Introduction. 
 
 Very few people have the slightest idea of the labor entailed in compiling an honest gen- 
 ealogical work. We can readily believe the statement that not one-half of our American peo- 
 ple can trace back beyond their grand-parents. Ask the middle aged business man for the 
 maiden name of his grandmother, and the chances are that he cannot give it. Yet, very 
 probably, this same man has at his country-seat, a favorite horse or a herd of Jersey cattle, the 
 pedigree of which he has carefully written down and can descant upon by the hour. 
 
 John Quincy .\dams once said that he would rather have one drop of Puritan blood in 
 his veins than all the blood that ever flowed in the veins of kings or princes. And, our New 
 England families may well be proud of their ancestry, whether they descend from Plymouth, 
 Boston or Providence plantations. Yet, how few there are who have cared to do the neces- 
 sary work that enables them to claim relationship to the mothers of 1620, 1630 and 1638. 
 
 A little more than a half century ago the compiler of this work, then just arrived at his 
 majority, set out from his Vermont home determined to ascertain from whence he came. 
 " Probably had he foreseen ' the lions in the waj' ' he would have turned back and ' got rich,' 
 rather than gone on and ' got honor.' " It takes just such a man as this to make a thorough 
 genealogist, and the world and history would have lost very much had any temptation been 
 strong enough to have turned him aside from his self-set task. \\'ith staff in hand, and but 
 little scrip in pocket he made his way from town to town, stopping at every hamlet where he 
 had heard of one bearing the name of Carpenter, — making note of every Bible record and 
 every tradition or memory of his host concerning his particular family, — then away to the 
 county-seat, gathering there each recorded item from the records of land evidences or probate 
 court, and not forgetting to copy the silent memorials of the church yard. 
 
 He tramped through Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Long Island, New York, 
 Connecticut, New Jersey and Philadelphia. He has told me that many times the orchards 
 furnished him a dinner, and at other times his breakfast was a baker's cake or a few crackers. 
 Nothing could daunt such a spirit as this. Only success could be expected as a return for the 
 deprivations and discomforts attending the undertaking. 
 
 Again he is at his home ; the memoranda and data which he has gathered on his journey- 
 ings is the occasion for a correspondence reaching out to nearly every state in the Union. 
 And, not satisfied with this, his queries into the history of the family across the Atlantic, and 
 for him searches were made in London, Amesbury, Salisbury, Wales, Scotland, and even 
 Ireland were not overlooked. Year after year additions were made to his already large accu- 
 mulations of manuscripts and proofs ; and we doubt if any other man ever had a greater mass 
 of evidence regarding a single family than had our compiler after his fifty years of gatherings. 
 It would appall the stoutest heart to undertake the codifying and arranging of this history of 
 three centuries. Yet, he who gathered in early manhood, now in his 77th year, has sifted 
 and condensed this accumulated material, and in a masterly manner shows at a glance the 
 origin of the family in England, its coming to America, its present home in every state, its 
 dwellers in humble cottages or princely mansions, found on the farm or in the factory, at 
 the college and in the pulpit, lawyers, legislators, authors, teachers, physicians, tradesmen, 
 inventors, — all numbered among the tens of thousands who here can distinctly trace their 
 
■VI- CARPENTER MEMORIAL. 
 
 pedigree to that eminent puritan, William Carpenter, who in the year 1638 came to America 
 in the ship " Bevis," settling finally at Rehoboth in the colony of Massachusetts. 
 
 All honor to the persevering and faithful historian who has so clearly depicted these 
 ■events. I need say no more ; the book before you will tell the rest.

 P. S. The author of the memorial on searching the records found that there were two 
 "William Carpenters who, about the same date, made settlement in America. The one at 
 Rehoboth, Mass., and the other at Providence, R. I. That they were related he feh certain, 
 but how near he could not then see, so he continued to follow out both lines with equal care. 
 
 Some 25 years ago, finding I was much interested in the family history and was of the 
 Providence line, he most generously gave me all of his memoranda and data for my use in the 
 further tracing of that line, 
 
 I regard that gift beyond price, for without it 1 would not have been able to find the link 
 that binds our two families together, nor have been able to give so many of the descendants of 
 William Carpenter of Providence as now appears in my history of that family. 
 
 I am sure every member of the Providence line will join with me in hearty thanks to the 
 author of the Memorial for the work done and for his generous gift to us. 
 
 Daniel H. Carpenter. 
 
Preface. 
 
 I am pleased to acknowledge the generous offer of the foregoing introduction from a 
 descendant of the Providence branch of the Carpenter family, Daniel H. Carpenter of Maple- 
 wood, N. J. My preliminary research to secure an accurate and reliable record of the family, 
 commenced more than half a century ago, convinced me of the relationship that existed 
 between the two William's, viz.: William of Rehoboth and William of Providence, and although 
 I had pursued the search with equal devotion to obtain the records of both families, my data 
 was then in vague form, and it is due to the untiring efforts of Daniel H. Carpenter, that the 
 genealogy of the Providence branch is now ready for the press. He is deserving the unquali- 
 fied support of each and every member of the Providence line, for putting the data I gave 
 him into shape and form, and subsequent devotion and labor bestowed upon his task. 
 
 It is not an inexpensive undertaking to carry out genealogical research, even within our 
 own borders, and the cost has been greatly increased in tracing the origin of the Carpenters 
 back to their English home. I was exceedingly fortunate in securing the services of the late 
 John P. Jaynes, Esq. of New York city, who made the most careful and conscientious investi- 
 gation for me, throughout the counties and towns of England, where the Carpenter family had 
 origin. 
 
 The records and documents, some of which I have reproduced in the body and appendix 
 of this volume, are convincing that the remote ancestor of the Rehoboth Carpenters and their 
 descendants, was the John Carpenter, born prior to A. D. 1300, and it is peculiarly gratifying 
 to be able to claim kin-ship with a man of such exalted philanthropy and worth as John Car- 
 penter, once town clerk of London, the younger brother of John Carpenter, from whom the 
 Rehoboth family are descended. In the appendix may be found a fuller and more complete 
 account, taken from the records, and from extracts of letters from John P. Jaynes, Daniel H. 
 Carpenter and the Rev. A. C. Stuart. 
 
 The blood that has filled the veins of a family from Richard Carpenter, through John, 
 his son, a brother of John, the town clerk of London, for 15 or 16 generations down to the 
 present, is more to us than the lineage of kings and princes, and the honor of kin-ship witli 
 that noble man, who stands at the head of the civilized world in education. William of 
 Rehoboth, William of Providence and Samuel of Philadelphia, were all educated men, and 
 probably educated at the Carpenter Free School. 
 
 It is generally believed that the Rehoboth family emigrated from Whorwell, now Where- 
 well, Hampshire county, England, but there is no evidence that a family by the name of Car- 
 penter ever lived at Whorwell for any length of time, and the fact that the records of the 
 ship clearance papers, in the clerk's office were withheld until the ship " Bevis " was out to sea, 
 and all the circumstances connected with his departure from London, compels the conviction 
 
CARPENTER MEMORIAL. 
 
 that William Carpenter found it necessary for his personal safety, to leave London where his 
 father resided, and that he selected the quiet place of Whorwell, until he and his family could 
 emigrate to America. 
 
 It will be easily understood that in collecting material for this work, or in tracing records 
 through many centuries, combining the old and new methods of reckoning, discrepancies and 
 conflictions are sure to appear, but the reader can rest assured that after a careful examination 
 and sifting of dates, names and records, the utmost reliance may be placed upon my patient 
 and persistent endeavor of more than 50 years. I now place it before the public, hoping 
 whatever inaccuracies may be discovered in it necessarily occurring in a work of so extended a 
 character, may be received in the spirit in which it has been prepared ; the defects must of 
 necessity become fewer, as each family represented will take a personal interest in the geneal- 
 ogy and seek to correct all such errors. Nearly all of tha war records were taken from 
 official records and all I believe to be correct. 
 
 Should a future edition be demanded, I trust each family represented in this volume will 
 take a personal interest to communicate with me, that defects and omissions may be corrected 
 and supplied. In this connection, I cannot permit the opportunity to pass without acknowl- 
 edging the many favors and prompt and interested responses which I have received from all 
 the Carpenter family. I wish to thank each one, and would be pleased to mention each by 
 name, did space allow.

 EXPLANATORY. 
 
 The American ancestry commences with William, the father and progenitor of the Car- 
 penter families that are recorded in this Memorial. He was born in England in 1605, and 
 settled and died at Rehoboth. He is No. 16, and left seven children, viz.: John No. 17, 
 William Xo. 18, Joseph No. 19, Hannah No. 20, Abiah No. 21, Abigail No. 22 and Samuel No. 
 23. The descendants of each of the five brothers are carried to the one to whom they belong, 
 by the index line in this record, the first line being under the head of the family. 
 
 The families are taken by generations in their order, commencing with the children of 
 John, and closing the generation with the children of Samuel in each generation, and until 
 the transient families are reached, they appear in the order received by the compiler. 
 
 The children of the sons are numbered by the Roman characters, and the children of the 
 daughters are numbered by the Arabic numerals. The individual members of the family are 
 numbered in their order, commencing with William No. 16, down to the last name recorded, 
 and will be found in the left hand column, and the families are numbered in the same way, 
 from No. 7 in the same regular order, to the last family recorded. 
 
 The numbers will be found at the head of the family in the center of the page, and the' 
 figures at the extreme right represent the number of the family of the person named on the 
 line upon which the figure rests. Additions and corrections will be found by the correspond- 
 ing numbers on page 833. 
 
CARPENTER MEMORIAL. ix. 
 
 The numbers contained in the left-hand column indicate the individual numbers of the 
 members of the family. 
 
 The full face figures in parentheses ( 133) at the extreme right give the number of the 
 family in which the father will appear as the head. 
 
 The name of the father of the family will be found directly underneath its number and at 
 the right of the father's name will be that of the grandfather, the numbers attached to each 
 name being the same as w ill be found in the individual column. On the line below will be 
 found the father's line of ancestry, with the individual number, thus giving the line back to the 
 five brothers, sons of William No. 16. In the next line below will be given the number of the 
 generation, the number of the children and where they were born, if known. 
 
 Only the father's name is given in full in any family. 
 
 The first individual and family numbers appearing on any page are repeated at the bot- 
 tom of the same page. 
 
 The figures following a name represents the individual number.

English Ancestry. 
 
 From the meagre materials at hand it is impossible for us to establish with that degree 
 of precision we should like, the connection between the English Carpenters and William, the 
 ancestor of the family in America, who came to Weymouth, Mass., in 1638, in the ship 
 " Bevis." But we think we have information enough to show beyond a reasonable doubt that 
 the break of a hundred years or so between John Carpenter, Sr., (a brother of John the Town 
 Clerk of London), and ^^"illiam who is acknowledged to be the ancestor of the American family, 
 can be satisfactorily filled. This granted, we can trace the family back to John Carpenter of 
 1303, the head of the ancient line in Herefordshire, in the parish of Dilwyne, to whom the 
 Irish Tyrconnels trace their descent. This Hereford family of Carpenters was very prominent 
 in affairs and took an active part in all matters relating to the interests of the Crown ; probably 
 no family in England stood higher for good deeds or received more favors. Among the most 
 famous of these Carpenters was John, Town Clerk of London, who died in 1442. But the 
 English line from John Carpenter, 1303, became extinct in 1853 and it is in America that the 
 continuation of the family must be looked for. 
 
 THE HOMME AND TYRCONNEL CARPENTERS. 
 
 "The noble family of Carpenters from which the Earl of Tyrconnel is descended, is of 
 great antiquity in the County of Hereford and other parts of England. In 1303, (the 20th 
 year of the reign of Edward I.), John Carpenter appeared. He was a member of Parliament 
 in 1323, for the Borough of Leskard, in Cornwall, as two years afterwards was Stephen Car- 
 penter, for Crediton, in the County of Devon, in 1325, (the 19th year of the reign of 
 Edward II.) 
 
 " Henry Carpenter served, in 1418, for the Town of Derby, in the 35th year of Henry V." 
 — Playf air s British Antiquities. London, 1810. 
 
 The Tyrconnel Branch is descended from William Carpenter of Homme, who resided in the 
 parish of Dilwyne,in Herefordshire. Hediedin 1520. Hehad a son James who died in 1537. 
 This James had a son John who died in 1 5 40 and left a son William, the most prominent ancestor of 
 theTyrconnei Carpenters, who died in 1550. From this William our family also claims descent. 
 The family now remained country gentlemen for six generations, till the birth of Thomas, who 
 bequeathed his estate on his death in 1773, to a second cousin George, who became the first 
 Lord Carpenter. In 1 761, the Earldom of Tyrconnel, in Ireland, was given to a 3d George 
 Carpenter. This branch finally became extinct in 1853. — See Davis and Owen's New Peer- 
 ige, Vol. III., p. 108 ; London, 1778 ; also Burke's Peerage and Baronetage.

CARPENTER MEMORIAL. 
 
 Before commencing the genealogical record the compiler will give extracts from a bio- 
 graphical sketch of the life of John Carpenter, Town Clerk of London, adding a copy of 
 his will and the will of Katherine, his wife. There will also be added a copy of the will 
 of William Carpenter of Cobham to whom the Greyhound Coat of Arms was granted in 1663. 
 The compiler claims that these persons are directly connected with the English line of the 
 Rehoboth branch of the family. 
 
 We think mention should be made here of another John Carpenter. We have no record 
 of his parentage nor of the date of his birth and are therefore unable to determine his exact 
 relation to the family of Richard. There was a close friendship existing between this John 
 and John Carpenter, Town Clerk, and they were associated in the management of many public 
 trusts. We quote the following from a work published in 1856, by Thomas Brewer, Secretary 
 of the City of London School. 
 
 " It appears that in the year 1441 a grant was made by the king, of the manor of The- 
 baudes (or Theobalds), in the village of Cheshunt in the county of Hertford, with its appur- 
 tenances, to John Carpenter, master of St. Anthony's hospital in London, John Somerset, 
 chancellor of the king's Exchequer, and John Carpenter, Junior, citizen of London ; to hold 
 the same of the Crown by the annual render of one bow of the value of two shillings, or two 
 shillings in money, and one barbed arrow of the value of three-pence, or three-pence in money. 
 And shortly afterwards the same persons received from the king a grant of divers privileges 
 and exemptions in the said manor. The person here styled John Carpenter, Master of St. 
 Anthony's Hospital, was a man of some note, who had been provost of Oriel College in Oxford, 
 and in 1437 ^^-s chancellor of that University ; in 1444 he was appointed Bishop of Worcester, 
 and filled that See until his death in 1476. He was a great benefactor to the Cathedral Church 
 and Diocese of Worcester, as well as to the University of Oxford, in which he had been brought 
 up. He established a fellowship and several scholarships at Oxford, by which, and by other 
 liberal benefactions, he showed himself to be a great promoter and encourager of learning. 
 ' This great and good man ' (as Mr. Endell Tyler calls him), was fellow-student with and 
 intimate friend of Prince Henry (afterwards Henry the Fifth) when residing at Oxford. He 
 was not raised to the Episcopal dignity till after the death of John Carpenter, Town Clerk, but 
 the latter appoints him, in conjunction with his own brothers, as one of the supervisors and 
 coadjutors of the executors of his will, and also leaves to his reverend friend ' as a memorial' 
 of him, that book on architecture which Master William Cleve gave to him. John Carpenter, 
 the Bishop, was buried in his native village of Westbury upon Trin, near Bristol, where a plain 
 altar-monument was erected to his memory, with a skeleton lying on the top. 4 
 
 " The hospital of St. Anthony, for whose benefit the above grant was made, was an estab- 
 lishment in Threadneedle St., founded in the reign of Henry the Third, by the brethren of St, 
 Anthony of Vienne in France ; it consisted of a master, two priests, a schoolmaster, and twelve 
 poor brethren, besides their proctors and other officers and servants, and it would appear that 
 John Carpenter, Jr., was at one time connected with it as one of the members or officers." j 
 
ENGLISH ANCESTRY. 
 
 We will state here that Thomas Brewer, to whose work we are indebted for the preceding 
 luotations, was for a long time an assistant in the office of the Town Clerk of London. At 
 he time measures were taken for establishing the City of London School, Mr. Brewer was 
 ;hosen as its Secretary and appointed by the Committee in charge to collect, for the informa- 
 ion of the members of the Corporation of London, some particulars of the personal history 
 )f John Carpenter, Jr., whose benefaction entitled him to be regarded as the founder of the 
 mstitution. After much laborious research and in spite of the many difficulties arising from 
 he interval of four centuries and the peculiar character of the available materials, the work 
 vas published in its present form, in 1856, and was entitled " Memoir of the Life and Times 
 )f John Carpenter, Town Clerk of London, in the Reigns of Henry Fifth and Sixth." Our 
 ■eaders may therefore feel assured that the information contained in the following extracts is 
 listorically correct. 
 
 {Extracts from the Me7?ioir.') 
 
 " The object of the following pages will be to present a memoir of the life and times of 
 in individual whose history has hitherto been but very imperfectly known, though one act of his 
 DCnevolence has preserved his name from oblivion for upwards of four centuries, and insured a 
 asting remembrance and veneration as the founder of that great and flourishing educational 
 5Stablishment, THE CITY OF LONDON SCHOOL. 
 
 "John Carpenter, who is the person referred to, lived in an age which some are accustomed 
 :o regard as little better than those earlier times which are generally designated as the dark 
 iges ; though it would be more accurate to describe his time as the later portion of the medi- 
 leval age, the vigil, if we may so call it, of that brighter era which brought in the revival of 
 learning, the reformation of religion, the cultivation of art and science, the spirit of enterprise 
 ivhich led to important geographical discoveries, and a long train of other glorious advantages 
 vvhich have been progressively developing themselves ever since. 
 
 " The exact year when Carpenter was born has not been discovered. Neither parochial 
 registers nor the more modern system of recording births had come into vogue so early ; nor is 
 :here any family pedigree or monumental inscription extant to assist us in the inquiry. From 
 iome facts, however, which are well ascertained, it may be inferred that he was born somewhere 
 ibout the close of the long reign of Edward the Third, or the beginning of the career of Richard 
 :he Second, whose accession to the throne took place in the year 1377. 
 
 " Being designed for the profession of the law, it was a matter of necessity with Carpenter 
 :hat he should be conversant not only with English and Latin, but with French also ; and it is 
 arobable that his legal studies were pursued at one of the Inns of Court, which were then 
 Dlaces of great resort for those who desired to obtain a competent acquaintance with the laws. 
 Either from his having adopted the profession of the law, which implied a certain amount of 
 earning, or for the reasons applicable in other cases, where the title is employed to denote the 
 Dossession of a superior degree of knowledge in general, we find him afterwards usually styled 
 icrims (clerk), a term which, besides being used to designate ecclesiastical persons, was formerly 
 ;mployed also to signify in a general sense a learned man, or man of letters. 
 
CARPENTER MEMORIAL. 
 
 " That Carpenter was a man of attainments superior to many of his contemporaries, c' 
 intellectual capacity and of high moral worth, will be more and more e^-ident as our narrativ 
 progresses. We shall find him amidst the busy scenes of active life still exhibiting a studiou 
 character, displacing a fondness for literature, cultivating association with learned men, anc 
 by that endowment which has been the chief means of preserving his name from being entire] 
 forgotten, providing for the continuous encouragement and spread of education. He seems 
 therefore, justly entitled to the distinction which has been alluded to, in the most honorabl 
 sense in which it was accustomed to be employed. 
 
 " He seems to have first entered on public life in some capacity connected with the deparl 
 ment of the Town Clerk of London. That officer has always been one of the highest func 
 tionaries attached to the corporation ; but his duties in former times were far more decidedly o 
 a legal character than they are now. Next to the Recorder he was the chief officer in the loca 
 courts of law called the Hustings and the Mayor's Court, both of them tribunals of ver 
 extensive jurisdiction and practice in civil matters. All the process, pleadings and record 
 were under his superintendence and that of his subordinate officers. All suits were conductec 
 by a limited number (generally not more than four) of sworn officers, latterh' called the attorneyi 
 of the court, but in former times clerks of the outer court, or clerks to the Town Clerk. Somf 
 such appointment as this appears to have been held by Carpenter, who, in course of time wai 
 elected by the mayor, aldermen and commons to the superior office of Common Clerk or Towi 
 Clerk. His election took place at a common council held on the 20th of April, 141 7, in thf 
 5th year of King Henry the Fifth ; and it is marked by circumstances which reflect the highesl 
 honor upon him for his good feeling. It appears that the former occupant of the office, undei 
 whom Carpenter had sensed, was obliged to retire through inabilit}to continue the performana 
 of his duty ; but Carpenter generously proposed to sacrifice part of the emolument of thf 
 office for the benefit of his predecessor during his life, and solicited. from the Common Council 
 the grant to the same individual of a free residence in the house which he was then occup}-int 
 at the Guildhall. ' The same day,' says the entry in the records of the cit}". ' it was granted 
 by the said ^Mayor, Aldermen and Common Council, at the cordial and diligent instance ol 
 John Carpenter, that John Marchaunt, for the good and laudable ser\'ice which hitherto andoi 
 long time in the office of common clerk of the said city he hath faithfully exercised and occupied, 
 shall have and hold for the term of his life, to him and his assigns, one mansion which he 
 inhabiteth, situate above the middle gate of entrance to the Guildhall of the said city, between 
 the tenement of Thomas Wotten on the east part, and the cemeter}- of the church of St. 
 LawTence on the west part, without anything rendering for the same. And also at the instance 
 and by the consent of the said John Carpenter it was then and there granted b}' the said Mayor. 
 Aldermen and Common Council, that the said John ^Marchaunt shall have and receive annually 
 during his life, at the four principal terms in the year and usual in the Cit)- of London, of the 
 commonalty of the aforesaid city, by the hands of the chamberlain for the time being, ten 
 pounds sterling pertaining to the office and the ancient fee of the common clerk of the said 
 cit}' ; and that John Carpenter, his clerk, who then and there into the same office was elected 
 and admitted, shall have and recei^ e annually, of the commonalty aforesaid, the rewards anc 
 robes, and the other fees, commodities and profits and emoluments whatsoever to the office

 aforesaid belonging and pertaining, together witli tlie fee of ten pounds aforesaid, wliich sliall 
 fall after the death of the said John Marchaunt, etc. And it was granted by the same John 
 Carpenter, then and there, in full council aforesaid, that he, during the life of the said John 
 Marchaunt, would not demand, or procure to be demanded, any of the fee of ten pounds afore- 
 said to the said office pertaining.' 
 
 " During the time Carpenter held the office of Town Clerk or Common Clerk, he was also 
 frequently called the Secretary of the city. It is rather remarkable that this designation, though 
 not inappropriate at any other period — for a large portion of the Town Clerk's duties, apart 
 from those which have been already alluded to, are strictly analogous to those of a Secretary — 
 has not been met with in the records of the city as being apphed to any Town Clerk but 
 Carpenter. 
 
 " The city records in the year following his accession to office contain a somewhat curious 
 document, which is subscribed with his name ; and, being one of the very few entries of that 
 period which are in English, is worthy of introduction here, not only as a specimen of compo- 
 sition which will admit of favorable comparison with other examples of English writing of the 
 same date, but also because it furnishes a glimpse of the habits and character of the common 
 people of that age. It is entitled a ' Proclamation upon judgment of the Pillory,' and was no 
 doubt read or exhibited to the populace assembled to witness the punishment of the offender. 
 It is in these words : 
 
 ' For as moche as Thomas Forde of Caunterbury, sawyer otherwyse called Thomas of 
 Forde, sothseyer, that here stant, be a solempne enquest, afore the mair and aldermen taken, 
 was endited, and aftur be another enquest atteint and convict, of hidous trespasses and dis- 
 seites, that is to seye, that he now late cam to oon Jonet, that was ye W5'fe of Javyn Cook of 
 Estchepe, seing that he was a sothseyer, and trewely wolde telle her where CCli and more was 
 become, with a litel cofre closed, be her housbond in his life was beried in the ground, if it so 
 were that she wold paye as well for the sotell intrumentes that longen to his craft, as for his 
 mete and drinke that he spended al ye meme while that he wer in this toun, and with that also 
 that she wolde ensure him to be wedded to him, which Jonet, nat knowing his falsnesse and 
 disceit, paied at his byddyng, for his instrumentes and mete and drinke, xls. and more onward, 
 and innocently trustyng to hes wordes and behest, behot (promised) hym for to do all that he

CARPENTER MEMORIAL. 
 
 " There can scarcely be a doubt that Carpenter, whose services in the city are spoken of 
 in a document which will be hereafter quoted as ' dating from the time of his youth,' had, pre- 
 viously to his election as Town Clerk, accustomed himself to habits of investigation into the 
 constitution and government of the city, and acquired a familiarity with the laws and customs 
 which regulated the administration of its affairs. It is exceedingly probable that his reputation 
 in this respect may have had much to do with his being selected to fill the important office just 
 mentioned. This will sufficiently explain what it would otherwise be difficult to account for, 
 that within two or three years after his election he was able, notwithstanding his many important 
 avocations, to write a large volume on matters relating to the city, which displays much research 
 and knowledge of the subjects on which it treats, and has always been regarded as a book of 
 great value and authority. It is still preserved in the archives of the corporation together with 
 a transcript or duplicate copy of it made by Robert Smith, Comptroller of the Chamber in the 
 reign of Queen Elizabeth. The volume, which is in Latin, purports to be a collection of the 
 laws, customs, privileges and usages of the city, principally extracted from the rolls, charters 
 and documents of authority which were then in possession of the corporation. The contents 
 of the several treatises and collections, regarding the city's rights, are, at the end of the compi- 
 lation, digested by way of calendar, and an index is given to the pages of the volumes from 
 which these contents are extracted. 
 
 "The volume was at first called Liber Albus (or the White Book), but that name is now 
 
 generally applied to the transcript, and the original designated as Liber Niger (or the Black 
 
 Book.) This change in the name was most likely not adopted until after the copy of the book 
 
 had been made ; and it is not improbable that both the change and the copy owed their origin 
 
 to the following lines, written by some person, evidentl)' prior to the reign of Queen Elizabeth, 
 
 on the first leaf. These lines which were in Latin have been rendered into English as follows : 
 
 ' This book, which once was white, has black become, 
 ;\]arked through and through by many a greasy diumb; 
 Copy its leaves while yet you have the power, 
 Which may be lost if left beyond this hour ; 
 For if through faults of ours the book be lost. 
 Farewell ! a gem is gone of greatest cost.' " 
 
 " It is no slight testimony to the character and disposition of Carpenter to find that his 
 services were frequently besought in the capacity of an executor to the wills of persons who 
 left behind them property which they desired to have applied to beneficent purposes, and that 
 he evinced a ready wilhngness to lend himself to the accomplishment of their views. It shows 
 on their part, the great trust and confidence which they had in him and the reliance they 
 placed on his discretion, as well as his fidelity ; while on his part, it exhibits a readiness to 
 serve his friends and to be instrumental in promoting works of piety and charity, which 
 indicates a mind of decidedly social tendencies and benevolent susceptibilities. 
 
 " His third and most important duty in this respect was as executor of the will of the cel- 
 ebrated Sir Richard Whityngton, the far-famed hero of the well-known civic romance, whose 
 honors were not confined to being as Bow bells had predicted, 'thrice Lord Mayor of London,' 
 for he held that high office four times, and is otherwise distinguished in civic history. Whit- 
 yngton's will is dated the sth of September, 142 1, and was proved and enrolled in the Court of 
 
ENGLISH ANCESTRY. 
 
 Hustings in London, in 1423. By it he left all his lands and tenements in London, which 
 were very considerable, to his executors, with directions, after attending to certain specific 
 objects, to apply the residue of his property in works of charity for his soul, as they would wish 
 hini to do for their souls in a similar case. We may reasonably suppose that faithfully to carry 
 into effect such a will as that of Whityngton, would claim from a conscientious man a large 
 portion of his attention. 
 
 " On the 23d of February, 1431, the city granted to Carpenter and his wife Katherine a 
 lease of some premises in the parish of St. Peter, Cornhill, in the ward of Lime-street, for a 
 term of eighty years, on condition of annually rendering for the same a red rose (unam rosam 
 ubeam), for the first thirty years, and a yearly rent of twenty shillings for the remainder of the 
 term. The document describes the premises in question as adjoining on one side the garden 
 of Lord De la Zouch, whose house, we learn from Stow, abutted on the high street, then called 
 Cornhill street, but now Leadenhall street. As it is clear that Carpenter resided in these 
 premises (for he mentions the fact in his will), it is worth recording that the spot now forms 
 part of the market at Leadenhall. 
 
 " The terms on which Carpenter obtained this grant appear singularly favorable, and per- 
 haps may have been designed as some acknowledgement of his past services to the city (for he 
 had at that time been Town Clerk about 14 years), or at least may be regarded as a mark 
 of the estimation in which they were held. This view is somewhat confirmed by another grant 
 of a different kind made some years later. 
 
 "On the 14th of December, 1436, the city in order to show their sense of the value of the 
 services he had rendered them, and that he might thereafter enjoy the greater quiet and tran- 
 quillity, granted him a patent of exemption under their common seal, from all summonses, 
 watches, assizes, juries, recognizances, inquisitions, and assemblies whatsoever, within the city, 
 and from being compellable against his will to take any other burthen or office than that which 
 he then sustained. This privilege, which must have been a very important one in those days, 
 was possessed by but very few persons, and was never conferred on any one but under some 
 special circumstances, such as the rendering of important public services, and not unfrequently 
 in return for the payment of a considerable sum of money. 
 
 " The terms of this grant would appear to indicate that Carpenter at this time began to 
 entertain a wish to be relieved from the burthen of some of the public duties to which he was 
 liable, and to prepare for retirement into private life ; but it shows the high place which he 
 occupied in the esteem of his fellow-citizens, as well as the generous character of his own feel- 
 ings, that, notwithstanding this privilege of exemption, he in the same year was elected one of 
 the representatives of the city in a Parliament summoned in the first instance to meet at Cam- 
 bridge, but subsequently determined to be held at Westminster. The election for the city was 
 made in an assembly of the Mayor, Aldermen and Commonalty, and is recorded in these words: 
 
 ' Tuesday, the 2 oth day of November, in the fif- 
 teenth year of Henry the Sixth, (1436.) 
 
 ' This day Henry Frowyk and Thomas Catworth, aldermen, were elected for the Parlia- 
 ment, by the said Mayor, and Aldermen ; and John Carpenter, Junior, and Nicholas Yoo 
 draper, were elected for the Parliament by the Commonalty. 
 
S CARPENTER MEMORIAL. 
 
 " Some time about this period Carpenter resigned his office of Town Clerk, which he had 
 held upwards of twenty-one years. It is somewhat singular that no entry is to be found in the 
 city's records of his resignation, as in the case of his predecessor, though there is one of the 
 appointment of his successor, a Richard Barnet, or Bernat, on the 4th of October, 1438. 
 
 "In the following year the King issued a writ, dated the 26th of September, 1439, con- 
 vening another Parliament; and on this occasion Carpenter was again selected to represent 
 the city, in conjunction with Sir William Estfield, knight, and Robert Clopton, alderman, and 
 Galfrid Feldyng, commoner. In the record of this election he is described as ' late common 
 clerk of the city.' He was the only one of the four who had been sent to the preceding Par- 
 liament and as it was the general practice at that time to choose men who had not served the 
 city in that capacity before, his selection a second time may be regarded as a strong testimony 
 of the estimation in which his fellow-citizens held his services. 
 
 " It appears now to have become a settled desire with Carpenter to retire from public life 
 altogether, for we find that, in 1439, the year of his last election to Parliament, he obtained 
 letters patent from the King, dated 3d of December, i8th of Henry Yl., exempting him for the 
 whole of his life from all military and civil duties whatsoever, among which are included being 
 returned to Parliament and receiving the honor of knighthood. (By a statute of the time of 
 Edward the Second, persons who had land of twenty pounds a )'ear in fee or for life were 
 obliged to take the order of knighthood. This was done to assist the King in raising means 
 for prosecuting his wars in France. And at the verji- time that Carpenter obtained the above 
 grant, many persons who were liable to the imposition of knighthood, and refused to receive 
 it, were obliged to submit to fines. Indeed the practice of extorting fines on this pretense was 
 carried to such an extent, that the commons petitioned that it might be enacted that no man 
 should be fined twice for not receiving knighthood, but the Crown refused its assent to the 
 bill.) This patent, the original of which is still extant amongst the Cottonian manuscripts in 
 the British Museum, is to the following effect : 
 
 ' R. H.' 
 
 ' The King to all his bailiffs and faithful people greeting. Know ye that of our special 
 grace, at the humble request and for the ease of our dearly beloved John Carpenter, the 
 younger, late secretary of our City of London, who in services to us and our progenitors there 
 and elsewhere, from the times of his youth, not without great pains and unwearied loyalty, as 
 well commendably as faithfully hath labored earnestly, we have given and granted, for us and 
 our heirs, as much as in us is, to the same John, that he for the whole of his life shall have 
 these liberties, that is to say : That he shall not be placed nor impanelled in any great assize 
 arra)'ed or to be arrayed within our realm of England, nor in any other assizes, juries, inquisi- 
 tions, attaints, or reviews whatsoever, although they may affect us or our heirs ; nor be sworn 
 or placed upon the trial of any arraignment, assize or panel, before whatsoever justices of us 
 or our heirs to be taken. And that he shall not be appointed or assigned a leader, tryer, or 
 arra^er of men at arms, hobellers (horsemen) or archers, nor custumer, searcher, comptroller, 
 taxer, or collector of any customs, taxes, talliages, aids or subsidies whatsoever, to us or our 
 heirs howsoever granted or to be granted. And that henceforth Ire shall not be nor be elected 
 knight for any county, nor citizen for any cit}-, to come to the Parliaments of us or our heirs. 
 
ENGLISH ANCESTRY. 
 
 And that he shall not be made Mayor, sheriff, escheator, coronor, constable, bailiff, justice of 
 the peace or of sewers, nor other commissioner, officer or minister whatsoever of us or our 
 heirs. And that he shall not by any means be constrained or compelled by us or our heirs, 
 nor by the justices or ministers of us or our heirs whatsoever, to take upon him the degree of 
 knighthood, or any of the burdens, offices or employments aforesaid, or hereafter to undergo, 
 perform or occupy any other office, but therefrom shall be wholly free and entirely exempted 
 by these presents. And further of our abundant grace we have given and granted to the same 
 John, for us and our heirs, that although he may be hereafter chosen, ordained or assigned to 
 any of the burdens, offices or employments aforesaid, or to undergo, perform or occupy any 
 other office, contrary to the force, form, or effect of this our present grant, and shall refuse to 
 undertake, perform or occupy such offices or burthens, yet by occasion of such contempt he 
 shall not in any wise incur any fine, forfeiture, loss or damage, in body or goods, but that our 
 own present charter of exemption, by the aforesaid John or any other whomsoever in his name, 
 before whatsoever justices and ministers of us and our heirs in whatsoever place of record 
 through our whole realm aforesaid, shown upon such showing shall surely take effect and be 
 allowed to the same John without any other writ or process for that purpose further to be 
 prosecuted, or proclamation to be made. And therefore we command that the same John be 
 not contrary to our present grant in an}' manner disturbed or burthened. In testimony 
 whereof, etc. 
 
 Witness, etc.

 " Carpenter's life of usefulness was now drawing to a close. Although not an aged man, 
 his evident desire to withdraw from the fatigues and cares of public life, and the language 
 employed in the grants of exemption which he procured both from the city and the Crown, 
 seem to imply that he may have been the subject of impaired health or of some bodily infirmity 
 tending to shorten life. 
 
 " The writer of this biography has not been able to trace any event in Carpenter's life 
 subsequent to the date of the occurrences last mentioned. The gift which he made to the city 
 for purposes of education had long caused it to be an object of great desire that his Will, by 
 which the trust is supposed to have been established, but of which no copy had ever been known 
 to be in the possession of the corporation, should be brought to light ; but after very diligent 
 search in many probable quarters, that important document is still undiscovered. The search, 
 however, has not been an entirely fruitless one, for the writer had the gratification, a few years 
 back, of discovering amongst the records of the Commissary Court of London, kept in the 
 cathedral of St. Paul, a will of John Carpenter, which although it does not relate to the dispo- 
 sition of his lands and tenements (which according to a common practice in his time, formed 
 the subject of a separate will), yet supplies valuable information on many other points, and 
 gives a most interesting insight into a variety of particulars of a personal character, which 
 could not possibly have been acquired at this remote period from any other source ; and for 
 much of what remains to be said of him we are indebted to this document. We learn by this 
 will which is dated the 8th of March, 1441, that he lived (and most likely died) in the house 
 which, as already mentioned, had been granted to him by the city. This house he describes as 
 
CARPENTER MEMORIAL. 
 
 his new tenement or hostel, wherein he dwelt, in the parish of St. Peter in Cornhill, with thi 
 garden adjacent, and the houses, cellars, sollars, and other appurtenances, situate as well oi 
 the north side of the same hostel, towards the high street, as on the south side of the saic 
 garden, near the ancient chapel of Leadenhall. This description seems to imply that it was ; 
 residence of some magnitude, and one befitting a person of good position in the social scale 
 Indeed there is reason to believe that Carpenter was the possessor of considerable wealth 
 that he lived in a style of comfort and even luxury, and that he maintained no very sma] 
 household of servants and dependants. 
 
 " There are many deeds of conveyances enrolled in the Court of Hustings that show tha 
 he was constantly acquiring fresh property. There are also in the will of which we possess ; 
 copy, allusions to his other will, which prove that he left thereby considerable landed propert) 
 Besides this, the quantity of plate which he appears to have possessed, and the numerou 
 bequests of money which he left, with other circumstances, clearly indicate that his means wer 
 very ample. He speaks in his will in a style of humility and of self reproach, of ' my silve 
 vessels which have very often served me for the unreasonable and vain glory of the world 
 and also of ' my furred gowns and other sumptuous vestments, which, God forgive me, I hav 
 many times abused in superfluous and useless observances.' 
 
 " Another thing which throws some light upon his circumstances in life, as well as hi 
 domestic character, is, that he appears to have had a chaplain resident with him, and to hav 
 been provided with other accessories for the administration of the services of religion in hi 
 own house, in the same manner that the nobility and other persons of rank of his time wen 
 In one part of his will is this clause : ' I give and bequeathe to Sire William Taillour, chaplaii 
 dwelling with me, as a memorial of me, my book De Meditationibus et Orationibus Sanci 
 Anselmi;' and in another part he says ' I give and bequeathe for the service in the church c 
 St. Martin Outwich, where my parents lie buried, my great missale and my best silver-gilt cuj 
 together with my silver-gilt paxarium, and my two phials or cruets of silver, and my casula c 
 white damask with all its trimmings.' 
 
 " Carpenter appears to have had no children of his own, but yet he evidently took pleasur 
 in having a family circle about him. He bequeaths substantial tokens of his regard to sever: 
 nieces and nephews, the sons and daughters of his two brothers ; and one of these, Katherin( 
 daughter of his brother Robert, he speaks of as having been with him from her youth. Anc 
 in another place, a legacy is left to ' a little Christopher,' who had been with him from hi 
 cradle. Many of his servants also he names and leaves legacies to ; and to some who are ol 
 and poor, he leaves annuities for their lives. 
 
 " The writer regrets deeply that he is able to present no better account of the origin an 
 nature of that gift of John Carpenter which forms the basis of the City School, than what 
 furnished by the meagre yet valuable statements recorded by Stow, that ' he gave tenements I 
 the citye for the finding and bringing up of foure poore men's children with meate, drinki 
 apparell, learning at the schooles in the universities, etc., until they be preferred, and the 
 others in their places forever.' * 
 
 " This is the earliest description that is now extant of Carpenter's benefaction, but yet 
 is a century and a half later than the period of the gift. Although it is not known precise 
 
ENGLISH ANCESTRY. n 
 
 what authority Stow relied upon for his statement, there is no room to doubt that in its essential 
 points, the account given by the venerable historian of our city is perfectly correct. 
 
 " The oldest book of accounts which the city now possesses (the earlier ones having been 
 destroyed in the great fire of 1666, and a later conflagration at Guildhall in 1786), is for the 
 year 1633 ; it contains a description of the property in question in its then existing state, and 
 an account of what it produced ; and also an account of the annual payments at that time under 
 Carpenter's bequest. These are the earliest particulars that can be referred to. From these 
 particulars it appears that, in 1633, the rental of the property amounted to 49;^. 13s. 4d. per 
 anninn, and the charges upon it to 2o£. 13s. \A. per annum. We are unable to trace the 
 gradual increase in value which the property subsequently underwent; but whatever it was, 
 the surplus was absorbed in the general funds of the city and the charity remained on the same 
 limited footing until nearly two centuries later. 
 
 " In the year 1823 the income derived from Carpenter's estate had increased to several 
 hundred pounds a year, but the commissioners expressed no opinion as to the extension of the 
 charity. The attention' of the Corporation, however, being directed, in consequence of the 
 Commissioner's report, to the state of the several charities under their management and the 
 possibility of increasing their efficiency, the Common Council, on the i8th of January, 1827, 
 after several reports from the committee for letting the City's lands to whom the consideration 
 of the subject had been referred, agreed that the management and appropriation of Carpenter's 
 charity should be extended in the following manner; namely, that four boys from the age of 
 eight to sixteen years, sons of freemen of London, to be nominated from time to time by the 
 Lord Mayor, should be sent to the grammar school at Tonbridge in Kent, under the manage- 
 ment of the Skinners Company and the supervision of Dr. Knox, there to receive the benefit 
 of a classical and a commercial education, and religious instruction in the principles of the 
 Estabhshed Church of England, to be boarded and clothed at the City's expense and that the 
 parents or friends of each boy, on his attaining the age of sixteen, upon certificate of his 
 merit and good conduct during the period of his being at the school, should be entitled to the 
 sum of 100 pounds, to be applied towards his advancement in life ; and that the general super- 
 intendence of the charity and the providing of clothing for the boys should be under the 
 direction of the committee of city lands, assisted by the chamberlain of London for the time 
 being. By this arrangement, the annual expenditure in respect of the charity was increased 
 from ig;£' los. to about 420;^." 
 
 " The same committee subsequently presented another report (in consequence of a refer- 
 ence which had been made to them on the 30th of May, 1833, respecting the proprietory 
 consohdating Carpenter's charity with the intended schools, in which they stated that, although 
 it was considered that the trust required to be performed under the will of Carpenter extended 
 only to the providing of education, clothing and commons for four boys, yet, as the estates 
 bequeathed then produced upwards of 900;^ per annum, they were of opinion that, provided 
 the alterations in the constitution of the school were effected which were recommended in 
 their former report, the sum of nine hundred pounds should, after its opening, be annually 
 contributed by the corporation towards its support ; and that instead of four boys being sent 
 to Tonbridge School, a like number should be selected, according to merit, as vacancies might

 arise, to be clothed, boarded, and educated at the expense of the new estabhshment, up to th 
 age of sixteen years, and, upon quitting, become entitled to the sum of one hundred pound 
 each, upon receiving a certificate of merit and good conduct while at the school. \Mth thi 
 alteration the bill passed both Houses of Parliament, and received the royal assent on the i^t 
 day of August, 1834. It is entitled ' An act to establish a school on the site of Honey-Ian 
 market in the City of London.' It recites that ' Payment was believed to be made in pursuanc 
 of the will of the said John Carpenter,' but that such will could not be found. The Act als 
 authorizes the Common Council to delegate to a committee the general superintendence of th 
 affairs of the school. Under the powers thus obtained, the corporation gave up the site 
 ground occupied by Honey-lane market, and erected thereon, at an expense of nearly twent 
 thousand pounds, the spacious and commodious edifice henceforth known as The City c 
 London School." 
 
 Note. — " The endowment of 900;^ a year did not absorb the whole amount of renta 
 which, at the time of passing the Act was derived from. Carpenter's bequest. The propert 
 has since become enhanced in value ; and in a few years, when many of the existing lease 
 expire, will yield a very greatly increased revenue. Considering the intention with which th 
 property was originally bestowed, and the generous interest taken by the corporation in th 
 promotion of education, it is not improbable that at some future day it may become a questio; 
 with them whether the entire income of Carpenter's estates should not be devoted to th 
 purposes of education. The property, according to the description in the schedule to the Ac 
 appears to comprise the following number of houses, several of which have coach-houses 
 stables and other buildings attached to them, namely : 
 
 In Lower Thames street, 2 
 
 Cheapside, i 
 
 Houndsditch, 2 
 
 Tottenham Court road, east side, 37 
 
 Alfred Place, west side, 2 1

 South crescent, 13 
 
 North crescent, 14 
 
 Tottenham mews, 3 
 
 Store street, 5 
 
 Chenies street, i 
 
 Making a total of 119 houses, 
 besides other buildings. Of which number of houses the leases of 32 have but between seve 
 and eight years to run ; those of the others expire at various periods more remote."

 "IN THE NAME OF GOD, Amen. I John Carpenter, Junior, citizen of Londot 
 cogitating with earnest meditation how brief are the days of man, and that many person

 losing their time in leisure and enjoyment, are suddenly beset with trials, and die very often 
 intestate : Willing therefore, with God as my guide, whilst yet in the enjoyment of life and 
 health and before languor clouds my reason, so to dispose of my frail and transitory goods that 
 at the time of my departure from this world I may more calmly direct my whole mind to the 
 Lord God my Savior and Redeemer, and return him thanks for benefits bestowed and humbly 
 ask pardon for my transgressions. It is for this that being sound in body and mind, thanks 
 be to God, I do now make, ordain, appoint and declare this my last will and testament in form 
 following. In the first place with all possible devotedness, I do commend my sinful soul to 
 the Lord Jesus Christ my Savior and Redeemer, and to his glorious mother Mary, and the 
 whole college of all the saints above ; and my vile corpse to be buried near the pulpit before 
 the entrance of the chief chancel of the church of St. Peter of Cornhill, where I am a parish- 
 oner ; willing that my funeral shall be made in a humble manner, to wit, with a black woolen 
 cloth to be put upon my bier, and a wax taper of ten or twelve pounds at my head, and 
 another at my feet, and with four or six torches at the most to be held around me, without any 
 attendance of the rich or other worldly pomp. And I will that the torch-bearers be honest 
 and virtuous poor indigent persons to be chosen according to the discretion of my executors, 
 and that each of them shall have for his labor, and to pray for my soul, twenty pence, and one 
 gown with a hood of strong russet cloth lined with blanket. And that my same executors 
 after my funeral is over, shall bestow the aforesaid black cloth upon some poor and devout 
 person, man or woman, to clothe himself therewith, and to pray for my soul. And I will also 
 that the wax tapers aforesaid, after my said exequies, shall serve, as long as they will last, at 
 the burial of the poor in the church of St. Peter aforesaid ; and that the torches aforesaid, 
 likewise as long as they will last, shall serve at the celebration of divine service in the same 
 church and in the church of St. Martin Outwich where my parents lie buried. For I bequeath 
 to the high altar and to the rector of the said church of St. Peter, for my tithes and obligations, 
 if any there be forgotten or unpaid, thirteen shillings and fourpence ; and to the same rector 
 devoutly to keep and celebrate my exequies in the same church during one month after my 
 death, and to each of the other chaplains there to pray for my soul, and to be present at my 
 said exequies during the same month, six shillings and eightpence ; and also to each of the 
 parish clerks of the same, three shillings and fourpence ; and to the fabric or repairs of the 
 same, forty shillings. Also I bequeath for the sustenance and finding of a fit and devout 
 priest to celebrate divine service daily in the same church of my soul, and the souls of my 
 said parents and of all the faithful deceased, during the three years next after my death, twenty 
 pounds. I bequeath also to the fabric of the said church of St. Martin, forty shillings ; and to

 THE CITY OF LONDON SCHOOL. 
 
