I am forwarding this to the list. Please reply to Sam Carpenter if you can help him and not to me. Debbie Jennings debj@comsys.net "Following the footprints through time" -----Original Message----- From: Sam Carpenter [mailto:scarpenter@sympatico.ca] Sent: Wednesday, August 30, 2000 6:37 AM I have been frustrated by a lack of success in finding information about my grandfather, Maynard A. Carpenter and his siblings and antecedents. I have a copy of his marriage certificate and his Bill of Divorce as well as my father’s birth certificate. There appears to be some confusion as to his given name(s). The marriage certificate identifies him as “M.A.” Carpenter, the Bill of Divorce as “Mirra A.” Carpenter and my father’s birth certificate as “Maynard George” Carpenter but I believe these to be the same person. In addition, I have a listing of grave stone inscriptions showing M.A. Carpenter sharing a stone with Ira E. Greenwood in row 24B, stone No. 16 in Hillside Cemetery, Richford. This listing shows his date of birth as 1858, which corresponds to his age on the marriage certificate. It shows his date of death as 1934. In addition, I would like to find out about my grandmother’s second husband whose last name was Rushford and about whom I know nothing further. I would be very grateful for any assistance about my relatives which you could provide. Sincerely, Sam Carpenter
