Here's a follow-up on the finding of Noah Carpenter's grave stone in the Case Cemetery on the Sarah Wells Trail in Goshen: I find several entries for the baptisms of several of Noah Carpenter's children in Coleman's "Early Records of the First Presbyterian Church at Goshen." Here they are: Noah, born Aug 25, 1777; bapt Oct 25, 1777 Joseph, born Jul 16, 1779, bapt Aug 29, 1779 Mary, born April 11, 1782, bapt June 16, 1782 William, "son of Noah Carpenter & Unice his wife" b. Dec 10, 1784 bapt Oct 16, 1784 (Bapt SAME DAY; Birdseye Case, son of David Case, b. 8/1/1785) Edward Ely, bapt Aug 5, 1825 William Belknap, bapt Nov 1, 1828 Virgil Case, bapt Aug 10, 1833 Margaret, bapt May 2, 1835 Mary Elizabeth, bapt May "4 & 5" 1839 The top four entries have no explicit Case connection...but the baptism of son Noah on same day with Birdsey Case is suggestive. Does anyone know whether elder Naoh's wife "Unice" was a Case girl? The latter five entries are a full generation later than the first four, and 4 of the 5 children have middle names. These differences suggest that these five are the offspring of the SON Noah who was baptised in 1777. The mother of Virgil Case Carpenter was probably a Case, we can assume. Also, the names Virgil and Belknap appear in the Case Cemetery. (Belknaps were numerous to the northeast of Goshen, and Newburgh and New Windsor.) There is also an entry, under "Register of Members" section, listing "Noah Carpenter, from Newark, May 26, 1804." (Does anyone here know what "Newark" that would mean? Newark NJ?) It's hard to know if this was a "new" Noah Carpenter entering Orange County, or what. Robin
