Thank you very much! This group of Carpenters is one that I'm interested in. Benjamin and Finley were sons of Richard Eden Carpenter, who was a son of Austin and Catherine (Scott) Carpenter, and Austin was son of Benjamin and Mary Carpenter who came from King & Queen Co. VA to Amherst Co. VA around the time of the Revolution, according to family legend. I'm not sure about the more recent folks, most of my information is on the early generations so far. If anyone knows how they tie into the Carpenter family that was up around Piney Mountain and Thrashers Creek, I would like to hear from you.
