Hello Robin, The John Carpenter appears to be RIN 21082 in the CE CD 2001. He was born 6 Feb 1796 in Minisink, Orange, NY. His son Levi Carpenter-21099 (b. abt 1832) is listed in the 1870 Census for Lumberland, Sullivan, NY. His father is Benjamin Carpenter-12760 and is number 309 in the Carpenter Memorial. Page 84. His family is on page 156 (#134). His grandfather is Col. Solomon Carpenter-4738 who is Number 75 in the Carpenter Memorial on Page 61. The above John Carpenter-21082 had a brother named James b. 6 April 1805 in Minisink. He would have been 11 in 1816. The above John Carpenter-21082 had an Uncle James Carpenter-12759 b. 1752 in Goshen, Orange, NY d. April 1817. (NOTE: This would match with, "James was also assessed in 1814, but not in 1818." James Carpenter-12759 had a son named James Carpenter-21074 b. 1788 in Goshen, Orange, NY but nothing more is known about him. I found only 1 of Col. Solomon Carpenter's descendants named Joesph that even came close to being alive at the right time. This is Joseph S. Carpenter-23416 b. 19 May 1815 in Amity, Orange, NY who was son of Solomon Carpenter-23412 b. 24 March 1768. OTHER POSSIBILES Joseph Carpenters ... I have a Joseph Carpenter-26996 b. abt 1776 in Newburgh, Orange, NY who is Number 331 in the book "The Carpenter Family in America" by Daniel H. Carpenter, 1901.No family listed. Probably settled in Palmyra, NY. I have a Joseph Carpenter-27042 b. abt 1765 in Newburgh, Orange, NY who is Number 333 in the book "The Carpenter Family in America" by Daniel H. Carpenter, 1901. No family listed. He died in New York City, unmarried. I have a Joseph Carpenter-49408 b. 15 Dec 1790 in Goshen, Orange, NY. E-MAIL: Tue, 27 Jun 2000 From: "Marcia Buffett" <[email protected]>To: "John R. Carpenter" <[email protected]>CC: "Ken Warkentine" <[email protected]> Dear John and Ken: Do either of you have anything on a Joseph C. Carpenter of Northville? He had a daughter Libbie who was married on March 31, 1880 to Harmon Fisher a barber in Northville.Thanks, Marcia NOTE: This Joseph had a sister named Rebecca whose first husband died in Northville. Was the Joseph C. above a descendant of this Joseph? I have a Joseph Carpenter-88893 b. 30 Sep 1783 in Chester, Orange, NY d. 21 May 1829 in Goshen, Orange, NY. He was the son of Jesse Carpenter-2688 who was Number 340 in the Carpenter Memorial on page 88. I hope this helps. John R.
