All I know for sure is that he was born in CT in 1799 or 1800, lived in Hanibel NY, and then Lima, NY before going to Michigan in 1832. He went first to Dexter where he started a Baptist church, then bought land in Salem in Washtenaw Co. and started another church there and in Plymouth. He died in 1856 and is buried in Oakland Co., Michigan and I have his will and the 1850 census which says he was born in CT. Some of his children claimed that this Eber's father was Daniel Carpenter and a Revolutionary soldier. I now have the pension papers for a Daniel Carpenter who came to Huron Co., OH from Oneida Co., NY. This Daniel's census indicates older sons but does not name them. I know all about Eber the NH doctor and Eber the Connecticut pastor and assumed that someplace down the line they were in the same Rehobath Carpenters so I have studied all the records, but this is the first possible ancestor I have found. Thanks for respondin! g to my posting.