 {Exti-acts from its History?) 
 
 "The City of London School was established in the year 1834, under a special Act of 
 Parliament, by which it was endowed with an annual minimum sum of nine hundred pounds, 
 payable by the corporation out of the profits of certain lands bequeathed to the corporation in 
 1442, by John Carpenter, Town Clerk of London, in the reign of Henry the Sixth, for the 
 purpose, as his will expresses, of ' the finding and bringing up of foure poore men's children 
 with meate, drinke, apparell, learning at the schools, in Universities etc., until they be pre- 
 ferred, and then others in their places forever.' 
 
 " The land so willed to the corporation has long since been covered with buildings and is 
 situated in Tottenham Court road close to Chenies street. 
 
 " The constitution of the school has not greatly changed since the days of its first estab- 
 lishment. It is a day school for the education of 680 boys, between the ages of seven and 
 nineteen. Each boy on entering must pass a simple elementary examination. The fees 
 chargeable to parents have hitherto been ten guineas per annum. The educational advantages, 
 therefore, are of a very superior character, considering the small amount of the scholar fees and 
 this fact is duly appreciated by the public ; for while the school numbers are quite full at the 
 present moment, there are more than 300 candidates for admission whose names are before the 
 committee.

CARPENTER MEMORIAL. 
 
 "The city land on which the new school building is erected is about one and a half acre; 
 is an irregular oblong, having a frontage of 136 feet and a depth of more than 430 feet. Thi 
 magnificent site has been valued by independent surveyors at 95,000 pounds. The estimatei 
 cost of the school buildings is set at 100,000 pounds, making a total cost of 195,000 pounds 
 Space will not admit of a general description of the building and we will only give a descrif 
 tion of the principal staircase. 
 
 " Facing the vestibule, on entering, is the State staircase which leads up to the Great Hali 
 the balustrade and columns to this being of colored marble. The most striking feature on thi 
 staircase is the central niche on the half-landing, containing the statue of John Carpenter, th 
 founder of the school. On the wall panels on either side of this are marble memorial tablet 
 describing in eloquent language his numerous virtues and good deeds.'' 
 
 " The corporation of London, who have good reason to exult in the eminent positioi 
 which the City of London School has attained under their fostering care, have, in a spirit 
 just gratitude, honored the memory of John Carpenter, by causing a statue of him to be placec 
 in a conspicuous part of the building, with an inscription which presents a faithful outline 
 his character and good deeds, and will form an appropriate conclusion to the present narrative 
 It occupies five sides of an octagonal pedestal, and is as follows : 
 
 To the memory of 
 
 JOHN CARPENTER, 
 
 an eminent citizen of London 
 
 and member of the Company of Mercers, 
 
 who lived during the reigns of 
 
 Henry V. and Henry VI. 
 
 and who bequeathed 
 
 to the corporation of this city 
 
 certain lands and tenements 
 
 for the purpose of 
 
 maintaining and educating four boys 
 
 and sending them to the Universities ; 
 
 from which bequest resulted 
 
 the foundation and endowment of 
 
 The City of London School 
 
 under the authority of 
 
 an Act of Parliament 
 
 A. D. M.DCCC.XXXIV. 
 
 He was distinguished by 
 
 his general attainments and learning ; 
 
 his knowledge of the 
 
 laws, customs and privileges of this city ; 
 
 his integrity of character, and universal benevolence. 
 
 From his earliest youth he was devoted 
 
 to the service of his fellow citizens, 
 
 and throughout the course of his life 
 
 proved himself 
 
 a ready defender of their rights 
 
 and a zealous promoter of their interests. 
 
ENGLISH ANCESTRY. 19 
 
 He was elected 
 Common Clerk or Town Clerk of London, 
 
 A. D. M.CCCCXVIL, 
 
 and held that office for twenty-one years, 
 
 during which period 
 
 he compiled that valuable treatise still extant 
 
 under the title of " Liber Albus." 
 
 He likewise 
 
 represented the city in Parliament, 
 
 A. D. M.CCCC.XXXVL and M.CCCC.XXXIX. 
 
 As one of the 
 
 Executors of Sir Richard Whittington, 
 
 he conferred essential benefits 
 
 on the city 
 
 by promoting various public works, 
 
 especially 
 
 the erection of conduits, 
 
 the rebuilding of Newgate, 
 
 the enlargement of the Hospital of Saint Bartholomew, 
 
 the completion of the Guildhall, 
 
 and the formation of a library attached thereto, 
 
 to which he subsequently bequeathed 
 
 sundry rare books 
 
 for the benefit of students 
 
 resorting to the same. 
 
 In token of his eminent services 
 
 he was honored 
 
 both by his sovereign and fellow citizens 
 
 with peculiar immunities 
 
 and privileges. 
 
 He left munificent bequests 
 
 to the Charterhouse 
 
 and the Fraternity of Sixty Priests in London, 
 
 of which brotherhood he was a member, 
 
 as well as to many other 
 
 religious establishments and persons ; 
 
 also 
 
 to the hospitals of 
 
 Saint Mary within Cripplegate, 
 
 Saint Mary without Bishopsgate, 
 
 Saint Bartholomew in Smithfield, 
 
 Saint Katherine near the Tower, and 
 
 Saint Thomas in South wark ; 
 
 to the houses 
 
 for poor Lepers at Holborn, Locks and Hackney, 
 
 and for poor Madmen at Bethlem ; 
 
 and 
 
20 CARPENTER MEMORIAL. 
 
 to the prisoners in Newgate, Ludgate, 
 
 the Fleet, Marshalsea and King's Bench, 
 
 and the prison of Convicts 
 
 at Westminster. 
 
 He died 
 
 on the xiith of May, M.CCCC.XLII ; 
 
 and was buried 
 
 before the chancel of the church of 
 
 Saint Peter, Cornhill, 
 
 of which parish 
 
 he was an inhabitant and a liberal benefactor. 
 
 Thus 
 
 his comprehensive charity 
 
 embraced all the necessities 
 
 of his fellow men 
 
 and 
 
 the general conduct of his life 
 
 exhibited the character 
 
 of one who 
 
 (in the words of Holy Writ; 
 
 desired 
 
 'To do justly, love mercy, 
 
 and 
 
 walk humbly with his God.' "

 Yeven at London, the Day and Yere abovesaide. 
 
 Also I Bequethe the same John Elys my litill Cloth with an Image of our Lady and Seynt 
 John Baptist over the Chamber Dore^(p). 
 
 (a) — Halls and other chambers of this time frequently had their walls hung: with tapestry, which was suspended with hooks, 
 and taken down, and carried with her owner on a chang^e of residence {Archaeological Journal^ June, iS45,page 172). Accord- 
 ing to Stow {Stcrvey, p. 275), Nicholas Alwyn, grocer, mayor in 1499, left by will 73Lbs. 6 S. 8 D. for a hanging of tapestry to 
 serve for principal days in the Guildhall ; but the historian adds, " how this gift was performed I have not heard.'' 
 (b) — Mentioned in her husband's will as chaplain dwelling with him. 
 
 (c) — One of the clerks of her husband, to whom he left a legacy. He is again mentioned in this will ; and in her second will 
 is appointed to collect certain rents devised by her. 
 
 (d) — Mentioned in her second will as "Adam Gerard, chaplain.'' 
 (e)— Mentioned in John Carpenter's will, as having lived with him from her youth, 
 (f)— John Reynold also received a legacy under her husband's will, 
 (g)— Mazer, a broad standing cup or drinking-bowl. 
 
 (h) — The canopy or covering at the head of a bed. A contemporary manuscript in the public library at Cambridge has a 
 description of the interior of a chamber in a castle, which contains the following lines : — 
 
 " Hurbed was of aszure, with tester and celure (canopy) 
 
 With a bry t bordure compassyd ful clene. 
 There was at hur testere the kynges owne banere. 
 \\'as nevere bede rychere of empryce ne qwene." 
 
 — Archaelogical Journal^ Sept. 1844, p. 344. 
 (i) — This description of a somewhat rich bead-head may be illustrated by the following lines from Drayton's Polyolbion, 
 s. 26 :— 
 
 " Who, led from room to room, amazed is to see 
 
 The furnitures and states, which all imbroideries be. 
 The rich and sumptuous beds, with tester-covering plumes ; 
 And various as the sutes, so various the perfumes." 
 (k) — The " dirige " formed part of the ofi&ce of the dead. 
 (I) — Described in her second will as Robert W'elwyk. 
 
 (m)— Mordan was a clerk to her husband, who left him one of his books. She also appointed him an executor of her 
 second will, in conjunction with Welwyk and Joly. 
 
 (n) — Latten, a hard mixed metal, closely resembling brass. — Archaelogical Journal, p. 154 and 210. 
 
 (0) —This "former testament ' ' was in all probability revoked and another substituted for it ; as one applicable to the same 
 description of property, and for effecting similar purposes, was made subsequent to the date of this will. In it the bequest in 
 favour of John Elys is repeatedin more specific terms. It will be found in Appendix No. W . 
 
 (p)— This " litill cloth " was probably a piece embroidery. In the Archaelogical Journal for January, 1845, is a paper by

 and it is somewhat singular that, amongst other instances, he quotes one of an ornament, made by royal command, very similar 
 to that above alluded to. In 35 Hen. III., 1252, " Edward of Westminster is commanded to order a banner tobemadeof white 
 silk, and in the center of it there is to be a representation of the crucifixion, with the effigies of the Blessed Mary and St. John, 
 embroidered in orfrais, and on the top, a star, and a new crescent moon " {Hardy^s Introduction in the Close Rolls, p. 46J Mr.

 WILL (No. 2) OF KATHERINE CARPENTER, 
 
 WIFE OF JOHN CARPENTER. 
 (From the lolls of the Court of Hustings, London.) 
 
 {Translation.') 
 
 " IN THE NAME OF GOD, Amen. On Wednesday the last day of the month of 
 March, in the year of our Lord one thousand four hundred and fifty-seven, and in the thirty- 
 fifth year of tlie reign of Henry the Sixth after the Conquest, I Katerine Carpenter, widow, 
 citizen of London, relict of John Carpenter, Junior, formerly common clerk of the said city, 
 reflecting with careful meditation how short and transitor}' are the days of man, and how many 
 are suddenly involved in calamities, while therefore I am sound in mind and memory I conclude, 
 make and ordain my present testament, containing my last will, as regards the disposal of 
 certain quit-rents of mine below mentioned, issuing from certain lands and tenements within the 
 city of London, in the following manner. 
 
 Imprimis : I give and commend my soul to Almighty God my creator and redeemer, and 
 to his mother the blessed Virgin Mary, and to all his saints ; and my body to be buried as I 
 have fully declared in another testament of mine concerning my movable goods previously 
 made. 
 
 Item : I give and bequeath to Hugo Damelet, rector of the parish church of St. Peter in 
 Cornhill, London, and to the wardens of the works and ornaments of the same church and to 
 all the parishioners of that church, those thirty and three shillings annual free and quit rent, 
 which I have yearly issuing from a certain tenement of the Mayor and commonalty of the city, 
 of London called Bakwelhalle, with the appurtenances, situate in the parish of St. Michael in 
 Bassyeshawe, London, and from houses, lands and tenements of the said Mayor and common- 
 alty, with their appurtenances, situate in the parishes of St. Peter on Cornhill aforesaid and of 
 St. Botolph near Billyngesgate, Lpndon, and which I the said Katerine lately held jointly with 
 William Chedworth and Robert Langford (who released to me all their right, interest and claim 
 therein by their writing dated the twenty-first day of the month of April, in the twenty-seventh 
 year of the reign of King Henry the Sixth after the Conquest ), by the gift, grant and confirma- 
 tion of John Gedney late Mayor, and of the commonalty of the city of London : to have levy 
 and receive annually the aforesaid thirty and three shillings annual free and quit-rent at the 
 four principal divisions of the year in equal portions, together with the power of distraining for 
 the same rent as often as it may be in arrear unpaid, to the aforesaid rector, wardens and parish- 
 ioners and their successors forever, under the form and conditions following : to wit, that that 
 the said rector and wardens and parishioners and their successors keep and observe, or cause 
 to be kept and observed in the said church of theirs every year for e\'er, on the twelfth day of 
 the month of May if no lawful impediment prevent, or within two days next preceding or fol- 
 lowing that day, whichever may be better or more convenient, solemnly, devoutly and separately, 
 one anniversary by note for the soul of the said John Carpenter my late husband, and for my 
 soul, and for the souls of all the faithful departed, in the form following, to wit : a certain 
 honest cloth being first placed on the preceding evening before the door of the chancel or choir 
 of the same church, beyond the tomb where the body of the said John my late husband resteth 
 buried, with one suitable wax candle at the head and another at the feet of the same tomb

 burning, let the rector of the said church, or his locum tenens, and all the chaplains and clerks 
 of the same church, devoutly and distinctly chant and sing a Placebo Dirige, with lauds, and 
 with the full service for the dead used and accustomed on anniversaries of this kind ; and on 
 the morrow let them celebrate in the same place one high mass of Requiem, by turns, by note 
 reverently and devoutly ; and let two of their chaplains separately celebrate two masses without 
 note, with the special collects and commemorations in the canons of their masses to be made 
 for the aforesaid souls ; and let each of the said wardens at the said high mass offer to God, 
 for the aforesaid souls, one penny ; but these exequies being finished, let the said rector or his 
 locum tenens, the chaplains and clerks meet round the said tomb, and sing this response, 
 " Libera me Domine,'' with others used for the dead in such cases, and then let them say the 
 psalm " De profundis," with the appropriate versicles and prayers for the souls aforesaid ; and 
 let them also strike the bell of the same church during the time of the aforesaid exequies, as 
 the custom is in other anniversaries of this kind, that the devotions of those who hear that 
 striking may be more especially and more devoutly excited to pray to God for the souls com- 
 memorated. And further, that the same rector and wardens of the aforesaid church of St. 
 Peter, for the time being do choose and cause to come thirteen of the more virtuous poor of 
 either sex, namely, seven of the parish of St. Peter aforesaid, and six of the parish of St. 
 Martin Oteswich, London, to be present at the said exequies throughout, and specially to pray 
 for the aforesaid souls ; provided always, that no common beggar, nor any other who may have 
 had daily food from any fraternity or mistery of London or elsewhere, be nominated or chosen, 
 or be of the number of these thirteen poor. And immediately on the complete finishing of 
 this anniversary, that the rector and wardens divide and distribute each year sixteen shillings 
 from the said thirty and three shillings rent, in form following ; namely, that they pay and dis- 
 tribute to each of the chaplains of the said church of St. Peter for the time being, for their 
 labor and diligence shown in the premises, fourpence ; and to each of the parish clerks of the 
 same for the time being, officiating on the said anniversary, fourpence ; and to the same parish 
 clerks between them, for the striking of the said bell, two shillings; and to each of the said 
 thirteen poor present and praying at the said exequies, threepence ; and for the wax appointed 
 and used on the same anniversary, two shillings ; also to the said rector, if he shall have been 
 present at the aforesaid exequies, twenty pence, and if he shall have been absent only 
 ten pence; and that they receive and retain twenty-one pence for each of the said 
 wardens, for their labours and diligence in the collection of the said rent, and the 
 keeping of the said anniversary, and for their offering aforesaid ; and that they hon- 
 estly and faithfully lay out and distribute the remainder of the same sixteen shillings, if, 
 anything shall remain, among the more virtuous poor parishioners of the said church of St. 
 Peter. And further, that the said rector and wardens and parishioners receive, have and retain 
 for themselves and their successors every year for ever seventeen shillings remaining rent out 
 of the said thirty and three shillings, for the support of the beam-light and other lights of the 
 same church, on condition that no poor parishioner or servant of the said parish of St. Peter 
 at the holy paschal season or at any other time whatever, at the Lord's table, shall be kept 
 back or any way compelled to pay for any paschal light, commonly called candel silver, about 
 the same paschal season, in the aforesaid church of St. Peter ordered or to be ordered. And 
 
ENGLISH ANCESTRY. 25 
 
 if it should happen that the aforesaid anniversary, or the said payment or distribution of six- 
 teen sliillings to be made in tire form aforesaid, should cease in any year after my decease, or 
 be negligently or remissly withdrawn, delayed or not take place, or that any of the poor or 
 servants of the aforesaid parish of St. Peter, in the same holy paschal season or at any other 
 time whatever, at the Lord's table, are kept back, forced or compelled to pay for any light before 
 mentioned, in the said church at the same paschal season to be ordered or provided, then I will 
 and ordain that the fee simple and possession of the same rector, wardens and parishioners of 
 the aforesaid church of St. Peter, and their successors, of and in the aforesaid thirty and three 
 shillings rent, shall altogether finally cease and determine, and be null and void. Nay, from 
 thence accordingly I now give and will by this my present testament the aforesaid thirty and 
 three shillings rent to the rector of the church of St. Martin Oteswich, London, the wardens, 
 and the parishioners of the same church for the time being, to have, levy, and receive annually 
 for themselves and their successors forever, together with the power of distraining for the same 
 annual rent as often as it shall be in arrear unpaid after any feast on which it ought to be paid ; 
 on condition that they each year on the day aforesaid, or within two days next preceding or fol- 
 lowing the same day, keep and observe with six chaplains and the parish clerk of the same 
 church of St. Martin for the time being, if there shall be so many stipendiary chaplains in that 
 church, or with other fit chaplains in the place of thpse chaplains, failing either all or any of 
 them of the same church of St. Martin (to be elected for all future times by the same rector and 
 wardens of the same church of St. Martin who for the time shall be), the anniversary for the 
 aforesaid souls in the same church of St. Martin, by note ; also make and execute the payments 
 to the chaplains and clerk observing the same anniversary, and the distributions among the 
 poor, and all and singular the other things in their said church of St. Martin ; and that the 
 same rector and wardens of the same church of St. Martin for the time being receive and take 
 for their labor and pains in a similar manner and form as the aforesaid rector, wardens and 
 parishioners of the aforesaid church of St. Peter in the same church of St. Peter ought to 
 
 make, execute, receive and take as aforesaid.

 I give and bequeath to the rector of the church of St. Peter on Cornhill, the wardens and 
 parishioners of the same church, all that annual rent of twenty marks, which I have to myself 
 my executors and assigns for a term of years, of the grant of the Mayor and commonalty of 
 the City of London, at the four principal terms of the year, namely, the feast of St. Michael 
 the Archangel, the Nativity of our Lord, Easter, and the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, by 
 equal portions, by the hands of the chamberlain of the said city for the time being, from the 
 issues, tolls and rents of a certain tenement called Bakwellhalle, situate in the aforesaid parish 
 of St. Michael in Bassishaw, and all the lands and tenements of the said Mayor and common- 
 alty in the parishes of St. Peter on Cornhill and St. Botolph near Billingsgate, London ; to 
 have, levy and receive annually, during the whole term I slrall have it thence issuing, the afore- 
 said annual rent of twenty marks at the said four terms of the year in equal portions, together 
 with the power of distraining for the same annual rent as often as it shall be in arrear 
 unpaid, to the aforesaid rector, wardens and parishioners of the said church of St. 
 Peter and their successors, under the following conditions ; namely, that the same rector, war-

 dens and parishioners and their successors, during the same term, do procure Adam Gerarc 
 chaplain, to celebrate divine offices continually in the accustomed manner for the soul of tb 
 said John late my husband, and for my soul, and the souls of our parents, friends and benefac 
 tors, and of all the faithful departed, that is to say, amass in the said church of St. Peter dailj 
 between the sixth and seventh hour, if he shall be so disposed, but otherwise at any other houi 
 according to his pleasure. And I will that the said Adam shall in each day, ordinary as wel 
 as festival, be present at all the canonical hours and divine offices in the same church to sing 
 and at the antiphon of the blessed Mai-y on each festival day, and officiate and serve as i 
 becoming at the said obsequies, according to his knowledge and ability, unless hindered b; 
 lawful or reasonable cause. Also that they pay yearly during the said term to the said Adair 
 chaplain, for his salary, eleven marks sterling ; and if the said Adam shall be worn out by thi 
 weakness of old age or any other infirmity, so as to be unable to observe the said ministration 
 or obsequies, then I will that he nevertheless receive and have during the aforesaid term th 
 said eleven marks annually. Provided always, that if it should happen that the said Adan 
 dies before the end of the said term, then I will that the said rector, wardens and parishioner 
 of the said church of St. Peter and their successors, from time to time during the said term, d( 
 procure one other fit chaplain to celebrate divine offices continually in the accustomed manne 
 for the soul of the aforesaid John late my, husband, and for my soul, and the aforesaid souls 
 that is to say, a mass in the church of St. Peter daily whenever he shall be so disposed. Am 
 I will that this other cliaplain for the time being, on each day, as well ordinary as festival, b 
 present, officiate and minister, there bfeing no lawful impediment, to sing at all the canonica 
 hours and divine offices in the said church of St. Peter. And I will that the said rector, wai 
 dens and parishioners and their successors, pay annually during the said term to this chaplaii 
 for the time being, for his salary, ten marks sterling. And that they pay to this chaplain fo 
 the time being annually during the said term, if he shall be willing to celebrate his mass dail; 
 between the sixth and seventh hours throughout the whole year, there being no lawful impedi 
 ment, or, the said chaplain refusing thus to celebrate, to some other fit chaplain of the sann 
 church who shall be willing to celebrate in the usual manner his mass on each day at thi 
 aforesaid time throughout the whole year, thirteen shillings and fourpence sterling. 
 
 Also I will, bequeath and ordain that the said rector and wardens of the said church o: 
 St. Peter and their successors, according to their discretion and conscience, do lay out am 
 distribute annually during the said term, four pounds sterling among the poor and more vii 
 tuous parishioners of the churches of St. Peter and St. Martin Oteswich aforesaid, namelj 
 among the poor parishioners of each of the said churches, forty shillings ; that is to say oi 
 the vigils of Easter, the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, St. Michael the Archangel, and th' 
 Nativity of our Lord, in equal portions. 
 
 And I will that John Elys, citizen of London, who for a long time hath faithfully serve( 
 me, during the aforesaid term if he shall live so long among men, be the collector of all an( 
 singular the aforesaid rents ; and that the aforesaid rector and wardens of the said church o 
 St. I^eter, and their successors, do pay annually to the said John Elys, for all the aforesaii 
 rents thus annually to be collected and for all the aforesaid donations faithfully to be renderei 
 3'early out of each of his rents, twenty-six shillings and eightpence sterling.

 And I will that, after the decease of the said John, the rector and wardens of the said 
 church of St. Peter for the time being do lay out annually during the said term, for the repair 
 of the said church and the ornaments of the same, and for the sustenation of the beam-light 
 and other fit and necessary lights in the said church, twenty-six shillings and eightpence. And 
 also that, after the decease of the said John, the said rector and wardens of the said church of 
 St. Peter, and their successors, shall only be bound to levy the aforesaid annual rent of twenty 
 marks during the aforesaid term, and not by any means to levy the other aforesaid rents, nor 
 to procure another collector to levy the same other rents. 
 
 And I will that the wardens of the said church of St. Peter for the time being do annually 
 retain and have among themselves during the aforesaid term out of the aforesaid annual rent 
 of twenty marks, for their labor and diligence in the procuring and paying of the said chaplain 
 and in the distribution of the said four pounds, thirteen shillings and fourpence. 
 
 Moreover, of this my testament I make, ordain and constitute my executors, that is to say, 
 Richard Mordon, Robert Welwyk and Richard Joly. IN TESTIMONY of which I have set 
 my seal to this my present testament. Given at London, on the day and year aforesaid. 
 
 In the thirty-sixth year of the reign of King Henry the Sixth after the Conquest (1458), 
 came hither Robeit \\'elwyk, one of the executors of Katerine Carpenter, late of London, 
 widow, and made proof of the testament of the same Katerine, as regards the articles touching

 ARMS Argent, a Greyhound passent and Chief Sable. 
 
 CREST a Greyhound's head erased per fesse Sable and argent. 
 
 DEFINITION OF THE ABOVE. 
 
 Argent is silver or white. 
 
 Greyhound passant represents the hound in a walking position. 
 
 Chief Sable, black. 
 
 Chief is the upper part of the escutcheon or shield. 
 
 Crest, the top of helmet. 
 
 Crest of Greyhound, the ornament of the arms. 
 
 Erased, to be torn off leaving the edge jagged or uneven. 
 
 Per, through the whole. 
 
 Fesse, a girdle or band. 
 
 Sable and argent, black and white through the whole of the greyhound and girdle on band. 
 
 The shield represents that the owner held the office of squire and was termed a gentleman. 
 
 The strongest and perhaps the most conclusive evidence, in our favor, of this connection 
 of the English and American branches of the Carpenter family, is based on verified records 
 and on the similarity of the Coat of Arms claimed by members of the American line and of 
 that borne by some of those of the same name in England. A prominent link in this chain 
 of evidence is furnished by Daniel Carpenter of Rehoboth, Mass., who died in 1763 and on 
 whose gravestone is engraved a Coat of Arms known as the " Greyhound Arms." On the 
 cover of a memorandum book, found by the writer, and belonging to Dr. Comfort Carpenter 
 while a student at Harvard College in 1730, a Coat of Arms appeared similar to that repre- 
 sented on the gravestone of Daniel of Rehoboth. This was some thirty years earlier. 
 
 In the copy of a letter dated March 13th, 1847, written by the Hon. T. P. Carpenter of 
 Woodbury, N. J., a descendant (in the 5th generation) of Samuel Carpenter who settled in 
 Philadelphia with William Penn, additional light is thrown upon -the wide-spread tradition of 
 this "Greyhound Coat of Arms." This correspondent says "I have a seal which is said to 
 be a copy of the family Coat of Arms. My grandfather (aged 94) has told me that it was 
 so reported. I should mention that the seal was engraved from the seals on several old letters 
 written by the Samuel Carpenter (this grandfather's brother) of Jamaica. It seems to be in 
 heraldic language." Then he goes on to describe the seal which corresponds, with some slight 
 differences in the crest, to that of William Carpenter, of Cobham, Surrey County, England, 
 granted in 1663. (The compiler has in his possession a letter written many years ago, on 
 which is the impression made in sealing wax of the seal referred to by Hon. T. P. Carpenter, 
 and it compares almost exactly with the " Arms " on Daniel Carpenter's gravestone.) 
 
 A letterfrom Jesse F. Carpenter, of Cazenovia, N. Y., dated June 22nd, 1895, establishes 
 still further the existence of a Coat of Arms in the line of the American Carpenters. A few 
 years since Mr. Carpenter spent some time in England where he carefully examined the books 
 
30 CARPENTER MEMORIAL. 
 
 on Heraldry, and among the Coats of Arms belonging to the several Carpenter families he had 
 no difficulty in identifying the one so often described to him by his father as the one claimed by 
 the American branch. He furnishes us with some interesting information concerning its origin. 
 He says . " I suppose you know why the Greyhound was chosen. It is supposed to be the 
 ^embodiment of Courage, Speed and Fidelity. Our ancestor was at this time King's messen- 
 ■ger, (it was a nobleman's office of honor), and a little gold greyhound concealed on a chain is 
 ■even to-day the badge of office of a Queen's messenger; so the greyhound was chosen as a 
 'Coat of Arms." 
 
 Tradition, like circumstantial evidence, leaves a doubt, but many times proves to be cor- 
 rect, and may be taken as evidence when no records can be obtained and accepted. Tradition 
 is rarely manufactured out of nothing and while correct as to the main facts may be incorrect 
 .as to detail. In our case, the cumulative evidence of it would seem to give the American Car- 
 penters a strong presumptive title to these Arms. Mrs. Ruth A. C. Silk, a descendant of John 
 Carpenter of Jamaica, L. I. (grandson of William) mentions the existence in her family of a 
 tradition that the Carpenters had a noble English ancestry. The English branch possessed 
 parks, houses, hounds, etc., and the American descendants had a Coat of Arms portrayed in 
 -colors on parchment, which had been preserved in the family from generation to generation 
 until the Revolution, when it was destroyed by the carelessness of a servant. The description 
 of this Coat of Arms corresponds with those mentioned above. Traditions of a similar char- 
 acter are found among other branches of the family. One family in Vermont, particularly, 
 represented by Mrs. Adams of South Royalston, a daughter of Galen Carpenter, claims that a 
 Coat of Arms belonging to the Carpenter family has long been in her possession, consisting of 
 a greyhound with some other designs. Henry S. Carpenter of Osceola, N. Y., gives the sub- 
 stance of the recollections of an aunt of his who died in 1851, aged 77 years. She substan- 
 tiated the statements generally received of the three \\'illiam Carpenters who came over in the 
 " Bevis " in 1638. She had a faint recollection of a Coat of Arms representing some sort of 
 .animal, and of having heard her father frequently speak of it, and thought it was recorded on 
 the Town Books of Rehoboth. 
 
 These are some of the facts connected with the history of the " Greyhound " Coat of Arras 
 in America. But it must be evident to the readers that these Arms could not and would not have 
 been assumed by any American branch of the family; and then by other families independently of 
 each other, and without any knowledge of their relationship, unless their claims had been 
 legitimate. 
 
 This being so it was our purpose to use the Coat of Arms in question as a means of con- 
 tinuing our researches in England and by its aid to establish a connection between the EngUsh 
 and the American Carpenters. For, says a writer in He7-aldry in America " A large proportion 
 of the American colonists, from New England to Georgia, belonged to families of position in 
 England, and they kept their old-world traditions on this side of the water. Tombstones, 
 silverware and bookplates are to be found in large numbers bearing the Arms of their owners 
 whose descendants with perfect propriety and with no disloyalty to the Repubhc use them to 
 this day. Those Arms are often the means of tracing family connection ; and on this account

 he who uses a shield without right, not only sins against good taste but helps the confusion of 
 records." 
 
 Entering upon this line of investigation the compiler put himself in communication with 
 John P. Jaynes, now deceased, a gentleman by profession a lawyer, and one who had had con- 
 siderable experience in this country and abroad in looking up titles to estates. Accordingly, 
 making use of the escutcheon found on the gravestone of Daniel Carpenter of Rehoboth as a 
 clew, Mr. Jaynes prosecuted his researches in England which led him to the discovery that a 
 certain William Carpenter of Cobham, Surrey County, had been granted an identical Coat of 
 Arms, March 4th, 1663. This William died in 1672 and left no heirs; so that his Arms would 
 be inherited by the next of kin on the male side, failing heirs of his own body. Supposing 
 now that neither Daniel nor the other descendants of William in this country would have adopted 
 these Arms of William Carpenter of Cobham unless they could havefurnished some legitimate 
 claim to them through the failure of direct heirs of this William of England, it is more than mere 
 speculation to consider that the first \Mlliam who emigrated to this country in 1638 was 
 related to William of Cobham, perhaps a cousin, or perhaps an uncle as he was twenty-five 
 years older than the latter. Furthermore, the heirs to this title and estate failing in England, 
 it was but natural for the surviving heirs, though now settled in America, to claim what would 
 have been justly their due had they remained in the mother countiy. Another fact which 
 seems to make our assumption more probable, is that, so far as we have been able to discover, 
 the Greyhound Arms were not used till after the death of William of Cobham, since they could 
 not have been borne unless they had been willed, or at least until his death made it legal for 
 the next of kin to assume them. 
 
 It is a well-known fact that William I. who came to America in 1638 and returned to 
 England, leaving his son and grandson here, made a short stop at Wherwell which is about 
 forty miles from Cobham to the eastward ; and it is not improbable that William the emigrant 
 and William of Cobham were related. The Greyhound Arms were borne by the Carpenters 
 of Sussex and Surrey and are found on church windows in both Sussex and Suri-ey. 
 
 Following up this line of discovery the compiler learned from his agent in England, that 
 William Carpenter of Cobham, who died without heirs in 1672. was a descendant of the family 
 to which John and Gregory Carpenter of West Barnes, Surrey, belonged. It has been claimed 
 that the Tyrconnel branch belonged to the same family. Hence the American family must 
 have the same origin. 
 
 The compiler has shown conclusively from certified copies of English records the line of 
 descent from John Carpenter of 1303 and claims that the Rehoboth Branch of the family has 
 the right to the Greyhound Arms. This Coat of Arms was granted to \\'illiam of Cobham in 
 1663, 27 years after the emigration of his cousin W'illiam to whom they came by right of heir- 
 ship, he being, beyond a reasonable doubt, the next of kin. 
 
 William of Cobham was without doubt the son of Alexander, and therefore a brother to 
 Alice who married for her first husband a Southworth and for her second husband Gov. William 
 Bradford. It is a well-known fact that Gov. Bradford paid his addresses to Alice Carpenter 
 and was favorably received by her ; but the marriage was opposed by her father on account of 
 Bradford's inferiority in rank and social standing and she was therefore induced to marry

 Southworth. This circumstance proves that Alexander was a man of wealth and high stand- 
 ing which is also proved by his relationship with the Tyrconnel Carpenters. All the daughters 
 of Alexander emigrated to America and there is no record or tradition that any part of the 
 estate came to them ; this clearly indicates that Alexander had a son who inherited the estate 
 in England. By the English laws the son would receive the inheritance leaving the daughters 
 without means and hence the offer of Gov. Bradford to defray the expense of the passage if 
 Mary would come to America and make her home with them. His letter will appear later. 
 
 There must have been some correspondence between William of Cobham and his sister 
 Alice Bradford, for it was a well-known fact among the members of the family in this country 
 that he had been made a Squire and given the title of Gentleman ; also that he had received 
 the grant of the Coat of Arms and was without heirs. There was a tradition in the family 
 of Simeon Carpenter who was born in 1759, that he was told by his father when a mere boy 
 that their only near relative in England had died without heirs and that the branch of the 
 family had become extinct there. This tradition was repeated to the compiler by Simeon and 
 he considers it reliable as it could not very well refer to any other except William of Cobham. 
 It also appears by tradition that the Greyhound Arms on parchment were sent over to the 
 family of William Carpenter and passed to the eldest son, John who settled at Jamaica. It was 
 kept in this family and handed down from generation to generation until some time after the 
 Revolution, when it was accidentally destroyed. 
 
 The following list will show the line of Tyrconnel Carpenters commencing with John 
 of 1303. 
 
 John Carpenter, born about 1303. 
 
 Richard, son of John, born about 1335. 
 
 John, Sr., son of Richard and brother of John, Town Clerk of London.

 1638, and returned. 
 
 James, son of William, died in 1593. 
 
 James, son of James, died in 1599. 
 
 Thomas, son of James, died in 1653. 
 
 The Thomas last mentioned left six sons, being succeeded at the Homme by his eldest 
 son Richard whose grandson dying in 1 733 left the estate to his second cousin. Lord Carpenter. 
 
 Warncomb Carpenter, the sixth and youngest son of Thomas who died in 1653, warmly 
 espoused the Royal cause and in the battle of Naseby, fought June 14,1645, received wounds 
 which after years of suffering caused his death. His youngest son, George, became page to 
 the Earl of Montague and on account of faithful service rendered to the Crown was created 
 Baron Carpenter of Killaghy in 1719. He died on Feb. loth, 1731, and left an only son 
 George (2), who dying in 1749, left a son George (3), born August 26, 1723, who on May

 29, 176-1, was raised to the dignities of Viscount Callingford and Earl of Tyrconnel. He 
 died in 1762. Tliis line became extinct in 1853. 
 
 A recapitulation of the foregoing statements and a repetition of names belonging to heads 
 of families from 1303 to 1638, the time of emigration, will better serve to fix the English line 
 of succession in the mind of the reader. 
 
 The statements in Playfair, Burke, and Davis and Owen, in regard to the descent of the 
 Tyrconnel Carpenters from John of 1303, and also from \Mlliam of Homme, establishes the 
 fact that the Homme Carpenters are all descended from John of 1303. William Carpenter, 
 (No. 8,) the great grandson of William of Homme, was the direct ancestor of the Tyrconnel 
 Carpenters ; and his third son William, was the progenitor of the Rehoboth branch of the 
 family. 
 
 No. I. John Carpenter, the first of the name who can be found in English historical 
 records was born about 1303. He was a member of Parliament in 1323. 
 
 No. 2. Richard Carpenter, a son of John No. i, was born about 1335. His wife was 
 Christina. They were both buried in the church of St. Martin Outwitch, Bishopsgate street, 
 and so also were some other members of the family. There seems reason to believe that 
 Richard was a citizen of Eondon, engaged like most citizens of his time, in some trade. The 
 roUsof Parliament of the 5th Richard IL, 1381, contain a pardon, in which several persons 
 of the name of Carpenter are mentioned as being excepted from its benefits, and among them 
 one who is described as Richard Carpenter of Billiter Lane, London. The City records also 
 contain an entry of a recognizance entered into, in 1410, before the mayor and aldermen by 
 two citizens, respecting the guardianship of an orphan, one of the parties to which is John 
 Norman, goldsmith and the other, Richard Carpenter, chaundeler.'' These two entries may 
 possibly refer to one and the same person, and that person be Richard, the father of John 
 Carpenter, Town Clerk of London. Richard inherited at least, his portion of his father's 
 estate. He was a chaundeler and probably a goldsmith, both trades indicating wealth. He 
 was, as appears in history, a prominent man jn social as well as in business matters. That he 
 was wealthy appears from the fact that his sons received a liberal education, provision being- 
 then made by the Government for education only in the common branches, and that to a limited 
 extent. 
 
 No. 3. John Carpenter, Sr., son of Richard No. 2. He was an elder brother of John 
 Carpenter, Town Clerk. It was not then uncommon for two brothers to be named alike, and 
 the John who became famous as Town Clerk of London, and " whose benevolent bequest 
 formed the basis on which the CITY OF LONDON SCHOOL was founded," was distin- 
 guished by being described as John Carpenter, Jr., or the younger. ■' Stow in more than one 
 place calls him Jenkin Carpenter, which the readers of Chaucer will know is the diminutive 
 of John as Simkin is of Simon." In the will of John Carpenter, Jr. the elder John was remem- 
 bered, as was the brother Robert, by the gift of " one of those two silver-gilt cups with a lid 
 which Thomas Knolle gave me, weighing twenty-five ounces." John Sr., and Robert were 
 appointed executors of the will.

 No. 5. William, son of John No. 4, born about 1440, died in 1520. ( He was William of 
 Homme.) 
 
 No. 6. James, son of William No. 5. 
 
 No. 7. John, son of James No. 6. 
 
 No. 8. William, son of John No. 7. He had several children, namely : 
 
 No. 9. (i) James; (2) Alexander ; (3) William; (4) Richard. 
 
 No. 9 — I. James inherited the estate of his father. 
 
 No. 9 — 2. Alexander was born about 1560. He was a Dissenter and on account of relig- 
 ious persecution removed with his family to Leyden. It was probably this Alexander who 
 stopped at Yarmouth on his return to England. After quiet was restored he settled in Som- 
 mersetshire where his wife died. He had several children whose names will be found in the 
 American Ancestry, as the daughters came to America. His youngest child and only son was 
 probably William of Cobham, known as the one to whom the Greyhound Arms were granted 
 in 1663. 
 
 No. 9 — 3. William Carpenter, born in 1576, was a carpenter by trade and lived in the City 
 of London. He rented certain tenements and gardens in Houndsditch in 1625 to him demised 
 for 41 years with a covenant to build within five years, which tenements and gardens were 
 heretofore conveyed to the city's use for the support of the Carpenter Free School by John 
 Carpenter, Town Clerk of London. 
 
 This William, the progenitor of the Rehoboth family, came over in the ship " Bevis " with 
 his son William, son's wife Abigail and their children. He was registered at Southampton, at 
 the time of emigration as a carpenter by trade and as coming from \\'herwe]l, but it is evident 
 that he was a resident of London. It appears that all the family were Dissenters and conse- 
 quently obliged to leave the City of London for a more quiet place. Alexander went to Leyden 
 and ^^'illiam, the son of William No. 8, went to \Mierwell. There is no evidence that the 
 father was there only as he went to join his son at the time of emigration. 
 
 No. 9 — 4. Richard Carpenter the fourth son of William was born about 15 — ; it is sup- 
 posed that he went to Amesbury, where he is known to have had property, in order to escape 
 the religious prosecution. He was the father of William Carpenter who came to America in 
 1636, and settled in Providence with Roger Williams and is known as the progenitor of the 
 Providence branch. The record and genealogy of this family is in the hands of Daniel H. 
 Carpenter, of Maplewood, N. J., who is a direct descendant of Joseph, who settled at Mosquito 
 Cove, L. I., and was the son of \\'illiam of Providence, R. I.

American Ancestry. 
 
 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 A distinguished American clergyman has observed " There are riches of moral power in 
 such ancestry as ours." The history of a nation being nothing else than the collective history 
 of families that compose that nation it is plain to see that sufficient reason exists why families 
 should have their histories written. They are thus connected with the great transactions of the 
 past and posterity is enabled to discover what its ancestor had to do with the successive por- 
 tions of the nation's history. 
 
 Burke truly said " Those only deserve to be remembered by posterity who treasure up the 
 history of their ancestors." 
 
 I am aware that some persons do not highly appreciate researches of this nature. This 
 want of appreciation may arise from early prejudice, and it may arise from a misconception 
 of the whole matter. It also may arise from too intense an occupation of the mind with the 
 present, excluding almost wholly the influence of the past, and even of the future. 
 
 It is surely no credit to any man to be regardless of the past from which the present has 
 sprung, and without which the present cannot be interpreted. Bearing directly upon this 
 very point, I will quote, as appropriate for this introduction, from the Rev. Samuel Miller, 
 D. D., Professor in the Theological Seminary at Princeton, N. J., \^ ho at the age of eighty-one 
 thus expresses his opinion in a letter to the compiler of the Foot Genealogy, dated Feb. 4, 
 1843.. ''I am ashamed, my dear sir, that the business of genealogy has in time past engaged 
 so little attention, and now, when I see so much of its real value, a great deal truly interesting 
 to me has irrevocably gone." 
 
 Edward Everett said " The sacred tie of family reaching backward and forward binds the 
 generations of men together and draws out plaintive musings of our being on the solemn alter- 
 ation from cradle to grave." 
 
 Another writer has said "The strength of England and the United' States is fed contin- 
 ually by memories of Cressy and Agincourt, of Bunker Hill and Saratoga ; while long cen- 
 turies of darkness and bondage have enfeebled the Chinese and Irish." 
 
 What is thus true of nations is also true of families. There is not an intelligent, public 
 spirited, virtuous man an)'where to be found who can safely deny that the motives which lead 
 him to virtue and patriotism are strongly influenced by the consideration that his ancestors 
 were brave and upright men. 
 
 We believe with Webster that "there is a moral and philosophical respect for our ances- 
 tors which elevates the character and improves the heart." 
 
 Mr. Stevens, an antiquarian from Barnet, Vt., during his researches in England, took from 
 the Clearance Records at Southampton, the registration of the Weymouth Carpenter family, 
 as they embarked in the ship " Bevis." The Bevis sailed in May, 1638, with sixty-one pas- 
 sengers, among whom were "one William Carpenter, of ^^'herwell, aged 62 years; William, 
 his son, agad 23 years, son's wife Abigail aged 32 years, and four grandchildren of lo years

 or less, names not mentioned in the Clearance ; and a servant, Thomas Bansholt, aged 14 
 years." 
 
 Wherwell, which is given as their place of residence, is spelled in different wav-s, namely, 
 Whorwell, Wherewell, Wherwell and Horwell, and is about seven or eight miles north of Surrey 
 and 25 miles north of Southampton (by the map). 
 
 The American Ancestry is to be confined to one branch of the Carpenter family, the 
 descendants of William (born in 1605) and his wife Abigail who came over in the Bevis in 
 1638. There were others of the same name who emigrated to this country but space will not 
 permit mention of them in this work. We will, however, go so far outside as to give a short 
 account of the daughters of Alexander Carpenter, as they were the first of the Carpenter 
 family to come to New England for a home. 
 
 What is known of Alexander Carpenter is given in the English Ancestry. He had six 
 daughters, namely : (i) Mary, (2) Alice, (3) Julia Ann, (4) Agnes, (5) Priscilla, (6) Bridget. 
 He had a son \\'illiam, b. in 1599, who lived and died in England. 
 
 Mary, b. probably about 1587; d. at Plymouth, March 19, 1667, aged about 80 years; as 
 the records say "A Godly old maid never married." 
 
 After the death of her father she stayed with her mother and cared for her wants. At the 
 mother's death Mary came to America and lived with her sister, Alice Bradford, as appears by 
 a letter written to her by Governor Bradford. The letter, copied from the Genealogical Reg- 
 ister, is as follows : 
 " Loving Sister ; 
 
 We understand by your letter that God hath taken to himself our aged mother out of the 
 troubles of this tumultuous world and that you are in a solitary condition as we easily apprehend. 
 We thought good therefore, to writ these few lines unto you, that if you thinke good to come 
 over to us you shall be welcome ; and we shall be as helpful unto you as we may, though we 
 are grown old and the country here more unsettled than ever, by reason of the great changes 
 that have been in these late times, and what will further be the Lord only knows ; which makes 
 many think of removing their habitation, and sundries of our ministers (hearing of the peace 
 and liberty now in E'.ngland and Ireland), begin to leave us, and it is feared many more will 
 follow. We do not writ these things to discourage you, for we shall be glad to see vou if God 
 so dispose ; but if you find not all things here according to your expectations when God shall 
 bring you hither, that you may not think we dealt not plainly with you. 
 
 This bearer is to come as near to you as Dorchester, and hath promised to see this letter 
 safely conveyed to you, and if you can writ or send to him he will give \ou best directions and 
 furtherance as he can about your coming over. His occasion will be most at London ; he dwells 
 here with us and is to return next year. He is a brother to Mr. Winslow. But we consider 
 your best and easiest way will be to come to Bristol if there be any passage ; and if you cannot 
 pay for your passage, agree with the master and I will pay it here. We have sent letters for- 
 merly which we perceive have miscarried ; but I hope this will come safe to your hands. The 
 rest of your friends are all in health, blessed be God. \\'e hope you will have such an oppor- 
 tunity that your passage will be comfortable, thus desiring" the Lord to keep \'ou and bring you 
 in safety. 
 
 \\'ith our love remembered unto vou we take leave and rest. 
 
 Your loving brother and sister.

 DIRECTIONS OF THE LETTER. 
 
 '■ To Mary Carpenter at Wrington, in Somersetshire, some eight miles from Bristol ; this 
 letter to be left at the house of Joseph Leggat, near the sign of ' The Rose ' in Ratcliffe street 
 in Bristol, to be conveyed as abovesaid." 
 
