I'm still trying to get past my John Carpenter born About 1802 New York. I can't figure out who his parents were nor can I find who his Wife was. Thought I would post this here never know. John Carpenter had 2 children both born on Fayette County Indiana. Dennis Carpenter born - 20 Jul 1832 Jane Carpenter born - 1837 The last place I found John was in the 1870 census records in Jasper County Iowa. Township of Independence. Our Family has taken the yDNA tests and we had 2- 36/37 matches but we just can't make any connections. I have talked to John R. Carpenter and he had a couple good ideas. My John Carpenter might have been taken in by possible another Carpenter family as a child? I'm Stuck! Any help is greatly Appreciated. Best Regards, Jim Carpenter
