Dear Listers, I am looking for relatives of Benjamin MOORE and Lois COREY, Their daughter, Abigail Moore married John CARPENTER 1779. They lived in Orange Co. for a while then moved to Onondaga co. After John Carpenter died she married Hezekiah Woodruff. (An old Orange co. morgage names Abigail Woodruff as the dau of Benjamin Moore.) John Carpenter's reported brother was Moses Carpenter who married Elizabeth Runyon, Daughter of Richard and Anne (VanCourt) Runyon of Morris Co (1774) first, then Hannah Smith of Orange Co. second. They, too, moved to Onondaga Co. Elizabeth Runyon Carpenter, dau of Moses married James Wisner of Orange Co. 1788 and died about 1810. He remarried a Hannah Moore b. 1777 (according to our family records and had two sons: Benjamin and John). Question was Hannah somehow related to Benjamin Moore? (She would have been a daughter in law, probably.) Next item: James Wisner, (Husband of Elizabeth Runyon CARPENTER) became the guardian of children of Thomas Corey: Salley aged 10, Lucinda aged 14, and Wm aged 12, in Onondaga Co. in 1809. Does anyone know who these children were? Were they related to Lois Corey who married Benjamin Moore? I have a copy of the book, the Carpenter Memorial which lists Moses and John as brothers, and I am trying to validate the information in the book regarding this family.