 -Mice, b. about 1590; m. Edward Southworth, 161 1. By Southworth she had two children. 
 Constant and Thomas; m. 2d, Gov. William Bradford, August or September, 1623. Slie d. 
 in 1670. He d. May 9, 1657. She had by Bradford three children, namely: William, 
 Mercy and Joseph. Her two children by Southworth came over with her. 
 
 Alice mentions in lier will her sister Mary and wishes to be buried near her husband. She 
 also mentions Constant Soutliworth, Joseph Bradford and grand-daughter Elizabeth, daughter 
 of Thomas Southwortli. A family of Southworths to which Edward Southworth, the first 
 husband of Alice Carpenter belonged, resided in the same part of Somersetshire at that time. 
 Wrington, a town in the County of Somersetshire, England, is seated among theMendip Hills, 
 nine miles northwest of \^'ells and 125 miles west of London and nine miles from Bristol. 
 Tlie tradition is that Governor Bradford, when a young man, paid his addresses to Alice Car- 
 penter ; but on account of his inferiority in rank was opposed by her parents. Consequently 
 against her natural feelings sire was induced to marry Southworth. By him she had two 
 children and was left a widow. Bradford after his arrival in America, became Governor, and 
 having lost his wife soon after wrote to his first love in substance like this : 
 
 ■' I am not that Bill Bradford 1 once was. I am now Governor of the Colony, a widower, 
 and if vou will come to America I am at your service." Accordingly she came in the 
 ship Anne, arrived at \^'eymouth in June, 1623, and soon after her arrival married Governor 
 Bradford. They were married Aug. 14, 1623, and theirs was the fourth marriage in the Colony. 
 Governor Bradford came over in the Mayflower, in the year 1620, with his wife Dorothy. They 
 were married at Leyden, Nov. 30, 1613. She was drowned in Cape Cod harbor, at anchorage. 
 It was then he married for his second wife, Alice Carpenter Southworth. 
 
 Mr. Bradford was chosen Governor in the year 162 i when only 31 years of age, and was 
 elected every year (except five) to 1657, serving as Governor 31 years. His wife Alice was 
 highly respected by the whole community. 
 
 Julia Ann; m. George Morton, of York, England, July 23, 1612. 
 
 Her father, Alexander Carpenter, and her sister, Alice Carpenter, were witnesses to her 
 marriage ; also Ann Robinson, and Thomas Morton, brother of the groom. George Morton 
 with his wife Julia Ann Carpenter arrived at Plymouth in the ship " Anne ", Captain William 
 Pierce, Master, in July, 1623. They brought with them four children. 
 
 Agnes; m. Dr. Samuel Fuller, April 30, 1613. 
 
 She died before her husband came to America and was buried beneath St. Peter's church 
 in old Ley.den Town. In the record of their marriage she is represented as being from \\'ring- 
 ton, England. At the marriage \\'illiam Hoyt, the groom's brother-in-law, and Alice Carpen- 
 ter, the bride's sister, were the witnesses. After the death of .Vgnes, Dr. Fuller came to 
 America in the Mayflower and married for his third wife, Bridget, the sister of his first wife.

 GENERATION THREE. 
 
 EXPLANATION. 
 
 The generations of the family are numbered from William Carpenter' born about 1540. 
 He will be called Generation i in the American Ancestry. His name will be found in the 
 English family No. 8 a great-grandson of William Carpenter of Homme, in the Tyrconnel 
 line of Lord George Carpenter. 
 
 William Carpenter^ born in 1576, a resident of London and son of the above named Wil- 
 liam Carpenter No. 8, who came over in the Bevis in 1638 with his son William, wife Abigail 
 and returned in the same vessel in which he came over, will be Generation 2 in the Rehoboth 
 family. 
 
 William Carpenter'', No. 16, born in England 1605, who came to America in the ship 
 Bevis, the progenitor of the Rehoboth family is Generation 3 in this genealogy and his family 
 will be No. 7 ; from these No's, the families will be continued in their order. 
 
 William Carpenter No. 16, wife Abigail, had seven children viz : John No. 17 ; William 
 No. 18 ; Joseph No. 19 ; Hannah No. 20 ; Abiah No. 21 ; Abigail No. 22 and Samuel No. 23. 
 From the foregoing No's the American Ancestry will be continued in the order as they will 
 appear on this record. 
 
 Directly under the head of the family will be given the name in each generation (one or 
 more) as will appear with the individual number attached to each name as an index to the 
 family, showing the line back to one of the five brothers, sons of William Carpenter named 
 above, showing at a glance from which of the five the family descended, alsowhere each name 
 can be found in the individual line. 
 
 16. I. William'' was b. 1605 ; his wife was Abigail \ she d. Feb. 22, 1687 ; he d. (7) 
 
 Feb. 7, 1659, in Rehoboth, Mass. A farmer. 
 
 William Carpenter was admitted a freeman of Weymouth, May 13, 1640; was representative of 
 Weymouth, in 1641 and 1643 and from the town of Rehoboth in 1645 ; constable in 1641. He 
 was admitted as an inhabitant of Rehoboth, Mass., March 28, 1645. In June of the same year 
 he and others were made freemen of Rehoboth. Governor Bradford (who married his cousin 
 Alice) manifested great friendship for William Carpenter and favored him in all his measures in 
 the Plymouth Court; and ever after that it appears from all their dealings and transactions 
 whether private or public, that they were close friends. Tliere is no doubt but that it 'was 
 through the influence of Gov. Bradford and his wife Alice that William Carpenter of Wey- 
 mouth was induced to come to New England; and by William Carpenter of Providence, the 
 Seekonk Plain was pointed out to his cousin, William of Weymouth, on account of its adapta- 
 bility as a tract of territory for a colony. 
 
 During the two years' residence in America of William of Providence, (before William of Wey- 
 mouth came over), he must have learned about the soil and location. Soon after William of 
 Weymouth landed, his attention was drawn to this location, probably by his cousin, and he com- 
 menced immediately to go to work to secure it; and there is no doubt but that William of Wey- 
 mouth had as much or more to do in settling a colony there than any one of the proprietors. He 
 was in the colony only three years when he was elected to the General Court of Plymouth and 
 no doubt for the purpose of obtaining permission to make a purchase of this territory. In 1641 
 he was representative of Weymouth to the General Court, and through his influence the permis- 
 sion was granted. The Court conceded all that he asked as appears from an extract from the 
 Proprietor's Record. (See Vol. I., p. i). 
 
 "Whereas, The Court of Plymouth was pleased in the year 1641 (thereabouts) to grant unto the 
 inhabitants of Seekonk (alias Rehoboth) liberty to take up a tract of land for their comfortable 
 subsistence containing a quantity of eight miles square; and the Court was pleased to appoint 
 Mr. John Brown and Mr. Edward Winslow to purchase the aforesaid tract of land of Asamacum, 
 the chief sachem and owner thereof, which accordingly hath been effected, and the purchase 
 paid for by the aforesaid inhabitants according to the Court order." This was the same tract of 
 
REHOBOTH FAMILY. 39 
 
 land selected by Roger Williams when driven out of the Massachusetts Colony for a settlement, 
 but when it was found to be in the limits of Massachusetts he removed to Providence, R. I. At 
 a proprietors' meeting held in Weymouth before the emigration to Rehoboth, the latter part of 
 the year 1643, William Carpenter was chosen Proprietors' clerk. At a second meeting in Wey- 
 mouth the same year, it was voted to divide the real estate of Rehoboth according to the person 
 and value of each settler. 
 
 The Town Records of Rehoboth commenced in 1643. The territory of the Town included what 
 is now called Attleboro, Seekonk, a part of Cumberland, Swansey and East Providence. Many 
 of the Carpenter residents of these towns are treated as being residents of the old Town of 
 Rehoboth though they may reside in some one of the other towns. The estate of William Car- 
 penter was valued at 254 pounds and 10 shillings. He served as Proprietor.-*' and Town Clerk 
 from 1643 until 1649. 
 
 '• William Carpenter of Weymouth witnessed and seems to have drawn the deed of atract of land 
 from the Indians to John Tower the elder. His autograph on the instrument to which it is 
 attached is a most excellent specimen of the chirography of that age. (New England Register, 
 Vol. I, p. 13-;.)" 
 
 The legal business of the Town or Colony was done principally by him : he was accurate in all his 
 business transactions. ^' He paid at one time eight pounds and seventeen shillings and three pence 
 towards the expenses of King Philip's war. He was one of the committee to lay out a road from 
 Rehoboth to Dedham, at an early day. 
 
 In 1645, William Carpenter with others was chosen to look after the interests of the Town, and 
 again in the same year William was chosen with others to hear and decide on grievances in 
 regard to the division of land by lots : in the same year he was chosen by the Town to represent 
 them in the Court at Plymouth. In 1647 he was chosen as one of the directors of the Town; 
 also again in 1655. In 1653 is the first that his name was written William Carpenter, Sr. His 
 son William would be 2 r at this date and was a resident of the Town. 
 
 The first settlement of the Colony of Rehoboth consisted of 58 members from Weymouth, Mass., 
 who drew lots on the division of lands, June 31, 1644. William Carpenter's name in that division 
 stands as No. 10. By a previous vote of the Proprietors in 1643 there was a mutual agreement 
 that each man's allotment might be taken up according to his person and estate and also that 
 each should bear his share of the public charges both for the present and future. In this list 
 the name of William Carpenter individual No. 16 stood as No. 48 and the value of his estate was 
 estimated at 254 pounds and 10 shillings. The homes of this Colony were built in a semicircle 
 around Seekonk Common and open toward Seekonk river. This semicircle was called " The 
 Ring of the Town." 
 
 At a meeting of the proprietors in 1644 it was voted that nine men should be chosen to order the 
 prudential affairs of the plantation and that they should have the power to dispose of the lands 
 in lots of 12, 8 or 6 acres " as in their discretion they think the quality of the estate of the person 
 do require.'' This applies to houselots. It was further ordered that no person should sell his 
 improvements " except to. such as the Town shall accept of." It was also ordered that " the 
 meeting house shall stand in the midst of the Town." It appears evident by tradition that the 
 first meeting house was built in the old graveyard near where the tomb now is and probably 
 faced towards the south. William Carpenter No. 18 and .Samuel No. 23 were buried near the 
 entrance to the church. The residence of William Carpenter No. 16 appears by the description 
 given ill his will and by tradition to have been located in the " Ring " directly east of the meet- 
 ing house. The " Ring " at the present time (1896) is indicated by tradition and by some 12 or 
 more button.wood trees that were set out at an early day in front of the houses ; the stumps or 
 roots of two of the trees are all that is left to indicate where William and his son Samuel! 
 resided. 
 
 .At a meeting the same year (1644) it was ordered "for time past and time to come that all work- 
 men that have worked or shall work in any common work or for anv particular person shall have 
 for their wages for each day's work as follows ; For each laborer from the first day of Novem- 
 ber until the first day of February, 18 pence per day and for the rest of the year 20 pence per 
 day except in harvest ; for six oxen and one man seven shillings and sixpence per day, and for 
 eight oxen eight shillings." The price fixed for wheat was four shillings and sixpence per bushel. 
 Wampum was fixed at eight for a penny.

 According to this will of William Carpenter (No. 16, wife Abigail,) he owned real estate at Paw- 
 tuxet, R. I., called "The Island," which he divided between his daughter Hannah and his son 
 Abiah. Part of this land he purchased from Benedict Arnold and part from his cousin, Joseph, 
 the son of William of Providence. It appears that the land referred to was owned by William 
 of Rehoboth in company with William and Joseph of Providence and occupied by them without 
 any division lines except those made by nature. Pawtuxet is some four or five miles from Prov- 
 idence and was included in that colony. Rehoboth being about eight miles from Pawtuxet on 
 the east side of .Seekonk river easterly, William of Rehoboth would have to pass through Prov- 
 idence to reach Pawtuxet, unless he went by water. The island referred to is made by a bend 
 in the I-'awtuxet River, water not only running around it, but through it from bank to river, 
 dividing it into three lots, suitable for grazing and mowing, the streams fencing it so that sheep 
 and cattle could not wander. Probably there was no spot in all that region from which so much 
 profit could be derived as it was well suited for keeping sl*eep and cattle both winter and 
 summer. 
 
 As William Carpenter of Rehoboth lived only about 13 years after the settlement of that colony 
 it is very strange that he should buy land outside of it unless he had had some friend to advise 
 him of the value of such a purchase. It is also very strange that William of Providence should 
 take a partner from another colony unless one for whom he had a ver\- strong friendship. Can 
 there be any doubt in the mind of the reader who was meant by William of Rehoboth when he

 appointed " Brother Carpenter" to be helpful to his wife in settling the estate or who was meant 
 by " cousin had by ? " It could be no other than Joseph the son of William Carpenter of Provi- 
 dence, R. I. We have more conclusive evidence of the relationship in the record of a purchase 
 of real estate by William Carpenter of Rehoboth from William Carpenter of Providence. The 
 deed of this purchase is on the Records of Warwick, R. I., in which deed William Carpenter of 
 Providence is called •' cousin.'' In the will of William Carpenter of Rehoboth, William Carpen- 
 ter of Providence is called " brother Carpenter " and his son Joseph of Providence is called 
 '■ cousin." 
 
 About 1642, William Carpenter (No. 16), (born in 1605.) was appointed Captain for one or more 
 years by the General Court of Massachusetts at Boston. This appointment was made neces- 
 sary by the attempt of Samuel Gorton and his followers to seize portions of the lands included 
 in the Providence Plantations, claiming them as their own by right of purchase from the Indians. 
 The Providence colonists disputed this claim knowing that they rightfully held the lands through 
 a deed from the Indians to Roger Williams and his 13 associates. Anticipating trouble and 
 knowing that they were too weak to deal with Gorton without the aid of a military organization, 
 the colonists applied for protection to the neighboring colony of Massachusetts and put them- 
 selves under its protection. The following abstract of extracts taken from the historical account 
 of the troubles of that time, (164;). will explain more fully the condition of affairs. 
 
 "William Carpenter of Providence, Benedict Arnold, Robert Cole and William Arnold appeared 
 before the General Court at Boston and yielded themselves and their lands to be governed and 
 protected by the Massachusetts Colony and were accepted by that Colony. In answer to their 
 complaints Samuel Gorton and his associates were summonsed to appear before the General 
 Court of Massachusetts, but they refused to recognize its authority and did not obey the sum- 
 , mons. Gorton was accordingly informed that Commissioners would be sent to Shawomet to 
 investigate the whole matter in dispute and that they would be attended with a sufficient guard 
 to protect them from violence or injury. When the notice that they were on the way reached 
 Gorton and his followers at Shawomet, they dispatched a letter to the Commissioners giving 
 them to understand that if they came in any way hostile, they came at their peril. During the 
 troubles which followed there was blood spilled on both sides.'' ***** 
 
 " Samuel Gorton and his followers came to Pawtuxet from Aquidneck and were received in a 
 friendly manner although not accepted as residents of the Providence Plantations. They were 
 taken into the houses of the colonists who, in some instances, gave them an undivided right in 
 their lands. Gorton soon became very turbulent and over-bearing, claiming to be the legal owner 
 of that territory. The meadow lands, in the bend of the Pawtuxet River, which supplied the 
 new settlers witii hay and pasturage were the cause of the contention which followed. This tract 
 of land was within the limits of the Providence Plantations and was bought by Roger WiUiams 
 and his 13 associates from Canonicus, Chief of the Narragansetts, who gave them a good and 
 valid title. The colony of Providence being weak, Gorton took advantage of their weakness 
 and bought the same tr;;ct of the Indians and thought to maintain his pretended rights by force 
 and also continued to harvest the grass etc. to the damage of \\'illiam Carpenter of Providence 
 and otliers. 
 
 " In 1643 °'' '44 troops were sent from Massachusetts to arrest Gorton and his followers, but being 
 resisted by them the troops were ordered to open fire which brought them to submission and 
 they were taken to Boston and imprisoned." 
 
 The following copy of records will explain more fully the complaints of the colonists. The ancient 
 spelling, punctuation etc. have been retained as being of interest to the reader.

 William Carpenter, then of Weymouth, no doubt received his commission as Captain from the 
 (Governor of .Massachusetts about 1642, at the time of these difficulties, and was called upon to 
 act for the protection and ownership of the Pawtuxet lands. In this way their value and desir- 
 ability and the profit arising from the mowing and pasturage came under his observation. The 
 meadow land in the bend of the Pawtuxet river was called in the will of William Carpenter of 
 Rehoboih, " The Island." 
 
 It appears that soon after these difficulties William Carpenter of Providence and Benedict Arnold 
 became the owners of the Meadows, and Benedict Arnold sold his undivided right to William 
 Carpenter of Rehoboth, Mass., which lands were given, in the will of William Carpenter of 
 Rehoboth, to his daughter Hannah and son Aliiah. 
 
 In 163S a conveyance called the " Towns Evidence " passed between the Indian Sachems Canoni- 
 cus and .Miantonomah and Roger Williams, and then the whole land was conveyed to his twelve 
 associates, reserving a thirteenth share for himself — Roger Williams. By agreement a portion 
 of the tract was set apart, and not to belong to the " common lands " of the town of Providence. 
 
 In the will of William Carpenter of Rehoboth of his land at Pawtuxet to his daughter Hannah : 
 ''Gives her one-third part of my impiopriate." The above extract from the records explains 
 what land was meant in the will by '"impropriate'"

 Gibbons and was assisted by Thomas Osborn. His brother, Joseph appeared as plaintiff at 
 Hartford, June, 1648. In the year 1660 John bought land in Hempstead, Long Island, and in 
 the deed he is called "John Carpenter of Huntington, Conn." He is mentioned in his father's 
 will of April 21, 165S, in which he gives him one mare, being the old white mare, etc., and to the 
 grandson, (son of the aforesaid John) twenty shillings to buy him a calf. It appears that the 
 name of the son was not known at that time or it would have been mentioned.

 John Carpenter was in Stratford, Conn, in the year of 1646. Hinman says that John Carpenter of 
 Hempstead, Long Island, was accepted as a freeman by the General Court of Connecticut if he 
 chose to be a freeman of that State, May, 1664, and with him were some twenty others. 
 
 He was chosen Townsman of Hempstead, Long Island, in the year 1663. He bought land in 
 Jamaica, Long Island, in the year 1665. 
 
 Captain John, Sr. and Captain John, Jr. received their titles by virtue of being Captain of the 
 Jamaica Fusileers, a military Company of that day. The first Captain John Carpenter, (says 
 McDonald), was captain of a company of fusileers in the year 1673, and is also mentioned in the 
 Doc. History of New York as being ordered in 1673, with his company, to defend Fort James, 
 N. v., against the fleet of the Prince of Orange. It was at the time of the re-capture of New 
 York by the Dutch. 
 
 Captain John Carpenter was a resident of Jamaica, L. I. previous to the year 1664 ; was one of the 
 patentees of the town under the " Dongan Patent " of 1680. John Carpenter and Nehemiah 
 Smith were a committee to settle the Rev. John Pruden over the church at Jamaica, June ig, 1676. 
 
 Judge Morgan Carpenter, now deceased, of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., had among his papers the sale of 
 dower dated 1704, in which Hannah Carpenter, of Jamaica, L. I., sells her rights in houses and 
 lands, left her by her late husband. Captain John Carpenter, to her son, William Carpenter. 
 
 A tract of land was bought by John Carpenter 1st, in Jamaica, and occupied by him and three 
 generations after him, each named John ; the last one died young and was not married. 
 
 The ta.x of Captain John Carpenter ist, in 1683, was on i85 pounds sterling; the list on which the 
 above rate was made up stood as follows : Two horses, two oxen, five cows, eleven yearlings, one 
 swine, fifty-two acres of land, and two heads, valued as above. His will of Nov. 10, 1694 reads: 
 " Now ancient, cra2y in body, but sound in mind," etc. The names in the will are Hannah, his 
 wife; John, Hope, Samuel, and William, his sons; Ruth, his daughter; Solomon, a grandson; 
 Abigail and Hannah, granddaughters. He leaves his carpenter tools to his sons. He appears 
 to have been a man of superior judgment who did much to assist in building up the community. 
 His brother-in-law, Joseph, a son of William of Providence, settled at Mosquito Cove. L. I. at 
 about th; same time; the relationship probably had much to do with the settlement of the two 
 families in that locality. 
 
 II. William was b. in England about 1631 or '32 ; m. Friscilla Bennett, Oct. 5, (9) 
 1651 ; she d. Oct. 20, 1663, on the same day thather son Benjamin was born ; 
 he m. 2d Miriam Searles, Dec. lo, 1663; he d. in Rehoboth, Jan. 26, 1703, 
 aged 72 years. His second wife, Miriam, d. May i, 1722, age as marked on 
 stone, 93 years, in Rehoboth. A farmer. 
 
 William was elected Town Clerk of Rehoboth May 13, 1668, and held the office until his death, 
 with the exception of one year, namely, 1693. He was sent to the General Court of Plymouth as 
 deputy in the year 1668 ; was chosen Deacon of the church in the same year; and one of the 
 committee to settle the bounds between the Town of Taunton and the north purchase in the 
 year 1670; and Clerk of the community of the north purchase in the year 1682; and one of a 
 committee to sell the meeting house in the year 1683; and was defendant in Court at Plymouth 
 in the year 166S. He was sent as deputy to the Plymouth Court in the year 1656. He was one 
 of the purchasers of the north purchase, and drew his lot in the meadow May 26. 1668. 
 
 .Vt a meeting of the Purchasers of the North Purchase, Feb. iS, 1685, it was voted that there should 
 be a division of fifty acres to each shareholder. William Caipenter was chosen surveyor. At 
 this time he surveyed out S3 fifty-acre lots. 
 
 He was a man of superior ability, accurate in all of his business transactions, and a reliable coun- 
 cellor in the colony ; and he was noted also for his superior penmanship, as all his writings show. 
 His house stood on the left hand side of the road leading from the East Providence meeting 
 house lo Rehoboth, Mass., some fifty to sixty rods from the crossing of the "ten mile river,"— 
 on a rise of land, and was one of the pleasantest spots for a house in tliat localitv. His estate 
 amounted to 215 pounds, 5 shillings and four pence. 
 
 The stones that marked the graves of William Carpenter an"d his wife, Miriam have been taken up 
 
 J and removed and now lie at the foot of Daniel Carpenter and his wife, Susanna's graves, with 
 the letter side up, the lettering apparently as perfect as when first made, and plainly readable.

 19. III. losKPH was born in England probably about 1633; m. Afn/xc'i'^ Sutton, (lO) 
 daughter of John Sutton, May 25, 1655. He was buried May 6, 1675, two 
 days after the birth of the youngest child. There is no doubt but that he is 
 the Joseph who was Plaintiff in Court at Hartford, Conn., in June, 1648. 
 Joseph was buried near the 100 acre cove in Barrington. Margaret (Sutton) 
 Carpenter was buried in the East Providence burial ground. The stone is 
 marked "M. C. ]J. Y. 1700 A. G. 65." The letters on this stone are very 
 plain. 
 
 Joseph was one of the founders of the first Baptist church in .Massachusetts in 1663. Rev. Mr. 
 Miles formed the fourth Baptist church in America, at Swansey, consisting of seven 
 members. Joseph was one of the seven members who contributed to the building of the house 
 in consecjuence of which he was fined five pounds, prohibited from worship for the space of 
 one month. The variance that appeared in their religious belief did not disturb his business 
 relations with the family or settlers of Rehoboth, as he was one of the company of the North 
 purchase and drew one share. He moved from Rehoboth to .Swansea in i66t or 1662, soon after 
 his father died. 
 
 The Plymouth Colony Records say that on " May 25, 1657, Joseph Carpenter has eight acres of 
 land granted him, adjoining the lot he now liveth on. which was given to John Titus." 
 
 His will was dated the 3d of May. 1676 ; he gives land to his three sons ; namely, Joseph, Benja-

 min and John. He also gave unto them his rights in common of Rehoboth, likewise, his rights 
 in Swansey. His will also reads ; — " that now my wife is with child, shall have his part in the 
 lands before described." He give his three sons his tools, excepting an ax and a hoe ; these, he 
 wills to his wife. He gave his wearing apparel to Joseph and Benjamin. To his five daughters 
 he gave ten shillings apiece, to be paid them by his wife. He.i;ives his wife his housing, house 
 lot, and all his lands and goods, but if she married again, she was to give up one-half, and the 
 rest she was to enjoy while she lived, and was to be at her disposal to "some or one of my 
 children " as was most dutiful to her. He gives her all the rest of his real estate, and she was 
 to pay his daughter's legacies and debts. He appointed his wife the executrix; and he desired 
 his loving brothers William and Samuel to be his overseers. 
 
 20. IV. Hannah was b. at Weymouth April 3, 1640, as appears on the Plymouth Colony 
 
 records. When her father's will was made she was 18 years, 6 months of 
 age. There is no doubt but that at this time she was engaged to be married 
 to her cousin, Joseph Carpenter, son of William Carpenter of Providence as 
 is indicated by the following paragraph in the will : 
 
 " I give to my daughter Hannah half of my common at Pawtuxet (except the house lot) that land 
 laid out to cousin that I had for the lowland, cousin Carpenter had by.'' 
 
 .It is evident that William Carpenter of Rehoboth joined with a company at Providence, R. I., in 
 which company were William Carpenter and Joseph his son, of Providence, and that he made a 
 purchase of land in l-'awtuxet within the jurisdiction of Providence Plantations. It appears that 
 Joseph's lot at I-'awtuxet was near or joining that taken by William of Rehoboth. Hannah's 
 father, knowing that her interest was in Pawtuxtt and that she was about to settle there, gave 
 her her portion of his estate in land at Pawtuxet joining that of Joseph's, which, after Hannah's 
 death, Joseph sold as coming to him by his father-in-law, \\'illiam Carpenter of Rehoboth. 
 
 There is no doubt but that Joseph was called " cousin" in the will, and when William appointed 
 his brother Carpenter therein " to be helpful to his wife," he meant \\'illiam Carpenter, of Provi- 
 dence, R. I. 
 
 Joseph, the son of William of Providence, was born in 1640, and was married to Hannah, daughter 
 of William of Rehoboth, April 21, 1659, the same year that her father died. Joseph died at 
 Mosquito Cove, L. I., in 16S3. He married for his second wife, Ann, daughter of Francis 
 Wiekes. Hannah went with her husband to Mosquito Cove and died there about the year 1670. 
 Their children were Joseph, William and Nathaniel and one or more daughters. He exchanged 
 land with his brothei-in-law, Abiah Carpenter of Pawtuxet, in 1673. Joseph then resided at 
 Mosquito Cove, and in his deed to Abiah he gave the following description : ■' All of my right 
 of land that fell to nie by my wife by will of her father." 
 
 21. V. Abiah a twin brother to Abigail. They were b. in \\eymouth, April 9, 1643. (Il) 
 The Nl-w England Register refers to " Abia daughter, and Abraham son, born Feb. 9, 1643, 
 
 children of|William Carpenter." William Carpenter had by his wife Abigail, a son and daughter 
 born as stated abo\e ; one of the two appears on the records sometimes as Abiah and sometimes as 
 Abijah, but always, on all records except the above, as a son and not a daughter. Abraham 
 could not be the daughter, therefore our natural conclusion is that the name Abigail was given 
 wrongly as Abraham when recorded. The records of Rehoboth do not mention an Abraham 
 and in the will of William Carpenter we find Abigail mentioned next after Abiah. We can 
 come to no rational conclusion but that Abiah and Abigail were twins, born as stated above. 
 Abiah was probably married about 1659, as his son Abiah was admitted a freeman of Rhode 
 Island in 1681. The indications are that he married for his second wife a sister of Ann Wiekes, 
 the second wife of Joseph Carpenter of Mosquito Cove. L. I., but have been unable to find any 
 account of his marriage on the Records of the Providence Plantations. 
 William Carpenter, in his will, divided his real estate at Pawtuxet between Hannah and Abiah, 
 but gave the largest portion to Abiah, including the house-lot on this land which he settled, 
 (probably the same land that William, his father, bought of Benedict Arnold, in 1652.) Abiah 
 was 16 years of age when his father died, and at about this time chose the calling of a mariner. 
 Possibly it was for this reason that his father left him the History of the World in his will. 
 Abiah and his wife wtre appointed guardians to Alary Baker, daughter of William and Mary 
 Baker, in, 1669, for which Abiah agreed to give Mary a cow calf in one year, the calf to be one

 year old. He took a receipt of William Baker and bis wife Mary, for a yearling heifer in 1669. 
 
 He testified before the Court Martial which sat at Newport to try certain Indians charged with 
 being engaged in King Philip's designs, that Wenanaquabin, who had been living with him, 
 went away from his house some time in May, 1675, and he did not see him again nor could he 
 hear from him until towards winter. Wenanaquabin had been charged with being at the 
 wounding of John Scott at Providence.* 
 
 Abiah was fined 20 pounds for not serving on a jury. He was elected deputy in 1682 and was on 
 the Grand Jury Dec. 13, 1687, 
 
 Joseph Carpenter of Mosquito Cove, L. I., (his brother-in-law), sold land to Abiah, Nov. 30, 1668. 
 Abiah deeded the same back to Joseph, January, 1669. It is evident that Joseph of Mosquito 
 Cove deeded this land as a gift to induce Abiah, his brother-in-law, to move to Mosquito Cove, 
 which Abiah declined to accept. It is very certain that Abiah went with Joseph and Hannah 
 to Long Island, but after the death of his sister Hannah he returned to Pawtuxet. Hence the 
 exchange of land, Abiah having a bouse-lot at Mosquito Cove which he deeded to Joseph. 
 (A copy of a deed from Joseph Carpenter of Mosquito Cove to Abiah Carpenter of Patidiixet.) 
 
 "This instrument of writing declaretb to all to whom it may concern that Joseph Carpenter of 
 Mosquito Cove on Long Island, within the Colony of His Royal Highness James Duke of York, 
 do make and have made an exchange of lands with my brother-in-law Abiah Carpenter of Paw- 
 tuxet in Rhode Island Colony. The said land which 1 exchanged with my brother Abiah Car- 
 penter is all my right of land and commonage which fell to me by my wife by will of her father, 
 and also a third part of my land which lieth between the cove and the Pawtuxet river, and also 
 five pounds to be paid at Michaelmas following the date thereof. I say I have made over from 
 me, my heirs and assigns from all my right, title and interest of the above referred to lands, to 
 my said brother-in-law, Abiah Carpenter, to him, his heirs and assigns forever and to hold as his 
 or their own perfect right, title or interest, and this as my real act I have herewith set my hand

 Second.

 We find by the marriage record of his son Joseph that Abiah died previous to 1702. Land was 
 sold by Oliver the son of Abiah died previous to 1702. Land was sold by Oliver the son of 
 Abiah Carpenter, in 1699, the deed of which states that Abiah was then deceased. — IVarwick 
 Records. 
 
 We have not been able to learn by records or tradition to whom or at whattime .\biah was married, 
 but we find that his son Abiali was admitted as a freeman of R. I., in 1681, which indicates that 
 the son was born in 1660 or before. 
 
 :. VI. Abig.vil was b. April 9, 1643, at \^'e)^nouth, Mass.; va.. John Titus, Jr., in 1659. 
 John Titus' first wife was Rachel and by her he had the following children : 
 I, John, b. Dec. 18, 1650 ; m. Lydia Readaway, July 17, 1673 and for 2d wife 
 SarahMiller, July3, 1678 ; 2, Abigail, b. Feb. 18, 1654 ; 3, .Silas, b. May 18, 
 1656; 4, Hannah, b. Nov. 28, 1658. By his wife Abigail he had 5, Samuel, 
 b. June I, 1661 ; 6, Joseph, b. March 17, 1665, m. Martha Palmer, Jan. 19, 
 1687 or8 probably daughter of Jonah Palmer; 7, Mary, b. March 17, 1665 ; 
 8, Experience, b. April ig, 1669. John Titus, Sr. and John Titus, Jr., were 
 engaged in King Philip's war in 1675. John Titus' first wife Rachel, proba- 
 bly died in 1658, soon after her daughter Hannah was born, as it is evident 
 that a contemplated marriage with Abigail Carpenter was known to her father, 
 William Carpenter, when the body of his will was written. They were proba- 
 bly married after the will was written but before the addition of the memo- 
 randum in which John Titus is called " son." Samuel, the son of John Titus 
 and Abigail Carpenter, was born June i, 1661, and was no doubt their eldest 
 child. On the Rehoboth Town Records the family is recorded as the children

 of John Titus by wife Rachel ; in the settlement of the estate his wife is 
 called Abigail. John Titus in his will refers to cousin Samuel Car- 
 penter ; he also refers to Samuel Carpenter, the son of Samuel, who 
 held the homestead. He also refers to William by appointing him 
 overseer of his will. Abigail died March 5, 17 10, the widow of Jonah 
 Palmer, Sr. Her age is not given. They were married Nov. 9, 1692, he died 
 June 22, 1709 in Rehoboth. Jonah Palmer was the son of ^^'i^iam Palmer 
 by his first wife, and came with his father to America in 1629 and lived in 
 Charlestown, Mass., until 1657 when he married Elisabeth Grissill and moved 
 to Rehoboth. They had six children ; no children by second wife. 
 23. \TI. Samuel was b. probably in 1644 and the youngest son of William 16, (12) 
 he married Sara// Readaway of Rehoboth, May 25, 1660. He d. Feb. 20, 
 1682 or 1683. She (Sarah) m. Gilbert Brooks for her second hu.sband. Sam- 
 uel and others were chosen to lay out land in 1680. By Sarah he had ten 
 children, nine sons and one daughter. All were minors except three (two 
 sons and a daughter) when he died. Guardians were appointed over five of 
 the sons. 
 
 ■Samuel was one of the purchasers in the North purchase, and land was allotted to him in the 
 division of Feb. 5, 1671. 
 
 By the town council of Rehoboth it is agreed upon (as found on records of May 16, j 680) that 
 William Blanding shall have one-half acre of land on the Common to build a house upon the 
 edge of Rocky Hill. Lieut. Hunt, Samuel Carpenter and J. Peck were chosen to lay out the 
 said land and set the expense of it and perfix the time when he shall build, which if he neglects, 
 he shall forfeit the land to the town again, 
 
 I do not find Samuel acting as a Freeman until after the names of all the others have appeared in 
 that capacity. From all the gatherings, he was a man of fair ability, reliable, and a worthy citi- 
 zen ; probably not educated, as his father died when he was young, and the work of the farm 
 which was given to him and his mother gave him no time for schooling. 
 
 The will indicates that Samuel was the youngest Ijv being the last named ; and it appears that he 
 was left under the care of his mother. They were apparently joint owners in the home farm. 
 
 Abiah did not have a house on the land given to him, and there was no indication that he had 
 acquired a home for himself. The will provides that .Samuel and his mother should assist him 
 in building a house. The assistance of the mother would not have been required if Samuel had 
 been of suitable age to have done the work. The circumstances tend to show that Abiah and 
 Samuel were left under the directions and care of the mother, who proved to be a very capable 
 woman. This view is confirmed by the will of William Carpenter as he gave to his wife, Abi- 
 gail, the cloth in the house towards clothing herself and the children with her. Abiah and 
 Samuel were the only ones of the family who were left at home, all the rest had homes of their 
 . own, ' .Samuel gave at one time towards the expense of King Philip's war ^11, 19 s,, 5 d. Sam- 
 uel and Abiah Carpenter, sons of Samuel, in connection with the settlement of their father's 
 real estate, mention the name of their uncle John Carpenter (referring to John of Jamaica); also 
 the names of Jacob and James, Sept, 12, 1688, from which we have reason to infer that Jacob 
 was then living but had emigrated to parts unknown to the compiler. The following records 
 relate to the settlement of Samuel's estate : 
 
 " Know all men by these presents, — that I, Gilbert Brooks, and Sarah, my wife, of the Town of 
 Rehoboth in the County of Bristol, do by these presents acknowledge the receipt in full and

 Gilbert Brooks who married Sarah the widow of Samuel Carpenter, paid at one time towards the 
 expenses of King Philip's war ^3, 15 a., 10 d. Gilbert Brook's was chosen deputy to attend the 
 General Court at Plymouth in 1679 again in i68i. In 1680 he was one of the selectmen of 
 Rehoboth. 
 
 The burying ground in Rehoboth, now East Providence, where many of the early members of the 
 Carpenter family are now buried, was visited by the compiler in 1844 and '45. He spent several 
 days in the yard, and found it in a very dilapidated condition; many of the stones were fallen, 
 and lay on the ground, grown over by bushes, grass and weeds, and the accumulations of soil, 
 which completely concealed them from view. Others had tipped partly over, and were sunkert 
 into the ground, so that their inscriptions could not be read. As many were righted as could 
 well be done in the short time the compiler was there. The stones on which the slab rested on 
 which the Carpenter Coat of Arms was engraved, (the noted stone to the memory of Daniel 
 Carpenter) had sunken into the ground so that the slab was very far from being level- some 
 portions of it resting nearly, if not quite on the ground, devoid of any regular form. The stone 
 of Daniel's wife Susannah was in the same condition. 
 
 When he next visited the yard, about 50 years later in 1893, he found the slab on Daniel Carpen- 
 ter's grave, had been raised to its proper height and place, but his wife Susannah's remained 
 nearly the same as seen in 1844. He also found the stones that marked our worthy father Wil- 
 liam Carpenter and his wife Miriam's grave, taken up out of the swamp of blackberry bushes 
 and vines, and now they lie at the foot of 13aniel and Susannah's graves, side by side, with the 
 letter-side up. The letters were very distinct, as if recently cut. 
 
 On the last visit, some of the family lots showed that they had received special care by the descend- 
 ants, and were in elegant condition, corresponding with the present style of family lots. It is at 
 this burial ground that William Carpenter, No. 16, and wife Abigail are supposed to be buried, 
 but the compiler was unable to find a stone that marked their graves. William resided here 
 only about 13 years before he died, and must have been one of the first l)uried in this yard.

 ^ It is a beautiful piece of ground directly in front of the Newman Meeting house, only a few rods 
 from it. The Chapel is still called the " Newman Meeting house." It has been renovated 
 several times since occupied by the Rev. Mr. Newman. The Newman residence was not far 
 from this church; both being in the central part of the Common, around which, in a semi-circle, 
 the settlers built their houses. 
 
 The compiler was unable to find any stone that marked the grave of Samuel Carpenter, son of 
 William No. i6. He found two stones among the vines (in '93) marked " S. C", the letters being 
 very plain, and concluded that one of them was probably for the head, and the other the foot 
 stone of Samuel Carpenter, on which no dates could be found. 
 
 Only two of the five brothers were buried in this yard, John died at Jamaica, L. I., Joseph at Bar- 
 rington or Swansea, Mass., and Abiah at Pawtuxet, R. I. 
 
 It was found recorded on the town book that the town of Rehoboth voted to fence thisburying-

 amounting to ^55 sterling. 
 
 Hope had in his family from 1671 to 16S8, one christening and one burial. Hope and Samuel and 
 others refused to pay a tax in support of the Episcopal church and were arrested Feb. 25. i703,and 
 the matter kept in Court till March 31, 1705, when it was dismissed. Hope and Samuel were both

 wife was \Mdow Sara/i Day, relict of Ralph Day of IJedham, Mass. 
 
 He moved to Woodstock, Conn., about 1690. By a vote of the Town of Woodstock in 1692, he 
 was allowed two acres of land for every acre wanted in completing his home lot. He was 
 employed in finishing the meeting- house about 1692, by a vote of the Town of Woodstock. He 
 had an estate amounting to two hundred and thirteen pounds. It was this John who served 
 during King Philip's War, and advanced money to carry on the same to the amount of ^i, 
 i8s., 6d, He was also in the Marragansett e.xpedition in 1675. He was made Captain of a com- 
 pany in the French and Indian War from Woodstock, Conn. 
 
 There is no doubt but that his first wife, Rebecca Readaway, was a sister to Sarah Readavvay, the 
 wife of Samuel Carpenter and that they were the daughters of James Readaway. James Read- 
 away gives by will to his grandson Eliphalet Carpenter, terming himself his grandfather, 16 
 acres of land more or less. Eliphalet was an orphan proprietor of land in Rehoboth, Feb. 7, i68g, 
 and inherited his proprietorship by will of his grandfather. 
 
 It appears that John remained in Rehoboth and Swansea and worked at his trade in different 
 townships, as we find him in Rehoboth, Attleboro, Swansea, and Dedham, Mass., Woodstock, 
 Conn., and other towns. He is called ''John Carpenter of Dedham, Mass.'' He was in 
 Swansea in 1689 when he sold out his real estate to John Butterworth, Sr., and it appears the 
 next year, 1690, he went to Woodstock, Conn. John Carpenter (housewright) of Dedham, Suf- 
 folk Co., Mass., bought land in Woodstock, Conn., hi 1708. 
 
 'X'here is no doubt but that it is this John of Woodstock who married the widow Sarah Day, relict 
 of Ralph Day who died Oct. 21, 1694. She was the daughter of Thomas and Hannah Fowler Ful- 
 ler of Dedham, Mass. John Carpenter and his wife Sarah Day Carpenter were the administra- 
 tors of the estate of Ralph Day, as will be seen by the following order from the Judge of Pro- 
 bate of Suffolk County, Mass.. to "John Carpenter of Dedham in the County aforesaid and 
 Sarah his wife, (late Sarah Day and wife of Ralph Day. late of Dedham, bricklayer) adminis- 
 trators of ihe estate of Ralph Day, Suffolk County, Mass." 
 
 ■Sarah Fuller was born in Dedham, May 7, 1659, and was married to Ralph Day, Dec. 6, 1682. 
 John Carpenter's wife Sarah survived him and after his death married for her third husband 
 Samuel Ward. 
 
 (The Woodstock Records state that Eliphalet Carpenter of Woodstock. Conn., was a son of John 
 Carpenter of Dedham, housewright.) 
 
 The following is a copy of a deed of sale of real-estate willed to Miriam Carpenter by her late 
 husband, William Carpenter, sold to Daniel Carpenter No. 37, her son, and signed by her and 
 John Carpenter, No. 31, her eldest son ; 
 
 " That whereas William Carpenter, late deceased, did by his late Will and Testament give to his 
 beloved wife, Miriam Carpenter, twenty pounds estate of commons, the Proprietors of the Town 
 of Rehoboth both ordered and granted divisions of land to be laid out and surveyed by virtue of 
 an order and agreement made by the Town of Rehoboth, bearing date the 4th of January, 1702

 He was in the doleful expedition of Phillips against Quebec in 1690, as appears by the following 
 letter to his father, William Carpenter, written at Weymouth, probably July 27, i6go, of which 
 the date and first line were torn off. " » « « » this time remembering my loue to my brothers

 (An extract from a letter of Elizabeth M. Perry to Will C. Clark, dated May 3, 1879. She was the 
 
 daughter of Nancy Carpenter No. 2737 who was the daughter of Benjamin Carpenter, No. 
 
 1305, and great grand-daughter of Elisha, No. 503, son of Daniel. 
 " I am glad you spoke of that Daniel Carpenter being in the war at Quebec, for I know the father 
 
 of Elisha was in the old French and Indian war. I have heard my mother speak of it that he 
 
 went to Quebec. I will here write an incident which I have heard my mother and her aunt 
 
 Esther Ingraham repeat of the return trip from Quebec. They crossed the Green Mountains, 
 
 I think somewhere near where we now live, but am not certain. They got short of provisions so 
 
 they were some days without anything to eat. Elisha who was in the same e.xpedition said that 
 
 on the last day he raised his arm to his mouth to bite a piece out but did not do it; but before 
 
 night of that day some one of the soldiers saw a bird and killed it. They tore off the feathers, 
 
 then tore it to pieces and ate it raw. He thought he knew what hunger was.''

 unable to find any record of a son Samuel on record of births and deaths or by 
 but it is evident that there was a Samuel, a near relative of this family, which could not 
 refer to the then known Samuels of Rehoboth or R. I. It would be very natural that Abiah 
 would name a son after his brother Samuel with whom he had been so intimately connected in 
 early life in business matters. We think it is warranted to assume that he had a son Samuel, 
 who was the father of at least five children, who could not at that time have belonged to any 
 known Carpenter family of Providence or Rehoboth, He was probably the first or second son, 
 born about 1670. a resident of Providence Plantation and admitted a freeman there.

 He was much interested in building and supporting a place of worship as is hidicatedby the follow- 
 ing, and took a very active part in that direction, in the community in which he lived: — 
 
 " That whereas, it was conditionally voted and agreed by the inhabitants of the Town of Reho- 
 both, at a lawful town meeting, the 21st day of October, 1717, that the congregation of Palmer's 
 River should have ^50 in money for and towards finishing the meeting bouse now set up and 
 begun to be built at Palmer's River. 
 
 We, the subscribers hereof belonging to the said congregation of Palmer's I^iver do accept of the 
 said fifty pounds according to the said town vote in that matter; and do promise and engage for 
 ourselves, our heirs, executors, and administrators upon the receipt of said fifty pounds wholly 
 to clear and accjuit the town of any further charge or trouble for finishing the aforesaid meeting 
 house now begun at Palmer's River. 
 
 In testimony, and for the confirmation thereof, we have hereunto subscribed our hands this ninth 
 day of June, "Anno Domini" 1718." 
 
 Among the signatures to the above is the name of /Miraham Larpenter. 
 
 " At a meeting lawfully warned the ninth day of June. 171S. the congregation of l-'almer's River 
 being met together, voted to subscribe to the above writing upon the conditions therein men- 
 tioned, as witness our hands. 
 
 And at the same meeting the congregation of Palmer's River chose Nathaniel Peck. Samuel 
 Peck, and Jonathan Bliss, a committee to demand these ^50. of the selectmen of Rehoboth, 
 and to receive it and give a discharge of the same according to the town vote." 
 
 " It was voted by the Community that the rules to be observed in seating the new meeting house 
 for the .Sabbath are as follows: — 
 
 (i) — To have regard to dignity of person. 
 (2)^l!yage. 
 
 (3) — According to the charge they bear in respect to public charges, and what charges they 
 have been put to in building the meetinghouse." 
 
 " A Committee was cliosen to seat the house according to the above rules. — 1718." 
 
 The last will and Test.iment of Abraham Carpenter, dated Jan. 2. 1756, proved Oct. 24, 1758, gives 
 to his son Abiel whom he makes executor, one-half of his estate ; to his grandson Abraham, the 
 other half; to his wife Eleanor all the in-door movables, and after her decease to be divided 
 between "my grand-daughter Abiel Carpenter, and Lois Carpenter the daughter of my grand- 
 daughter Amey." Both Abiel and Abraham are to pay ^5 to the grand-daughter Abiel when 
 she comes of age. \\'itnessed by Thomas Carpenter, Joseph Hopkins and Judith Carpenter. By 
 the will it appears that .Abiel was his only living child.

