Popped in LDS Family History Center, film No. 975565, had several Carpenters mentioned on some early deeds. I did not have the index, so could have missed some just jotted down the tiny bit of information that applied to each. June 1, 1836 John and Elinore Parry (or Perry) and Jacob and Mary Brown, Orion Township to POWELL CARPENTER of Wheatland, Monroe Co., NY Wit: Jesse Decker and Wm. Merchant. (This could be of interest to me, as my elusive Moses Carpenter had a grandaughter who married a Perry in NY.) Pg. 137-138 ------------- Afred Dauney(?) Orion, MI (not sure, surname could have started with an O, hard to read handwriting) same witnesses as above June 2, 1836 pg. 137 ---------------- Hiram and Rebecca Barns to POWELL CARPENTER Wit: Jesse Decker a d Thomas Head pg. 136 --------------------------- Vol 13 Oct 26, 1836 Samuel M. and Almira Goodwin Oakland Co MI to OSMUND T. CARPENTER and CHARLES A.CARPENTER of Oakland MI Wit: O.D. Richardson and John Runyon, Jr. pg. 52 (This one interested me too, because my MOSES CARPENTER married Elizabeth Runyon and she had a brother, John Runyon) -------------------------- Also found S.M. CARPENTER with a Miller and Piles as witnesses to a deed for Blumfield ? and Parkr 1836 ---------------- I am posting these here because I seldom see deeds listed in print, so hope this helps someone. Wanted to check these cats in the Carpenter Memorial, but it seems that my copy has run off and hidden from me, so maybe someone might! Phoebe in CA to POWELL CARPENTER
