    1. How do I connect to the right Carpenter family
    2. I can get back to Middlebury, Tioga, Pa. 1850 census. Betsy is listed as dwelling 116, family 120. Wife of Stephen A. Thompson. Civil War records for Martin Van Buren Thompson (her son) gives us this information also. How do I connect to the right Carpenter family. Same census list Jedediah Carpenter (age 74) and wife Sarah (age 72) as dwelling 121 family 125. Wouldn't you expect this to be her father. Also same census has Samual Carpenter also in dwelling 121 he is age 26 (grandson of Jedediah?) James Carpenter (age 45) is dwelling 122 family 126 Jedediah Carpenter (age 48) is dwelling is part of Locey, dwelling 85, family 89. (Alonzo Losey m. Maria or Mariah Carpenter) Elizabeth Carpenter Thompson is age 43. Looks to me that Elizabeth age 43, James 45, and Jedidiah 48 are all brothers and sister. How do I prove this? Thanks for any help you can give me. Juanita Thompson Prahl [email protected]