 74. II. John was b. about 1685 ; m. Jiiith Coc, and removed to Goshen, N. Y. (42) 
 
 He was called John the Sheriff to distinguish him from others by the name of John. He served 
 as sheriff for the County of Orange in New York at one time. After he d. his wife Ruth m. for 
 her second husband a .Mr. Thurston and proljably kept the records of the family. She was a 
 resident of Orange County. He bought land of his father in 1704 or 1705. He exchanged land 
 in 1706 and sold to his brother Joseph in 1714 a 20-acre lot. 
 
 In the history of Orange County we find tliat on July 10, 1721, JoHn Everett, John Carpenter 2d, 
 and John Carpenter 3d, Jr. and others gave a deed of land in trusttolay out a Presbyterian church, 
 cemetery, parsonage and streets and in all al)OUt 140 acres. In 1S95 the Presbyterian church 
 celebrated its 175th year. The name of Carpenter in Goshen since 1721 has appeared to be very 
 numerous.

 Wait Smith. 
 
 He bought land in Jamaica in 171^1 ; he bought land of his father in 1709, which indicates that he 
 was born previous to 168.S: he also buys and sells land in Jamaica in 1720.

 HOPE CARPENTER* 25, of John 17. 
 Geu. 6. Children 5. All b. in Jamaica, L. I. 
 
 82. I. HoPK was b. about 1685 ; his wife was Elizabeth. (45) 
 
 It appears that the family left Jamaica about the time or soon after the father died as land 
 was sold there in Jamaica, that formerly belonged to Hope Carpenter deceased, in 1721. And 
 Joseph Carpenter bought land that formerly belonged to Capt. John Carpenter ist, which he gave 
 by will to his son Hope in 1718. Hope or his father, sold land at twelve different times from 
 1699 to 1712. From i68t to 168S there was one birth and one burial in the family of Hope Car- 
 penter. Hope Sr. and Hope Jr. bought land at White Plains, N. Y., July 5, 1700. Hope Jr. and 
 Elizabeth his wife sold this land April 8, 1715. It appears that he had his portion of his father's 
 estate as he went along, as the will states : "I give to son Plope, 5 shillings, because I have 
 done so much for him already." His residence was in Elizabethtown, N. J., in 1720 ; he proba- 
 bly moved there about 1712. The rest of the family went to Hopewell, near Burlington, N. J. 
 
 83. n. Ashman was b. about the year 1691; m. Lncy Amelia. (46) 
 
 By his father's will land was given him and his two brothers, Hezekiah and John, in Hopewell, 
 
 N. J. The estate of Hope Carpenter was settled by John Muirhead of Hopewell, late deceased. 
 May 13, 1713. By this it appears that his son Hope had nothing to do with the settlement of his 
 estate, as it seems he had been fully paid his share of the e.state before his father made his will.

 85. ly. luHN was b. about i6go ; he emigrated from Jamaica, L. I., to Hopewell (48) 
 
 Township, N. J.; he m. A/ary Hurst, daughter of Capt. Ralph Hurst. 
 
 He made his will Oct. 1, 1744 ; it was admitted to Probate April 2, 1745. He paid a tax in Hope- 
 well on 90 acres of land in 1722 and in 1731 was one of the subscril)ersfor the purchase of a par- 
 sonage for the pastor of the I-'resbyterian church of what is now Lawrence and Hopewell. This 
 does not refer to the village of Hopewell but to the Township of Hopewell. 
 
 We find a John Carpenter, probably a son of the above named John, a subscriber to the pastor's 
 salary in 1769. We find another John Carpenter, probably a grandson of the first-named John, 
 who resided in l^ennington and kept a hotel there between 1S20 and 1830. He married the 
 daughter of Joseph W. l-'hillipsof Hopewell ; he died probably about r835 ; he had a daughter 
 who married a Bekanan; he was also Township Clerk and a member of thf Township Commit- 
 tee in 1820 and 1822. This is no doubt the same John Carpenter who kept the hotel at Penning- 
 ton. The Committee met at his house. The old hotel is still standing at Pennington.

 87. L A daughter who m. a Smith. She had a son named John Smith and a grandson 
 
 named \'\'illiam Smith. 
 
 88. n. John was b. about 1687. (40, see 1669.) 
 
 The history of Orange County, N. Y., mentions John Carpenter as being one of the first set- 
 tlers of tioshen. And this John must have been a son of William of Hempstead, as a John 
 Carpenter of Goshen sold IJaniel, the son of William, the third of land given by William of 
 Hempstead to his son John. John Carpenter of Goshen, Orange County, sold land to Daniel 
 Carpenter of Hempstead. L. I., on April 5, 1751 ; thus showing conclusively that John and 
 IJaniel were the sons of William and that John went to Goshen at an early day. 
 
 89. in. Daniel; m. Sarali or Margaret Halt, in 1752, and purchased a large (50) 
 
 farm in Dutchess Co., N. Y., in 1753 and d. there. His will divides his 
 property amongst his nine children. 
 
 90. IV. Eliazbe I'H ; m Jo/in Bedell. 'Phey had a daughter Sarah who m. Peter Cooper. 
 
 Peter Cooper was born in New York, Feb. 12, 1791, and married Miss Sarah Bedell of Hempstead, 
 L. I., Dec, 1813, when 21 years of age he went to Hempstead, L. I., to work for his brother; 
 while he was there he probably became acquainted with his future wife, Miss Bedell, great- 
 grand-daughter of John Carpenter No. 17. 
 
 The philanthropist asserts that he never had any reason to regret his choice in selecting a partner 
 for life; to the last he .spoke of his wife as a "help-mate," who did most to bring about the 
 success which crowned his later efforts, and aided most in making his life a happy one. 
 
 She died in 1869 on the 56th anniversary of their weddingday, and it was remarked of her in the 
 funeral discourse " Here are the ashes of a woman of the Puritan Huguenot spirit, who made 
 no complaints about the inequality of her woman's lot, or the monotony and oppression of a wife 
 and mother's duties; and she was satisfied with the place Providence had allotted to woman." 
 
 Peter Cooper ran the first locomotive over the Baltimore and Ohio R. R.: he helped to lay the 
 Atlantic Cable ; he gave to the city of New York one of her noblest institutions, " The Cooper 
 Institute;" he earned and gave away millions of dollars ; and he was at one time a candidate for 
 the Presidency of the United States. 
 
 The memory and the example of Peter Cooper, the practical philanthropist, the true Christian, 
 the friend of the people, will long survive to inspire and bless unnumbered generations.

 It is evident that Joseph, brother of Samuel and Benjamin, settled in and about Goshen as

 Jr. was over 21 years of age in 1775.

 In will of John Gale of Goshen, dated Oct. 10, 1760, mention is made of land of Timothy Carpen- 
 ter as a boundary to his own property, — Joseph Carpenter being settled at Lattingtown, Ulster 
 Co. So we find that these " five brothers " were all located closely, and progenitors of the numer- 
 ous family of the name in that part of the state.

 it is said that he was a lawyer and merchant. Tradition says that he was 
 
 "killed by the Indians at Charlestown, N. H." but his grave-stone is in 
 
 Rehoboth. 
 
 From a scrap-book that he used while in college is found one page headed, " CUSTOMS, " and is 
 written as below : 
 
 CUSTOMS. 
 
 1. No freshman shall wear his hat in the College yard, except it rains, snows, hails ; or he is on 
 horse-back, or has both hands full, or the like. 
 
 2. No freshman shall talk saucily to his senior, or speak to him with his hat on; but if he be a

 On the cover of his book is the name of Cyril Carpenter, born 1736 ; the name was written in Latin. 
 
 We also find on the same cover the Carpenter Coat of Arms. " .\rgent, A Grey Hound, Passant 
 
 A Chief Sable is borne by the name of Carpenter." 
 This appears over 30 years before it was engraved on Daniel Carpenter's grave-stone.

 On Susannah's grave the slab is about six feet long and two and a half wide. An epitaph to her 
 virtues engraved on the slab, has become almost unreadable, but as far as it can be n ad it sets 
 her forth as a very remarkable woman.

 Her Will gives twenty pounds towards a Friend's .Meeting House being built in Pawtuxet. .All 
 the rest of her estate is given to her daughter Sarah ; reserving only if this my daughter should 
 die before she become of age : (or shall ha\e no issue) that then w hat estate I have given in this

 Potter who was executor of the \\'ill of Capt. Abiah Carpenter, rendered an account of his and 
 the executrix's (Sarah Carpenter deceased) settlement of the estate of Capt. Abiah Carpenter, 
 and the records say that Capt. Edward Arnold, executor of the Will of Sarah Carpenter, assented 
 to the account rendered. 
 
 Elizabeth Potter, whose former name was Elizabeth Carpenter, and was a relict of William Car- 
 penter deceased, and administratrix to his estate rendered an account of her administration unto 
 the Town Council the iSth day of September, " .Anno Domini," 1731. Her present husband, 
 Edward Potter, gave bonds with sureties for her further administration and accounting for. 
 
 The Friends' Meeting House referred to in the will of Sarah, relict of Abiah Carpenter, appears 
 to have been built on the home lot of William Carpenter ist of Providence (a house lot at 
 Pawtuxet, R. I.)

 father's will was made in 1727 and before his father died as his father Oliver 
 
 Carpenter settled his son Oliver's estate. 
 
 " The will of Oliver's father was dated Nov. 20, 1727, in which he gives to his grandson, Oliver, 
 jf2oo at age. He also gives to others. The records say that in the same year he took adminis- 
 tration papers at North Kingston on the estate of his son Oliver. Jr. of East Greenwich. And 
 the saine writer states that it is thought that Oliver, the son died after the will was made, before 
 his father died, as he took administration papers out in .North Kingston on the estate of his son 
 Oliver Jr. of East Greenwich, R. 1."

 No's 223, 224, 225, 226, 227 and 228 are dropped. 
 It is evident that Abiah Carpenter, No. 21, had a son Abiah, No. 60, who lived 
 
 and became a citizen of Rhode Island ; his wife was Prudence . His 
 
 family is No. 31, which is dropped for the reason that the meagre records we 
 have been able to obtain of the early records of the families of Pawtuxetdoes 
 not make it clear the names of Abiah's, No. 60, children. It is not impossible 
 but that some of the names set to Abiah, No. 21, ought to be set to Abiah 
 his son. The record as made out and given under No. 31, interfered some- 
 what with the names of other families, therefore it was thought best to drop 
 the whole family and leave the record of this family for a future historian to 
 fill out as additional evidence may appear.

 in his will. Two of his children were born there. He went to Dudley, was in IDudley in 1733,

 ,\ Petition to the town of Relioboth for the benefit of educating the children : — 
 
 Dated iMar. 3, 1737 or 1738. 
 
 ■'To the Gentlemen, — the s'.lect men of the Town of Rehoboth, the petition of us, the subscribers, 
 humbly showeth that whereas (through the blessing of God Almighty), tliere are very many 
 young children growing up amongst us, (thanks be to God therefor) which hath need of teach- 
 ing to read and writ>j and oth'n" good manners which may l)e for the glory of God and the good 
 of their souls, which we thinlt is the dut\- of all men to promote, and that there may be more 
 schooling and learning amongst us as above said. Our request to yourselves is that you would 
 notify the Town seasonably to show tlieir minds (at our annual meeting in this inst. — .March) if 
 they will grant such sum or sums of moni'y as shall be sufficient to defray the charge of hiring 
 two school-masters one year: — tliat is, to pay for the year ensuing the dale aljove written ; for- 
 ever to act and to do what may be thought proper. 
 
 We would humbly inform yourselves that we are willing that the Grammar School may be kept 
 the whole time (so long as tlnere are two scliools maintained by the whole town) in the westerlv 
 and northerly part of the said town, so tliat we have the otlier school in the southerly and 
 easterly part of the town in the meantime ; doubting not but that you will readily grant our peti- 
 tion, but we now and until the same be done as in duty bound shall ever pray.

 Abiah of Rehoboth, grandson of Sanuiel, was a member of the First Baptist 
 church of Providence, R. I. on list of baptized members." We have some 
 doubt as to the correctness of that statement: we are inclined to think that he 
 was a son of Abiah of Pawtuxet. 
 
 251. \' . Sarah was b. March 3, 1696 or 1697 ; she probably m. Noah Chaffee, May 15,

 their third child Olive, b. May 29, 1763 ; m. Abel Carpenter, No. 1885, a

 Rehoboth. 
 
 256. X. JosiAH was b. July, 1696. His name is taken from H. Savage's Dictionary. 
 
 We take exceptions to this statement, but insert it howe\-er. By a careful 
 search of the records, we find no such name, but we do find a " Sarah " born 
 the same year but in another month that Josiah's birth is given. Josiah prob- 
 ably should read Sarah.

 Tradition says that he married a native American Indian woman, and that some of his descend-

 that some of them show it very plainly. ^Irs. \i. Barney, daughter of .^sa Carpenter, grandson

 fret, Conn., published Feb. 3, 1753. Charity Allen was a sister of Gen. Ethan 
 Allen of Vermont. Residence, Rehoboth. 
 
 The last will and testament of Abial Carpenter is dated Dec. 15, 1759. He gives to his eldest son 
 Abraham one cow, one yearling heifer, one gun, one suit of wearing apparel and nothing more, 
 because the grandfather had given him one-half of his estate. To his son Simeon, one-half of 
 his real-estate, one-half the barn, the best corn-crib, and west half of the dwelling house, best 
 suit of apparel, best gun and sword, one-half husbandry tools, etc. To Nathan the other half of 
 the real estate and tools and east half of his dwelling house. To Amy, wife of Benjamin Car- 
 penter, No. 657, 15 shillings, etc. To Abiel, one feather bed with belongings, a good cow, spin- 
 ning wheel, small wheel, small table, three pewter spoons which were her mother's and 
 the privilege of one upper room. To Sarah, ^26 lawful money, to be paid by Simeon ; 
 to I-lachel, the same, to be paid by Nathan; to my true and loving wife Charity Carpenter, the 
 use and control of everything till the sons come of age when she receives her one-third. 
 Witnessed, etc. 
 
 It appears, however that Abial did not die for a number of years. He probably moved to Con- 
 necticut. He acted as one of the school committee for the ninth district of Willington, County 
 of Hartford, and paid a teacher in Tolland, Elizabeth Fellows, the sum of one pound and seven 
 shillings for keeping school January 13, 1774, which is more than 14 years after he made his 
 previous will. Seven years later, July 2, 1781, he makes a deed of the whole of his land which 
 he owned in said Willington, Conn., to his son Nathan Carpenter, for the sum of ^300.

 There is no doubt, if Thompson is correct, that it was this Nehemiah who moved to Dutch- 
 ess County, N. Y., but returned to Jamaica, L. I., and settled his father's estate. He was in West 
 Chester County, in 1783. He served in a military company in 1776. He, in his will, mentions 
 son Nehemiah, daughters Elizabeth, Rebecca and Abigail, and Richard, son of my daughter

 Susanna McKinney was the youngest of four daughters born to Edward and Mary DeKay Mc 
 Kinney, Jan. i, 1777, who were living near Omagh in the north of Ireland, (l)eing of Scotch 
 descent.) They were Presbyterians. At the age of 15 years she came in company of 14 families 
 to the city of New Yorli, in May, 1792, in the " Ann and Susan." After marriage they lived on 
 their home farm in the town of Wawaganda two and one-half miles from Middletown, N. Y,, 
 where two of their grandchildren now reside. Susanna d. Dec. 30, 1S60. She was a woman of 
 strong and noble character greatly beloved by all who knew her. 
 
 He was a soldier in the Revolution ; was in Capt. Casey's company ; he was assessed in Chester, 
 in 1775 ; his son Daniel was the executor of his will. At his decease he was the owner of 3500 
 acres of land in Orange County, and in New Jersey; a part of it is still in the family. In letters 
 found among his papers is mentioned a Jonathan Carpenter; they also mention the fact of 
 going West and visiting a brother Moses in Onondaga County.

 John, and m. 2d, the Rev. Hezekiah N. Woodruff. 
 
 It is probably this John of Haverstraw, X. Y., who represented Orange County in the Colonial 
 Assembly in 177S, and he was also Judge at one time in Orange County. He is called '-John 
 the Distiller." He moved into Washington Town, north of Albany, N. Y., and went into the 
 distillery business (which was considered honorable business in those days), and accumulated 
 ■much property. He was a man of note, held many important offices and at one time was a 
 member of the Assembly of New York. He d. February, 1800, at Jamestown, N. Y. He was 
 .a merchant and a prominent business man. We find in the Journal of the Provincial Congress, 
 \''ol. I, page 309, that " Feb. 19, 1776, Mr. Covenhoven informed Congress that a person on the 
 •* Asia ' is indebted to John Carpenter; that said John Carpenter requests permission to go on 
 board the 'Asia' to obtain a bill of sale of a slave or some security for said debt. ?ilr. Coven- 
 hoven moved that a permit be given to John Carpenter. Jr., to go on the ' Asia' to obtain secur- 
 ity. Ordered that John Carpenter or John Carpenter, Jr., be permitted to go." 
 
 ((On page 223.) " April 27, 1776. Recommends Henry Van Renssalaer, and John Carpenter as 
 proper persons to erect and carry on the manufacturing of gunpowder and recommends a place 
 at or near the saw-mill of John Carpenter as a proper place for building the same. The said 
 John Carpenter in person and the said H. Van Rensselaer applied to Congress for the sum of 
 ^1,000 each in behalf of themselves and partners etc." 
 
 The powder-mill was in Salisbury in the precinct of Cromwall, a part of the original precinct of 
 Goshen. Previous to this, Goshen was divided and the part set off was called Cromwall. The 
 Carpenters of Salisbury and Cromwall who signed the pledge to defend the States against the 
 British, were citizens of Goshen, proving that they were loyal to American rights. The names 
 of the Carpenters who signed the pledge were John, John, Jr., Elijah, Benjamin, Timothy, Noah 
 and William. A letter dated Cumberland County, Westminster, N. Y., Feb. i, 1776, to Provin- 
 cial Congress, from Benjamin Carpenter, Chairman of County Committee, announces nomination 
 of field officers, among whom was Benjamin Carpenter, Esq., SeCond Colonel. (Prob. No. 309.)

 1776, as Quartermaster of his regiment. He was in the assault of Fort Montgomery in 1777 ; 
 was taken prisoner and exchanged Oct. 25, 17S0, and was appointed Ensign ; he was honorably 
 discharged Nov. 3, 1783. He was a member of the " Society of the Cincinnati ;'' his signature 
 was on the roll. In a letter from John Schuyler, Secretary of the New York State Society of 
 the Cincinnati, he says : 
 
 " While he was a prisoner, being a good writer, he made money in writing for the British officers. 
 On one occasion he was called upon to get a drink of water for one of the officers ; the officer 
 asked him if the water was poisoned, and being very thirsty himself he asked for the cup, and 
 he drank a very heavy drink himself." 
 
 It is claimed that the foregoing record belongs to Nehemiah b. June 29, 1757, the son of Nehemiah 
 of Jamaica. The compiler thinks this is a mistake and that it belongs to Nehemiah. son of 
 Solomon of Goshen, b. about 1750. It is evident that the latter served in the war and the 
 State Records refer to him when they speak of " Carpenter, Nehemiah, Ensign ; appointed 
 June 29, 1781, to date from June 5, 1779 when mustered as Ensign ; late Quartermaster of the 5th 
 N. Y.; returned from captivity." From official records, Nehemiah Carpenter Ensign in 2d N. 
 Y. regiment ; Philip Cortland, Colonel ; Robert Cockran, Lieutenant-Colonel and Nicholas Fish, 
 Major, 1777 to 17S0. 
 
 The " Revolution Pledge Association " of the Goshen Precinct which contained Goshen, Chester, 
 Warwick, and a part of Blooming Grove, was signed by the following named Carpenters: James, 
 Moses, Benjamin, Daniel, Samuel, Solomon, Michael and William, in 1775. In Cromwall pre- 
 cinct were the signatures of John, Benjamin, Timothy, Joseph, Jr., John, Elijah, William and 
 John — three Johns. There can be added those that signed in Salisbury.

 residing there. 
 
 He was in the Revolutionary war with Nehemiah, his brother, at the time that Fort Montgomery 
 was taken. Benjamin just barely made his escape by throwing his gun into the boat which was 
 several feet from the shore, and plunging into the river, caught hold of the edge of the boat, 
 and thus made his escape. He was very athletic and active.

 His name is frequently mentioned on the records. He was an Elder in tlie church. March 27, 
 1776, a company of militia was formed at Jamaica of 40 persons ; Ephraim Baylis, captain, and 
 Increase Carpenter ist Lieutenant. Aug. 24, 1776, in a list of staff officers in Queens County, 
 we find Increase Carpenter as Quartermaster, and Neheraiah Carpenter a private in the sam 
 company. 
 
 " Captain Carpenter, at the battle of Long Island, did splendid service in resisting the advance of 
 the British army, near what is now Third Avenue and Twenty-Third St." (The compiler thinks 
 this probably refers to Captain Nathaniel Carpenter of Kehoboth who was stationed at New 
 York about that time.) 
 
 Increase Carpenter kept an inn a mile east of Jamaica. A meeting was held at his house in 1774, 
 to protest against the ta.x of tea, etc. He was ist Lieutenant in defence of our liberties, March 
 27, 1776. After the battle of Long Island he and Nehemiah Carpenter fled to the mainland and 
 up the Hudson, and their property was confiscated. He was at one time a Commissary of the 
 Army. Increase had certificate notes of about jf2,ooo, which became mutilated and worn and he 
 applied for new ones. Application was referred to the Treasury department.

 A farmer. 
 
 He settled at " The Nine Partners," Dutchess County, N. Y., and also resided at Pittstown, N. Y., 
 eight miles from the North River ; he lived there before the making of wagon roads in that 
 place, at a time of great scarcity of provisions. The sturgeon caught in the river was at that 
 time called " Albany Beef," and was drawn from the river by a horse and chain for a distance of 
 10 or more miles into the country.

 most humbly beg forgiveness ; 1 do'further declare that I will, of my own accord, cause this 
 acknowledgment to be inserted for two weeks successively in the public newspapers of the city

 RICHARD OF GOSHEN, N. Y. AND RICHARD THE SPY. 
 
 When a General takes the command of an army, the first measures taken are to learn the strength 
 and plans of the enemy. This is accomplished generally through the agency of spies. Accord- 
 ing to the rules of war, spies are not treated as prisoners of war, but are tried and if convicted 
 are immediately executed. 
 
 There are only a very few persons who are willing to run the risk of being taken prisoner and 
 executed. The importance of such a mission cannot be estimated. Not more than one in five 
 hundred who is well calculated for that position. No person would be selected unless he was 
 well known and trustworthy. He must be a person of courage, capable of assuming and repre- 
 senting different characters, cunning, shrewd and discreet. 
 
 The compiler l^elieves that when General Washington took the command of the Continental 
 forces, all the above qualities were found in the person of Richard Carpenter, No. 349, of 
 Goshen, N. Y. and that it was by the solicitation of General Washington in person that Richard 
 consented to comply with his request, considering freedom worth more to the colonist than

 life. Without the usual parting words with his friends he starts off with Washington for 
 Boston. It would not be prudent for his friends to know his mission. 
 
 We can find no record or even a tradition to show that Richard of Goshen and Richard the spy 
 are one and the same person. 
 
 There is a tradition that Richard the spy was taken by the Britisli and accused of being a spy and 
 imprisoned on an English war vessel in Boston harbor, he claiming to be an Irishman, an emi- 
 grant from Ireland, and was not connected with the Revolution, imitating the Irish brogue so 
 accurately that they were unable to convict him but kept him a prisoner, he was taken sick and 
 died a prisoner, claiming to the last that he was an Irishman. 
 
 Another tradition that he was taken prisoner and convicted of being a spy and was executed about 
 1781 or 1782, and his wife with the younger child in her arms was permitted to visit him the night 
 before he was executed, both traditions agree that he claimed to be an Irishman, and is called 
 Richard the spy. 
 
 His descendants who mostly reside in Boston know no more of his connection with the Carpenter 
 family than is contained in the above traditions. 
 
 From all we have been able to gather from tradition and records of the family we think it will 
 convince the reader beyond a reasonable doubt that Richard of Goshen is Richard the spy. 
 
 Richard of Goshen was b. about 174S son of Samuel Carpenter, also Richard's eldest brother was 
 named Samuel, a family of nine children. The father died in 1752 before Samuel, his eldest, was 
 21 years of age. Richard was the sixth son. The seventh child was a daughter named Abigail. 
 She probably was a twin to Richard as given in the record of the family. 
 
 Richard married and settled on a 100 acre lot in district No. 10, about two miles from the village 
 of Goshen; a daughter Phebe was born in 1774. His father's estate was in the same district or 
 vicinity. 
 
 Three of his brothers, viz., Samuel, John and Benjamin, resided in the same district and a widow 
 Mary Carpenter. 
 
 It appears that nearly all of the brothers of Richard served in some capacity in the Revolution. 
 
 After the death of Richard's wife in 1774, no trace can be found of Richard in or about Goshen ; 
 on tax list, sale of the 100 acre lot or the settlement of his estate. 
 
 It is evident that the 100 acre lot went out of the possession of the family as Phebe the only heir 
 when married moved to Michigan where she died. 
 
 The family of descendants of Richard the spy have a record intermixed with tradition in which 
 we have full confidence of its correctness, viz.: Richard the spy married Hannah or Elizabeth 
 Brackett of Boston a most estimable woman, an acquaintance of General Washington who on 
 all occasions when called to Boston visited them, also gave her many valuable presents, and 
 after the death of her husband, he found her a situation in Governor Hancock's family as house- 
 keeper, and furnished all necessary wants till her children were large enough to support her. 
 
 Richard the spy had by his wife Hannah or Elizabeth Brackett, (her correct name is probably 
 Hannah), i, Samuel, probably named after Richard's father or brother Samuel ; 2, William, 
 named after Richard's brother William ; 3, Richard ; 4, Abigail, she was no doubt a twin to 
 Richard and named after the twins in his father's family ; 5, Sophronia, probably named after 
 his first wife. 
 
 Hon. George O. Carpenter lately deceased, great-grandson of Richard the spy, states that his 
 great-grandfather m. Elizabeth Brackett at King's Chapel, had sons Samuel, William, Richard, 
 Abigail and Sophronia : Samuel and Abigail were baptized Jan. t2, 1780 or 1800, no doubt but 
 they were the children of Richard the spy. 
 
 Extracts from a letter from Mrs. Esther M. Woodward of Boston a sister of George O. Carpen- 
 ter to Rev. C. C. Carpenter of Andover, Mass. " If I remember right, my great-aunt Catherine 
 Carpenter used to tell us of her brother Richard who married a lady in Philadelphia, he must 
 have been a son of Richard the spy." She further states in a second note, " 1 did not mention 
 the other children as I was not sure about them. Samuel son of Richard had a brother Wil- 
 liam." In a letter to the compiler, she states, " I do not know of any tradition in regard to his 
 (Richard) not being an Irishman, //?a?7i^ j?/^/2 (z tradition hvA not from my ancestors. I have 
 no record as to when he was married to Hannah Brackett nor of his being taken sick, etc. The 
 information I wrote to Rev. C. C. Carpenter is traditional but unquestioned. I am sure of his 
 having three children viz.: Samuel, Richard and Catherine and not as sure of William and 
 Abigail."

90 CARPENTER MEMORIAL. 
 
 We think it will be almost universally admitted that they are all very uncommon names to appear; 
 in an Irish family, an emigrant from Ireland. Nor can another instance be shown in an Ameri- 
 can family where the names of the children appear in such regular order of their father's 
 brothers and sisters unless they are of the same family. We think it is our duty to record Rich- 
 ard the spy, in the Carpenter genealogy, as the Richard of Goshen, N. V. The compiler regrets 
 very much that he cannot show a more extended account of his imprisonment and death. 
 
 (An extract from a letter from Daniel H. Carpenter, of Maplewood, N. J. in 1895.) " I have been 
 thinking, cogitating and looking over the record I have of the Goshen Tribe, and am now fully 
 persuaded that the 'spy ' Richard Carpenter, of Revolutionary fame, is no other than the son 
 of Samuel of Orange County. Everything points that way. I doubt if an Irishman could by 
 any means be persuaded to name a daughter ^i5/fHz7. Washington in every time of pressing 
 danger gave the well-known order 'Put no one but Americans on guard to-night ' and do you 
 think that he would send out any foreigner on so hazardous an errand as Carpenter is supposed 
 to have undertaken. A'o. no, I say emphatically. Of course it is greatly to be regretted that 
 we have no direct proof concerning Carpenter's nativity or of his services to the American Col- 
 ony, but I reckon that if Carpenter had given the slightest sign of a connection with the Orange 
 County family, he would have at once been executed. 
 
 (Signed) Daniel H. Carpenter.'' 
 
 The compiler will approbate every word written by Daniel H. Carpenter, and in fact has no doubt 
 in his own mind, of the identity of this Richard Carpenter with "Carpenter the spy." 
 
 He served as a spy under Washington's special directions and request and he died as a spy; 
 therefore it appears to be a necessity to cover his identity as an American. 
 
 Washington showed great interest and affection for the family by making them many valuable 
 presents when he visited Boston, which would indicate that Richard Carpenter was something 
 more to him than a ''foreigner." 
 
 350. VII. Abigail was probably a twin to Richard. 
 
 351. VIII. Martha. 
 
 352. IX. A child not named. He was probably called Benjamin, as a Benjamin was in 
 
 district No. 10, near Goshen, N. Y., in 1775 where his father Samuel resided. 
 
 Also we find two of the other children residing here near each other viz.: 
 
 John and Richard and a widow Mary Carpenter. 
 
 The will of Samuel Carpenter, No. 92, of Goshen, Orange County, N. Y., dated June 21, 1752, 
 mentions wife Patience, and the following children viz.; Samuel, William, Abraham, John, 
 Joshua, Richard, Abigail and Martha, and one not born, etc. He says: 'When my eldest son 
 arrives at age, etc."

 Jillson has it that William was b. March 13, 1723 or 1724. Probably 1725 is right. The following 
 is a request of the said William Carpenter made April 2. 1730: 
 
 •' William Carpenter came before the Council and prayed that they would appoint and empower a 
 committee to divide to one of his sisters, namely I^riscilla now widow of Christopher Dexter of 
 Providence, R. I., her share in her father's estate, namely Ebenezer Carpenter of Attleboro, 
 (deceased) said William being his eldest and only son of the said Ebenezer; and also said Wil- 
 liam having purchased of his two other sisters, namely, Elizabeth now wife of Timothy Walker, 
 and Keziah, now wife of Samuel Carpenter, their two shares so that there remains only said 
 Priscilla's share to be set off. Whereupon the Council do vote that the prayer of the said Wil- 
 liam Carpenter be granted, the Council appointed Samuel liartlett Esq., Capt. Ichabod Peck, 
 John Nicholson, Jonathan Ormsby and George Sherman to divide to said Priscilla the fifth part 
 of the real estate of her said father.'' William of Attleboro, Mass., private, served in the Revo-

 church at Tolland were changed Aug. 3, 17S3, to Columbia, Conn., then a part of Lebanon. He

 Oswego, N. Y., m 1757 and was released with others. He served in the Revolu- 
 tion as we find his name on the roll in the company commanded by Lieutenant Morris 
 of the nth regiment: he lived in the North Parish of Lebanon, now the town of 
 Columbia, in iSoo. He marched for the relief of Boston in 1775, for five days. He, by

 The following is an extract from a letter, dated May 4, 1848, from Caleb Carpenter, No. 2539, a 
 grandson of the above named Caleb, of Almont, Mich,: he was a physician and surgeon : 
 
 " Dear Sir. — I have been some time in answering your letter of March 18, requesting the gene- 
 alogy of our family. The reason of the delay has been the time employed by me in hunting up 
 the family. I have collected the branches of the family together as well as my observation 
 admits and herewith transmit them to you. My grandfather's name was Caleb ; he married 
 Hannah French. He lived and died in Rehoboth, Mass. A chairmaker. 
 
 (Signed) Caleb Carpenter." 
 
 434. IV. Patience was b. Feb. 6, 1732 and d. Nov. 16, 1752, aged 20 years. 
 
 43^. V. Daniel was b. about 1727 ; m. EUzahetli. ( 184) 
 
 There is some doubt in the compiler's mind in regard to the foregoing Daniel belonging 
 to this family. He has no authority at hand to verify the record, though the statement is proba- 
 bly correct.

 His daughter Submit was thus named undoubtedly from the great affliction which they had just 
 experienced. The four children died within a few days of each other of the "black throat dis- 
 temper," that fearful scourge that carried death and consternation to so many families in Con- 
 necticut about this time.

 POWNALL. 
 By His Excellency's Command, 
 
 A. Oli\er, Si-ir. 
 A letter from Miss Elizabeth Perry of Savoy, Mass., a daughter of Isaac Perry who married 
 Nancy Carpenter, No. 2737, daughter of Benjamin Carpenter, No. 1305, and grand-daughter of 
 Elisha Carpenter, Xo. 503, she has rendered much assistance to the compiler in this genealogy, 
 and is deserving the gratitude of the family : — 
 
 " I know that the father [it should have been grandfather] of Elisha was in the old French and 
 Indian war ; I have heard my mother speak of it, and knew that he went to Quebec. 
 
 Grandfather Elisha was in the Revolutionary war, which accounts for the family coming to Savoy. 
 He had a tract of land given him for his services in the war ; it was what was originally the 
 farm of William and Esther Ingraham; and also the farm of Cynthia Braley and Benjamin 
 Carpenter, my father. It was divided between the three. Benjamin Carpenter, son of Elisha 
 was 14 years of age when he went to Savoy, Mass., with William Ingraham and he lived with 
 him until he was 21 years of age. Elisha built the first saw-mill in Savoy.'' 
 
 In another letter she says; — 
 
 ■■ A part of Savoy is a part of a tract of land granted by the General Court to Col. William Bul- 
 lock of Rehoboth as agent for the heirs of Capt. Samuel Gallup and his company of men, in 
 consideration of services rendered by them during the French and Indian war. This grant was 
 made April 25, 1771. 
 
 This war was sometimes called The Old French War. It was the war that England had with 
 the French to subdue and take Canada when we were colonists subject to England. 
 
 Deacon William Ingraham moved from Rehoboth to Adams, Mass., in 1783, and I think they 
 moved the next year to Savoy, Mass. They came by marked trees from Adams to Savoy." 
 
 (Signed) Eliz.abeth Perry. 
 
 Elisha was appointed Ensign in that Company where Phillip Walker, Esq. was Captain in a Regi- 
 ment of Foot commanded by Col. Thomas Doty for a general invasion of Canada in 1758. 
 
 It is likely that he (Elisha) \vent to Savoy to accept a tract of land that came to his grandfather, 
 Daniel Carpenter, for his services in the French and Indian War or it might have been for his 
 services in the Re\'olutionary war. He was one of the early settlers of Savoy where he and his 
 wife died ; their graves are not marked by any monument to show their resting-place. It is sup- 
 posed that he (Elisha) was a party to the Norwich, \^ermont land grant, and if so he was likely 
 one of the grantees who did not settle there, as many of the grantees did not become actual 
 settlers. It is presumed that he was worth considerable money in real estate. [The Crovernor 
 of New Hampshire gave this Norwich grant.]

 of Jacob Shorey. They d. in Relioboth, now East Providence or Seel<:onk. 
 
 .Airs. Fannie Canfield a granddaughter of Asahel, writes in a letter in 18S0 in which she states 
 that Asahel was a wealthy farmer, and moved in the highest circle of society, was honest, indus- 
 trious, and a good citizen and much respected by all. He held the office of county surveyor, etc. 
 
 Asahel was the owner of large tracts of real estate, he gave his son Miles goo acres of land in 
 Ohio lying on the Muskingum river, also town lots in Morcellar. He belonged to the Congre- 
 gational church. He received a good education and was much respected. He enlisted as a 
 private in Lieutenant Samuel Brown's Company, in Col. Thomas Carpenter's Regiment; Aug. i, 
 17S0, served six days, marched from Rehoboth to Tiverton.

 He held many important offices; he was clerk of the Third Military Company of Rehoboth, in

 Colonel in 1778. He was elected Deputy to the General Court at Plymouth, 1781 and 1783 and 
 it appears he had an order dated July 5, 1776, for wages from the town of Attleboro for service 
 on the Alarm after the battle of Bunker Hill; he served as Corporal in Capt. Foster's Company, Col. 
 Daggett's Regiment in the Rhode Island Alarm; enlisted Dec. 8, 1777 and served 25 days; 
 he enlisted again as Corporal in Capt. Wilmarth's Company in Col. Dean's Regiment in the

 He did not attend school until he was 16 years of age. He was then a tall boy, and had to go into 
 a class of small children, which was very humiliating to him. He made good progress, and 
 soon mastered the common branches and became a teacher; his success as teacher was remark- 
 able — one of the best. Many of the liberally educated men of the town owe their success to 
 him. It was a credit to a student to state that he had obtained his early education under the 
 tutorship of Elihu Carpenter. He also taught singing school, and as the old lady, Mrs. Perry, 
 said in the gad year of her age, " that he taught singing school for nothing and found candles." 
 He used to sing when about the house and his work. Some one asked his mother one day what 
 made him sing so much, when she replied : " To plague the devil." He sang pious hymns.

 Jonah was a minute man in the Revolutionary war, and went to Dorchester when the British

 In a letter received from Alfred Cheney Carpenter, the grandson of Jonah Carpenter, in relation 
 to his grandfather serving in the Revolutionary war, he states : " As to my grandfather's serving 
 in the war, the most I can say is that he went " and then he goes on to explain how he knows, 
 " Grandfather was building a new house which was not finished and a ladder had to be used 
 to reach the chambers. Grandfather that year raised quite a large field of corn and had to 
 leave it in the field and for the want of help grandmother had to do the work on the farm and 
 in the house. She harvested the corn and carried it up the ladder on her back which caused her 
 to bend over so much that she became very round shouldered, as much so as any person I ever 
 saw. She always stated that it was caused by carrying up the corn on the ladder when grand- 
 father was gone to the war." 
 
 Alfred Cheney was the son of Dea. Dyer Carpenter who lived on the old homestead and cared for 
 his father and mother.

 ELISHA CARPENTER'' 161, of Noah 38,

 Gen. 7. Children 11, b. in Attleboro. 
 
 556. I. Elisha was b. Aug. 17, 1745 ; m. Anna Freeman, Feb. — , 1768, she was (215) 
 
 b. 1742 and d. Aug. 21, 1807, in her 65th year. He d. Aug. 20,1825, 
 in Providence, N. Y. 
 
 He was Elder of the Second Baptist church in Attleboro until 1789 when he removed to Providence, 
 N. Y. where he died. It appears that it was this Elisha Carpenter, Jr., who was a private in 
 Capt. l-'eter Porter's Co., Col. John Brown's Regiment. Enlisted July 10, 1777 and served 10 
 days in the Berkshire County Regiment. 
 
 The following is a letter from the Rev. Elisha Carpenter to his friends in Attleboro giving an 
 account of his journey to Providence, N. Y., which can now be accomplished in one day, but 
 which took him fourteen days : 
 
 l'R<)\'ii)i-;-\'CE, N. Y., March 25, 1S02. 
 
 "A'lY?;- and Dear Friend: — 
 
 I set out from Attleboro, Alass., March 9, on Tuesday, and arrived here on Tuesday 
 the 33d after a passage of fourteen days in which I met with \arious turns from Attleboro to 
 the Connecticut River, but was pretty comfortable. I came over the river four or five rods in a 
 boat; the ferryman led my horse over the ice, such as it was. I took a pole under my arm 
 and it came to pass we escaped to shore in .Northampton. The snow was about eighteen inches 
 deep; at Cummington, about three feet deep; at Windsor, about four feet deep; at Adams, 
 none at all, nor any afterwards until T arrived in I^rovidence, but mud a great part of the way 
 knee-deep. My mare was about entirely played out — indeed she stopped at one hill two or three 
 times ; I thought I should have lost her, but we arrived safe and sound, all well through divine 
 goodness though I never was so beat out in my life. 
 
 I hope the family will have a better passage than I had. I have not got any place to live in as 
 yet but am not discouraged, for people appear to be friendly and provisions are plentiful and

 cheap. Corn and rye, a bushel of each maybe had for a dollar, butter at ten cents per pound; 
 meat, cheap. 
 
 William's family are all well. I hope these line will find you all well as they leave me. I now feel 
 concerned for the family, until I see them again — the Lord send them a good voyage. 
 
 My love to brother Sabin, sister Sabin, and let brother Liscom and family have my kindest love 
 and see this letter. My love to Mr. Tiffany and family, to Mr. D. Read and his family, to Lieut. 
 Tyler and family, to brother Pike and family, to brother Round and family, to brother Xehemiah 
 Claflen and family, to brother Benjamin Barrows and family, to brother David Ridge and family, 
 sister Ridge and family, and to all inquiring friends. 
 
 Realizing the uncertainty of all things in this uncertain world, make God your present friend, for 
 our forfeited lives are ever exposed to the arre.st of death, and there is no work nor device in the 
 grave to which we are now going. Although absent in body, I think of you and my Attleboro 
 friends as though present with you. I\Iay your health and happiness be continued for usefulness 
 in the present world. The Lord send you some one to preach the Gospel amongst you that 
 yoursoulsmay befedtothepraise andglory of God. Finally, whatsoever things are pure or holy 
 or of good report, think of these things, and may we often meet at the throne of Grace until 
 (irace be swallowed up in Glory through our Lord, Jesus Christ, the Lord of Glory, Amen ! 
 
 From your loving brother in tribulation, 
 
 Elisha Carpexter." 
 
 [One branch of his grandchildren write their names " Carpentier,'' claimingtobeof French origin.] 
 
 He was a Baptist clergyman. He preached iS years in the South Baptist church at Attleboro, 
 from 1777 until about the time he removed to Providence township, Saratoga Co., whither his 
 son William had gone four years previously. He subsequently preached for some time in the 
 Baptist church at Galway, N. Y. 
 
 Elisha Carpenter, Jr., private, enlisted in Captain Hill's Company, Col. Carpenter's Regiment, in 
 the Rhode Island Alarm, Dec. 16, 1776 and served eight days. Elisha Carpenter, private in 
 Captain Ide's Company, Col. Carpenter's Regiment in Rhode Island Alarm; enlisted Aug. i,

 A farmer and comb maker. 
 
 [This family claimed no connection with Nathan, No. 1641, or John, No. 647. They proved to be 
 third cousins.] 
 
 It is this Daniel who was in Stafford, Conn, about 1770 or 1775, and subsequently in Monson, 
 Mass., and thence to Readsboro, Vt. It is probably this Daniel of Leicester, who enlisted in 
 the Lexington scare, private, in Captain Thomas Newhall's Regiment; served six days. Dan-

 who was born July 18, 1651, who graduated at Harvard in 1671, and was ordained at Milton in 
 1681, and died Dec. 27, 1727. And he was tlie great-grandson of the Rev. Thomas Thacher, 
 who was born in England, May i, 1620, and who was educated principally by the Rev. C. 
 Chauncy, and was fitted for the ministry in Scituate ; and preached in the Old South Church in 
 Boston ; he died in 1658. 
 
 Note, in regard to the family: — 
 
 Peter Thacher, the earliest progenitor in this line was a clergyman of Sarum, England, and had 
 six sons and three daughters, namely; Peter, Tliomas a clergyman, Ann, Martha, Elizabeth; 
 John died in England about 1673, Samuel and Paul were living at Salisbury, England, in 1676, 
 and Barnabas. 
 
 Thomas was born in Kngland .May i. 1620. He arrived at Boston, June 4. 1635 in company with 
 his uncle Anthony Thacher, and was brought up and educated by Rev. Charles Chauncy, then a 
 minister of Scituate, and afterwards president of Harvard College. By the assistance of Dr. 
 Chauncy with his own intense application, Mr. Thacher became distinguished, not only in the 
 common academical studies, but also in Hebrew, Syriac and Arabic, in the first of which lan- 
 guages he composed a lexicon. We are told that he was well skilled in the arts, especially in 
 logic; and understood mechanics both in theory and practice. As was not uncommon at that 
 time, he studied two professions, medicine and theology, in both of which he obtained a high 
 reputation. He first settled in the ministry at Weymouth, in 1644, where he continued with 
 great acceptance for more than twenty years. He then, in 1664 removed to Boston, where he 
 preached occasionally, but was chiefly employed as a physician, until he was chosen pastor of 
 the Third Church in 1669, and was installed Feb. 16, same year. As a Christian and a mini.ster,

 he was greatly and deservedly esteemed. He was among the most popular preachers in the 
 colony. His abundant labor in the ministry was crowned with signal success as was evinced by 
 the great growth of the church in Weymouth while under his oversic;-ht, and by the increase, 
 while pastor of the Third Church, of 217 admitted to its communion. He preached his last 
 sermon for Mr. Increase Mather from 1 Peter 4 : iS, " Grow in grace and in the knowledge of 
 our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ." 
 
 Immediately after visiting a sick person, he was himself seized with a fever, and expired Oct. 15, 
 1678, aged 58 years. He married ist, Elizabeth I^artridge, May 11. 1643 ; she was the daughter 
 of the l^ev. I^alph Partridge. She died June 2, 1664. He married 2d, at Koston. Margaret, 
 daughter of Henry Webb, and widow of Jacob Sheaffe. 
 
 The following is a letter from Kingston, England, to Rev. Peter Thacher, grandfather of the Rev. 
 Peter Thacher who was born Jan. 14, 1715, wife, J3ethiah. The letter explains itself:— 
 
 " Kingston, Jan. 23, 1707 or 1708.

 My Dear Son: — I thankfully received yours of Oct. 24, and was glad to hear you were well 
 enough to be stirring, though sorry to hear your duty is so urgent as scarcely to allow time for 
 nature's refreshment by sleep. 
 
 Be as careful as you can of your own health and life, for my sake as well as your own, but in a 
 consistency with that, be wary, vigilant and faithful in the discharge of your duty. You may 
 not on any account relax a prudent care and watchfulness or settle into security at any time, 
 especially when on a scouting party. Make God your refuge in times of fear and danger. I 
 believe the enemy, skillful in ye art of war, are with all their skill endeavoring to get ye advan- 
 tage and so to bring on a general action, and I pray God to make their hopes abortive and their 
 endeavors vain therein, by the vigilance, resolution and faithfulness of genei'als, officers and 
 soldiers. 
 
 lam glad to hear Mr. Cobb is better, and upon the mending hand. He hath been earnestly 
 remembered at the Throne of Grace ; indeed we think of you all when we go to the Throne of 
 Grace for ourselves, and that is the best we can do for you. Your brother Samuel is confined 
 by a fever sore and how it will please to dispose of life or limb we cannot tell, though since it 
 was opened, his fever and pain and the tumor too, have at present abated. Your grandmother 
 is a little about. Your mother and brothers and sisters, in usual health, send Io\-e to you. Give 
 my love to all friends and particularly a our brother John. I commit you to the Divine Protection. 
 
 1 am your loving father, 
 
 Peter Thacher." 
 
