Paul. This is found on Page 32-33 of the above book. I hope this helps someone. Maybe George in MINN? Linda in Albuq. Searching for: Acton, Bailey, Bartle, Carpenter, Hannah, Hertzog, Hillary, Holland, Mackay, Matheson, Page, Reynolds, Ridenour/Reitenaurer, Shadwick, Stoner, Wollet.
