That is the information I have on Thomas S. Carpenter. I visited the cemetery where he is said to be buried, but the stones have deteriorated so much, I wasn't able to locate the grave. The following is the information that I have on Thomas and some of his direct descendents. I used the family tree maker program to generate this family tree report. Some spots you have you pay attention to what you are reading. All of the connections between these generations is 100 % accurate to the best of my knowledge. I used, wills, obituaries, marriage records, cemetery records, and death certificates to make the connection. I also have a copy of The Carpenter Family in America on CD. I didn't add that information to my family tree report because I haven't been able to check the accuracy of that information myself. Thank Dennis for listing that entry from the Carpenter Family in America. Does anyone have any additional information on Lewis Carpenter who was the father of Thomas S. Carpenter? All that is mentioned in the book is his name I believe. Generation No. 1 1.