 ".Uy Dear Son:— \ hope these lines will find you well. I long to see you, but God only knows 
 whether we ever shall have another opportunity. I am greatly concerned for you. May the 
 ■ Lord be your protection, and keep you from all evil and return you home again in safety. I 
 understand that this is the last post that is going up. I hope you will not miss this opportunity 
 to let us know how you do. 1 subscribe nivself 
 
 Your loving mother, 
 
 Bethia Thacher."

 molested in her rights by Noah Dean and Hezekiah Briggs for which they were put under 
 bonds of ^100 not to molest her in her rights of using one-half of the water on the easterly end 
 of the Dam, now erected for running a cutting mill."

 Aug. 2, we passed through Hell Gate at high water, and landed at New York, stationed in Water 
 Street near the Fly Market in Capt. Nathaniel Carpenter's company, in Col. Simeon Cary's reg- 
 iment, Gen. John Fellows' brigade. 
 
 Aug, 7, our brigade moved into barracks at Chelsea about four miles from the city upon the east 
 side of the river. 
 
 Aug. 17. An alarm ! The King's ships went down the river and joined the fleet in the harbor. 
 
 Aug. 23. The King's troops embarked from Staten Island where they had been encamped since 
 the beginning of July last to the number of thirty thousand and upwards; and fell down the 
 narrows ; landed near Grave Yard on Long Island, and encamped about five miles from the city 
 of New York. 
 
 Aug. 27, 1776, continental troops stationed on the west end of Long Island, opposite the city of 
 New York ; after several skirmishes and smart attacks (in which many were slain on both sides) 
 being vastly o\'erpowered in numbers we thought it best to evacuate the Island, which, by good 
 fortune was safely executed on the 29th inst. with their baggage and stores, etc. 
 
 General Fellow's brigade marched into the city as a picket. 
 
 Aug. 31, 1776. General Fellow's brigade marched to Harns Hook as a guard, etc.

 sent them up the river to Harlem. 
 
 Sept. 15. Three ships went up the East river, and the enemy landed about two miles from the 
 city at about eleven o'clock under a most tremendous firing from eight or ten ships of war, and 
 marched down to take possession of the city in which time the continental troops retreated to 
 Harlem where we made a stand and went to entrenching, etc. 
 
 Sept. 16, 1776. A battle at the lines of Harlem ; the enemy were repulsed and driven back.

 was burned down. 
 
 Oct. 9, 1776. Alarm ! Three ships went up the North river ; we lay at our alarm posts all day, etc. 
 
 Oct. 17. We marched off the Island of New York, over King's bridge, bag and baggage, and 
 pitched our tents at a place called " Phillips' Patent" (or the " Miles Square ") having this five 
 weeks past lain on the ground with nothing but brush to cover us. 
 
 Oct. 21. We moved our encampment to White Plains, thirty miles from New York. About this 
 time General Howe's troops landed in large bodies' at Frog's Point, hoping to make some bold 
 push or strike — some fatal stroke or other, ha, ha ! 
 
 Oct. 23. There was a warm engagement between a party of our men and the enemy, when they 
 beat a hasty retreat, and thirteen Hessians were left dead on the field. 
 
 Oct. 27. The enemy attacked our lines at Harlem and were repulsed three different times success- 
 ively, and went off in great confusion ; likewise they were cannonaded by two ships on the Hud- 
 son river, but were beat off much hurt.

 Nov. 8. Our brigade moved to Coartley's (Manor) etc. 
 
 Nov. 16. General Howe vigorously attacked our line at Harlem with a much superior force to 
 that of the garrison; our men fought to their honor but being overpowered by numbers they 
 were obliged to retreat to Fort Washington, and soon after were summoned to surrender, and 
 finding themselves unable to defend it, they submitted themselves prisoners of war to the num- 
 ber of about 2,000. 
 
 Nov. 20. The enemy took possession of Fort Lee, it being evacuated by General Green who com- 
 manded at that fort, and joined his forces to Generals Washington's and Putnam's, their united 
 forces being about 6,000; who regularly retreated from Hackinsack to Newark and crossed the 
 Delaware; the enemy following them and camped at Trenton. 
 
 Dec. I, 1776. Our campaign being out. General Fellow's brigade was dismissed and I (Jonathan

 The following is a piece of poetry composed by Jonathan Carpenter also found in his diary :- 
 " Colonel Sim Cary of Bridgewater Town, 
 
 He led our regiment up hill and down ; 
 But ought to come after and brought up the rear, 
 He was called " An Old Granna " both far and near ; 
 
 Stephen Richardson was our Lieutenant Colonel. 
 
 As perhaps you may find by this journal ; 
 He was deprived of his health, and for the same reason 
 
 He did us no service throughout the whole season. 
 
 Our Major was John Paine, and officer Smart 
 
 On him we depended and he played his part. 
 In electing field officers, they a great mistake made. 
 
 And that in transplanting the tail for the head. 
 
 We had in our regiment I think, Captains, ten, 
 
 The first, Captain Allen, and next. Chamberlain; 
 If Captain Richardson be next as I think he should. 
 
 The next is Captain Carpenter, the fifth, Capt. Wood. 
 
 Now is placed Captain Harlow and Cobb on the role, 
 And the other three captains are Briggs, White and Poole."

 Revolutionary vi'ar, was deacon of the Baptist church and sometimes preached the Gospel. 
 
 A. D. 1776, the town of Guilford voted to pay the expenses of Benjamin Carpenter their delegate 
 to the Westminster convention. In 1777 they voted that John Barney and Benjamin Carpenter 
 go to Windsor in June next to hear the report of the agent sent to Congress concerning a new 
 state. He was a member of the first convention in Vermont held at Dorset in 1776. In those 
 trying times, with the brave sons of the Green .Mountain state, when they had not only to oppose 
 the powerful state of New York, the claims of Xew Hampshire and Massachusetts, 
 the Tories and Yorkers at home, and the menacing threats of Congress abroad; but 
 also the power of his Majesty's legions in war — that brave patriot, with an allowance of 
 three day's provisions upon his back, would cross the Green Mountains on foot by marked 
 trees to attend the Legislature at Bennington for the purpose of devising ways and means of 
 defence against the enemies of the state. 
 
 At the first meeting of a few residents, citizens of the state, at Dorset, Vt. in 1776, forming them- 
 selves into a committee to take into consideration the grievances and sufferings caused by the 
 arbitrary ruling power of New York and otherpowers, he, Benjamin Carpenter openly advocated 
 the independence of the state : and ever after by word and deed with all the powers of mind and 
 body, even at a great risk of his life, he advocated the adoption of the Declaration of Independ- 
 ence. From the very first he condemned the government of New York in the Massacre at 
 Westminster, Vt. 
 
 Accordingly. Mr. Carpenter attended the Windsor convention of June 4, 1777, and the inscripdon 
 on his gravestone indicates that he was a member of the Windsor convention which adopted 
 the constitut]on. In 1778 there was a change in the politics of the town of Guilford, the oppo- 
 nents of \'trmont having obtained possession of the records of the town and ruled it until 
 about the year 1791. when the town was duly organized under \'erniont. .Mr. Carpenter disre- 
 garded tlie dominant party and adhered steadily to A'ermont, on occasions not without personal 
 danger. Since, it is recorded that in December. 17.S3. he was taken prisoner by the Yorkers and 
 carried away, to his great damage. Feb. i, 1776, he was chairman of the Cumberland county 
 committee of safety, and l)y that body was nominated Lieutenant Colonel of the militia, which 
 was confirmed by New York, March i, 1776. 
 
 Benjamin Carpenter was one of the first to take into consideration the matter of the claims of 
 New York on the territory of Vermont, claiming over the New Hampshire grant. 
 
 One of the measures adopted was for a better protection from the Tories of said district. 
 
 (Signed) Benj.amix Carpenter, Chairman. 
 
 October of the same year he was a committee with others to form an association to devise meas- 
 ures to carry out the object and intention of the convention. After attending the Westminster 
 convention, he v/as ngain a member of a convention held June 4, 1777, composed of 72 members. 
 
 He was appointed on the council of safety. July 4. 1777, and was appointed to fill a vacancy in the 
 first general council Dec. 24, 1778. He was appointed as one of the court to decide on confis- 
 cated property, and to order sale of same which was to be paid into the treasury of the state, for 
 Cumberland countj'. 
 
 (Dated) Windsor, \'t., March 26, 1778. 
 
 Aug. 22, 1778, he was appointed with others to adjust and settle all pay-rolls of the mihtia for past 
 services, etc. 
 
 He was one of the council in 1779. 
 
 Up to 1779, he was frequently appointed chairman of committees on grievances; and Feb. i, 1776, 
 he was chairman of the committee of safety, when the following officers were agreed upon : 
 WilHam Williams, First Colonel, and Benjamin Carpenter, Second Colonel. 
 
 He, Benjamin Carpenter, honorably filled the office of Lieutenant Governor of the state. He %vas 
 also on a committee on fines and fees in 1780. 
 
 A party of Yorkers attempted to arrest Lieutenant Governor Benjamin Carpenter, and one Major 
 
 Shepardson, but failed. 
 A second attempt was made to arrest him by the New York militia, but it was a repeated failure. 
 
 A company of Tories and New Yorkers was formed for that very purpose.

 Sir : 
 
 Our case at present is so circumstanced that I must pray you to exert yourself night and day in 
 forwarding all the militia from your quarter ; spare none that are able to fire a gun orride a horse. 
 We are determined to make one important push ; and, therefore, stand in need of all the assist- 
 ance possible to be afforded us from the neighboring towns. The action will commence before 
 they can possibly come up. Notwithstanding, for fear of the worst, send them forward. The 
 communication between Bur^oyne and Ticonderoga will be stopped to-morrow ; be faithful in 
 notifying the inhabitants of Humsdale against them — there are many complaints in the camp of 
 their backwardness. Tell them that no person that is a friend to his country will show himself 
 backward at this critical crisis. Tell them to march to Stillwater and join with me in the Cien- 
 eral Stark's brigade. Tliey may bring with them what ammunition they have and they can draw 
 as much more as they ma)' want here. 
 By the request of the council and desire of Gen. Stark.

 P. S. IMarlborough. Hahfa.x, Whitingham and Wilmington are notified. 
 A copy of a letter no doubt written by Col. Benjamin Carpenter. 
 
 Guilford, Ak,. 16, 1777. 
 This may certify that in consideration of Charles Phelps, Esq., having at his own charge and 
 risk journeyed to Boston and procured 150 firearms and ammunition, in preparation for said 
 guns for these neighboring towns and has been at a great expense in money and time, therefore 
 is now on his journey to Boston with money to pay for the same ; that although he is drafted by 
 the Captain to go to the westward in the defence of this country, on the alarm list, yet I hereby 
 release him therefrom to enable him to do far greater service for his distressed country by doing 
 the above-mentioned business at lioston, etc. and his endeavoring to procure more arms and 
 ammunition and salt for those distressed infant towns. x * * * * 
 
 * ''' * day of the battle of r.ermington on the Hampshire Grants for the relief of 
 
 the same people, the other 150 gu]is .ind ammunition were procured by the tender commiseration 
 of the busiest and most patriotic colony of the Massachusetts Bay aforesaid, to whom and for 
 which our hearty and abundant th;mks are ever due when we all lay open to the ravages of the 
 enemy at the shameful givin.:^ up of TicondL'ro^;a, etc., to the regular troops.'' 
 The following will represent the characteristics of the man, and the times: 
 
 " He having assisted in forming' the constitution and laws of Vermont. The legistators compos- 
 ing the assembly, voted to themselves severally, townships of land as compensation for their 
 long self-sacrificing services. Benjamin Carpenter voted against the measure and persisted in 
 never taking any compensation for his public services. The town voted to him was Barre, Vt., 
 and one of the most flourishing towns in the state." 
 On one occasion as he and a party of friends were on a bu.siness tour over the mountains they 
 were overtaken by a storm, which detained them for a day at a small village on the mountain. 
 A proposition was made while there, by one of the party, that he deliver a discourse in their 
 church; he promptly accepted the invitation, and preached them a most excellent sermon to the 
 edification of all his hearers. 
 The following is the inscription found on the gravestone of Benjamin Carpenter:

 abeth Wilson, a widow ; he d. March 22, 1810; moved to Guilford, Vt. 
 
 This was probably the Caleb who was fined with others for abducting Lieutenant lienjamin Carpenter 
 for the purpose to have him taken by an order from the Government of .New York, who had 
 offered a bounty on his body if taken and delivered over to the Government of Xew ^'ork. 
 But the State's Attorney was directed to suspend the collection of the fine, and the fine was 
 remitted by Governor and Council, Oct. 27, 1784. 
 
 His grandson, Wilson Carpenter of Penobscot, I\Ie., writes : 
 
 (Dated) " Oct. 8, 1848. My grandparents, Caleb and Elizabeth Wilson in company with uncles 
 Benjamin and Edward, moved from Providence, R. I., to Guilford, Vt., Windham County, I 
 think in '76 or '77. My grandfather's Christian name was Caleb ; my grandmother's name was 
 Elizabeth; she was from the Wilson family; my father's family consisted of five children; 
 there were three brothers of us and two sisters ; Chloe, Wilson, Edward, Hiram, Hiram married 
 a young woman by the name of .Margaret and settled in Ohio. The youngest sister, Cynthia, 
 and Edward Mark I have no knowledge of. My sister Chloe married Thomas Wescott and 
 settled in Xova Scotia. 1 married Lucy Grant with whom I have lived fifty-and-one years the 
 4th of March, 1848." 
 
 It appears that he enlisted fiom Union, Me., in Capt. Isaac Colton's company. Colonel Brewer's 
 regiment, July 12, 1775 and served 18 days. 
 
 662. VI. Bkloved was b. Dec. 13,1744; m. Mary Williams oi Scituate, April 25, (253)

 Oct. 4, 1791, while taking a drove of cattle to Meereto or some place in Ohio. He was Judge 
 of the court for Harrison county for 15 years. He had on his farm a gun and blacksmith's shop, 
 store and schoolhouse, all of which were his own property. He owned 2,000 acres of land ; had 
 an orchard of 400 bearing apple trees at the time of his death. He carried the produce on 
 mules over the mountains at that early day. His death was very much lamented by the people. 
 Had he not met with an early death he would been one of the great and rich men of this coun- 
 try. He died at the early age of 48 years. Taken from H. P. Hildreth's History of the Ea ly 
 Days. 
 
 The above account of the family was given to the writer by David Carpenter, grandson of Nich- 
 olas, when he was 80 years of age. The tradition by him was that three brothers came from 
 Germany. Their names were Christopher, Emanuel and David. David went South and was 
 never heard from. Emanuel settled in Pennsylvania and his heirs ai-e there yet.

 does not.) 
 
 Joseph, (wife Bethiah) was said to be a very fine man; he owned a very large farm at Huntington 
 Center: he gave the land for the cemetery where he is now buried. His grave is marked by 
 a brown stone. The house he built is still standing at Huntington Center.

 Colonel of a Bristol, Mass. militia, Feb. 10, 1776. He marched to New York under Ceneral 
 Lincoln's command, dated Boston, Nov. 2S, 1776; he appears on a petition asking for a new

 to qualify them to take the field in the spring. He wa.s chosen county committee April 12, 1775. 
 Jan. 2. 1775, the town of Rehoboth chose Maj. Timothy Walker and Capt. Thomas Carpenter 
 delegates to attend the I^rovincial Congress to be held at Cambridge, Mass. on the first day of 
 February of the following year. He was also chosen as delegate from Rehoboth to attend the 
 Provincial Congress held at Watertown, .Mass., May 31, 1775. He with others was ordered l)y 
 the provincial committee in bringing up the Indians, June 23. 1775. 
 
 Minutes of the proceedings of a Provincial Congress of fJeputies of the several towns and districts 
 in the Province of Massachusetts 13ay in New England, convened at Salem on Friday, Oct. 7, 
 1774, with a list of persons to represent them in the same: Thomas Carpenter was sent from 
 Rehoboth, jMass. 
 
 June 28, 1775, he was one of the committee to fix the pay of the officers and soldiers. 
 
 July 5, 1775. he was one of the committee to consider some method to prevent conveyance of intel- 
 ligence to the enemy, and also to stop supplies. 
 
 In September of 1776, a regiment was raised in the town of Rehoboth, and some of the adjoining 
 towns, and marched under the command of Col. Thomas Carpenter of Rehoboth to join the 
 army of Washington at White Plains, N. Y. They arrived there some time before the battle, 
 but were not in the action, being drawn up under arms about four miles distant in momentary 
 expectation of orders to march to the scene of battle. Previous to this battle. Colonel Carpen- 
 ter's regiment had a slight skirmish with a small detachment of the British, and three of his 
 men were wounded; l)ut only a few shots were exchanged on either side. Colonel Carpenter's 
 regiment was out only for three months at this time. 
 
 Aug. 18, 1778, he was ordered with his regiment to march immediately to Rliode Island, and there 
 to do duty during the campaign. 
 
 Col. Thomas Carpenter was in action on Long Island Aug. 29, 1778, and was distinguished for his 
 activity and bravery. Several of the soldiers belonging to Colonel Carpenter's regiment, resi- 
 dents of Rehoboth, were killed. 
 
 He was a large, portly man. The compiler was told by one of his granddaughters that she made 
 a whole suit of clothes for one of her children out of one of his (Col. Thomas Carpenter's) vests. 
 
 776. y. Caleb was b. Sept. 21, 1736; m. Elizabeth Bullock, Kwg. 2^, \']z^'^. He (280) 
 
 d. Aug. 30, 1785, aged 49 years. She d. July 21, 1839, aged 100 
 years and 9 months. A farmer. 
 
 He was called Captain and probably served in the Revolution as a private ; it appears he served 
 as a private in the Lexington scare in Captain Lyons' company. Two Caleb Carpenters of 
 Relioboth enlisted Dec. 8, 1776, in Capt. Nathaniel Carpenter's company in the Rhode Island 
 alarm — one served two days and the other r6. It appears one enlisted in Capt. Nathaniel's 
 company again, in Colonel Carpenter's regiment, July 20, 1777 ; served one month and 5 days; 
 marched from Rehoboth to Bristol; again in Captain Hicks' coinpany, Colonel Carpenter's reg- 
 iment, Rhode Island alarm, Aug, i, 1780; served 6 days; marched to Tiverton. (The compiler 
 is not clear in regard to it being tliis Caleb.) 
 
 The following is in addition to Caleb Carpenter, born in 1736. son of Thomas No. 158. in reference 
 to his estate : 
 
 It appears from the inventory of his estate that he was a very wealthy farmer for the time in which 
 he lived. His personal property and real estate as appears by the inventory on which the date 
 does not appear, which was made proliably at about the time of his death. Aug. 30, 17S5, of

 was in England. He returned immediately to Salem, and was a lieutenant in the private armed

 ship Oliver Cromwell, Capt. Benjamin Cole, Commander, \athaniel West first Lieutenant. 
 After the Revolutionary war was over he engaged in commercial pursuits, and was a pioneer in 
 the East India trade. He took charge of a schooner called the " Benjamin " which sailed from 
 a wharf near the north bridge, in the North River about 178.) or 1785, with no other guide than 
 the maps in Outhrie's Geography, to seek his way beyond the Cape of Good Hope. This vessel 
 was owned by a lady (Mary Hathorne). He also was in the employment of Elias Hasket 
 Derby, and commanded the first ship " America," a large ship carrying 22 guns,, and Franci.s 
 Clarke was joined supercargo. Mr. Clarke was afterwards chief clerk to William Gray. This 
 ship " .-Vmerica " was sold in New York. He commanded the ship " Massachusetts " of Boston, 
 on a voyage to Canton, and thus his seafaring life continued for thirty years or more." 
 
 I'" rem the Boston Patriot, September, 1S23: 
 
 '' The character of the late Capt. Benjamin Carpenter merits more particular notice than the simple 
 record of his death and age. He was born in Newport, R. I. in 175 1, and removed in early Hfe 
 to Massachusetts, whence he followed the seas for the principal part of thirty years, with the 
 character of an intelligent, generous and a very active man. He commanded the first cartel 
 sent to England in our Revolutionary war, with captured British officers, which for a time 
 puzzled the government there, whether to condemn the vessel and send her commander to New- 
 gate as a rebel, or to purchase the ship. They preferred the latter, and thus evaded the nice 
 question of independence. 
 
 The examination of Captain Carpenter by Lord .Sandwich and other Lords of the Admiralty, was 
 curious, spirited and humorous, and ought to be preserved in history. He was the first who 
 carried the thirteen stripes around the Cape of Good Hope after the peace of 1783, and exhibited 
 them on his return at St. Helena. But Captain Carpenter's exertions were not confined to the 
 planks of a ship. He was one among two or three sea captains who founded that beautiful 
 museum which adorns the town of Salem. The idea of depositing curious articles brought from 
 abroad, in one place, instead of scattering them here and there as heretofore, arose in a small 
 club of which he was an influential member. Hence originated that neat collection of curiosi- 
 ties in nature and art in Salem. 
 
 Wherever Captain Carpenter went, he bore about him the pride of country. Undeviating Repub- 
 licanism marked his sagacious and manly character. From its dignified principles, no tempor- 
 ary advantage, family connections, immediate flattering prospect, or specious argument, could 
 ever for a moment swerve him. In every region he felt like an American, judged like a man of 
 sense, and acted like an honest one. 
 
 A deep and aggravated loss, (his only son was left to perish on a wreck at sea) broke down a 
 strong constitution, and Captain Carpenter died at Cambridge the i6th of September, in the 
 72nd year of his honorable life, leaving behind him a pleasant and untainted memory.

 " Abraham Carpenter was in the French war ; he enhsted in the army and was sent through the 
 wilderness to Crown Point Fort, where he remained one summer, acting the most of the time as 
 one of the guards of that fortress; and when his term of service had expired he returned to 
 Rehoboth and commenced studying for the Ministry. After his marriage he went to reside 
 in Killingly, Conn. From here they moved to Plainfield, N. H., in 1774. He was there 
 ordained and installed over the Congregational Church, and was the first minister in that town. 
 From Plainfield he removed to Whipple Hollow, Vt. About the year 1790 the people of Orange 
 Parish employed Rev. Abraham Carpenter of Plainfield, N. H. as their minister. The services 
 on the occasion of his installation were held at the house of Asa Stevens, it being before the 
 meeting house was finished. Mr. Carpenter was a very devoted Christian, and a faithful pastor; 
 under his ministry the church prospered. Few pastors have secured a stronger hold upon the 
 affections of his people. He died after a short illness, and his remains were interred in the 
 parish burying ground." 
 
 In the history of Windham County, Conn., page 95, is the following : " In 1768, Abraham Carpen- 
 ter was ordained into the office of Deacon by the laying on of hands, and dismissed after five 
 years service to become the pastor of the church of Plainfield, N. H." 
 
 A brief account of his labors in Plainfield, N. H. is found on page 471 of The New Hampshire 
 Churches, by Rev. Robert F. Lawrence, published in 1856, as follows: "In 1773 or 1774, Rev. 
 Abraham Carpenter, a 'strict Congregationalist,' was settled according to the rules of the denom- 
 ination in Plainfield, without any action of the town. In March, 1779, the town voted to accept 
 Mr. Carpenter as the minister of the town. He received the right of land, consisting of 360 acres. 
 He continued to preach in town eight or ten years longer, in his own kitchen and in other private 
 houses in the winter, and in the open air or in a Meeting-house having neither doors or windows, 
 in the summer. In 1782 there was more than usual attention to religion, and several neighboring 
 ministers came and assisted him. After a few years he was dismissed by his own congrega- 
 iion, and became pastor of a church in Rutland, Vt. where he died and where his grave is. He 
 was considered a decided Christian, lovingGod and rejoicing to be the servant of his people 
 in preaching the Gospel and teaching the youth. In a quiet and sober manner he finished his 
 ministry and went, we believe, to receive the reward of one who had been ' faithful in a few 
 things.'" 
 
 Extract of a letter written to E. H. Carpenter, Manchester, N. H., by Rev. C. C. Mclntire, D. D., 
 dated Nov. 14, i88g: "After a little search I found the grave or at least the stone, of Rev. 
 Abraham Carpenter. The ground was in a beautiful, picturesque spot, but is not very well 
 cared for. The stone is a large-sized slab standing upright and firm and is in a very good state 
 of preservation. On the stone is engraved an oval band, and running around it are these 
 words : — 
 
 " This sleeping dust again shall rise 
 
 When Gabriel's trump shall shake the skies." 
 
 Within the oval is the inscription : — " To the pious memory of the Rev. Abraham Carpenter, who 
 we trust fell asleep in Jesus Aug. 21st, 1797, in the 58th year of his age." Below the oval and 
 near the base : — 
 
 " With mildest accents from his tongue 
 
 He often taught the listening throng 
 
 In silent notes still hear him say 
 
 Prepare for death and come away."

 he had previously lived in Woodstock, Conn. He and his brother Allen 
 enlisted in Woodstock in the Revolutionary war; after the close of the war 
 Allen moved to Vermont or xNew York ; and it appears that Nathan after his 
 marriage returned to Connecticut and later emigrated to Vermont ; it appears 
 he had children born in Connecticut.

 ritory of the United States, N. W. of the Ohio River; that county at that time covered immense 
 territory ; this land is now five miles south of the town of Delaware. 
 
 Liberty township lies south of Delaware and is one of three original townships into which the 
 county was divided for temporary purposes, at the time of its formation. 
 
 This township is noted as being the site of the first settlement made in the county by white 
 people. A complete and intelligent history of this early settlement involves a sketch of the 
 family who made it. 
 
 The following facts pertaining to this noted Carpenter family and their settlement in this township 
 are from an article in the Delaware Gazette, written by A. E. Goodrich, a descendant. 
 
 After the death of Abiel, his son Abraham Carpenter was established in the family seat at the 
 village of Rehoboth, in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, which at that time was a small republic 
 and quite independent as it had not yet been enslaved by the encroachments of the British Min- 
 istry. Here he continually added to his estate by the purchase of small and sometimes. large 
 tracts of land until he became an extensive land owner. No doubt it will be somewhat surprising 
 to our readers to learn that prices for land then were about as high as at the present day, as is 
 shown by some of his conveyances now in possession of the writer, some of which date back 
 to the year 172S. For one-half acre he paid ^10 (fco) ; and for two acres he paid ^40(^200); 
 but as they were small tracts they were probably located near the village. [The above 
 account refers to Abraham, the father of Abiel and not Abraham his son.] In 1756, Abraham 
 (the father of Abiel) made his last will which is as much a dissertation on the Christian graces 
 as it is a conveyance of his property, bequeathing his property to his son Abiel and to his grand- 
 children as will be found in a note under Abraham (the father.) Abiel lived in the village which 
 was the choice of his ancestors, where he reared a large family and his third son, Nathan, 
 became the pioneer and the original settler of Delaware County. 
 
 Capt. Nathan Carpenter was born in Rehoboth in 1757, and grew to manhood amid the excite- 
 ments preparatory to the Revolution, a zealous patriot. He was among the first to respond to 
 the call of his country when the great colonial struggle came on, though scarcely more than a 
 boy in age. He fought bravely at the battle of Bunker Hill, at which place his brother was 
 killed and himself wounded. Afterwards he participated in several sanguinary battles, among 
 them the pursuit and capture of General Burgoyne, at Saratoga. After the surrender of 
 General Burgoyne, Captain Carpenter had an interview with him in which he took occasion 
 to remark that he had very reluctantly accepted the command imposed upon him by the 
 British Ministry — that of compelling him to war against the American Colonies. He soon 
 after confirmed his position by returning to England and joining Pitt's party opposed to 
 the war. Carpenter described General Washington as being a tall, large man, of very impos- 
 ing appearance and, like Buonaparte, devoid of warm or passionate affection, although so 
 ardently and truly devoted to his country. Persons owed more gratitude to him collectively 
 than they did individually. After the battle of Monmouth, Carpenter visited his home and 
 during his stay was married to Miss Irene Reid. But he did not long remain at home, and 
 soon after marriage returned to his post of duty. He took an active part in the campaigns

REHOBOTH FAMILY. 147 
 
 and participated in many of the battles until a peace was conquered at Yorktown. The war was 
 over and the troops were returning home. The battalion to which he belonged was 
 expected home on the evening of a certain day. The young wife knew not whether her husband 
 was living or dead. [Mail communications were not so complete nor soldiers' letters so common 
 as during the last war.] Full of hope, however, she prepared supper for both of them and then 
 sat down to await his coming. Sadly she thought over the probabilities of his return now that 
 the war had ended. She was beginning to despair and her heart to sink with hope deferred. 
 A knock was heard at the door. She started up but was unable to speak or move further. 
 When the door opened and, behold, both her husband and brother stood upon the threshold safe 
 and sound. [The brother was Allen Carpenter, No. 848.] It was too much; she fell senseless, 
 but her husband caught her in his arms. He had returned to enjoy with her the recompense of 
 those hard-fought battles, to share with her the rest of his eventful life. After the close of the 
 war Mr. Carpenter lived in Connecticut until 1785, when hemoved to the State of New York and 
 purchased a large estate upon the Unadilla River. It was while residing here, that the excite- 
 ment over the Ohio territory rose to a height exceeded only by that perhaps over California in 
 later years. Public meetings were held at which were discussed the stories of its delightful 
 climate and inexhaustible wealth. Never having become attached to the country which he had 
 adopted as his home, he was inclined to share in the enthusiasm. And then, a life in the West 
 would be congenial to his nature. One morning, after having ascended to the roof of his house 
 to shovel off the snow, a frequent necessity in that climate, he broke the intelligence to his wife 
 that he intended to leave that land of hills and snowbanks and go to the wonderful Ohio. Hav- 
 ing disposed of his estate and other effects which he would not need and having procured every- 
 thing required in his future home he bade adieu to his numerous friends who had gathered to 
 say farewell and started for the new Eldorado, on the 12th day of February, 180:. About 
 twenty young men (Powerses, Smiths, etc., etc.,) who were going out to see the country, some of 
 them afterwards becoming permanent settlers, accompanied him. He traveled on wagons and 
 sleds as far as Pittsburg, Penn., where he loaded his effects and passengers into a boat and con- 
 tinued his journey by floating down the Ohio river. The beginning of his journey down the 
 Ohio placed the little party beyond civilized limits and brought it a foretaste of the privations 
 and dangers of pioneer life. They traveled by day only, the boat being made fast to the shore 
 iDy night, but shortly after leaving Pittsburg some of the passengers became anxious to travel at 
 night also, and Captain Carpenter finally acceded to their wishes. The boat started out but did 
 not proceed far before it struck a " sawyer "- obstructions which were then so common in the 
 Ohio and Mississippi rivers, and crushed in the bow. The hold was rapidly filling with water, 
 when the break was rudely stopped and the water kept down, until the boat could be run ashore 
 ■and all on board rescued, though not a little alarmed. A day was spent in repairing the 
 ■damage, when they again proceeded on their journey, with light hearts and buoyant spirits. 
 Congeniality lightened every adversity and swelled every enjoyment. The variety of scenery 
 ■contributed largely to the entertainment of the little band, as it floated down la belle riviere. 
 This voyage was long remembered and was highly interesting to the other members of the 
 party, at least. Although early in the season, nature had already donned her spring clothes for 
 the winter was indeed over. The knolls and valleys were covered with grass, and hundreds of 
 deer which looked in great wonderment upon the strange barge, were seen grazing upon the 
 green slope. Sometimes a solitary moose, with his huge antlers, or a bear would change the 
 monotony of the scene and contribute to the variety of the bill of fare. Then turkeys were so 
 plenty and deer so tame that leo voyageurs never lacked for fresh meat. Marietta was left 
 behind; prominent hills faded away in the distance; the last bend was passed and the boat 
 arrived safely at the mouth of the Scioto river. But here a change must be made ; in order to 
 reach his destination the Scioto river must be ascended. Accordingly the cargo and passen- 
 gers were transferred to keel-boats, in which they were moved up to Franklinton, a place con- 
 sisting of three or four log houses, and situated across the river from where Columbus now 
 stands. Here a large canoe was procured and his goods transported up the Olentangy to the 
 place where Hiram R. Carpenter now resides, and where they arrived on the ist day of i\Iay. 
 1801, having been two months and eighteen days on the voyage. The first business in order 
 was the erection of a cabin for a shelter, which was built on the bank of the river just above 
 high water mark. It was rudely chinked with split sticks and covered with bark, but without

148 CARPENTER MEMORIAL. 
 
 floor or chimney. Flat stones were set up against the logs to make a safe place to build a fire. 
 The cabin was scarcely finished when it commenced to rain and continued for eight days in suc- 
 cession. After the flood had abated the land was surveyed and according to the previous 
 arrangement Captain Carpenter received choice of land in the section. He now began prospect- 
 ing for a site on which to build a permanent home, which must be erected and finished before 
 winter. His assistants were equally engaged in clearing, planting and hunting and the result 
 was they harvested 500 bushels of corn, besides superabundantly supplying the party with the 
 choicest meats. Game was plenty ; deer was to be seen every day ; turkeys were frequently shot 
 from the cabin door and the creeks were full of fish. 
 
 During the summer a substantial hewed-log house was erected on the site of the present residence 
 of Squire Carpenter. The family was moved into it and provided with improved furniture and 
 other adjuncts of civilization. In the spring following Captain Carpenter's settlement, 
 was joined by two other pioneer adventurers. The Colony now consisted of the families of Car- 
 penter, Powers (who came with Carpenter,) Cellar and McKinnie. Cellar was a gunsmith and 
 had manufactured guns for the war of Independence, while the others had used them to that end. 
 They were now associated together, not in war, but in subduing the wilderness and building up 
 homes in the new land of promise. 
 
 The children of Captain Carpenter, ten in number, were now young men and women and being of 
 congenial disposition were sufficient company for each other to render their forest home cheer- 
 ful and pleasant instead of suffering it to become lonely and irksome. They often had exciting 
 stories to relate concerning their adventures with wild animals and the Indians. With the latter 
 they were usually on pretty good terms. As many of those pioneer stories have been handed 
 down to the present time, we will give one or two for an illustration. There were those among 
 the Indians who sometimes became intolerable in their conduct, especially in their demands for 
 whiskey, and the whites in such cases, did not ha.sten to enter into a skirmish with them, know- 
 ing that they were in bad repute even with their own people. An old Indian whose name was 
 Sevans came to Carpenter's one day and asked for "whisk.'' Ira, the eldest son, who chanced 
 to be present, knowing too well what the result would be, informed I\Ir. Sevans that he could not 
 be accommodated. The old Indian urged his demand with so much importunity that it 
 became necessary to use other kinds of persuasion than argument. He first drew his knife 
 but Ira wrested that from him with little difficulty which rendered the red man furious, and he 
 began drawing his tomahawk from his belt, when a kick from his pale-faced adversary sent 
 him sprawling out of the door. As soon as he recovered himself he threw his tomahawk at 
 young Carpenter with all the force he could muster, but the door was brought together in time 
 to intercept the blow. The weapon passed through the door however, and was now in the 
 possession of the white man, who chastised Mr. Sevans quite severely. He then gave him 
 back his knife and tomahawk with the injunction never to be seen there again — an injunction 
 the old rascal faithfully obeyed. 
 
 There being a surplus of help at home. John Carpenter, the second son, concluded that he would 
 hire out his services and obtained employment of Mr. Patterson who had a trading post at San- 
 dusky. He set out for that place on foot and alone, following the Indian trails which were the 
 only roads there were at that time through the wilderness. He traveled in the daytime, guided 
 by those trails and a pocket compass, and at night slept by the side of a log. His first night's 
 rest was quiet and undisturbed but late in the second night he was awakened by shrieks and 
 howls, the source of which was evidently approaching nearer every moment. Being thoroughly 
 awakened and conscious of his impending danger he remained perfectly still by the side of his 
 log. The shrieks were soon changed to snuflings and then the beast sprang upon the log 
 directly over his head; walking down the log smelling of its intended victim, it again alighted 
 upon the ground and after smelling of him from head to foot, began to cover him up with leaves 
 that were within reach. After having accomplished this feat to its satisfaction it retired some 
 distance and began to shriek most hideously, and soon Carpenter heard a response in the dis- 
 tance which convinced him that he was the subject of a grand supper talk. Not wishing to 
 become the food of a panther and her cubs, he quietly crawled out of the pile of leaves which 
 had been heaped upon him and climbed up the nearest tree. The answering sound which he 
 had heard drew nearer, and soon the young family made its appearance. They tore open the 
 bed of leaves, but their anticipated supper had disappeared. Uttering hideous shrieks, the old

 one struck the track and followed it to the tree and rearing up against the trunk with her fore 
 feet stared indignantly at the subject of her disappointment. When the morning dawned, the 
 huge panther withdrew her interesting family and young Carpenter, happy in his escape, went 
 on his journey. 
 
 Captain Carpenter died in 1S14. On the evening of the gth of September, a little more than thir- 
 teen years after his settlement in the township, he was returning from the town of Delaware, on 
 horseback, the animal on which he was mounted being a very vicious one, and having left town 
 late, night overtook him before he reached home. He could not see the road and his horse had 
 no disposition to follow it. Winding along the river it passed between the bank and a tree that 
 stood very near it. An overhanging limb swept the rider from his seat, and, being so near the 
 brink, he fell down the precipice upon the rocks below. He raised upon his hands and uttered a 
 solitary cry for help. The familiar voice attracted the attention of a neighbor near by, who 
 hastened to his assistance. He immediately asked for water, which the man, with his hat for a 
 cup, procured for him from the river. Dr. Lamb was soon at the scene of the accident, but his 
 injuries were fatal, and he soon expired, thus ending, at the age of fifty-six, his eventful life. 
 His death cast a cloud over the entire community. They were all conscious that they had lost a 
 friend. His family were devotedly attached to him ; his physician and many friends wept at 
 bis grave, as they laid him by the side of his wife who had died ten years before." 
 
 Captain Carpenter's seven children who survived him, lived to the average age of Si years, aggre- 
 gating 570 years. The eldest daughter, Mrs. Swinton, went to Illinois in 1S16, and died in 1S73, 
 at the age of 93 years. Alfred died in Illinois, and Nathan, at his residence in Worthington. 
 The others are all dead except Mrs. Case, now S3 years of age. Most of them died in the coun- 
 try in which they grew up. Mrs. Case is living in Licking County in good health for one of her 
 years. Sarah, who married John Hardin, Esq., and who died at the residence of her son-in-law, 
 A. S. Goodrich, Esq., in the winter of 1878 or 1S79, ^t ^^^ ^S^ of 88, was the last surviving child, 
 except Mrs. Case, of Captain Carpenter.

 From \V. iM. Carpenter, of Chicago: " At the outbreak of the Revolutionary war Nehemiah was 
 living at home on Long Island ; he enlisted several times, his first service, being, we think, under 
 General Putnam in the battle of Long Island ; it is not known whether or not he went directly 
 from L. L to Dutchess County. The family name of this branch is said to have been Nehemiah 's. 
 
 After the war he removed to Dutchess County, where his son ^^'illiam was born in 1S06; he moved 
 to Manlius, Onondaga County in 1S16, which shows that the family were born in Dutchess 
 County. There is no doubt but what he is the great grandson of John who settled in Jamaica. 
 His mother was Elizabeth Van Vilet; it is fair to assume that this is the correct way of spelling 
 the name, although her grandson spelled it Meat, but it is written in the family Bible "Vilet."

 He was a very devoted man in the cause of Christianity : lie went from place to place doing good, 
 exhorting the people to become Christians ; and after an unusual period of successful work, he 
 died and is buried at Morristown, X. J. 
 
 The following appeared in a little volume published in iSSi at Newark, N. J., entitled "New 
 Jersey Church Book." 
 
 "MR. CARPENTER, THE SUCCESSFUL LAYMAN.'' 
 
 '■ Some years ago, a Mr. Carpenter, a lay member of the First Presbyterian church of Newark, 
 N. J., was moved by the Holy Spirit and through the teachings of the Divine Word, to seek a 
 richer and a deeper experience in divine things than he had hitherto enjoyed. 
 
 He was a poor man of limited education and small social influence ; and, before this, undistin- 
 guished from any ordinary Christian. The conviction was deep wrought in his soul that he ought 
 to have a more settled confidence in God and to do more for the advancement of His cause and 
 kingdom in the world. Accordingly, all his thoughts, his prayers and his conversation were in 
 the direction of what he sought. Thus, following the enlightened convictions of his conscience 
 and the teachings of the Word and Spirit of God, the Lord graciously granted to him the desire 
 of his soul, and the Ijeavenlv animation came upon him ; then, of course he longed to be useful 
 to others. And when his power in prayer and in conversation with the unconverted became 
 known, a number of the members of the church promised to meet all liis wants and those of his 
 family if he would devote himself wholly to the work of winning souls to Christ. He accord- 
 ingly labored not only in the city of Newark but also in the counties of Essex, iMorris, Sussex 
 and Warren. He was permitted to speak in the different Presbyterian, and other churches, 
 wherever he went, not as a preacher but simply as a layman, who had something to tell ' Of the 
 Unknown \^'orks of God.' Large and deeply interested crowds came out to hear him on week 
 days as well as on the Sabbath. He encouraged all Christians to seek for higher attainments in 
 the divine life ; and his warnings and entreaties to the ungodly were often resistless. Rev. 
 Albert Barnes, then l^astor of the First Presbyterian church at Morristown, said, after he had 
 
 No. 889 ; Family 130-J,. 
 
REHOBOTH FAMILY. 155 
 
 spoken an hour, standing in front of the pulpit: 'There is a mystery about him the most 
 remarkable ; every word he spoke seemed to take hold of the hearts of the people, from the first 
 sentence he uttered to the last.' For a period of ten or more years he thus labored in the ser- 
 vice of his Master, during which time it is said he was thought to have been the honored instru- 
 ment in the conversion of hundreds of souls to Christ. Some of the older people of Newark 
 still remember him, and narrate many interesting facts concerning his marvellous success in 
 Christian work. He stated to an intimate friend just before his death, that for tenyears he had 
 walked continually in the unclouded sunlight of God's countenance and believed that every 
 Christian should enjoy the same great privilege." 
 
 Solomon Carpenter died very suddenly, and was buried in the ground attached to the P'irst Pres- 
 byterian Church at Morristown, N. J. He left two daughters; one died young, and the other 
 one married, but died in middle life leaving a son. 
 
 On his gravestone is the following epitaph : 
 
 " He first himself to Christ did yield, 
 
 Then others sous:ht to save ; 
 The spirit armed liim for the fight 
 
 And many conquests gave. 
 With God he walked upon the earth 
 
 A pilgrim stranger here. 
 Fought the good fight and kept the faith. 
 
 And now a crown doth wear."

 still retains the name of Carpenter Hill and is one of the most prominent landmarks in that sec- 
 tion of the state. The Ramseys were among the pioneers of Tennessee. Margaret Ramsey 
 was a cousin to James K. Polk and was born on an adjoining plantation to that of the Polks on 
 Duck River. Peter was at one time a large land owner and also owned many slaves. In his

 JUDGE CARPENTER. 
 
 " The sudden decease of Judge Morgan Carpenter at the ripe age of 76, and so soon after that of 
 his esteemed wife, is an event which calls up many reflections among those who have been his 
 neighbors and friends for years; who have known him when as a farmer he was second to none

 in our county as a thrifty, industrious and economical man, and for an enterprise tliat never left 
 him in the rear, where dihgence and forethought could secure the desired result. He com- 
 menced life as a practical farmer in the town of Stamford, a half century ago, in the vicinity of 
 what was then known as the ' Federal Store;' he married a sister of the late Judge Bockee. 
 And when Judge Smith and William Davies began the growth of fine wool which was so profit- 
 able in those years, bringing usually one dollar and sometimes more per pound. Judge Carpen- 
 ter was not slow to gather round him his flocks of merinos, and soon shared largely in this profit- 
 able investment, receiving as much as ^S,ooo for his clip of wool. 
 
 He brought up and liberally educated his large family; but never while a farmer did he relax the 
 diligence with which he pursued that ancient and honorable calling. His house was always the 
 abode of hospitality and good cheer, and he was ever ready to lend a hand to his neighbors 
 when required. 
 
 About the year of 1838 he was nominated by Governor Seward as associate judge in and for the 
 county of Dutchess, and confirmed by the Senate, Judges Jackson and Gilbert being then on the 
 Bench. He served for one term and declined a re-appointment. Some 20 years ago, his health 
 being somewhat impaired he moved to this city where he has since resided and where he died. 
 The directors of the bank passed resolutions eulogizing him for his faithful service as one of the 
 directors for 35 years.

 168 CARPENTER MEMORIAL. 
 
 R. V. Carpenter of Kirkland, N. Y., states that he was a soldier in the Revolutionary war during 
 the most of the time; he took with him into the army his two sons and only children William 
 and Abiol, then mere youths of the ages of iS and 16 years; he served as Lieutenant in Col. 
 Timothy Donaldson's regiment eight months during the siege of Boston by the British, in 
 1775-6, and he served again as Lieutenant in Col. Danforth Keyesregiment about seven months ; 
 in 1777 and in 1778 as Captain in Col. Ezra Wood's regiment about eight months, in guarding 
 the posts and upper navigation of the Hudson river. March 5, 1779, he was appointed to the 
 separate and responsible position of commander of the guards, a troop stationed at Springfield, 
 Mass.. to protect the arsenal and military stores at that place, the duties of which trust he dis- 
 charged with vigilance and fidelity until the close of the war. March 31, 1783, after serving in ■ 
 the army about four years and a military service in the aggregate of about seven years he gladly 
 exchanged the cares and bustle of the camp for the quiet and repose of domestic life in his home 
 at Brimfield, Mass. In 1791, his son William having preceded him (the year before) he removed 
 to Kirkland, N. Y., then a part of Whitestown and later Paris, Oneida Co., N. Y., where he 
 engaged in agriculture until 1805. He was permitted to live to see the fruits of the sacrifices he 
 had made for his country, by the independence of the colonies and their advancement in wealth 
 and prosperity. 
 
 The compiler will now give the record as he finds it on the state records of Massachusetts which 
 corroborates the above statement of John Carpenter's war record. 
 
 "John Jr. marched to the relief of Boston in 1775, for twenty days. 
 
 "John Carpenter of Brimfield, Mass., sergeant in Capt. James Sherman's company served seven 
 days at the time of the Lexington raid; later was Ensign, Lieutenant and Captain in the Con- 
 tinental army and served almost continuously till April, 1778; he served in Col. Wood's regiment 
 in New York at North river, eight months from June, 1778. The rest of his service was in guard 
 duty at Springfield." 
 
 It was probably this John who served as first Lieutenant in third regiment of foot January, 1776.

 Waterman. Residence, Middlesex, Vt. A farmer. 
 
 Being a man of strong mind he took a deep interest in town and state affairs. His religious senti- 
 ments were those of a Universalist. 
 
 He was one of the early settlers of Middlesex; was one of a very large family. His father,James, 
 moved with his family to Sharon about 1775. Nathaniel and his son Alanson were in the 
 battle at Plattsburg, in the war of 1812. 
 
