I am receiving the postings. I descend from Amos Carpenter, b. April, 1787 in Rensselaer (then Albany) Co., New York. DNA confirms that we match the Providence Carpenters. Amos settled in Granville, Ohio, then Columbus, Ohio. His son, Stephen Van Rensselaer Carpenter, and his brothers were builders in Columbus. Stephen's son, Van R., was my grandfather.
