KBHine@aol.com wrote concerning << Page 354 of Ruttenber & Clark gives a partial description of the family of Leonard Carpenter of Newburgh NY. His father is given as "Benjamin Carpenter who was born in England in 1730" who came to L.I. initially, but resided at the end of his life in Marlborough in Ulster County NY. His wife is given as Jane Leonard, daughter of Silas Leonard, minister at Goshen. Two of Benjamin Carpenter's SIX children's names are given; Jacob and Leonard. Can you add to this outline?.... Who were this Benjamin Carpenter's parents in England? Did they really go FIRST to L.I.? Where on L.I.? Who were the other four offspring of Benjamin & Jane? Who were the offspring of Benjamin's son Jacob?>> Dear Robin, John Carpenter has an enormous, no not enormous, MIND BOGGLING, Carpenter data base. He is collecting material on Carpenter and plans an update of "The Carpenter Memorial." If you have a Carpenter question, John is certainly the one to ask. He sent me a color copy of the Carpenter Crest and my line practically back to God himself! Regards, Sharilyn John Carpenter <jrcrin001@home.com>