 In the excitement regarding the war of 1812, a minister of Middlesex preached a fiery war sermon, 
 and soon after, when they learned that the British were approaching Vermont,acall wasmadefor 
 volunteers. Amongst them were Nathaniel, his son Alanson, and the minister. When 
 they came in sight of the British and expected a battle, the courage of the noted sermon 
 man failed him and he fell back to the rear. Soon after this Nathaniel Carpenter met him at 
 a small gathering and reminded him of that occurrence by giving him a slap on the knee and 
 remarking, " I was never more sirrprised in my life than I was to see you fall back as if you were 
 afraid to meet the British." The minister calmly replied, '■ Squire Carpenter, it is a great deal 
 easier to preach than to practise." 
 
 Nathaniel's 2d wife, Abigail Morse, daughter of Nathaniel Morse of Royalton, was residing there 
 when Royalton was burned by the Indians; her mother was fleeing on horseback from the 
 invaders with her child, the said Abigail, in her arms, when they were captured by the Indians and 
 seated on a log, the Indians brandishing their tomahawks over their heads. They left them, 
 however, but burned their house and barn and the contents including seven fat oxen, etc.

 nership with Chester Hubbard in trade, with limited capital with good 
 success. About 182 1 he formed a connection with James Langdon ; in a few 
 years, when Mr. Langdon wished to retire from active business, Mr. Spalding 
 bought him out, making a debt of over $70,000. He built one of the best 
 brick houses on State St. In politics he was a ^^'hig and Republican and 
 served several 5ears as State Treasurer, and Assistant Judge of the County 
 Court, all of which offices he filled with credit to himself, giving good satisfac- 
 tion to the public. He was one of the first movers in the cause of tem- 
 perance. He objected to have liquor used and sold in his store, and was one 
 of the first who refused to furnish it at a public gathering at his house.

 he d. March 15, 1858. At the age of 17 he commenced the study of medicine 
 with his uncle, Dr. Carpenter of Alstead, N. H., and was found well quali- 
 fied for the profession, though he had never attended any school except a 
 common district school. He agreed to do business for the doctor one year 
 after he graduated to pay for his board and tuition, taking private lessons in 
 Latin and Greek during his stay with his uncle. He graduated at the Dart- 
 mouth Medical College in 181 2, at the age of twenty years. After two years 
 in Alstead he settled in Claremont, N. H., for only a few months, when he 
 removed to Montpelier, Vt. For more than 40 years was an active member 
 of the Vermont Medical Society, and in 18 19 he was elected Secretary, which 
 office he held for more than 20 years. At different times he filled the office 
 of President, Vice-President and Treasurer ; at the time of his death was cor- 
 responding Secretary and Librarian. He was a consistent Christian andmember 
 of the church for 42 years and a devoted helper in the cause of Christianity and 
 temperance. Their family consisted of nine children ; three of them died in 
 infancy. We extend this biographical sketch beyond the customary rules by 
 giving a sketch of two of the sons of James Spaulding, viz.: i,\\'m. Compen, the 
 2d son of James by his wife Eliza, b. Sept. 4, 1825 ; he studied medicine and 
 settled in Watertown, M'is. He enlisted as surgeon and was commissioned 
 in the 29th Regiment of Wisconsin Volunteers, Sept. 3, 1862. He was in the 
 battle at Port Gibson, May i, 1863, and Champion Hills, Miss., when their 
 division numbering 4400 had a loss during the day of 1320. It was here they 
 met Pemberton's army, which had come out of Vicksburg for the purpose of 
 fighting them. They marched night and day for 22 days till they came in the 
 rear of Vicksburg, fighting most of the way with only three days' rations, 
 suffering much bodily. Dr. Spalding remained at his post of duty for 
 seven weeks, till the city surrendered to General Grant. He then resigned 
 on account of his health and returned home.

 "A NARROW ESCAPE. 
 
 One morning, feeling a little better than usual, he crept up the hill and came 
 out on a piece of table-land where was a solitary oak tree some 50 feet high. 
 A ladder had been run up about thirty feet. The thought occurred to him 
 that if he could only climb up into the tree, he might look down into the city 
 of A''icksburg, as soon as the task was accomplished and he was well seated on a 
 limb for rest, some 15 or more bullets came whizzing by on both sides; in 
 looking across the ravine to the hill opposite he could see that he was a mark 
 for the Secesh sharp-shooters ; he lost no time in making for his regiment.''

 daughter of Rev. John Olmsted, D. D., editor of the Watchtiian and Reflector. 
 George Burley Spalding read law one year at Montpelier, Vt., then went to 
 Tallahassee, Fla., another year with Judge Davis. With this experience his 
 convictions led him to relinquish the law and study for the ministry. On his 
 return he entered Union Theological Seminary of New York City where he 
 remained two years, and com.pleted his studies at Andover, Mass., in 1S61. 
 After his graduation he accepted a calif rom Vergennes,Vt., where he was ordained 
 October, 1S61 and resigned in 1S64. By his labors here he proved to be a 
 very devoted minister of the Gospel, and his labors were signally blessed. He 
 then accepted a callfrom Park Church, Hartford, Conn., and was ordained Sept. 
 28, 1864; he resigned, and was dismissed j\Lirch 23, 1869, and settled in Dover, 
 N. H., the following September. His labors here were wonderfully blessed; 
 he resigned in 1883 and received a call from Ixlanchester, N. H., where he 
 remained two years, then removed to Syracuse, N. Y. and was settled over 
 the First Presbyterian Church in that city, and is now, 1896, their acting 
 pastor. Dr. Spalding's literary work has been extensive and he has held 
 many prominent positions of usefulness, viz.: A member of the Constitutional 
 Convention of New Hampshire in 1877 ; a Representative in the New Hamp- 
 shire Legislature, from Dover, in 1877 and Chaplain of that body. He was 
 appointed by the Governor of New Hampshire as trustee of the State Normal 
 School in 1876 and soon after was made chairman, which office he held till 
 he left the state; he was elected a member of the School Board of Dover in 
 1875 ^^""^ '^'^'^s made chairman of the Board in 1876 ; he was chosen trustee 
 and one of the executive committee of the New Hampshire Missionary

 spared till he was 18 years of age, when for the first time he went to a compe- 
 tent teacher for a few weeks ; at that time he had never seen an atlas. The 
 nextyear, in October, he attended school at the Randolph Academy a half term. 
 In 182 1 he attended medical lectures at Dartmouth College. While there 
 he was elected honorary member of the United Fraternity of Dartmouth Col- 
 lege and drew books from the library ; he continued his studies with his brother 
 James and attended the second course of lectures at Hanover, N. H. He 
 settled at Lyndon, Vt., where he remained for 16 years with good success in 
 his practice. He removed his family to Haverhill, N. H. in 1838. In 1861 
 he received the appointment of examining surgeon for pensions, which office 
 he held for more than fifteen years. Through the energy and perseverance of 
 Dr. Spalding the Academy was built at Lyndon, Vt, and competent teachers 
 procured, and in four months had a prosperous school of 80 scholars. He 
 manifested a great interest in schools in Lyndon, Yt.,and in Haverhill, N. H. 
 Soon after he settled in Lyndon he joined the Order of Masons and went 
 through the ordeals of Anti-masonry. In the excitement he was induced to 
 withdraw from the Order, for the good of the church' but on his removal to 
 Haverhill he rejoined them and became an active member of the lodge in 
 Haverhill. He was elected President of the first temperance society organ- 
 ized in Lyndon, and was one of the first movers in the cause of temperance in 
 Lyndon and in Haverhill, N. H. He and his wife were members of the 
 Congregational church at Lyndon and was one of its liberal supporters. They 
 had two children, viz.: Caroline A., and Mary Greenleaf who m. James H. 
 Towle of Nev/ York City. Dr. Phineas Spalding is still living, in 1896, in the 
 98th year of his age, at Haverhill, N. H. The compiler was a member of his 
 family, attending a short term of school at Lyndon in 1836 or 1S37. 
 
 Reuben Spalding was tlie great-great-great-grandson of Edward Spalding who emigrated to America 
 in 1630 or 1633, and settled in Braintree, Mass. At die age of 14 he went to Vermont to live 
 with his brother-in-law, Ebenezer Parkhurst, at Sharon ; the town then was almost a wilderness 
 containing only six families. His boyhood in the woods produced fearlessness, courage and 
 endurance. The principal labor was chopping trees and clearing land for cultivation and he became 
 an expert in the use of the axe. At one time \\z took a job to fell six acres of trees in an adjoining 
 town, which he accomplished in six days. He improved every available opportunity to acquire a

 knowledge of books ; he studied surveying and at an early day was employed by the government, 
 to survey the town of Chelsea. 
 
 A call was made by the government to raise a regiment of troops to defend the state from the 
 invasion of the British, Indians, and Tories from Canada. Two recruits were to be drafted from 
 the military company at Sharon. The lot fell on two young men, one of whom felt very badly 
 about leaving home and doing military duty. Reuben Spalding seeing the dilemma he was in 
 stepped out from the ranks and told him he would take his place for a dollar, and was accepted. 
 About this time there was an invasion from Canada of British and Indians and painted Tories who 
 came to Roy alton and Sharon, Vt., burning buildings, destroying property, capturing men, women 
 and children ; they burned Mr. Parkhurst's buildings.with fatted hogs and cattle,making all a deso- 
 lation. A large number of children were taken, but a resolute woman followed after them, and 
 by persuasion and entreaty obtained their release ; an Indian was sent to aid her in carrying them 
 over White river. Reuben was selected to follow the enemy and to inform the commanding officer 
 of the regiment of their encampment at night, which was in a ravine in the east part of Ran- 
 dolph, \'t.,with their camp fires in full view. He sent back word of their position and how they 
 might be surrounded and taken ; but for some reason either on account of cowardice or to save the 
 prisoners' lives, the colonel suffered them to depart without firing a gun ; while Reuben stood 
 behind a large tree all night, waiting for the troops to come up, and it seemed to him he could not 
 be restrained from firing at the enemy. He was ordered to follow them until there was no doubt 
 of their return to i\Iontreal ; this he did as far as Burlington, then returned to his regiment; 
 some of the prisoners were kept in Canada until peace was declared ; their sufferings can hardly 
 be described. 
 
 After this, Reuben Spalding went into New York to Ticonderoga. It being winter his sufferings 
 were very great, but in the spring peace was declared, and he was discharged and returned home. 
 Later, he received a small pension for life, which money he usually gave for charitable and rehg- 
 ious purposes. He settled on a lot of wild land in Sharon, and built a small shanty in the woods, 
 and kept house by himself, having a cow and a pig. One evening when he came home he found 
 quite an overturn in his household; the milk pans were turned over and a general derangement,sup- 
 posingthe Indianshadbeen in theshanty, hegave the alarm, but by further investigation it turned 
 out that a bear had made him a friendly call, and, finding the door latch fastened, took the liberty 
 to go down the chimney and help himself, without any ceremony, to what he liked best and retired. 
 
 He held the confidence of his fellow townsmen and his party ; he was frequently elected to repre- 
 sent the town in the state Legislature and took an important part in the affairs of the state. He 
 held the office of justice of the peace for more than fifty years. He never studied grammar, yet 
 he was a good grammarian. He never studied law yet he was a good lawyer, a good judge of the 
 law, a promoter of good order, and a builder of good society. 
 
 He was a constant attendant at the church and was one of the charter members of the first Congre- 
 gational church of Sharon and took an active part in evening and week day meetings. He was 
 a pioneer in temperance ; he had a very large orchard and some years made lOO barrels of 
 cider and what he could not sell was converted into cider brandy, but feeling the importance of 
 temperance he cut down his orchard except a few choice trees. He lived and died in Sharon.

 He brought the first load of goods from Burhngton, Vt. into Moretown to furnish a store in that 
 town. He was a man of vigorous intellect, of giant frame and prominent characteristics; he 
 was robust mentally and physically ; he was a justice of the peace in Moretown for forty years ; 
 was noted as a presiding officer in justice courts, and would equally as well,when an opportunity 
 permitted, appear as counsel. He seemed to have a clear idea of equity and justice and was 
 well posted in rules of law. The Vermont Historcal Gazetteer r^cordsYam: "He was a good 
 lawyer though not a member of the bar. He was more than an evenmatch in law to his opposer. 
 He was a remarkable man mentally, and, physically and had he been educated, he would have 
 become famous in whatever profession he followed."

 Adaline, the daughter of Elisha and granddaughter of William and Esther Ingraham married a 
 Stetson; she has given the compiler much valuable information in regard to the Carpenter 
 family and deserves t'i;ir gratitude. Deacoi William Ingraham removed from Rehoboth 
 to Adams, Mass., in 1783. At this time Deacon Benjamin Carpenter who v.ent with him was 15 
 years old and was apprenticed to InL;raham. The ne.xt year they all went to Savoy and ever 
 after resided there. Charles E. Carpenter, the son of Benjamin, states that his father went by 
 marked trees from Adams to Savoy, and built a log house on his part of the land, when he was 
 21 years old. Elisha probably came soon after. Ezra Carpenter was the first town treasurer of 
 Savoy.

 also one or more to China ; he was engaged in the Revolution ; was taken prisoner and confined 
 on board a ship in New York harbor, where he endured great suffering, the fetters being kept on 
 his ankles until the flesh was worn to the bone; he was taken prisoner a second time and sent

 Byron B. Braley, of Albion, X. Y.; he was concealed by friends and assisted to France from 
 whence he returned to his home in Rehoboth, after the absence of two years. When he reached

 When on a voyage he was taken by the British and put aboard a prize ship ; he, with the rest of 
 the prisoners, overpowered the officers and arrived safe on American shores. The following is 
 an extract from a letter written by .Miss Elizabeth .AI. Perry to Will C. Clark, dated May 3, 1879: 
 ■■ Elisha and Comfort were not married, but one was to be soon. I think it was Elisha. I know, 
 whichever it was, that he spoke a ship and sent home his chest containing his wedding 
 clothes. I have seen some portions of the clothes which my mother had in some bed-clothes-, 
 they are now gone. I know that Elisha spoke a ship and sent word when he was coming home 
 but liis ship was never heard from afterwards; he was an officer of the ship which was always 
 supposed to have been lost."

 with the Baptist church with which most of the family united ; he died on the farm his own 
 hands had cleared. 
 
 Daniel Arnold, the fourth child, in the fall of 18S2, gave gi,ooo to the cause of home and foreign 
 missions and at the same time $300 to the Sabbath-school in his vicinity. lie and his wife were 
 devoted members of the Baptist church and were very popular teachers in district schools ; 
 later in life he often filled the pulpit of his own church, in the absence of a pastor, with great 
 acceptance ; he has filled many important oflSces of his town and for many years manifested 
 great interest in its educational matters. 
 
 Nancy Arnold, the fifth child.married Darius Pierce, Aug. 29, 1824. He was b. Sept. 2, 1801, resi- 
 dence, Chelsea, Mich. He is a brother to Betsey, the wife of Daniel Arnold. They had 
 ten children. He resided in Worcester eight years; he then sold his farm in 1832 and moved to 
 Michigan purchased a farm in Washington county. He was one of the commissioners acting as 
 supervisor in the county until the towns were organized. He was elected a member of the state 
 legislature, in 1837, by what was called the Whig party; from that party he entered the ranks 
 of the Republican party and was devoted to the principles of that party. When the Rebellion 
 broke out, though willing, was too aged to enlist himself, but gave two of his sons to the cause, 
 namely, Henry C. and Pardon W. Henry C. enUsted August, 1S61, in Company B, First Michi- 
 gan Volunteers' Cavalry; he participated in many engagements in Virginia, and fell, with sabre 
 in hand, by a rebel shot, when he was making a noble defence for his country in the cause of 
 freedom and justice. He was carelessly buried by the enemy inside of their lines; under a flag 
 of truce he was buried by his comrades, with a rude slab to mark the grave. In 1865, at the 
 close of the war, he was removed by his brother to the cemetery near Chelsea, Mich., which was 
 near his boyhood home. He was a young man of great promise and had many warm friends. 
 Pardon W., his brother, enlisted Aug. iS, 1862, and served in Virginia and Kentucky and Mis- 
 sissippi, in Company H, 20th Michigan Infantry. He was in the long siege of A'icksburg, and 
 went on board a transport steamer near Memphis. He had been in poor health forsome months, 
 but refused to leave his charge, thinking it was his duty to do all he could as a soldier. He died 
 Aug. C), 1862, on board of the steamer, of a paralytic stroke, with no one to care for him but his 
 comrades who did what they could for him in his distress. There not being money enough in 
 the company to procure a casket for his remains, his captain, a Carpenter by name, gave his 
 note for one, and accompanied his remains home to his sorrowing friends; he rests by the side of 
 his brother Henry. 
 
 Mary H. the tenth and youngest child, married Joseph H. Dewey; their oldest child, Henry A. 
 Dewey, enlisted in the i8th New York Artillery ; he went to Baton Rouge, La., in 1864, until 
 January, 1865, when he was sent home sick; he died March 5, 1S65. He chose for his motto the

 Sylvanus Jenks Carpenter was in the war of 1S12. He came to Groton, N. Y., when that place 
 was first settled, in company with Ezra Carpenter, Xo. 1562, son of Ezra by his wife Esther, 
 No. 609. Sylvanus' name is noticed on the first church records, and also that of Ezra and Ruth 
 Carpenter. Ezra was a surveyor and he surveyed lot No. 75 in Groton, in 1797. The Groton, 
 N. Y., histoiy says, " In October, 1797, two teams were fitted out, and one with Ezra Carpenter 
 came from Savoy, Mass., to clear and survey lot No. 75 for a farm ; but before winter set in they 
 accomplished their task and journeyed on to Canajoharie, N. Y., and thence back to Massa- 
 chusetts." The following is from the church statistics: " The first Baptist church of Locke and 
 Groton are nearly one and the same ; it was organized Aug. 27. 1806, and in the list of member- 
 ship, the names of Sylvanus Jenks, Rhoda C, his wife, and Ruth are found. It is not known 
 who Ruth is, and the oldest member of the present day cannot tell. Ezra was one of the first 
 members of the East Congregational churcli.

 William Carpenter, No. 16, was chosen proprietors' clerk at Weymouth, in 1643, and held the office up 
 to 1649, when (probably) Peter Hunt was elected town clerk. (The indications are that WiUiam 
 Carpenter continued to act as proprietors' clerk till his death in 1658.) About this time, WiUiam 
 Carpenter, No. iS,the son of William^, was elected town and proprietors' clerk and served as clerk 
 till 1693, except for about five years,when Stephen Paine was elected and held the office for about 
 ten years. Then it came into the Carpenter family again by the election of Daniel Carpenter, No. 
 37, son of William, No. 18, in 1702, it being held by him and Daniel, Jr., No. 145, until 1763 ; 
 (Daniel, Jr., was probably electedabout 1730,) the two holding the office for about 60 years; at

 30 years, until 1793, when Jeremiah Wheeler was elected and served 22 years, when it came back 
 againinto the Carpenter family by the election of Wooster Carpenter, N0.1318, the sonof Asahel, 
 in 1815, who was the last clerk elected by that body and who served until his death in 1858. 
 With the exception of the 22 years held by Jeremiah Wheeler, the office has been held almost 
 continuously by one line of the Carpenter family, during 175 or 200 years.

 Asahel was elected treasurer of the proprietors in 17S3 and served until Thomas Carpenter, No. 
 1S74, was elected in 1793; the latter served until Woosterwas elected in 180S, the last treasurer. 
 
 The proprietors' clerk acted as clerk for the town and all matters pertaining to both were recorded 
 in the same book till 1730, when, by a vote of the proprietors and the town, the proprietors' 
 records were transcribed from the town records by a committee elected for that purpose, con- 
 sisting of John Hunt, Daniel Carpenter, No. 145, and Ezekiel Read. Since that time the pro- 
 prietors and the town have each chosen their own clerk.

 An extract of a letter from John A. Wallace of Buffalo, N. Y., in which this family is given more 
 fully :— 
 
 " Buffalo, N. Y., Feb. 2, 1894. 
 A. B. Carpenter, 
 Dear Sir: — The information regarding the father of Polly Carpenter I derived from my aunt, 
 the only surviving child of Polly, Mrs. Laura Olcott of Oshkosh, Wis., who is now past 90 years 
 of age, so we can excuse her errors. She also sent me a list of the children, which 1 note by 
 your hst, is correct. I take the liberty of enclosing herewith a list of the descendants of Nathan 
 and Polly, but as I do it mostly from memory, have few dates except in the case of my own 
 immediate family. All that I know regarding the true name of Polly, Dolly, Molly or .Mary, is 
 that in the family Bible it is recorded as Polly, and on the tombstone as Mary. Everyone 
 called her Polly. You state that Nathan and Polly moved to Moriah "near Rochester, N. Y." 
 This is an error. Moriah is in Essex county, in the northern part of the state, while Rochester 
 is in Monroe county in the western portion. The fact is they followed my father and mother to 
 the town of Brighton, and settled near them, about one mile from the city. After the death of 
 grandfather, grandmother came to my mother's and died at her house. As you will note by the 
 record I send you, Nathan and Polly had six children, one still living. This record will also 
 answer your question regarding a brother Daniel. There was none such. I never knew any- 
 thing about the Carpenter family, and am surprised to learn that many of the own cousins of my 
 mother are still living. If it is not too much trouble, I would like a transcript of the line,— that 
 is my own— from the emigrant ancestor, if you have him, and if ever you publish a genealogy, 
 should hke a copy. If you have been engaged on this question for some time. I can sympathize

 with you, as I have already traced the Wallace line Cjuite a distance, and the Sherman family to 
 the ancestor who died in England in 1580. It is for the purpose of having the collaterals straight 
 that I addressed you. I am a strong believer in Americanism. I believe the older families 
 should see to it that their records are followed out. and kept straight while it is possible.

 Miss Caroline Putnam, daughter of Francis Putnam who married Eliza Carpenter, No. 5699, a

 of her day ; who was either his, Frederick's (born 1766) half-sister (Mason being her name by 
 marriage) or perhaps his aunt.

 could not have been the wife of Ira Brown Carpenter, No. 2S89, but Ira his father who was born 
 in 1786, No. 1360. She must have married Preserved Abell whose first wife was Elizabeth born

 Reading, Mich. He d. Sept. 10, 1826. Residence, \A'aterford, A't. and Pen- 
 field, N. Y. A Presbyterian minister. 
 
 The Rev. Asa Carpenter was educated at Dartmouth College and graduated in 1795; he studied 
 Divinity with Dr. Burton of Needham, Mass. He commenced his ministry about 1796. He 
 established the first Congregational church in Waterford. Vt., and labored there until 1S17, when 
 he moved to Penfield, N. Y. He formed a Presbyterian church in Penfield, he also founded 
 another Presbyterian church in North Penfield, and preached to the church in the '■ Village " 
 with the exception of one or two years which time he preached mostly in NorthPenfield. He 
 labored with these two churches during the last nine years of his life. He was one of the three 
 that constituted the ecclesiastical council in settiing the first minister of St. Johnsbury, Vt. 
 He preached the first sermon in Coventr)^, Vt., in 1S06, delivered in Jothan Pierce's barn on a 
 week-day. There is no doubt that when this sermon was preached he was on a visit to his uncle, 
 John Carpenter, .\o. 542, who then lived in Derby or Bro\vnington, Vt., who had about that time 
 moved there from Bethel, A^t. 
 The following is relative to the settlement of Asa Carpenter at Waterford, Vt.: 
 May 30, 1798, an ecclesiastical council convened at the house of Asa Grow in Waterford, agreeably 
 to mission letters from the society in said town for the purpose of forming a church and setting 
 apart Mr. Asa Carpenter to the work of the Gospel ministry in this place. The churches 
 present at the ordination were, Lancaster, N. H.. Haverhill, N. H., Newbury. A't, Danville, Vt., 
 and Thetford, A't.; the latter was represented by Rev. Asa Burton witli whom Asa Carpenter 
 studied divinity. The Rev. Asa Burton was moderator and Rev. John Fitch scribe. 
 The church was organized, consisting of four members, namely, Reuben Buck, Samuel Soper, 
 Samuel Fletcher and John Grow. In church meeting, IWay 30, 1798, Joseph Willard was chosen 
 moderator of said meeting ; he voted to give the Rev. Asa Carpenter an invitation to settle with 
 them in the Avork of the Gospel ministry.

 Moderator. 
 A letter of acceptance to the church of Christ in Waterford, beloved in the Lord : 
 " Since you have given me a call to settle with you in the work of the Gospel ministry, I now 
 exhibit to you that I accept of the invitation, wishing that grace, mercy and peace may be mul- 
 tiplied unto you.

 He moved to \^'aterford in 1808 into the wilderness and cleared up a farm, 
 on which the Compiler now resides. 
 
 Isaiah Carpenter, Xo. 140;. moved from Ashford, Conn., to \Yaterford, ^'t., in the spring of iSoS, 
 taking" his family and goods in atwo-horse wagon, including only one chair for his wife to occupy 
 dming the journey, a distance of 200 miles, which was accomplished in lo days. The lot on 
 which he \\'as to move he had never seen nor was there a tree cut. He occupied that summer 
 an old log house, on a lot adjoining the one he was to take, which was not much of a shelter as 
 it was about ready to fall in. That summer he put up a small framehouse in the woods, covered 
 it with rough boards, which proved a poor protection against the cold winter, as water would 
 freeze in the room in ^^•hich they lived, in the middle of the day during the coldest of the weather. 
 The two-horse wagon which he came up in was exchanged even for a 30 by 40 foot barn, 
 framed, put up, boarded and covered, and made complete that season ; erected near the house, and 
 was in use till about 1SS3 when it was torn down. The house is now used for a farm shop. 
 Both stood near where the present building now stands. The first winter after he moved to 
 Waterford he taught school in the district where he lived and had about 60 scholars ; he 
 received S12 per month. S2 in money and Sio in merchantable stock or grain ; he boarded himself. 
 
 Caroline Bugbee, the wife of Isaiah Carpenter, w^s the granddaughter of Josiah Bugbee who was 
 born Sept. 10, 1736, and married PoUycena Arnold, the granddaughter of an English Princess. Her 
 mother was married when she \^•as only seven years of age as it was customary to marry prin- 
 cesses in infancy to keep up the title, but as she grew up to womanhood or about the time she 
 would be claimed as a wife her obligations as a wife were so distasteful that she and another 
 young princess in the same situation went secretly aboard a vessel and sailed to .America. The 
 journey was so perilous she could not be induced to return to England ; they came very near 
 being taken by the pirates. In such a case the women would probably have jumped overboard 
 or been thrown overboard. She married a man by the name of Arnold and lived in Hartford, 
 Conn. Her daughter, PoUycena, married Josiah Bugbee, Josiah was the great grandson of 
 Edward Bugbee, of Ro.xbury, .Mass., who died previous to 166S.

 He was captain of a company in the war of 1S12 and went to Xew London to keep the British 
 from landing there, in which they succeeded ; he was gone three months. Tlie following is his 
 obituary notice : 
 
 •' The subject of this notice was born in Eastford, Conn.; he removed to Chautauqua county, near 
 the village of Sinclairville, in 1836, where he has since resided and where he will long be remem- 
 bered as an active, devoted Christian. For 23 years he has faithfully served the Congrega- 
 tional church in this village (Sinclairville) as its senior deacon and has always been ready for 
 every good word and work. His death was sudden. He lived the life of the righteous and 
 ' being dead he yet speaketh.' " 
 
 The compiler finds on the official records of Connecticut that a Josiah Carpenter marched to the 
 relief of Boston at the time of the Lexington scare in 1775 for 21 days. This record is set to 
 Josiah Carpenter of Coventrjf, Conn., No. 461. He has not been able to find any tradition in the 
 family that this Josiah served in the Revolution. He does find a reliable tradition that Jonah, 
 No. 543, (the father of this family) was a minute man and went to Boston and vicinity in 1775. 
 He believes that the above record belongs to him. Jonah was called Josias in the family and 
 was probably so recorded but in the transcribing it was possibly written Josiah.

 Elisha was famous for his ready wit; his reputation for it has survived to this day. He could not 
 apparently miss an opportunity for its exercise even at the mouth of the shot guns. On being 
 met m a dark, lonely place by a highwayman who demanded his money or his life, he replied 
 with startling readiness, " Money ! I have not a continental; but take my life and if there is any 
 thing in it I will go you halves." The robber said " Good evening.'' and disappeared in the 
 darkness.

 At that time the town contained only eight families. He, with others, laid the foundation of the 
 flourishing academy and a Congregational church which are now exerting an extensive and 
 salutary influence upon the educational and religious institutions of that section of the state. 
 He was a very strict and devoted man, a deacon of the church. His wife Susanna was the 
 daughter of Reuben Proctor by his wife Minda Bigelow of Hartford, Me., and sister of Mianda 
 Proctor who married Seth Carpenter; father and son married sisters. She organized the first 
 Sabbath-school in Fo.xcroft, and is still remembered as a remarkable woman and great church 
 goer. They have a glass canteen in this family that Alajor Reuben Bigelow carried through the 
 Indian and French wars. Mount Bigelow was named for him. He was with Wolfe's army in 
 Arnold's expedition to Canada. 
 
 Mrs. Carpenter believed it her duty to consecrate her children to God in baptism. Elbridge G. 
 was her eldest son and Mrs. Carpenter like Hannah of old would give her first-born son unto 
 the Lord. Their nearest church was in Garland, six miles away from Foxcroft, through a 
 dense wilderness: only a sled road a part of the way was cut out. Mrs. Carpenter with her 
 infant son and Mrs. Mitchel, her neighbor went to meeting at Garland ; started on an ox-sled as 
 far as the road was cut, then tlie two women mounted a horse, Mrs. Carpenter taking the babe 
 in her arms, and found their way through the woods by marked trees ; when Mrs. Carpenter 
 was arm weary Mr. Carpenter, on foot, would take the babe, and by taking turns in this way 
 they reached the church. On this day Mrs. Carpenter and Mrs. Mitchel made a public confes- 
 sion of their faith in Christ and on tfie same day Mrs. Carpenter consecrated her son to God 
 who afterwards became a very devoted servant and minister of Christ. 
 
 A Congregational church was organized at Foxcroft, Dec. 31, 1822. Nathan Carpenter's name 
 stands first on the church records of members and first on the call of the Rev. Thomas Williams 
 of Brewer, Me., who was duly installed, Mr. Carpenter moving the family and goods from Brewer 
 to Foxcroft on an ox-sled. Mr. Carpenter was chosen the first deacon and was active in the 
 temperance movement ; through him a by-law was inserted that the members must abstain from 
 the use of all intoxicating liquors as a beverage. The vote was unanimous. By his personal 
 efforts he secured funds for the academy which for more than 50 years has been a source of 
 honor and prosperity to the town.

 He was a soldier in the Revolution between three and four years; he was with Washington in 
 crossing the Delaware and participated in many of the important battles of the war. April 19, 
 1775, the battle of Lexington was fought, and about four o'clock in the afternoon of the 21st, 
 the news of the battle reached Foxboro with the call to the " minute men " to march at once to 
 the assistance of the American troops near Boston. Ezra was in the field ditching, when he 
 received the news; leaving his spade in the ditch he hastened home and with his step-mother's 
 assistance packed his knapsack and at sunset on that April night, started on foot for the seat of 
 war. He walked as far as Walpole where he halted to rest, turned in but didn't sleep a wink, 
 as he says " I was so excited and anxious to fight the red-coats." In the morning he pushed on 
 to Dedham where the regiment was stationed and in two days marched to Boston. Although 
 not a participant, yet he was a witness of the battle of Bunker Hill, and so near that a stray 
 bullet cut his underclothing grazing the skin, and killed a cow. In all the after years of his life 
 it was a source of regret that he could not have been one of the immortal patriots engaged in 
 that famous battle. When age came with its infirmities, nothing pleased him more than to 
 have us boys gather around him while he repeated over and over the stirring scenes of the war. 
 He told of his sufferings with his sore feet from wearing worn-out shoes.

 Nehemiah, the father. No. 575, was captain in the time of the Revolution. He was called upon to 
 draft a certain number of men which was attended with many difficulties in procuring them. 
 Several came forward and offered their services provided he would let his son Nehemiah go. 
 His patriotism would not let the opportunity shp, considering liberty was worth more to the 
 colonists than life. Giving unquahfied permission he readily raised his men and his son 
 Nehemiah went through the war and returned at its close to his friends. He was with Wash- 
 mgton m crossing the Delaware at the time the Hessians were taken. 
 
 This Nehemiah is, no doubt, the son of Nehemiah by his wife Elisabeth Sweet, being only 17 
 years of age at this time, when his father was called upon to draft a certain number of men and 
 gave his approval to the enlistment of his son who was then under age to do military duty.

 A company of nine, who went out from Attleboro in 1790, and settled in the town of what is now 
 called "Harford, Penn.", have been called "the nine partners," as they joined together their 
 fortunes to go into the dense wilderness and make a home of their own, thereby forming and 
 settling a new township. They are recognized in history as " The Nine Partners "; and among 
 them we find the name of Carpenter. Some of them were counted in with the nine and others 
 were not; among those of the Carpenter name who are mentioned sre, Samuel Thacher, (son of 
 the Rev. Peter Thacher, who married Bethiah Carpenter, No. 574), Samuel married Betsey Car- 
 penter, No. 1500, daughter of Daniel, No. 581, in 1792. John Carpenter, No. 1497, a brother to 
 Betsey. Also Josiah Carpenter, No. 1520, son of Josiah, who married Chloe Carpenter, No. 
 1914, daughter of James, No. 799 ; she was third cousin to Josiah, her husband, and to Betsey 
 and John. It also appears that Caleb, No. 1916, son of James, went out there with his sister and 
 brother-in-law, and is called " Caleb Jr." He is also called " Young Caleb " (when he was 35 
 years of age.) No doubt it was to distinguish him from an elder Caleb. From that time, no 
 trace of this " Younger Caleb " can be found. It is also said that Daniel, No 149S, a brother of 
 John and Betsey, went out with the nine ; if so, he did not remain there long; he must have 
 returned to Attleboro, where he settled and raised a family. Their journey out is so nearly con- 
 nected with the family, it will not be wholly uninteresting to the reader, and is given below. 
 
 " On the 27th of April, 1790, Tiffany, Titus, FoUet, Josiah Carpenter, and Caleb Jr., left Attleboro ; 
 the other five the 29th; taking different roads in order to visit some connections and acquaint- 
 ances who resided in the northern and western part of the states. They all met at West Stock- 
 bridge, and proceeded westward to Kinderhook. 'When here, they concluded that Cherry 
 Valley would be the place of their residence. That conclusion, to look just ahttie farther, made 
 many members of this audience Ufe residents of Harford instead of Cherry Valley. 
 
 Emerging from the woods upon a cleared spot, now' Cooperstown, they saw three small frame 
 houses. Cooper, whp had espied them, rushed out, and with his characteristic briskness and 
 jolhty, swung his hat and hallooed " Whora, ye Yankees; whora, ye Y'ankees ! " Seizing the 
 hand of the foremost he inquired, " How do you do? How have you been since I saw you? 
 And how is your family ? " And then he addressed the next, and the next in the same manner, 
 when in fact he had not seen or heard of any of them before in his life. 
 
 The end of the consultation was, a trip down the Susquehanna. Cooper, possessing an inexhaus- 
 tible fund of wit and good humor, finding in the company congenial spirits, made the forests 
 resound with repartee and the loud laugh. At one time he fell overboard, and being pulled out, 
 Hosea Tiffany inquired, " What news from below." 
 
 As far as the eye could see, nothing but an unbroken forest lined the banks of the river, mile

 upon mile. They landed at the Great Bend the morning of May i6, the Sabbath, and attended 
 meeting. The body of worshippers were composed of members from twelve different families. 
 
 They remained over night a little above Great Bend. Monday, under the lead of Cooper they 
 took the route of marked trees up Salt Lick Creek. This empties in the Susquehanna some 
 distance above the present bridge. At the opposite end of this bridge were three tolerably 
 sized apple trees, planted by the Indians, which bore well ; and there also were signs of an 
 Indian garden, having parsnips and scurvy grass. 
 
 They reached a small clearing, and a small new uninhabited hut. This hut may be identical with 
 the one described in Samuel Preston's diary, Oct. 20, 17S8, as being built by his party, 20 feet 
 square, and of cherry logs. Here they encamped for the night. 
 
 The noon of Tuesday found them on the summit of the hill. One of the company climbed a tall 
 pine. Hardly a better spot could have been chosen from which to view the land. The heavy 
 ridges of the township could be clearly traced. The deep valley at their feet is now Burrow's 
 Hollow ; high in the southeast stood Elk mountain. The light green of the leaves contrasted 
 with the deep green of the giant pines and hemlock, — a heavy, unbroken wilderness, without a 
 human being in it ; so lonesome and silent that not a bird was there. 
 
 A couple of giant hemlocks were soon felled and a rude bark hut built on this very spot. Four 
 nights were passed here, the days being spent in prospecting. Cooper had brought them to this 
 spot because it was near the Field's tract of 2,000 acres, principally now in Lenox. Contrary to 
 his hopes, they chose Harford's rough hills to those of our neighbor. 
 
 A vote of these men during some part of these four days gave a majority against a purchase here. 
 
 It would have been easy for Judge Cooper to have drawn up the writings Saturday morning on 
 this spot, before breaking up, yet that was not done till the party had travelled into what is now 
 Gibson, several miles beyond their purchase. Evidently Cooper did not wish to go farther with 
 them. It must be yes or no, now. The decision was favorable. Writing materials were laid 
 out on a stump, near Potter's lake, on which was written out the deed of bargain and sale, 
 wherein foursquare miles of land with deductions that reduced it to 2.396 acres, were made over 
 to the " Nine " for ^i,ig8 ; just one-half pound per acre ; or as Federal and English money were 
 related then, $1.33 per acre. 
 
 The autumn of 1790 found them here again. A central log house was first erected for general 
 headquarters ; it stood below the culvert on the Farrar Hill road. 
 
 The summer of 1791 found the most of them at work. Hosea Tiffany had begun his clearing; 
 Robert FoUet was at work just beyond Bird Shirwood's in the meadow around the old well. 
 Samuel Thacher was preparing for his log house on the hill. Moses Thacher was clearing land 
 in D. Van Burskirk's pasture, near the famous spring. John Parker was toiling amid the stones, 
 just beyond D. E. Whitney's, and around the spring that still feeds the water-trough on the 
 road. Ezekiel Titus had chosen the farther end of his tract where he was erecting his cabin. 
 Daniel Carpenter may have begun on land owned by Horace Sweet. The younger Carpenter 
 is in mystery; while younger Caleb never became a nine partner, and the older Caleb, after 
 entering info the agreement. May 22, did not set foot probably on the soil for iS years. 
 
 In an ox-sled, loaded to the full, Hosea Tiffany brought wife and three children February and 
 Alarch, 1792. Also Robert FoUet brought his wife and child. Two years later, came John 
 Carpenter and wife and Samuel Thacher and wife ; each family with a son. And in the fall of 
 1795, came Ezekiel Titus, wife and two children. 
 
 Not till 1799 did Moses Thacher bring his family. He located outside the Nine Partner purchase. 
 In 1806, young Caleb concluded to emigrate to the settlement, locating near his brother-in-law, 
 Ezekiel Titus, at the foot of the bluff. And to this same home came the father, two years later, 
 now aged 69 years. — (iSo5). 
 
 The grit that characterized the greater portion seems not to have been possessed by Daniel and 
 Josiah Carpenter; they never settled in Harford, but early retired from the company. Whether 
 discontented with their purchase or appalled at the privations in prospect, is not known. 
 
 Before the year went out in 1833, the fourth Nine Partner was called for. Samuel Thacher, who 
 owned the pretty farm on the hill, died on the 9th of October, aged 65 years. He was a very 
 zealous man in the cause of Christianity. 
 
 March 2, 183S, the good John Carpenter must needs go, aged 71 years. A numerous family had 
 sprung up around him. Obedient, loving, but for those children he would never have paid off 
 
 No. 1507; Family 22: 
 
REHOBOTH FAMILY. 215 
 
 his Nine Partner Debt. He had buried his loved wife, Polly, in 1811. The blow was crushing. 
 Our uncle, Williston Thacher, then only six years of age, passed the house and saw those chil- 
 dren crying. That still, cold, dead mother ! With a little son and daughter under each arm. 
 
 They put the three to rest in the little graveyard and went to the home, that friends now said 
 must be broken up. But the brave boys, John, No. 31S9, and, Asahel, No. 3190, (the latter the 
 father of Cyrus C. Carpenter, No. 5399, ex-Governor of Iowa; also the father of Gideon Judd 
 Carpenter, No. 5397, ex-Speaker of the House of Representatives of California or Colorado) 
 prevented it. And at last another mother was chosen — very different from the first — but equal 
 to the task. She won the love of those children. Who does not respect the memory of Lydia 
 Carpenter ? 
 
 The seventh Nine Partner alone remained. Ezekiel Titus, while yet in his log cabin, buried Lois 
 Richardson, his first wife, under distressing circumstances. A numerous family. 
 
 Feb. 25, 1846, he closed his eyes, aged 82 years ; they inscribed on his tombstone, " The last one of 
 the Nine Partners who first purchased in this town." — (of Harford.) 
 
 We honor these men because they ventured upon new scenes, took new risks, chose privations and 
 discomforts and hard toil. They lived in complete isolation, perchance food for the bear and 
 panther; met the sorest of privations that must arise when about a half-dozen families occupy 
 an immense wilderness, and amid it all lived honorable lives.

 1545. II. Jonathan was b. June 19, 1757; m. Olive Sessions, M.d.y 20, 1784, a (Sn) 
 
 resident of Pomfret, Conn., and was probably a sister to Elizabeth 
 Sessions who married David Carpenter, No. 1995-. David was b. Dec. 8, 
 1757, son of John by his wife Mary (Woodward) Carpenter, No. 825. Olive 
 d. Oct. 20, 1848, aged 91 years. He d. March 14, 1S37, aged 80 years, in 
 Randolph, A^t. He was town clerk from 1786 to March, 1788. A farmer 
 and inn-keeper. 
 
 When he first came to \'ermont he bought land in Pomfret, where he brought his wife and a daugh- 
 ter was born in 17S4. He soon moved to Randolph, \'X. where he resided until his death at 
 the age of So years. The year after he was married he went to Pomfret or Randolph to prepare 
 a home for himself and wife, by clearing land and building a house. He soon returned for his 
 wife and took her into the wilderness to his home by drawing her on a hand-sled some two miles, 
 as there was no road to his cabin. In a few years in connection with his farming, he kept a 
 tavern and accumulated a handsome property for those times. 
 
 In his early life he was quite religiously inclined, but not a member of any church, but was rather 
 inclined towards the "Free Will Baptist." It was then Vermont law, grown from a scion 
 brought from the Blue Code of Connecticut, that the ministry of the Orthodox Church be sup- 
 ported by a tax on the polls and ratable property of the inhabitants, whether members of the 
 church or not. It also provided that any tax payer belonging to any other church might pay his 
 tax for the support of any settled minister in his own town of his own denomination. At this 
 time he had bargained for and lived upon a piece of land upon which he had cleared a small 
 area; built himself a small log house, happy in the possession of a wife and two small children, 
 and the owner of one cow. He had not a dollar of his own besides and no means to pay the 
 purchase money for his land, or for necessaries for his family, save his hands, cow, ax and hoe — 
 independent while able to work and dependent in sickness. In due time the constable came for 
 his minister's tax; he could not pay it for he had no money and could not get it. His cow was 
 levied upon and sold to pay tax and costs. The minister was paid for preaching the Gospel; 
 and his babies were deprived of their milk. This hard treatment had the effect of making him

 skeptical as to the truth of revealed religion. By dint of hard work and economj' and by the 
 blessing of God, he succeeded in temporal things and in a few years he exchanged his farm for 
 another in the same town, on which he built a large house and added to his farming business 
 that of keeping tavern and of course, liquor selling, which was then thought as necessary to 
 success as breath is to life. In the year 1836, the old original sign was still swinging to the wind 
 and was much weather worn, but the lettering and adornments were plainly to be seen. In the 
 center of the sign was a table upon which a decanter and tumblers stood, each represented to 
 behalf-full of liquor; on top were the letters, " J. Carpenter," and on the bottom, "In 1801." 
 The house was still kept open as a tavern in 1836, but no liquors had been sold for six years. A 
 family of five sons brought up in this liquor-selling tavern all joined the temperance movement 
 at an early day. 
 Although not a religious man he was always a very moral man, upright in all of his transactions 
 with fellow men; he was high minded and a despiser of treachery in all its forms; charitable to 
 all the worthy poor— they were never sent away empty handed; industrious, exemplary and in 
 all respects a worthy citizen ; was respected by his townsmen and was frequently called to serve 
 them in town and county with much credit to himself and town. He served the full term of 
 two years as a prisoner of war ; was carried to England, serving part of the time in Forton 
 prison and a part of the time in the old prison ship, "Jersey" in the full enjoyment of those 
 luxuries usually allowed to such gentry by the British government, cold, short and poor rations, 
 dirt, fleas, lice, rats and rags ; he served faithfully in this way until peace was declared ; and was 
 discharged as they usually discharge such prisoners, as his diary will plainly show. The reader 
 will find all of it interesting reading of reliable facts, as they come direct from one who was 
 there and saw with his own eyes and suffered what other prisoners have suffered. 
 
 JONATHAN CARPENTER'S JOURNAL. 
 The diary of Jonathan Carpenter as kept and written by him: "A short journal or account, 
 ledger or minutes of the life and transactions of Jonathan Carpenter, Jr., jumbled together 
 with disorder and confusion, together with the memorable and remarkable events which I have 
 seen at home and abroad, amongst the great and the small, old and young, friends and foes- 
 foreign domestic." 
 
 " I was brought up at home, at my father's who gave me a common education and I worked at 
 farmmg, etc., until I was upwards of 16 years of age, in which time I had brothers and sisters. 
 
 March 5, 1770, after a town meeting of the inhabitants of Boston, some differences arose between 
 the town folks and a party of the King's troops on which Captain Preston of the 29th regiment 
 ordered them to fire, and the killed and wounded has since been called " The Boston massacre." 
 
 Sept. 27, 1774, the King's troops began to fortify on Boston Neck and to use the inhabitants with 
 severity which caused great imeasiness in town and country concerning the governments and 
 duties; the British King and Parliament were about to inflict upon the colonies in America, and 
 the bad success that detested article " tea " has met with, by which they thought (by making 
 us pay a duty upon it) to bind on the chains. They have a long time been preparing to bring 
 America under everlasting slavery to Great Britain; but the duty was denied them and the tea 
 was destroyed in Boston Harbor. The inhabitants were resolute and ready to defend their own 
 rights and liberties even to blood if the case should require it, which, according to circum- 
 stances could not long be avoided as generally thought, and that the dispute might end by force 
 of arms. 
 
 Dec. I, 1774, I went to live at my uncle's, Nathaniel Carpenter, according to a bargain we made, 
 
 which was to work for him two years and one-half for his joiners's trade. 
 Jan, 9, ,775, at a town meeting and election of officers, etc. at Rehoboth, and a company enlisted 
 
 called minute men, to stand ready (well prepared) to march to a minute's warning to protect the 
 
 glorious cause of liberty. 
 
