Bill: Where do you live? I would like to refer you to the Book "The Shoe Cobbler's Kin, Volume II, 1985" A genealogy of The Peter Eaker. Sr. Family of Lincoln Co., NC. He was the grandfather of Catherine Eaker Carpenter, Wife of Samuel, who left Rutherford Co., NC 1800 and moved to Barren Co. Ky where Samuel died. Catherine died in Allen Co. probably in the household of her only son, Samuel Eaker Carpenter. Samuel Eaker Carpenter m. Sarah Gray Downing, the sister of your Benjamin, Jr. There is a Downing Sketch in this book also that traces the Downings from Frederick Co., MD Census. Benjamin Sr. was killed by gunpowder on Sept 5, 1803. He had married Sarah Gray in MD. Catherine and Samuel had daughter Barbara m. Peter Shytle in NC and they are the progenetors of the Shykle/Shikle family in Cole Co. although Barbara and Peter both died in Allen Co.KY.; daughter Elizabeth m. Lanmon Short and lived in Cole Co.; daughter Frances Green Carpenter m. Enoch Enloe and lived in Cole Co. These families intermarried with many surnames in Cole and Moniteau Co. MO and are featured in these books. They can be found in most major libraries in MO and across the US.