 ^7J' \"^' '""''^ families are moving with the best of their goods out of Boston fearing what 
 
 diitculties may arise, as the regular troops are strongly fortifying there. 
 April ,0 1775, a body of men marched from Rehoboth to Freetown after Col. Thomas Gilbert and 
 
 other tones collected there to disperse them. 
 April 19, 1775, last evening General Gage, commander of the King's troops detached a party of 
 
 about 1,000 men under the command of Colonel Smith, and secretiy set out with a design of

 taking and destroying stores that the Provincials had at Concord; coming to Lexington, they 
 found a number of inoffensive men together upon whom they fired, killed eight and wounded 
 nine and then pushed on for Concord. The inhabitants being alarmed and collected together 
 proceeded to a bridge when the King's troops first fired upon them which was returned with 
 martial bravery, which compelled them to retreat with precipitation; and though re-inforced by 
 Lord Percy with 1,400 men, they were glad to find themselves once more secure in Boston; 
 during all of which time they were followed by their pursuers. This was the first commence- 
 ment of hostilities between the King's troops and the Americans. 
 
 April 20, 1775, the militia marched from all quarters to Roxbury and adjacent towns. 
 
 May 9, 1775, the gates of Boston were shut and all communication stopped between town and 
 country. 
 
 May 10, 1775, I left working in the shop and came to work at my father's during the summer. 
 
 June 17, 1775, as the American army to the number of about 2,000 were fortifying themselves on 
 the heights of Charlestown or Bunker Hill, the enemy perceiving, sent out treble their number, 
 and setting Charlestown on fire, and landing in the smoke, proceeded to dispossess them of the 
 ground, which brought on a most obstinate and bloody engagement, when nearly 1,000 (some 
 say 1,500) of the enemy were killed and wounded; we, being overpowered in number, retreated 
 to Cambridge with a loss comparatively inconsiderable — about 100 were killed and died of their 
 wounds. 
 
 July 2, 1775, '^'S Excellency, Gen. George Washington, commander in chief of all the forces of the 
 United States of America, took the command of our troops at Cambridge. 
 
 Sept. 1, 177S, I went to work again in the shop of uncle Nathaniel Carpenter. 
 
 Oct. 8, 1775, an alarm at Bristol; the Rose (or Ross) man of war, Capt. Wallace fired upon the 
 town. 
 
 Nov. 2, 1775, Chamberlee and St. Johns were taken by our troops after a siege of six weeks. 
 
 Dec. 10, 1775, battle at Gwins in Virginia. 
 
 What relates to the services of Nathaniel Carpenter as captain of a company in which Jonathan 
 Carpenter enlisted will be found under the name of Captain Nathaniel Carpenter, No. 498. 
 
 February, 1776, about this time there was a company raised to go to Cambridge in which I enlisted, 
 and the 13th day we marched for Winter Hill with Capt. John Paine, at which place we stopped 
 until some time in March, when we marched around to Dorchester; at that time our troops took 
 and fortified the lengths of Dorchester.

 HaHfax. 
 March 2S, Boston opened, supposed to be cleansed from the small-pox, which was left in it. 
 April I, Captain Paine's company was dismissed at Dorchester and marched for Rehoboth.

 troops without any resistance, under General Clinton and Percy. 
 Dec. 23, the militia at Bristol were dismissed. 
 Dec. 26, General Washington surprised the enemy at Trenton and obtained a complete victory

 Jan. 3, 1777, in the night-time General Washington with his main body marched to Princetown 
 
 where he surprised a party of the enemy about three miles east of the town, killed and made 
 
 prisoners 500, with a large quantity of baggage, and six field pieces ; after which the enemy 
 
 retired into winter quarters at Brunswick. 
 Jan. 8, Captain Hill's company joined the regiment at Rowland's ferry. 
 June 19, General Howe's Army decamped from Brunswick where his headquarters had been 
 
 since January last, and they retreated to Staten Island followed by General Washington. It is 
 
 remarkable that General Howe's army returned to the same spot of ground where they first 
 
 landed and the day was twelve months from the day they first took possession of it, his encamp- 
 ment, and ships lie the same as then. 
 May 15, Battle of Bennington, Vt. A training at Rehoboth, and I, (Jonathan) enlisted for eight

 Burgoyne's army from Quebec, under the command of Colonel Baum numbering about 2,500 
 
 men near Bennington, Vt.; the enemy were defeated with the loss of 200 killed and 600 prisoners 
 
 taken, and four brass field pieces. Our loss was 30 killed and 42 wounded. 
 Aug. 21, 1777, General Howe with a fleet of 200 sail anchored 200 miles up the Chessapeake bay 
 
 and cannonaded Baltimore on the 27th, and then moved up to the head of Elk river and landed 
 
 in Maryland. General Washington was at Wilmington, thirty miles from Philadelphia. 
 Sept. II, Battle at Brandy Wine— the Britons left masters of the field. 
 Sept. 19, the American army under General Arnold on the west side of the Hudson river, four 
 
 miles above Stillwater had a warm engagement with the enemy, both maintaining their ground 
 
 until night, when both parties retired. One piece of the enemy's artillery was taken and retaken 
 
 four different times, the enemy finally keeping it. 
 Oct, 4, General Howe having sometime past, stole a march of a few miles on General Washington, 
 
 and camped at Germantown, eight miles from Philadelphia; but this day they had a smart 
 
 engagement for five hours, and in the first part of the action General Washington gained ground 
 
 but finally was obliged to retreat. 
 Sept. 25, 1777, General Howe's army took possession of the city of Philadelphia, (it being 
 
 previously evacuated by the continental army) with a band of music playing " God save Great 
 
 George our King."

 Oct. 6, Forts IMontgomery and Clinton on the Hudson river were taken by the British troops. 
 
 Oct. 13, the militia marched down to go on to Long Island. 
 
 Oct. 16, the whole army marched down to and encamped in the woods. 
 
 Oct. 19, we marched to Frogland's ferry in order to go on to the island, and some were afraid and 
 others did not dare to, therefore, it was omitted until another opportunity. 
 
 Oct. 30, we dismissed ourselves and each went their way; and I came to my father's."- 
 
 (We find in the list of members of Captain Hill's company. Jonathan Carpenter, Jr., No. 1545, 
 Benjamin Carpenter, probably No. S02, Jacob Carpenter, No. 1546, Eliphalet Carpenter, probably 
 No. 613, and Caleb Carpenter, Jr., No. 1177.) 
 
 Oct. 7, 1777, a smart battle fought at Stillwater in which General Gates drove General Burgoyne 
 about two miles, entered his works sword in hand and took eight brass field pieces and a quant- 
 ity of baggage with some provisions. 
 
 Oct. 17, 1777, Lieutenant General Burgoyne with the troops under his command surrendered 
 prisoners of war to Major General Gates commander of the American army in the northern 
 department of Saratoga with 37 pieces of brass cannon and 5,000 stands arms, stores, ammu- 
 nition, etc. 
 
 Dec. II, 1777, I and E. Read set out for Boston, determined to take a cruise in a Privateer this 
 winter ; we arrived at Boston the 13th, and went to work on board of Brigg Reprisal, James 
 Brown as captain, in fixing her out as we intended to go in her for which we were to have S2 per 
 day and board. Jan. 25, we got the brigg nearly fit for sea: there were among the number, 
 Ephraim Read, Jonathan Carpenter and Caleb Carpenter, (No. 1177.) 
 
 Feb. 13, 1778, in a hard gale of wind, we were driven down to the castle, etc., and lost one of our 
 anchors and cable, and on the 15th we put to sea, and having a fair wind we clawed off the 
 coast pretty fair ; but the 19th, having got across the Gulf Stream at daylight we saw a sail 
 which our Captain imprudently chased for nearly two hours, but finding his mistake put about, 
 but she came up with us at 12 o'clock, which proved to be the Unicorn, a 20 gun ship in the 
 service of the Tyrant King of Great Britain commanded by John Ford but we are no longer our 
 own men, but have a new master and one of John Bull's masters I think, ha, ha ! 
 
 Now we must go on board of a new ship and be put in irons and crowded down below deck, half 
 starved like poor devils (or rebels) as they call us. In this languishing condition we wereobliged 
 to stay, suffering all that those devils on earth (or rather hell afloat) could inflict, until the 7th 
 day of March, when we Avere brought into Rhode Island harbor and put aboard the Clibborn, a 
 prison ship riding at anchor. Now we enter another scene which is not much better, for our 
 allowance is very short — 150 men in a small ship (a light horse without number) but in hopes of 
 seeing a carteel from Providence every hour, but being loth to discover it and by the help of 
 kind Providence, we tovighfid it out until the 13th of April, when we became very ill ; but all 
 that were able were taken and distributed on board of a fleet of 24 sail, of Merchant's ships 
 destined for England. I was not well, but nothing would do but that I must go, and finally 
 went aboard the Myrtle, Captain Golden in command. My friend, Caleb Carpenter, and one 
 Thompson of Virginia were with me, three being the complement for each ship. 
 
 April 16, we sailed for Portsmouth, Eng., where we arrived the 12th day of May after a prosperous 
 passage of 28 days; I was sick almost all the passage, but by the blessing of Him who rules by 
 sea and land, I got my health again not by any favor or attendance from the " bold Britons " as 
 they style themselves. 
 
 May 13, 1778, we hauled into the harbor of Portsmouth, in the county of Hampshire, in Great 
 Britain. After shuffling me a'oout from one ship to another (to make me enter on board a King 
 ship) until they were weary. The i8th, they put me aboard of the Prince Amelia, a gun-ship 
 where I remained until the next day when we were sent ashore at Hosier hospital (a very fine 
 building) where there were upwards of 1,700 men belonging to the shipping and staying there 
 until the 4th of June when we were sent back to the guard ship again. 
 
 June 19, 177S, we were again sent onshore, where we were examined, tried and committed to 
 prison as rebels and pirates taken on the high seas; it being my birthday, the very day I should 
 have had my freedom ; but to get clear from cruel masters I rejoiced at an opportunity to go to 
 prison where I found 175 prisoners — some of them had been there a year and were in good 
 heart, but expected a long imprisonment. 
 
 July 6, there were 64 more committed to prison, taken in the Angelic out of Boston. For the past

 six weeks there has been a great talk of our being exchanged by the way of France, very soon, 
 which we call good news if it be true; likewise we hear that the British troops have evacuated 
 Philadelphia and retired to New York. There are 27 sail of the line lying at Spit Head, waiting 
 for a fair wind to put to sea, their destination is unknown. 
 
 July 10, we hear P. North has sent to France to know the number of prisoners, in order for an 
 exchange. 
 
 Admiral Keepel's fleet sails to-day. There is great expectation of war with France. 
 
 July 13, Admiral's fleet returns in again, having seen a fleet in the channel "big enough to Eat 
 Em," ha, ha ! Now the Press is very hot in the country, so that a man is not safe in his bed for 
 robbers and press gangs. 
 
 July 24, ten of our officers made their escape and got off clear. Both fleets are out. We expect 
 soon to hear of a battle. Admiral Keepel's fleet consists of the victory of 100 guns, and five of 
 90 guns and 18 of 74 guns and 7 of 64 guns, making 31 sails of the line and six frigates. The 
 French have 32 sail of the line and 15 frigates. 
 
 July 30, about two o'clock at night we were discovered in our work, which was the digging of a 
 hole to make our escape which could have been accomplished in two hours ; we had dug about 
 15 feet under ground. It is reported in the newspapers that the fleet in the channel had a bat- 
 tle. Admiral Keeple lost 350 men killed and twice that number were wounded, when both fleets 
 retired, the French into Brest, and the English disabled ships into Plymouth. 
 
 Sept. 8, last night there was a breach made out of the prison into the highway, by undermining 
 about 35 feet underground by which about 50 officers got away, but 20 of them were taken up 
 and put into the '■ Black Hole ;" the others got over to France. We were kept locked up until 
 noon, and broke the door-lock and the Devil was to pay, and so things were "pitch-hot." 
 
 Dec. 10, last night five men made their escape — " joy go with them." They tell us that we shall 
 soon be exchanged but I suppose they lie as they used to do. Our money is reduced to one 
 shilling per week— we have had two heretofore ever since I have been in this troublesome land, 
 in high life below stairs. 
 
 Dec. 17, the men of war officers came and took away the men that they had indicted in the yard, 
 being 15 only. 
 
 Jan. 1, 1779, this morning there is ice as thick as window glass ; all the frozen weather we have had 
 was one week. 
 
 Jan. 9, Mr. Newsham, our agent tells us that he received a letter from the Admirality which says 
 that our exchange will be in a few days. (I hope they don't lie as they used to do.) Also a 
 letter from Mr. Greenleaf who runs from this prison, who tells us that the Cartel has been agreed 
 upon this three months, and that it lies wholly with the English ministry when the time shall be. 
 
 Jan. 12, we hear to-day that 130 of our fellow prisoners have made their jokes by giving leg bail 
 to Mill prison at Plymouth where there are upwards of three hundred to whom Heaven send 
 deliverance in due time. 
 
 Feb. 19, twenty more prisoners joined our troop, making in all 255 — by kind Providence we are 
 very healthy — we have not lost but nine men, who died in this place since the first prisoners 
 were committed, which is almost two years but upward of 100 have broken out of prison and 
 have gotten clear. 
 
 June 20, Jeremiah , one of our privateer's crew from Rehoboth died at Haslex hospital with 
 
 the small-pox. 
 
 June 29, twenty-four French prisoners was brought to this place and put into another prison pre- 
 pared for that purpose, and committing them by small parties as they are taken in Merchant's 
 ships; having about 900 Frenchmen in prison. They begin to march them away to Winchester 
 Castle in small parties. 
 
 June 30, the total French prisoners committed to Forton prison were 2,730; at present time they 
 send to Winchester 1,530, leaving in Forton prison 1,200. 
 
 The allowance of food to supply six men for one week was as follows :

 March 25, 1779, Bartholomew White, a prisoner in the yard, was shot throught the body by a cor- 
 poral of the guard, which consisted of 60 of the Westminster militia; he died 24 hours after 
 being shot. The corporal was tried by a jury and cleared. (Proved, but very falsely to be by 
 accident.) 
 
 March 27, I came out of the hospital cleansed of the small-pox. We have a letter from Mill 
 prison which says that 100 of them have actually embarked on board of the Carteel ship for 
 France, and expected one hundred to go from this place next, which is joyful news, for I am 
 almost tired of imprisonment. We have had but six pence per week for the past three weeks, 
 which will scarcely admit of paper to write and cipher to keep ourselves out of idleness. 
 
 April 5, we received a letter from Plymouth, which tells us that the Cartel ship is to sail from there 
 March 25, with 100 men for the North; likewise Mr. Hartley, one of the parliament was here 
 and tells us that the Cartel shall come to this place for the next lot. 
 
 April 14, we had half of this day's allowance of money stopped by the agent to pay damages 
 done to the prison in trying to make our escape. 
 
 April 19, more American prisoners were committed to prison. (Nothing strange.) 
 
 April 26, twenty-four American prisoners were committed, and no news was received from the 
 Cartel as yet. 
 
 May 7, some of the countrymen brought in seven French gentlemen in prison who ran away from 
 this place, which caused a disturbance between the soldiers and some of the Frenchmen at 
 whom the Sentinel fired his piece and shot two of them. 
 
 May 8, we have a letter in the yard from Mill prison which says that they are very sickly in that 
 prison. They have had no news of the Cartel but expect her daily. 
 
 May lo, we have had a general washing and cleansing of the prison. 
 
 May 1 8, Mr. Wren Came and paid us our rations as usual and told us that he had news from France 
 that the Cartel ship had sailed for this port. (God send her fair wind). 
 
 May 20, I went out in my turn betwixt the gates to attend market, etc. 
 
 May 22, last night seven prisoners broke out of prison from the grand Lobster Guard at Forton, 
 etc., ha, ha, ha ! 
 
 May 25, the guard is relieved to-day by the Lincolnshire militia of 100 men. 
 
 May 28, the guard is relieved by the Surry militia. 
 
 May 29, our agent tells us that he expects the Cartel in every day (which I suppose is only to con- 
 tent us that we may not run away) also he has sent our names to London for his Majesty's par- 
 don, on which commenced a dialogue. 
 
 Prisoners — Pardon; D n his Majesty and his pardon too, who wants any of his pardons; 
 
 what murder or treason have we done, pray? 
 
 Agent — Why, you impudent rogues don't you know that you are rebels and were committed to 
 prison as pirates for murdering and plundering his Majesty's subjects? And if we should 
 subdue America, the laws of the nation would swing every dog of ye ; and without his Majesty's 
 most gi-acious pardon you would never step a foot from this place except it was to Tiburn or 
 Execution-Dock which you deserve rather than an exchange. 
 
 Prisoner — Overpower and subdue America — ah ! that is the least of my concern : you have not 
 
 done it yet nor won't until the D I's blind, and his eyes ain't sore yet; and if we wait here 
 
 for that our heads will be as grey as woodchucks, and then it will be a great shame for you to 
 hang us as it was for your troops to run through with their ba^-onets our inoffensive aged grand- 
 fathers and grandmothers who could not get out of their beds and rooms but lay at your mercy 
 begging their lives. 
 
 Agent — When was that done? 
 
 Prisoner — When your troops went out to Concord in April, 1775, sir, and likewise your officers 
 or commander in Canada gave a bounty on scalps to encourage the Indians, Hessians, etc. to 
 kill our harmless women and children. — This is the bold Britons, sir.

 May 30, a portion of the men that last went away were brought back and put into the "Black Hole." 
 
 June 14, we received a letter from Plymouth which tells us that the Cartel arrived at that place on 
 the 6th day of June but they cannot tell whether she will come here for the next lot or not. 
 Also two men went out of the yard on board ships, namely ; John Arthur and James Bonney. 
 
 June iS, we heard thatthe ileet under the command of Admiral Hardy at St. Helena under sailing 
 orders was ordered by an express from London which says that the (Spanish) fleet had joined 
 the French in the British Channel, etc. The Spanish fleet consists of 28 Une of battle ships and 
 the French 26; in all 54 ships of the Hne, besides a number of frigates. The English fleet con- 
 sists of 31 sail of the line, and a number of frigates. 
 
 June 19, 1779, we hear that the English fleet have sailed, and this day is the anniversary of my 
 imprisonment and my birthday, etc., but I hope that I shall not stay here much longer. 
 
 June 21, it is in the newspapers to-day that the Cartel ship arrived at Spit Head last night, which 
 we hope is true. 
 
 June 25, the Cartel came to see us, and said that he would be ready to receive us on board in 
 about five or six days which is very agreeable news to us. Cash that I received in this yard 
 from subscription is ^3, 2s. and 3d. sterling. 
 
 June 30, 190 of our names were called and ordered to keep ourselves in readiness to go on board 
 of the Cartel which would be in a very short time. 
 
 July 2, we were called to be in readiness, and in the afternoon we marched off throvigh Gosport 
 and went on board the Milford cartel ship lying at Spit Head, etc. The day long wished for has 
 come at last — Hurrah ! ^ I have been in Forton prison one year and 12 days.j 
 
 July 7, we weighed anchor at Spit Head and set sail for the river of Nantz, 
 
 July S, fair weather, small breeze ; we make but little headway, being at Portland at 2 p. M. 
 
 July 10, fair weather and calm; at three o'clock A. Ji. we anchored at Plymouth Sound. 
 
 July 12, took a gentleman and lady on board, and at six o'clock this morning we got our anchor 
 and made sail for Xantz, but the wind being contrary — at eight o'clock a calm. 
 
 July 14, fair weather, a small breeze of wind at Northeast by North; we left the Lizzard at eight 
 o'clock last night; South and Southwest, ran about three knots. 
 
 July 22, we were dismissed from the Cartel and set on shore at Penbeef at our liberty, which seems 
 very agreeable though strange to walk the streets at places; I have been in captivity 17 months 
 and three days. In the afternoon we entered on board General Jiflin, an American privateer of 
 20 guns, George Wade Babcock commander : was bound on a cruise towards America for about 
 three months. 
 
 Come, now messmates as we are at liberty, let us sing a song over a bottle or two of wine : 
 
 "Come now my jolly hearts of old, 
 
 Now from prison we are freed ; 
 Come fill us up a flowing bowl, 
 
 That we may drink with speed ; • 
 And let us now the bumpers flow 
 
 For we've obtained our liberty; 
 Success unto our allies now 
 
 That live here o'er the Atlantic Sea. 
 Likewise to all that for their rights 
 
 Do now oppose our British foe ; 
 For to maintain those thirteen stripes 
 
 Which make so grand a show 
 In supporting of the thirteen states, 
 
 For which we endured captivity. 
 The motto now that cures all fates 
 
 For me, is Death or Liberty. 
 Come now, let's take our thundering arms 
 
 And follow that magnanimous son ; 
 We are no strangers to alarm, 
 
 Nor he whose name is Washington.

 If we fight for it for fifty years."

 The diary continues and gives an account of the cruising of the Jifiin, (the boat which he was on) 
 and the engagements had with different vessels and prizes taken, etc., up to the time he landed 
 in Boston, Nov. i, 1779, whicli is here omitted, as well as the account he gives of the Revolu- 
 tionary army during the two years of absence. 
 
 A poem written by Jonathan Carpenter ; by taking the first letter of the first word in each line will 
 be the formation of his name : 
 
 " Judge now kind reader on these lines, 
 
 On them a moment set your mind ; 
 Not long since I took a notion 
 
 And went to sea to try the ocean ; 
 Thus was my mind to see possessions, 
 
 However, I think I saw some rash ones. 
 And I was taken without dispute, 
 
 Nor did it me a bit well suit. 
 Come, said they to Britain go, 
 
 And we will a halter show ; 
 Rogues and Pirates you shall buy it, 
 
 Poor souls say ye, ye dare not try it. 
 Even if you should try your fun, 
 
 Not less than ten would hang for one. 
 To prison then we all were carried, 
 
 Even there we for twelve months tarried ; 
 Rough as it was I stood the spray. 
 
 I from them now have got away. 
 Understand what here is meant, 
 
 Nor am I sorry that I went ; 
 If I at all you find to blame, 
 
 On these do look and read the same 
 'Rote in these lines you will find my name." 
 
 A POEM OF THE BRITISH COIMMAXDERS FOUND IX HIS DIARY. 
 
 " Gage, nothing did, and went to pot, 
 
 Howe, lost one town, another got, 
 Gay nothing lost and nothing won, 
 
 Dinsmore was homeward forced to run, 
 Clinton was beat and got a garter, 
 And bouncing Burgoyne catched a tarter, 
 
 This, all we got for millions spent 
 Is to be laughed at, and repent."

 Nov. I, 1779, arrived at Boston. 
 
 Nov. 3, I set out for Rehobotli, and got home the next night, having been gone from home two 
 
 years, wanting five weeks. 
 Dec. 6, I went to keeping school at D. Perrins for two months. 
 
 Dec. 27, " It was fine weather for the sleigh, 
 
 I took a notion in my head 
 To spend the money that I had— 
 
 I think the money is poor stuff, 
 I'll spend it now before it is worse. 
 
 If you would know more of the affair, 
 ^'ou may inquire, I don't care where." 
 Dec. 30, Thursday, the 30th, the weather not good, 
 
 We had a wedding in our neighborhood ; 
 Amasiah Peck was the man's name, 
 If ever you see him, you will know him again.

 March 3, I received /150, the prize money due me for the prizes taken by the Jiflin October last. 
 March 27, I set out in company with David Carpenter to travel to the northern country to seek 
 
 my fortune. 
 April 4, I went to Fits Williams to make sugar for D. Bishop. 
 " This ninth day of April I take pen and ink, 
 As strange as it is true 1 write wliat I think ; 
 
 Alone am I in Fitz William's woods, 
 
 Boiling of sap to make West India goods ; 
 
 Out of the same good rum can be made, 
 Then why can't we live without foreign trade ? 
 
 Objections by merchants ; their money won't double, 
 And tlie D 1 of it is, 'twon't pay us for trouble. 
 
 While boiling my sap I wrote down the lines, 
 But not as though they were wonders or signs ; 
 
 You may read it or sing it, just as you think best ; 
 If you will have any more you will write down the next. 
 
 After Jonathan and David had examined and inspected the soil and timber through a large por- 
 tions of the towns from Guilford to Royalton, \'t., they returned to Pomfret, Vt., and bought lOO 
 acres at the rate of 12 sh. per acre, having travelled about 416 miles in 21 days. 
 May 15, began to chop and made the first stump on the lot. 
 May 20, " On our wild farm we worked a week. 
 
 House built — a house that is strong and neat ; 
 And it will serve 'though it is low 
 
 For kitchen, liall and palace too — 
 We planted potatoes, corn and beans 
 Which some may take for foolish schemes." 
 
 July 10, we have chopped about eight acres on our own land in about six weeks successively 
 which has almost tired me of that fun ; no wonder neither. Also we had a training at Pomfret 
 and enlisted 25 men (minute men) who will start in one day's time in case of an invasion, which 
 is some expected of the Indians. 
 
 Aug. 10, this morning at 10 o'clock we were alarmed with the news that the Indians had come into 
 Barnard, and had taken three men and had plundered the houses, (they were composed of 20 
 Indians and Tories), and went off followed by somen from Barnard, but they could not overtake 
 them. 
 
 Aug. 15, I engaged to go into the service for the town of Pomfret for three months. 
 
 Aug. 17, they marched to Barnard — distance 12 miles. 
 
 Aug. 20, we went on a scout for two days, up White River as far as Rochester through Stock- 
 bridge (about 20 miles). Made no discoveries of the enemy. 
 'I Aug. 25, I went out on a scout for four days in company with 14 men of Barnard, in search of 
 some Tories that have been skulking about and have taken two men from Weathersfield, Vt. 
 
 We went up the South Branch of White River and over the heights of land to Pitsford fort on 
 Otter Creek, about 30 miles course West, and came home on the 28th. The prisoners were 
 taken with two Tories at Weathersfield. 
 
 Sept. 21, two men were taken from their work at Bethel by the enemy. I had a furlough of three 
 days to go to Pomfret, and came back on the 24th. 
 
 ■Sept. 25, I went on a scout up White River, on the West Branch, for three days; but nothing 
 remarkable. 
 
 ■Oct. i6, we were alarmed by inteUigence that the enemy were plundering and burning at Royalton, 
 and it was supposed that the woods were full of them. I went out in a scout round the north 
 part of Barnard about 10 miles, and in again, but discovered nothing. By this time some of the 
 inhabitants had come into the garrison, and a party went to meet the enemy (or at least to look 
 for them); at about 12 o'clock in the night-time I went out in a party of ii men, with Lieutenant 
 Green, with four day's provisions ; we marched by night to Bethel fort, from which upwards of 
 100 men had just gone under Captain Safford to Royalton. 
 
 Oct. 17, from thence we marched to Colonel Woodwards at Middlesex, (now Randolph) about 15 
 miles from Barnard fort and eight miles from Bethel fort. (It snowed almost all day.) There

 we were joined by ten men and set off towards the heights of land in hopes of coming across our 
 main body ; and coming to a house in JMiddlesex burning, which we judged had been fired by 
 the enemy about four hours. We took their trail and followed into Brookfield, and finding our 
 men didn't follow, we encamped that night, but the Middlesex men returned; but the next 
 morning, Oct. iS, we followed on about four miles further onto the heights of land, and finding 
 that we should not be joined by more men, and our party but fourteen, which we thought too 
 small a number to engage whom we thought to be three hundred, by the path they made, which 
 was very easy to follow in the night, ^\'e left the chase and returned that day to Colonel Wood- 
 ward's (back again). At Colonel Woodward's, we heard that the enemy had burned and 
 destroyed Royalton, and some houses in Sharon and .Aliddlesex, etc., and had taken off upwards 
 of 20 prisoners and killed seven : notwithstanding they were fired upon by the advance guard of 
 upwards of 400 men, which indeed put them to great confusion ; but they killed two prisoners 
 and fled, while the cowai'dly Colonel Hough was forming his men, hooting with a mock pretense 
 of having a field fight with the Indians in the bush, which gave them time to get off; they (the 
 Indians.) were commanded by Colonel Peters, a Tory. 
 
 Oct. 19, we returned home in peace — some moving off over Connecticut river and our savage 
 enemy gone with flying colors into Canada, which is a poor story for a '" whig " to tell. 
 
 Nov. 15, I Avas discharged from Fort Defiance at Barnard, and set off for Porafret. 
 
 Nov. 21, I, Jonathan, and David returned together to Rehoboth. 
 
 A poem : 
 
 " Long as to him who works for debts to pay, 
 Long as the night to her wliose lover is away, 
 
 Long as the year's dull circle seems to run, 
 When the brisk minor pants for twenty-one, 
 
 .So slow the unprofitable moments roll 
 Tliat took up all the functions of my soul 
 
 That keeps me from myself and still delay 
 Life's instant business to a future day ; 
 
 That talk which as we follow or despise, 
 The eldest is a fool ; the youngest, wise ; 
 "y Which done, the poorest can no wants endure, 
 ; \ M^b^iid which not done the richest must be poor." 
 
 June II, I set out with David^and Jacob to look at some land. 
 
 Sept. 10, 1781, Caleb Carpenter came to see me ; he got home from his captivity in June, 17S0. 
 
 Dec. 10, 17S1, in Rehoboth, the following lines were written ; — 
 
 " If in this book one chances to look 
 On what he does not comprehend. 
 
 Now laughing rude, he may intrude 
 -\nd yet not understand. 
 
 The wise that read can judge with speed 
 How vanity is light, 
 
 .-Vnd will with ease just as he please, 
 Nor take wrong in lieu of right. 
 
 Can any man do what he can 
 ."Vnd not come under blame. 
 
 Rightly to please all men he sees 
 Passing life's spacious plain ? 
 
 Each one in health should please himself, 
 Xot minding others' speech ; 
 
 Trusting to the truth of age and youth and 
 Evil deeds put out of reach." 
 
 " READ MY XAJIE EACH LINE WILL TEACH." 
 
 April I, 17S2, Rehoboth Election! All fools ! 
 
 In 1782, I bought a right of land in the town of Randolph, and gave my note for £37 to be paid in 
 
 neat stock, or New England rum delivered at P. P. Stafford's in said town next winter. I set 
 
 out for Rehoboth. 
 [1783, in September, dated at Randolph ; a short account of the settlement of Randolph. On the 
 
 i6th of October, 1780, there were 14 famihes in town, but when the Indians burned Royalton 
 
 they moved out, so that when Jonathan Carpenter moved into town there were only three fami-

 lies there. The families moved back in 1782; Jonathan Carpenter moved back into the town 
 between the years 1782 and 1785. (At least we find him there in 1785.) We also find Jacob Car- 
 penter there in 17S5 and David Carpenter in 1787, and Nathan Carpenter about the same time ; 
 also Simeon and Joshua Carpenter.] 
 
 Depreciation of the paper currency in 1777 of the United States as enacted by the General 
 Assembly of the state of Rhode Island, which was taken from the diary of Jonathan Carpenter. 
 
 From Jan, 1, 1777 to Jan. i, 17S1 it depreciated from $1.05 to $.50 for one dollar ($1) in scrip. 
 
 On the back cover of Jonathan Carpenter's diary we find the following : — 
 
 " ^\"hen I am dead and in mj' grave, 
 And all my bones are rotten ; 
 
 When this you see, remember me. 
 That I am not forgotten. 
 
 Jonathan Carpenter is my name, 
 Descent, from English nation ; 
 
 This earth is yet my dwelling place. 
 But Christ is my salvation."

 He and his wife Lucy were among the first members of the East Congregational church in 1808. 
 It is handed down in the family that Major Benjamin Hicks, who had served with distinction in 
 the Revolution, under Colonel Willet, at Fort Stanwick, (now Rome), against the Indians, in 
 the many bloody battles fought in that vicinity and to whom lot Nojj in the townof Loc_ke,(now 
 Groton)had fallen, employedone John Perrinduringtbe summerof 1797; he was formerly of Berk- 
 shire county, Mass.; during said time Hicks made arrangement with Perrin to move upon said lot 
 and commence clearing it off and cause it to be surveyed and offer such portions of it to actual 
 settlers as he should be able ; in October of that year, two teams with lumber wagon loaded 
 with provisions, household furniture and other necessaries were fitted out. — Perrin with his wife 
 and Ebenezer Williams, from Clarmont, N. H., going with the first load and Ezra Carpenter, 
 No. 1562, from Savoy, Mass., with the second team. After a long and tedious journey through 
 the wilds of that region, — and being directed for the last few miles by the blazed trees along the 
 line which had been blazed by the original surveyors, — some distance before reaching Lot No. 
 75, they found a tree turned up by the roots ; here they halted and built a sort of shelter from 
 the elements, which they occupied for nearly a month, while they constructed a permanent 
 building; before winter set in, Williams and Carpenter returned to Canajoharie and thence to 
 Massachusetts; they were among the first settlers of Groton.

 A copy of a letter written by John Carpenter, born 1751, to his brother Nathan Carpenter of 
 Barre, Vt., written on an old piece of paper, evidently torn from an old account book. (25 cts. 
 Postage.) : Dated April 2, 181 1. 
 
 " Loving Brother : — 
 
 I take this opportunity to write a line to you on a bit of waste paper, for I have no 
 other. We are all well but my wife ; she has been almost or quite sick this three or four weeks, 
 bvit she is on the gaining hand. I suppose you have heard of our father's death ; he has been 
 dead about a year, but I had no chance to send a letter to you and so I neglected it until now. 
 He gave Powell his interest to maintain them, but he lived but a few months after that. I 
 believe Powell did very well by him while he did live. I had to pay Barny's and the chief of 
 Powell's cost before I could get him out: it cost me one hundred and ten dollars ($110). I have 
 got a note for you that Barny left at Newgate : my orders were not to send it only by a safe 
 hand, but to bring it when I come, ' and I shall come when I bring it.' I had a letter from 
 Reuben this summer ; he said they were tolerably well, and he seems to like the country very 
 well. . . .1 hear that Daniel and his wife started to come 
 
 down and see us last winter, but they havn't got here yet; what's the reason, I don't know. 
 
 If you want the census of our family I can tell you. Our 
 children, are all married and gone from us. John has only gone up to the road. Azubah lives 
 at the South parish, Charles at Monson, Mass.. and Lovina at Greene, Mich. So I shall con- 
 clude by sending my love to all of our friends."

 Reminiscences of Jesse Carpenter No. 1618, father of Elijah Carpenter, No. 3445, furnished by 
 Mary J. (Carpenter) Dean, No. 7204, daughter of Daniel Carpenter, the grandson of Jesse : 
 
 " My great grandfather, Jesse Carpenter, father of Elijah was a real live Christian. 1 lived for 
 five years m the same family witli him ; but as he has been dead more than 40 years I have for- 
 gotten much. He was a stanch Baptist, an honest man, a good husband and father and a lover 
 of his country. His sayings were such as these; one evening as we were sitting by the fire he 
 said, ' so many years ago to-night I was in camp at Ticonderoga' ; he said that his grandfather, 
 or his great grandfather (I have forgotten which) had three hundred and si.xty-five dweUing 
 houses in the city of London, and on the top of his own house there was a fish pond. 
 
 It seems to me (Mary J. Carpenter) that great grandfather had a brother William who composed 
 a httle book of poetry, the title of which was ' Hasty Pudding.' I read it but I can only 
 remember a few words, a couplet which ran thus ; 
 
 ' The crooked spoon just fitted to the lip, 
 
 And taught with art the juilding mass to dip. 
 And in haste is made and in haste is eat.' 
 He was a strong Anti-Mason, and composed some poetry on that subject which was well received 
 i once asked him if he was in the batde of Bunker Hill, and I think he said that he was not, but 
 carried water to the soldiers at that time. He married Ruth Streeter. She was very decided 
 m everything. She came to Nelson to live when I was very small. He spent the last years of 
 his hfe making baskets, which furnished him with all he needed. He died about iS ^2 aged 90 
 years or more. At the age of 70 years, he married his second wife, Dorcas Cooper, with whom 
 he lived five or six years. He had powder blown into his face, which caused the children to say 
 his tace looked as though it was muddy. It was imbedded into the skin so that it could not be 
 got out, and it sometimes troubled him with an intolerable itching. Of his brothers and sisters 
 I know nothing." 
 (This letter was transcribed by Henry Martin Dean, Hingham, Mass., Jan. 2S, 18S3.) 
 1± the tradition m the above letter be correct in regard to the number of houses owned in England 
 It will show conclusively that we are in the hne of John Carpenter, town clerk of London, 
 (tliiough his brother John, his heir,) as he owned about that number of houses or more, and had 
 by tradition, a reservoir on top of his house.

 and he acted as surgeon's mate in the army.

 1732 with Joel of 1720; we believe in ^Alr. Hubbard as to accuracy in all of his Antiquarian 
 researches; but in this case we are obliged to take exceptions. It is very evident that this Joel 
 was the son of Dan Carpenter of Ashford, Conn., where some of his descendants have lived 
 to the present time. Uan was born in Swansea. Alass., Feb. 26, 1708. If his son Joel was born 
 in 1720, Dan would then have been only 12 years of age. If born in 1731 or 1732, he would 
 have been 24 years of age, which would appear very reasonable. 
 After his marriage, it appears that he returned to Woodstock or Ashford, Conn., where his family 
 were born. At the breaking out of the Revolutionary war he enlisted as surgeon, and probably 
 served through the war. On his return he settled in Ellington, Conn., where he practiced 
 medicine until his death, Jan. 25, 1789, aged 57 years. The marking of his gravestone was prob- 
 ably taken from the H ubbard record, which would make his age 69.

 1769 ; located first in the east parish and in a few years moved to the west 
 parish, where he settled. 
 
 Grace was a woman of great mental and physical energy and of more than common mental 
 powers, being well fitted for the trials with which she had to contend. She had a good common 
 school education, had charge of a school in her own house, and was frequently called upon to 
 write legal papers. When her son Theophilus was serving in the Continental army, at Cam- 
 bridge, after the battle of Lexington, she had to go into the woods to get firewood. Theophilus, 
 the fourth child of James and Grace, married Annie Johnson, Oct. 26, 17S8; she was born Oct. 
 27, 1766, and died in 1S51, in Putney; he died Jan. 10, 1856, aged 91 ; they had 10 children. He 
 held many important offices in town; he was high sheriff of the county for four years and a 
 member of the executive council for the same length of time ; he was a member of the Legis- 
 lature of A'ermont for two years and a member of the Constitutional convention in 1S22. 
 
 Grace's grandson David, the son of Theophilus, was given the commission of 2nd lieutenant in 
 the nth regiment U. S. A., raised in Vermont and New Hampshire, in the war of 1812. He 
 was promoted to be ist lieutenant and was stationed on the frontier of A'ermont and New York 
 in the winter of 1S13 and 1814. They halted in the woods at French Mills, N. Y., Feb. 12. 1S14; 
 from there they went to AA'atertown, N. Y., and thence to Buffalo, N. Y.. where the forces con- 
 centrated on April 14, with a view of the invasion of Canada across the Niagara river. In April, 
 1S14, he was raised to the office of adjutantin the nth regiment. The army crossed the Niagara 
 at Black Rock, on the night of July 2, and immediately invested Fort Erie, which surrendered 
 in the afternoon of July 3 ; on the 4th, General Brown took up hishne of march and encamped 
 at Chippewa; on the 5th, about 3 P. M., the enemy were seen approaching them ; thecontestwas 
 short, brilliant and decisive. The next battle was at Bridgewater; the battle was commenced 
 by General Scott. In this battle David was appointed brigadier major and was ordered by Gen- 
 eral Scott to reform the brigade, which was promptly done on the field of battle under the heavy 
 fire of artillery and musketry. Having distinguished himself at this battle and at several subse- 
 quent engagements with the enemy, the general reported him to the war department as having 
 shown great courage and ability. The secretary of war appointed him captain in the U. S. 
 army, his commission to date from the 17th of September, 1S14; he was the youngest captain in 
 the field and was retained as captain after the war was over; but he resigned and returned to 
 his home in A^ermont, 
 
 James Crawford, with his wife Grace, took up his abode in a log house in the west part of the 
 town, where he lived at the time of the massacre at AA'estminister ; he was present at the burial

 called at the house of James Crawford and called for something to drink. Mrs. Crawford 
 replied, " We have no drink for murderers."

 When he was about 16 years of age, he volunteered and joined the Continental army, and was one 
 of the guards at Major Andre's execution. At the close of the war he returned and soon after 
 married Azubah Allen, daughter of Daniel Allen. About 1790 he removed to Landgrove. Vt., 
 where he resided for 18 years. His first child was born in this town Aug. 26, 17S7, and this is 
 the first birth on the town record. He was a poor boy bound out to service at an early age, but 
 as he became older he was dissatisfied with his usage and determined to leave : he stole his 
 indentures from his master's desk and hid them under a stone on the premises. Afterhe became 
 of age he returned and found them all safe. He never had the advantages of a common school 
 education, but he learned to read and to keep his accounts, and became a self educated man. 
 He represented the town in the Vermont Legislature in 1800 and in 1802. He held the office of 
 justice of the peace and other important town offices. He removed to Keene, N. H., in 1807, 
 where he died in 1S45. He accumulated a handsome property, to the reported amount of $40,000.

 Isaiah Carpenter and James Breckinridge were accused of riotinp; by the New Yorkers who claimed 
 that they had taken land under the New Hampshire grant, within the limits of New York ter- 
 ritory ; and further, that they had taken up arms to fight for the land as a part of Bennington, 
 This accusation was not true; they were witliin the limits of Bennington. It arose from the 
 fact that they were loyal to the proposed government of Vermont, It was about the year 1777, 
 
 Isaiali Carpenter was one of the first settlers of Salisbury, under the New Hampslure grant; he 
 was a conspicuous character in the difficulties between the "Green Mountain Boys" and the 
 "Yorkers." Mr, Carpenter was a near neighbor of Judge Olin, The "Yorkers" drove Car- 
 penter from his cabin on a few acres of clearing, and put one of their grantees in possession. 
 One day as the " Yorker " was chopping a tree, there was a report, and a ball whistled by his 
 head; he, supposing that it was some hunter, kept on chopping; in a few moments there was 
 another report, and a second bullet struck the tree a few inches above his head. He left for 
 parts unknown, immediately, and Carpenter had full possession. A short time after this, Judge 
 OUn shot a steer which he was killing for family use; Carpenter, hearing the report, took his 
 musket and came running down to Judge Olin's inquiring " Where are the 'Yorkers.' "

 He went out privateering, and was taken by the English at the time of the Revolutionary war and 
 carried to the island of Antego ; he was taken sick and put into the hospital on that island, from 
 which he undertook to make his escape by fleeing to a cornfield or sugar cane-field, with one of 
 his companions ; they both determined not to be taken ahve. They were closely pursued by the 
 negroes and finally taken. It was supposed, from the screams which were heard that his com- 
 panion was horribly murdered ; Thomas was taken and sent to England. He first went out with 
 Captain Babcock, privateering, and took 2S prizes ; he was then taken to Antego, and from this 
 island he was shipped aboard an English vessel which was taken by the Americans. He still 
 continued his business on the water for the Americans, and was taken by the English and carried 
 to England, where he was imprisoned. He there set up a military school, and also kept a grog 
 shop, including the business of a barber. He said that he had often taken in a guinea before 
 breakfast. He was in prison for more than a year, and at the end of the war was sent with the 
 rest of the prisoners to Boston. After moving to Providence, R. I., he went aboard a schooner 
 boimd for North Carolina ; he went as captain, the former captain being sick, but has never 
 been heard from since. It is supposed that he was thrown overboard by the crew; as they 
 were in company with another schooner, lights were kept on deck during the night ; on this 
 vessel, they were all suddenly exringuished and the vessel has never been seen since.

 He resided, previous to marriage, in Guilford, ^'t., during the time of the trouble with the New 
 York land grants. He petitioned the governor and council of Yermont to have his fines abated, 
 about 1784; he and others, were fined by the court of \'ermont for opposing the government of 
 \'ermont, claiming to be under the jurisdiction of New York. In 1784 the state's attornej^ was 
 directed to suspend the collection of said fine; it was remitted by the governor and council the 
 same year, which accounts for the following : " A grant was given by the government of New 
 York to Asaph Carpenter, including lot No. 6g, of 350 acres, in 1786 ; the township not named."

 Halifax, \V. Benjamin Carpenter of Guilford, in the county of Windham, \\., for the love and 
 affection he bears for his grandchildren, Abigail Chase, and her daughters Eunice and Nabby 
 Chase, deeds land in Halifax, in 1802 ; later, in the same deed, he calls them " my children."

 He was one of the first settlers of Brattleboro. My parents reside on the old homestead. We 
 are now living in a house built by Cyril Carpenter, son of Edward who was a brother of Col.

 A LONG LIFE OF LABOR. 
 
 " Died — In Woodbury, N. J., July 21, 1891, John Carpenter, aged 85 years, seven months and eight 
 days. 
 
 He took to the printing office while yet a boy, and secured an apprenticeship in the office of the 
 Herkimer Herald. He became its acting editor while yet a young apprentice, and at the age of 
 ig, differing with the owner of the paper as to the Presidential candidates, he bought the balance 
 of his apprenticeship and the paper with it, and transferred its support from Adams to Jackson. 
 The people of Herkimer County, in the election of 1824, sustained the course of the new editor. 
 
 In 1S26 Mr. Carpenter was induced to remove to Oswego, then a promising lakeport settlement on 
 the northern frontier, and help establish the Oswego Palladium, which is yet a prosperous and 
 influential paper with daily and weekly editions, and one of the oldest Democratic papers in 
 New York State. Most of his long life was spent in Oswego, which he saw grow from a little 
 village about the frontier forts to become a city of considerable commercial importance to the 
 country. 
 
 After about twenty years' close labor on the Palladium, during which it did good service for his 
 party — being the paper which in the 1840 campaign got from General Harrison and published 
 the famous letter in which he confessed that he had a political committee of three to keep his pol- 
 itical conscience and tell what his opinions were on public issues — Mr. Carpenter sold the print- 
 ing office in order to accept the clerkship of the County to which he had been elected ; but he af- 
 terward for many years contributed to the political columns of the paper. 
 
 Deceased was through all his hfe a very strict adherent to the old party of Jefferson. His first 
 vote for president was for Andrew Jackson, his last for Grover Cleveland, and in his old age he 
 expressed himself glad to know that for more than a half a century he had never failed to dis- 
 charge his duty as a citizen in voting both in the spring and fall elections every time. When he 
 removed to New Jersey, a few years ago — warned by a second attack of pneumonia that he could 
 not longer stand the Lake Ontario winters — he so timed his removal as to cast his vote in New 
 York state and become a resident of New Jersey the same day ; so that in all his more than three 
 score years as a voter he never missed a single general election. In 1876, when he had voted 
 for the one hundredth time (spring and fall), he was elected by acclamation to represent the 
 Oswego district in the Democratic state convention of New York, with a very complimentary 
 resolution by the county convention. 
 
 Political duties are public duties, and, where the close of a long hfe affords such an instance of 
 fidehty to honestly held political convictions, it seems proper to publicly mention it. Deceased 
 was as unselfish as he was devoted to the party of his preference. When he did not like its candi- 
 dates, he supported them for their cause ; when his own views failed to prevail, he promptly ac- 
 cepted those of the majority as declared through the regular council of the party ; in no other 
 way, he believed, could the party and its standard be sustained and its policy carried to triumph 
 for the good and glory of the country. 
 
 The deceased was just as warm and strong in his private friendships ; but where they clashed with 
 the cause of his party he never hesitated in his course. He had been a staunch friend and ad- 
 herent of President Van Buren, but when, in 1848 General Cass became the candidate of the 
 party, and " Little Van" then started his personal party, Mr. Carpenter stood almost alone in his 
 section, at first, in support of the regular ticket of the national convention. In fact, Mr. Nathan 
 Robbins (who was then collector of the port of Oswego) was the only other official at the time 
 in that democratic county who stood by I\Ir. Carpenter in supporting the regular electoral ticket. 
 Oswego was never a democratic county after the Van Buren bolt ; but deceased was several times 
 elected a member of its board of supervisors, and took a prominent and honorable part in the 
 county management. Between 1852 and 1856 he was a member of the National Democratic com- 
 mittee of New York state. 
 
 The deceased was as devoted to domestic duties and to his private affairs as to his duties as a citi- 
 zen. He won warm and universal esteem as a neighbor and reciprocated love of all his large 
 family. He was unselfishly and untiringly active as long as his eye and hand had strength to 
 labor. Only a few weeks before his death he was every day helping effectually in the office of 
 the Gloucester Comity Democrat (the paper of his son, James), and when one morning he had 
 to return to bed, never to rise again in life, it was truly a bed of rest for him— a rest which was 
 most welcome to his well-worn body and mind, and a rest which had been richly earned. He 
 went as a child to its slumber."

 210J. II. Benjamin was b. De.c. i, 1806 in Manlius, N. Y.; m. Abigail Hayes, of (671) 
 
 Hartford, Trumbull county, Ohio, Sept. 20, 1832, daughter of Col. 
 
 Richard Hayes who earned his title in the war of 18 12, in which he took a 
 
 conspicuous part; she d. Nov. 15, 1873; m. 2A, Airs. Maria Hayes J]7zitU- 
 
 more Feb. 4, 1875 > ^^ ^- April 9, 1881, in Chicago. 
 
 Benjamin's early boyhood days were passed in his native county and when 14 yeai'S old he went 
 to Hartford, Trumbull county, Ohio, where he enjoyed the benefit of academic education. He 
 later entered the store of Col. Richard Hayes and for several years followed a mercantile busi- 
 ness. From an early age he had cherished an ambition to become a lawyer and diligently 
 pursued the study of the law in every leisure hour. In 1837, he removed to Conneaut, Ashta- 
 bula county, Ohio, and entered the law office of Judge S. F. Taylor, being shortly thereafter 
 admitted to the bar. When Judge Taylor moved away a year later Mr. Carpenter succeeded to 
 his business, and continued successfully for nine years in the active practice of his profession. 
 He formed a partnership with Zaphna Lake, under the style of Lake & Carpenter, which proved 
 a strong and successful combination. They operated a general store at Conneaut and carried 
 on a large trade with owners and captains of lake craft. They also built several large vessels 
 and in 1847 launched what was then the largest craft on the great lakes, — the brig " Banner " — 
 and were ridiculed by their neighbors for what was considered a venturesome enterprise. In 
 •1850 Mr. Carpenter became a resident of the thriving young city of Chicago, which was thence- 
 forth his home. He then went into the packing business for several years. In 1857 he was 
 elected a member of the city council from the then ninth ward, and from that day devoted most 
 of his attention to public interests. He was the first president of the board of public works. 
 He was an upright man and did not hesitate to e.xpress himself clearly and forcibly, and to act 
 upon his convictions in both public and private life. There was probably not a schoolhouse in 
 Ashtabula county, Ohio, in which his voice was not heard in denunciation of slavery during the 
 exciting time of his early manhood ; no fugitive slave was ever returned south from his county ; 
 and he was equally active in sustaining the cause of temperance. He was one of the founders 
 of Plymouth Congregational church, and also of the New England Congregational church at 
 Chicago.

 PETER CARPENTER'' 962,0! Joseph 322, 
 
 John 17, Hope 25, Hezekiah S4, Joseph 322. 
 
 Gen. 9. Children 3, b. in Carpenter's Hill, Ky. 
 223S. I. Joseph was b. Aug. 4, 1823; m. AIa?y Stegall, 1849; she d. in 1851 ; m. 2d, 
 
 Pauline Burns, Yo. 1853: he d. Sept. 27, 1866, of cholera and was buried at 
 Shelbyville, Tenn. 
 
 2239. II. Samuel was b. Nov, 2, 1827; m. Sarah E. Montgomery, March 14, (688) 
 
 1855, daughter of Thomas and Mary Fleming Montgomery. Resi- 
 dence, Bloomfield, la. and Oswego, Kans. 
 
 Sarah E. Montgomery's father was a large land and slave owner of Bedford county, Tenn., and 
 traces his ancestry to the Montgomerys of Revolutionary time and to county Antrim in Ireland. 
 Samuel Carpenter embarked in the mercantile business in 1855 at l^almetto, Tenn,, with his 
 brother-in-law Robert S. Montgomery and was very successful. During the civil war he and- 
 the Montgomerys were loyal to the Union, Samuel being a rank abolitionist, absolutely refusing 
 to own slaves or traffic in them. His store was destroyed by the rebels in 1S62 and he was 
 taken prisoner by Morgan's guerrillas and barely escaped with his life; after which he hastily 
 collected what property he could and through the influence of his brother John, a confederate 
 officer, he was allowed to pass the rebel lines, and with his family and father started north. He 
 located at Bloomfield, Iowa and again embarked in the mercantile business and was remarkably 
 successful. Owing to the rigorous climate of Iowa, his father died there and also his father-in- 
 law, Thomas Montgomery, who also had to leave the south. Thus these two old patriots sleep 
 their last sleep side by side, because of tlieir loyalty to their country and flag. In 1865 Samuel 
 returned to Tennessee, where he resided imtil 1S74, when he with his family moved to Kansas 
 and located at Oswego, in Labette county, erecting the first business block in that town and he 
 still resides there though retired from business. He is an elder in the Presbyterian church and 
 has been a member of the same from his youth. 
 
 2240. III. John was b. Nov. 29, 1832 ; m. Elizabeth Cochrane, Nov. 16, 1866; her (689) 
 
 family came from North Carolina ; she d. Feb. 12, 1883, and is buried 
 at Oswego, Kans. 
 
 John began life as a clerk in a country store and later went into the mercantile business on his 
 own account. He joined the confederate army in 1861 ; enlisted in company D, fourth Tennessee 
 cavalry, Starn's regiment, Dibrell's l)rigade. Their range was chiefly in Tennessee, Kentucky 
 and West Virgmia. He fought in the batdes of Thomas' Station, Chickamauga, Knoxville, 
 Dalton, Resaca, Keneshaw Mountain, Ringgold and London, Tenn.; Clinch and Big Hill Gap, 
 East Tenn.; Adanta, Columbia, S. C , Raleigh and Baltville, Va.; Barbotu-sville, Bacon Creek, 
 K fj^''^'i'^"^'^™°"'^' ^'■=^"l<:foi't. Munfordville and Perryville, Ky.; Jackson, West Tenn.: Hum- 
 boldt and Wartrace, Tenn. He was with Forrest when he captured Straight's command at 
 Sand Mountaui, north of Louisville. His last battle was at Greensborough, N. C. Here he was 
 detaded as escort to Jefferson Davis who was making his way to Mexico. He surrendered to 
 Shermans men, Rlay 9, 1S65 and Davis was captured the next day. Since the war, Davis in 
 writing to a nephew of John said : " Give my regards to your gallant uncle." Company D. 
 tourth Tennessee cavalry, was formed with 96 men, all of whom were killed in batde except five, 
 John liad four horses kdled under him during his service. After the war he returned to Far- 
 mmgton, Tenn., ragged and penniless, but later accumulated sufficient means to again embark 
 in the mercantile business. He came to Kansas in 1878 and joined his brother Samuel at 
 Uswego, Kans. He now resides there but has retired from active business.

 "Hon. Jacob B. Carpenter was found dead in bed at his home at Little Rest, in the town of Wash- 
 ington, early Monday morning", Apr. 9, 1S94. His death was caused by heart trouble, from which 
 he had suffered for years. His death was entirely une.xpected, and will be sincerely regretted. 
 He was born in the town of Stanford, July 16, 1S26, the son of Morgan and Maria Bockee Car- 
 penter. He was born on the farm where his father and grandfather had lived before him. He 
 came of a family quite prominently identified with the social, commercial and political history of 
 Dutchess Co. His father was lay judge in Dutchess years ago, and his home was in Poughkeep- 
 sie until 187 1 when he died. His mother was a woman of refinement and culture. She died in 
 1870. Jacob was the oldest of sons, the others being B. Platt and Isaac. 
 
 He was sent to school at Stanford, and afterwards graduated at Union College in 1845. He return- 
 ed to Stanford and for eighteen years followed farm hfe. He loved the country and always 
 maintained a home out side the city. He took an active part in public affairs. His first^ pubhc 
 position was that of supervisor from the town of Stanford, to which office he was elected in 1S55. 
 The following year was elected member of the assembly from tliis district. In i860 he was one 
 of the presidential electors, and cast his vote for Abraham Lincoln. In 1S64 Mr. Carpenter left 
 his farm and ma.de his home in Poughkeepsie, and during the years from 1S66 to 186S he engaged

 in financial enterprises in the territory of Colorado; he crossed the plains a dozen times in two 
 years. In 1S70 he was again elected supervisor and in 1S72 he was elected a member of the 
 assembly for the second time. In 1875 he was elected mayor of the city of Poughkeepsie, on 
 the democratic ticket ; this was his last public ofBce, and he filled it as he had filled all the others 
 he had held — with ability and integrity. Mr. Carpenter was receiver for the old Poughkeepsie 
 and Ea.i^tern railroad, and at one time he was a member of the board of managers of the Hud- 
 son river state hospital. In January, i860, .Mr. Carpenter was married to Miss Sarah Thorne, 
 daughter of the late Stephen Thorne of Poughkeepsie. Two daughters blessed the union, Min- 
 nie T. and May. 
 Mr. Carpenter was a man of strong character, and his hkes and dislikes were extreme. In politics 
 he identified himself with both the great parties at different times. In 1SS4 he supported Mr. 
 Cleveland and took an active part in the campaign with the democrats. In 1SS8 he opposed the 
 election of Mr. Cleveland, and made speeches against the democracy, and in favor of Mr. 
 Harrison. In late years he took no active part in politics. He lived quietly at home where he 
 died."

 the office late in i860. From 1865 to 1S69 he was internal revenue assessor for the' twelfth district 
 of New York; and in 1867 he was sent to the state constitutional convention, from the eleventh 
 senatorial district. In 1872 he was the temporary chairman of the republican state convention. 
 He was elected to the state senate in 1S75 from the eleventh district by a majority of 3,610, over

 Extract from a letter from Rev. John .AI. Carpenter: 
 
 \'ixcEXT0wx, N. J., Feb. 25, 1S46. 
 
 iMr. A. B. Carpenter ;— 
 
 Dear Sir:—V,\ due course of mail I received j'our letter of the i6th inst. and 
 avail myself of this early opportunity to return you an answer. Tracing out the ancestry of my 
 family and of the Carpenter name is a subject which has occupied less or more of my thoughts 
 for a number of years, but hitherto I have not undertaken its accomplishment. My neglect has 
 not been altogether for want of interest in the subject but mostly for want of being able fully 
 to gain a starting point. I am highly gratified that you have undertaken to find out, if possible 
 the connecting hnks in the genealogical line of the great number bearing our name, so as to 
 enable you to trace their descent back to one common family origin, forming, though exceeding 
 distant, a relation between us. It is equally gratifying that you have called my attention to the 
 matter and solicited my co-operation in the task you have attempted. Be assured I shall take 
 pleasure in rendering you all the assistance in my power. In order to enter thoroughly upon 
 this work, you will grant me the indulgence of a little time that I may make some little investi- 
 gation beyond what I have ever yet done." 
 
 The compiler had the pleasure of meeting him at his house in 1S46 on his way to Philadelphia and 
 found him much interested in a genealogy and expected much from him by way of assistance, 
 which was cut short by his death a year or two later. No information of the family has since 
 been received, even the date of his death, or from any one of his 15 brothers and sisters except 
 what was procured at that time; also failed in the efforts to procure a biographical sketch.

 wallis; was most loyal until his death, telling with great earnestness reminiscences of the war; 
 although a pious man and never profane he invariably spoke of thetories as " Damned Tories," 
 so that one of his grandchildren supposed that " Damnedtories " was one word. The following 
 obituary notice is copied from an old newspaper. 
 
 " Died in Strafford, Feb. 16, 1851, Mr. Elias Carpenter one of the few surviving Revolutionary 
 soldiers, aged 90. Mr. Carpenter enlisted in the service of his country under Washington, when 
 17 years old, and was at the evacuation of New York and the taking of Lord Cornwallis which

 church."

 William Carpenter, was in the service under his father's command, eight months during- the siege 
 of^ Boston, and later for three full years he served in Captain Toogood's company, Col. John 
 Nixon's regiment; as appears from his discharge now in possession of his son WiUiam, which is 
 as follows : 
 
 This certificate agrees exactly with the public records in the office of the Massachusetts secretary 
 of state, where, also, is found the evidence of his other tour of service. He served also in the 
 year 1776— though, as mentioned, in the case of his father, there is no official record of the ser- 
 vice. 
 
 X)uring the foregoing certified term of service, he was under Colonel Nixon, who helda brio-adier's 
 comniission, and was in the battle of Stillwater or Bemis's Heights, and the battle of Saratoga. 
 During this term of .three years, he acted in a two-fold relation— doing duty as a private soldier' 
 and when not on duty, acting as clerk of the regiment. ' 
 
 Haying devoted nearly five years of the ardor of youth, and the vigor of manhood, to the service 
 of his country, he retired to the quiet of his own home, having been paid off, at his discharo-e 
 in continental money, utterly worthless for any business transaction, and valuable to his descen-

 dants only as evidence of the patriotic service and sacrifices of their ancestor. Tliis continen- 
 tal nione)', to the amount of one hundred dollars, (the rest having been distributed among friends 
 of the family,) is now in possession of his son William. Let us not speak lightly of this curren- 
 cy, for though coarse the paper, and coarser yet the engraving, and though emphatically a "hard 
 currency" for those who were obliged to receive it as cash, it filled a place and sustained a part 
 in the Temple of Independence. 
 
 William Carpenter, the subject of this sketch, having completed his term of three years, besides 
 the other periods mentioned in the aggregate about five years — he rerurned to Brimfield, Mass., 
 his native town, poorer than when he entered the service, except in the satisfying assurance of 
 having stood for his country's freedom in the years of her darkness and peril. 
 
 In 1790 he removed to Kirkland, (then a part of Whiteston, and later Paris,) N. Y., to subdue a 
 forest farm as his future home — and here by his talents and practical education, he made him- 
 self generally useful to his own and the surrounding neighborhoods, in facihtating the transac- 
 tion of business, and adjusting differences among neighbors and friends, till the 5th day of April, 
 1816, when his spirit passed away. (By R. V. Carpenter, Chicago 111.) 
 
 2386. II. Abial vifas b. June 20, 1759; m. iMary Sherman who d. April 5, 1837; (723) 
 
 he d. Oct. 30, 1840. He moved to Adams, N. Y., thence to Kirkland, 
 
 Ohio, and afterwards probably to Clinton, Oneida Co., N. Y. Though young, 
 
 he was in the Revolutionary war in 1776. 
 
 Abial Carpenter, the younger son of John and Mercy, early caught the glow of patriotism. On 
 hearing that a British force was about to march from Boston to sieze the public stores at Con- 
 cord, Mass., about sixty miles from his home ; though only sixteen years of age, and from an 
 early lameness not liable for military service, he hastened with others to meet the common foe. 
 While on the way, having learned that the battle at Lexington had been fought, and that the 
 British had retreated to Boston, he retraced his steps to Brimfield. 
 
 In 1776 he was in the army; though as mentioned in connection with his father's service, there is 
 no official record of the 13,000 of Massachusetts soldiers who served that year. 1777 he served 
 as a private in the same company — Captain Sibley's, in which his father was lieutenant. In 
 1778 he was attached to his father's company. Colonel Wood's regiment, stationed on the Hud- 
 son. In 1779, 1780, and 1781, he was under his father as commander of the guards, at Springfield 
 — and after an aggregated time of service of four to five years, he too, at his discharge, was paid 
 in the then worthless continental currency, (yet preserved as an honorable heirloom in his fami- 
 ly,) and returned to his home in Brimfield. 
 
 In 1792 he rejoined his father and brother in Kirkland, then (Paris,) N. Y., and later removed to 
 Adams, Jefferson Co., N. Y., where in 1S40, at the mature age of more than 80 years, he went to 
 his rest — he, only, of all his father's family, having for a few years enjoyed a pension from the 
 country he had served so well. 
 
 Such as is here given, by one in no wise related, except by the common ties of manly virtue, is an 
 outline of the public services of two generations of the Carpenter family, at an eventful period 
 of our country's history. Rarely, indeed, can the annals of patriotism present an equal record, 
 of a father subjecting himself and consenting that his two sons and only children should be sub- 
 jected to all the hardships and perils of a doubtful war; and returning when the contest was tri- 
 umphantly closed, poor in worldly wealth, but rich in the inheritance of liberty and peace, which 
 had been secured for a continent. 
 
 May their descendants and fellow citizens learn patriotism from so high an example — and should 
 clouds and darkness and storms again surround us, and threaten, from any point, the fair heri- 
 tage they have left us, may we look upon the record, and go and do likewise. (By R. V. Car- 
 penter, Chicago 111.) 
 
 Abial Carpenter, of Brimfield, Mass., private, enlisted in Capt. James Sherman's company, in the 
 Lexington alarm and served two days ; he also served in Captain Sibley's company. Colonel Keyes' 
 regiment, July 16, 1777, in the Rhode Island alarm, five months and 15 days; he enhsted again 
 in Capt. John Carpenter's company, Col. Ezra Wood's regiment, June 2, 1778; served eight 
 months on the North river, N. Y. ; enlisted again the fourth time in John Carpenter's company, 
 March 7, 1779, served two years, four months and 20 days, at Springfield, Mass. [He is trans- 
 cribed from the record an Abial but the correct name is probably Abiah. Both refer to the 
 same person.]

 1817 at the corner of Austin St. and what is now Rutherford Ave., Charlestown. He was the tenth 
 of II children.

 nental arm)', among them being his grandfather. Major Heath. His father was of the firm of 
 Barnabas, Edwards & Co., stoneware dealers on Austin Street. 
 
 .Mr. Carpenter was a graduate of the old training field school. When 13 years of age, he conv 
 menced his apprenticeship in the carriage trimming and harness business, served his time, and 
 became an expert workman.

 At the age of 18 he entered the employ of a periodical dealer, and two years later, he established 
 a book-store of his own. A few years later he commenced jobbing in fancy goods and druggists' 
 sundries, which business he followed, with more or less activity, until quite recently. He intro- 
 duced the harmonica into the New England States from Germany, in 1846. He was an expert 
 player, and used to accompany himself with the guitar. He was much in demand at church 
 concerts. 
 
 In 1847 he formed a partnership with George W. Lyon, a wealthy Chicagoan, who died last Jan- 
 uary, and for several years they travelled through New England, giving entertainments. He 
 was a veteran fireman, having been a member of the volunteer department for upwards of fifty 
 years, running with Warren engine company 4, from 1857 until 1S71. In 1838 he joined the 
 Charlestown light infantry and remained with it for several years. In 1873 ^le was an overseer of 
 the poor and was regarded as one of the best who ever served in Charlestown. Since that time 
 he has regularly visited the almshouse and provided the inmates with an entertaiment. He 
 regarded bestowing Christmas presents on the inmates each year a pleasant duty. 
 
 He was a member of the training school association and of the first Baptist church of Charlestown. 
 He was a life-long Democrat.

 1833. A physician. She m. 2d, Rev. John Allen. 
 
 She is now living with her daughter at East Providence Center, R. I., and will be 96 years of age, 
 Oct. 5, 1894. She retahis her faculty and memory to a remarkable degree; she remembers the 
 compiler when he was in Mass. fifty years ago, and many little incidents of that time. Her memory 
 permits her to repeat what was told her when young aljout the family for two or three genera- 
 tions, and as far as researches go, they prove her statements to be correct. She says her father, 
 Caleb Carpenter served in the Revolutionary war, and was the Caleb who was taken prisoner 
 at the time Jonathan Carpenter was taken, and was held a prisoner in England for nearly a 
 year after Jonathan was released. She thinks he and some others broke out of prison, and 
 escaped to this country. After reacliing Rehoboth, he went up to Vermont to his comrade Jona- 
 than Carpenter, and returned and settled in Rehoboth. At that time there were several by the 
 name of Caleb Carpenter in Rehoboth; they were distinguished from each other by nick-names. 
 Mrs. Allen's grandfather was called "Long Caleb," as he was taller than any of the rest by that 
 name. Her father was called "Short Caleb." He was a tall man, but a little shorter than his 
 father. One went by the name of " Skunk Hill Caleb." He was sometimes called "the Laugh- 
 ing Caleb." Another was called " Caleb, the weaver." Another was called "Hollow-bellied 
 Caleb." He was tall and slim and bent forward. One of them went out a mile or two from the 
 main settlement towards Providence and commenced to farm there. It was then considered 
 about as far as it is now to Chicago ; as they termed it by saying "he had gone to the Devil's 
 Peak." Soon another settled a little beyond him, and he had gone "a Peak beyond." 
 
 The Rev. John Allen, the second husband of Anne Carpenter, was born in Mansfield, Mass., 
 March 27, 1792, and they were married in April, 1856. His education was hmited and was con- 
 fined to the pubhc schools and Wrentham academy. He taught school for several years com- 
 mencing at the age of 17. After 38 years of ministerial service he retired at the age of 70, on 
 account of feeble health, to the quiet village of East Providence Center. As a preacher he was 
 pungent, plain and instructive. In a word he was a good man and from his early j^outh was 
 opposed to slavery and intemperance.

 The Hon. Francis Carpenter was the son of Comfort A. Carpenter, but not by his wife, Widow 
 Elizabeth Smith. His father educated him and made him a legal heir by an Act of the Legis- 
 lature, and he became a very prominent man in the state of Rhode Island. 
 
 Extracts taken from Reminiscences of the Rhode Island Bar written by Abraham Payne, Esq.; 
 
 " On the 14th day of September, 1S40. I entered the office of Gen. Thomas F. Carpenter as a stu- 
 dent at law. I swept the office and made the fires and did all the errands now usually expected 
 
 No. 2659I; Family 407.

 of an office boy. On entering the office, he came in and laying down his green satchel upon the 
 table, greeted me with much dignity and courtesy, asking me to be seated. He commenced the 
 conversation by explaining to me that a lawyer should make himself familiar with the Bible, 
 and taking the book, he read some passages'in confirmation of his advice. He said that it was 
 his daily habit to read a chapter in the original Greek in his house every morning. He then 
 proceeded to impress upon me the importance of treating everything that should pass in the 
 office as strictly confidential, remarking that in his safe there were wills and conveyances, which, 
 if known, would startle the community. He was of middle height and had a very large head. 
 In his intercourse with clients, his students and brethren of the bar, he was always courteous, 
 and when appearing before the courts he was a model of dignity and deference to the tribunal. 
 
 While I was in his office, he rarely looked into a law book and yet he was in one sense the best 
 lawyer that I have ever known. In his early life he must have been a careful student of the 
 common law. He attained a competent acquaintance with equity jurisprudence the practice of 
 which was then recent in the court of Rhode Island. He never gave any bad advice. No per- 
 son got into aioolish lawsuit who consulted General Carpenter. It was his custom to say to a 
 client. who was anxious to get his grievances into court, ' No doubt but that you have a perfectly 
 good case, but there are some technical difficulties in your way, and I think it is for your interest 
 to make a settlement.' In this way he seldom lost a cause for which he appeared in court, and 
 the reputation of success largely increased the number of his clients. 
 
 General Carpenter was a Democrat, and was several times a candidate for governor and member 
 of Congress. The Whigs being at the time the strongest party he was consequently defeated, 
 but not on the ground of honesty and ability to fill the offices acceptably. 
 
 His charges were always moderate, and to persons unable to pay even those charges, his services 
 were frequently and cheerfully rendered. When he came to an argument, his manner of speak- 
 ing was formal and precise. He indulged in neither wit nor humor and never made anv e.xhi- 
 bition of rhetoric ; but he knew v/hat to say to a Rhode Island jury and a Rhode Island 'court. 
 He stood well as a common law-yer and excelled in criminal cases." 
 
 Mr. Carpenter always spoke in the highest terms of the Carpenter family ; he was much interested 
 m the genealogical history and rendered assistance. and encouragement to the compiler.

 The following is an obituary of his death, dated, Oct. 22, i8gi ; 
 
 A LONG LIFE ENDED. 
 
 Ansel Carpenter died at his home last night. He leaves a grand and noble character and not a 
 single enemy. 
 
 Ansel Carpenter, city sergeant, (Pawtucket) died at his home on North Main street at 1-40 o'clock 
 last night. Death was apparently hovering over him all day yesterday, but he passed away as 
 quietly as a child going to sleep. He was 91 years of age last Saturday. Eight weeks ago he 
 was knocked down at the depot by a hand truck in the hands of a railroad employe, and frac- 
 tured his right shoulder. Five weeks later, in going into his house he made a misstep and fell 
 in the hallway. He was of a robust constitution and healthy, and but for the accident, which 
 was the ultimate cause of his death, had apparently a number of years of life before him. 
 
 On Saturday last, he received company in recognition of his 91st birthday; a large number of 
 friends called upon him, and congratulated him on the event. He was presented with a large 
 number of photographs and floral tributes of love and affection from absent ones and from his 
 Universalist associates. 
 
 Mr. Carpenter was born 91 years ago in the old homestead on the east bank of the Blackstone 
 river, at the location known as " The Old Print Works." It is near the point where the bounda- 
 ries of Pawtucket, Lincoln, Cumberland and Attleboro converge, and where '■ Carpenter's 
 Brook " loses itself in the Blackstone. The locality adjoins the railroad on the north side, which 
 crosses the " Tin Bridge " so-called. The house is still standing, and in a good state of preser- 
 vation. It was built by Mr. Carpenter's great grandfather, Dan Carpenter, about the' year 1736, 
 and was successively occupied by Mr. Carpenter's grandfather, Ezekiel Carpenter, his father, 
 Dan Carpenter and himself. It is still a comfortable dwelling, and the property continued to 
 remain in the possession of the deceased. Mr. Ansel Carpenter was the son of Dan and Dolly 
 Carpenter. He well remembered when the Boston turnpike, now Broadway, and \'alley Falls 
 turnpike, now Broad street, were cut through the dense forests, and he had a vivid recollection 
 of the great flood of February, 1807, when a large number of buildings were swept away. 
 
 The building known as the Home Print Works, which was destroyed by the explosion of a steam 
 boiler in ;\Iarch, 1848, causing the loss of several lives was then owned by Mr. Carpenter and 
 Nathaniel C. Dana, who were partners in the business. The works were not rebuilt by the firm. 
 
 About 40 years ago Mr. Carpenter took up his residence in Pawtucket. He had been town ser- 
 geant of the towns of North Providence and Pawtucket, and city sergeant of the city of Paw- 
 tucket continuously from 1855, with the exception of two years. He was also deputy sheriff of 
 Providence county from 1855 up to about four years ago. His father, Dan Carpenter lived to 
 be 95 years old. His father's sister lived to be 103 years old. Mr. Carpenter's wife was Deborah 
 Patt of Cumberland. She died about 21 years ago. He left eight grandchildren, nine great- 
 grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild.

 of the Cotton Centenary celebration, with an upright carriage and firm step. He has left 
 behind a grand and noble character and no enemies."

REHOBOTH FAMILY. 323 
 
 1857 ; 3, Curtis Albert, b. in Cincinnati, March 2, 1865, d. May 20, 1865. 
 The present address of the two sons is Ludlow, Ky. They are railroad 
 conductors. 
 
 •Caleb W. was the son of James and Susan C. (Andrews) Clark, by trade a harness and shoemaker ; 
 he was in the carriage business in Groton; he removed from Groton to Rochester, N. Y., and 
 accepted a position as foreman of the shoe department of the House of Refuge, under his broth- 
 er-in-law C. Hitchcock. He removed to Cincinnati when Mr. Hitchcock took the contract and 
 manufactured for the wholesale shoe business. Rhoda was the youngest of 11 children and the 
 jsecond wife of Caleb W. Clark and the mother of thi'ee children. After living in Groton and 
 Rochester and moving to Cincinnati, Ohio, about 1863, I\Irs. Carpenter became troubled with a 
 iieart difficulty from which she never recovered. Her death resulted from the effect of a fall by 
 which her right side was paralyzed. Mrs. Carpenter was buried by the side of her youngest 
 child in Spring Grove cemetery, Cincinnati, Ohio. She was a woman of extraordinary good 
 qualities and was esteemed and respected by all who knew her ; she was a member of the Pres- 
 byterian church at Cincinnati. 
 
 CiNCixxATi, Ohio, Aug. 15, 1879. 
 
 Mr. Carpenter: 
 
 '^ Dear Sir : — Your postal of the 12th inst. is received. I did not know of your sick- 
 ness, and am pleased to know that you are recovering. I have frequently seen your name in 
 New England Genealogical Register, and it is a great ijleasure to address one who has taken so 
 much interest in his family, and devoted so much time and expense to benefit those belonging 
 io the present and future generations of the Carpenter family. Burke says, " Those who treas- 
 ure up the memory of their ancestors should be remembered " and there is no doubt in my mind, 
 but that you, while living have built your own monument, which I hope will ever be regarded as 
 great a work as that achieved by any whose names you will record. I have had a little experi- 
 tence in glancing over old records and books, but I doubt whether with nearly two years occasional 
 reading I have ever acquired more than an idea of the vast amount of trouble and work that 
 you have been too. There is one consolation in knowing that while the study is laborious, at the 
 ■same time it is not void of pleasure. In January of 1875, my mother, Rhoda (Carpenter) Clark 
 died, and since that time I have always felt a desire to Icnow who were her ancestors. During 
 her life-time I did not question her about any of my relations on her side, and then did not 
 linow the name of my grandfather. I have since been able to trace the line back to William, 
 of Weymouth who came in the " Bevis " in 1638, and from the time of my great-grandfather 
 EHsha Carpenter, I have commenced forming a record of the family which I e.xpect will, in a 
 few months, be complete down to the present generation ; with the names of those who are 
 interested, with descendants complete, the record will contain nearly 400 souls. These records 
 of the different families whicli are now being written and collected for me, will (when I have 
 seen that they are all gathered and complete,) oe forwarded to my cousin, Henry Shaver, who 
 has promised to correct and publish them in the form of a pamphlet. 
 
 Your cousin. 
 
 Will C. Clark." 
 
 .Mr. Clark very kindly gave his collections to the compiler to take therefrom what was needed to 
 make the record of that branch of the family complete who had emigrated west, showing a 
 great interest in other branches and the perfection of the work.

330 CARPENTER MEMORIAL. 
 
 ■■-Mr. and Mrs. Nathaniel R. Thatcher celebrated the si.xtieth anniversary of their wedding at their 
 home, Xo. 334 Kensington avenue, Tuesday, May 12. 1S96. Mr. Thatcher was born in New 
 Jersey, March 14, 1812. At the age of twenty-one he left New Jersey to join a brother in Mt. 
 Morris, New York. Mrs. Thatcher was ^liss Lydia Carpenter, and was born near Rochester, 
 N. Y., March 27. 1819. She was one of seventeen children, five of whom are still living, ]\'Irs. 
 Thatcher being the eldest. They came to Illinois, Oct. iS, 1S45, and settled in Warrensville and 
 remained there two years and a half. Then moved to Naperville where Mr. Thatcher was in 
 the nursery business for over twenty years, being a member of the firm of Lewis Ellsworth & 
 Co. The rooms were very prettily decorated with snowballs and red peonies, lilies of the valley 
 being the decorations for the table. There were three generations at the dinner, Lewis having 
 four children. .Mr. and Mrs. George W. Waite of La (grange and Mrs. S. M. Estes of Iowa 
 Falls, Iowa, took dinner witli the family, having been friends fur over fifty years, they being the 
 first acquaintances acquired by Mr. and Mrs. Thatcher after reaching Illinois, and have kept 
 the friendship alive ever since, corresponding when separated. Mrs. Thatcher wore a very 
 pretty dress of brown alpaca which was made twenty-five years ago. It was trimmed with 
 ruffles, folds, and bows, had large flowing sleeves and Avorn with dainty under sleeves of white, 
 tiny cuffs edged with tatting. The dress was made entirely by hand. She wore a large white 
 embroidered kerchief around her neck, held in place with a large oval breast pin, representing 
 the costume of ''Auld Lang Syne." Mr. Thatcher has enjoyed excellent health until within the 
 last year, since which time his health has been greatly enfeebled. Mrs. Thatcher has always 
 been very frail and delicate, but keeps up wonderfully for one of her years. A large number of 
 friends called to offer them congratulations upon having enjoyed such unusual long and happy 
 married life, a sexagesimal marriage anniversary being a blessing seldom conferred upon man." 
 
 Nathaniel R. Thatcher died at his home, 334 South Kensington avenue, La Grange, Nov. 22, 1S96, 
 aged S5. He was one of the oldest and most highly respected citizens of La Grange. He was 
 one of the few men whose word v.'as considered as good as his bond. Rev. Dr. Thayer in con- 
 ducting the services, being personally acquainted only a short period, inquired of a neighbor 
 who had known him for 30 years, if Nathaniel R. Thatcher had left a good record. He rephed, 
 " -A record of pure gold, that noblest work of God, an honest man." He was brought up and 
 educated by Quaker parentage. At the age of 21 he left New Jersey to join a brother in l\It. 
 Morris. N. Y. where he was married to Lydia Carpenter and commenced their labors with small 
 beginnings but ended in leaving considerable estate. This family of Tha.tcher spelt the name 
 with a "t," the Attleboro, Massachusetts family without the "t"

 She is S7 -years of age. and is the daughter of Le\i Carpenter No. 137S, She states that her 
 father-has told frequently of carrying provisions to the Union garrison when stationed in Rhode 
 Island. At one time, while his horse was feeding in the field, a cannon-ball came so near him 
 and gave him such a fright that he would not put his head down for more grass for th-e remainder 
 of the time that he was there. A garrison was stationed at one time opposite the cemetery, 
 near the Pawtucket line, and at another time, at Pawtuxet. It is probably Pawtuxet where he 
 carried the provisions, as the British would frequently sail up the river and give them a few 
 shots to stir them up. The distance was such that it would be necessary to bait his horse before 
 his return.

 300S. IV. Isaiah Philander was b. Jan. 22, 1814, d. Aug. 10, 1841, at Wilmington, N. C. 
 
 He prepared for college at Kimball's academy at Aleriden, N. H. in 1835 and 1836. Soon after he 
 made a profession of faith in the Redeemer and became a member of the Congregational 
 church at \Vaterford, \'t.; he then entered upon a com'se of public education, with reference to 
 the Gospel ministry. He graduated at Dartmouth in August, 1839. In October following, he 
 went to Montgomery, Ala. to spend a few years as a teacher. He entered upon his duties as a 
 teacher with promise of success and usefulness. Though he was surrounded with new scenes 
 and new society, he lost not sight of his Christian character — of his obligation to love and 
 serve his Redeemer. His letters to his parents and friends, especially the last of them, bore 
 evident marks of growing, deepening piety. His mind was evidently becoming more spiritual 
 and his affection more intensely fixed upon heavenly things. In October, 1841, he was attacked 
 with hemorrhage of the lungs. From the first attack he began gradually and constantly to 
 decline. Such, however, was his fortitude and perseverance that he continued to discharge his 
 professional duties until within a few days of his death, Aware that death had nrarked him as 
 his victim, and having to relinquish hope of life, he became anxious to return to the bosom of 
 his father's family. On August 5 he left Montgomery in hope of soon being with his friends, that 
 in the midst of their sympathy and friendship he might joyfully await his summons. At Augusta, 
 Ga., he addressed a short note to his father, advising him of his return and that he might reach home 
 the day following his letter. On his passage from Charleston, S. C. he was again attacked with 
 bleeding. He arrived at Wilmington, N. C. on the morning of the loth, and was taken immediately 
 to the best hotel, where he received the best of care and the attention of an eminent physician. 
 The bleeding was checked and he remainedcomfortable through the day. At twenty minutes past 
 eight o'clock p. m., he began to cough, which was immediately followed by another hemorrhage, 
 which he survived but ten minutes, thus suddenly was this amiable young'man arrested by death.

 Penn.; she d. April 16, 1890, at Hammonton, N, J., aged 73 years. A 
 merchant. 
 
 Mr. Carpenter and family came to Hammonton from Philadelphia in 1S77. Mrs. Carpenter has 
 been a sufferer for several years, but bore the pain, and viewed approaching death with calm- 
 ness, strengthened by Christian hope. Love of life was strong, but her certainty of eternal life 
 was stronger, and a promised dwelling-place where pain and parting cannot come was very 
 attractive.

 Waterford, Yt. He was appointed postmaster when the West Waterford post-office was estab- 
 lished in 1855 and held the ofifice until his resignation in 1888. His wife then received the 
 appointment, and is the present postmistress. He has never failed to make out the quarterly 
 returns for more than 40 years. He was elected a corresponding member of the New England 
 Historic Genealogical society, Boston, Mays, 'S47. He was also elected to represent the town 
 of Waterford, Vt. in the state legislature for two years, in 1888.

 "June 24, 1897, the golden wedding of Amos B. Carpenter and wife was celebrated at the old home- 
 stead in West Waterford, where Amos was born and has spent his life. The old brick house 
 built by Isaiah Carpenter and the pleasant grounds overflowed with guests who came with con- 
 gratulations on this golden wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Amos B. Carpenter. The day 
 was also the sixty-ninth birthday of Mrs. Carpenter, and of her mother Mrs. Ezra Parker, who 
 if living would have been ninety-seven. 
 
 Refreshments were served upon the lawn, after which prayer was offered by Rev. George I. Bard. 
 Friends and relatives commenced to call early in the morning, and at two in the afternoon a 
 large company of 150 enjoyed refreshments in the old-fashioned picnic style. This part of the 
 day's programme was in charge of the ladies, and it was finely carried out. A large number of 
 presents were received, among them $50 in gold and other gold articles. The presentation 
 speech was made by Rev. G. I. Bard of Walpole, N. H. Mr. Carpenter responded in a few 
 well chosen words, thanking his friends for their presence, saying among other things that he

 did not mean to grow old, and invited all to his next fiftieth anniversary. An address was made 
 b)- Chief Judge Jonathan Ross, who congratulated Mr. Carpenter on the large family he had 
 raised and thought that in this respect his was a good example for all to follow. E. L. Hovey 
 spoke of .Mr. Carpenter's enthusiasm in the civil war and of his helping those that went. 
 
 Captain Hovey of St. Johnsbury, a former neighbor, who was born on Mr. Carpenter's twenty- 
 first birthday, spoke of the advance in the last fifty years, and alluded to i\Ir. Carpenter's pro- 
 gressive ideas, and said such were the men who were called cranks, but to them was the world 
 indebted for its improvement, and coming generations gave them their proper place. Also, he 
 spoke in the highest terms of ^Irs, Carpenter, as one who never had an enemy in the wide world. 
 
 E. E. Hovey, who acted as master of ceremonies, made the closing remarks and referred to Mr. 
 Carpenter's patriotism by relating an anecdote. During the war in replying to a neighbor who 
 was discouraged as to the result, 'Mr. Carpenter said, ' Xo, the South shall not win ; before that 
 shall happen we will all rise in a body and drive them into the Gulf of Mexico with our pitch- 
 forks.' Mr. Hovey spoke in pleasant terms of the family, and offered the congratulations of 
 the neighbors and townspeople. The rain that came up about noon prevented many from St. 
 Johnsbury who intended to be present from going over. It was a pleasant occasion and one 
 long to be remembered by the large company present. Every wedding anniversary is also the 
 birthday of Mrs. Carpenter, who was 19 years old on the day of her marriage. After his mar- 
 riage, Amos and his young wife settled down on the old home farm working a while for his 
 father and then purchasing the farm. Here seven children have been born to them, four girls 
 and three boys. Two sons, E. P. and M. B., still live in the old home. E. P. is married and 
 has four children. Herbert, the eldest son, is a prosperous lawyer in California. Three of the 
 daughters were married on the same day about 20 years ago. 
 
 The old farm is a good one, consisting of 400 acres, and has for nearly a century provided the Car- 
 penter family with a living and something to spare. The present house was erected about 77 
 years ago by Isaiah Carpenter and is built of brick made on the farm. It is a solid, substantial 
 and roomy building. The farm buildings have been improved from time to time and are all 
 good ones. The farm is now run by the sons, E. P. and M. B., who also run a creamery. 
 
 The life of Air. Carpenter stretches back to the first generation of 'Waterford people, and alrnost 
 to the beginning of Wattrford history. He has an excellent memory, has been identified with 
 almost every Waterford enterprise and knows its people and history by heart. He has repre- 
 sented the town at Montpelier, and for many years has been postmaster at 'West Waterford. 
 No man is better qualified to write up a Waterford history than .Air. Carpenter, Instead of that 
 he has bent his efforts for 20 years past to writing up the history of the Carpenter family, which 
 has involved a wide correspondence and caused him considerable travel into different parts of 
 New England. When this is off his hands he should put upon paper what he knows about the 
 early days and subsequent history of Waterford. 
 
 Mrs. Carpenter, while quite deaf, still enjoys good health and does considerable work about the 
 house. She is a cheerful, amiable woman and much esteemed by all who know her. Among 
 those who were present during the day from out of town were Mrs. E. B. Parker of Boston, 
 sister-in-law of Mrs. Carpenter; Air. Knights and daughter of Francoriia, N. H.; Air. and Mrs. 
 Swasey of Newbury; a daughter, Mrs. Cummings and three children, from Iowa and Miss Nell 
 Lang and Fred Lang of Alinneapolis who spoke of tliose that were absent." 
 
 Ezra Parker, the father of Cosbi B. (Parker) Carpenter enUsted in the war of 1812 as a private and 
 served until the close of the war — he never shrank from duty ; was recommended for promotion 
 and declined to accept. He was a man of strict integrity, and honest in all his dealings. He 
 had the confidence of his fellow townsmen ; he held the office of selectman for many years and 
 represented the town in the state legislature of New Hampshire. His only son EzraB. Parker, 
 enlisted as private in the civil war in the New Hampshire cavalry and served during the war; 
 was taken prisoner and confined in Libby prison for nine months. For meritorious services he 
 was raised to the office of colonel. Ezra Parker's father, John Parker, was a resident of Pem- 
 broke, N. H. and was born in Andover, Alass., about 1759 and served through the Revolutionary 
 war, (receiving his pay probably in the continental money.) His marriage to Martha Lovejoy 
 cost him 3ioo, he paid S50 to the clerk and S50 to the minister, and was married in deerskm 
 breeches. It is handed down in the family that Ezra Parker's grandfather Joseph Parker, born in

 Andover, Mass., served in the old French war, such a statement was made by Ezra Parker, Esq., of 
 Littleton. N. H., viz : " My grandfather was in the French war, my father was in the Revolutionary 
 war and I was in the war of 1812." His son Ezra B. was in the civil war, making four genera- 
 tions who served their country in the support of good government and free institutions. Joseph 
 Parker married Hannah .Abbott, residence, Pembroke, N. H. His great-grandfather was 
 Joseph a resident of Andover, Mass. His great-great-grandfather, Joseph Parker, born in New- 
 bury, Mass., resided in Andover. His great-great-great-grandfather of Andover, born probably 
 in England, died Xov. 5, 1678 ; his wife's name was Mary and she was hung for witchcraft in 1692. 
 
 It may perhaps interest the reader to know the treatment the prisoners in Libl:)y prison received 
 from the confederate government, and no one knows better than one who was there. Extracts 
 taken from a letter written by Col. Ezra B. Parker who was held there a prisoner some over 
 nine months : 
 
 " None but commissioned officers were confined in Libby prison, a brick tobacco ware-house 120 
 feet long and 100 feet wide. But little heed was paid to the comfort or health of the prisoners, 
 as it was overcrowded at times, sometimes as many as iioo, and the ventilation was inadequate 
 in the summer, and the quarters were veiy cold in the winter, as the only protection in the 
 windows were the iron grates or bars, no glass. Food was supplied in bulk and raw, except 
 bread, and portioned out to each man or mess by commisaries selected among the prisoners, and 
 each man or mess, which was the usual case, had to cook his own portion, or go without. This 
 consisted of one gill of rice, six ounces beef and half a loaf of corn bread per day and salt. 
 When meat was not supplied, and oftentimes it was not for an entire week, its place was supplied 
 with peas and pork. The confederate authorities claimed they did the best they could as they 
 needed the transportation to supply their own armies, but those best able to judge, were con- 
 vinced that had they had the desire, better food might have been procured and drier wood to 
 cook it with, Of course many things come in, which might illustrate unnecessary cruelty in the 
 way of arbitrary and unnecessary rules, for instance, no one was permitted to go within three 
 feet of the windows, to get a breath of air, under penalty of being shot, and one officer was 
 killed and several wounded for the unconscious violation of this unnecessary and cruel order." 
 
 Hannah Burleigh, the wife of Ezra Parker was the sixth child of Josiah Burleigh by his wife Molly 
 Pearsons; he died in Sanbornton on the old homestead, Oct. 9, 1S19; she was the granddaugh- 
 ter of David who came from Xewmarket to Sanbornton, about 177S; he married a Smith and 
 died Feb. to, 1S90, she was the great granddaughter of Joseph, b. April 6, 1695, probably in 
 Exeter, N. H. and removed to Newmarket where he d. in 1760 or 1761 ; the great-great-grand- 
 daughter of James, b. Feb. lo, 1659 and died in Exeter about 1721. He was the son of Giles 
 Burleigh by his wife Elizabeth of Ipswich, Mass. His name is found in Ipswich in 1645, and 
 no doubt he came from England, the first of the family in America.

 children, with only a common school education until i7yearsof age. His preparation for college 
 was under the tutorship of Prof. Colby in the St. Johnsbury academy. He graduated at Dart- 
 mouth in 1851, and in 1S85 the merited degree of LL. D. was conferred on him. He read law

 to the Orange county bar. He was elected state's attorney for the county of Caledonia, in 
 December, 1S62, and was re-elected in 1S63; and was treasurer of the Passumpsic savings 
 bank from 1S59 to 1S69 ; was representative for the town of St. Johnsbury, Vt. in the state leg- 
 islature in 1S65 and 1S66, and 1867 ; and senator of Caledonia county in 1S70. He was appointed 
 a member of the state board of education in 1866, and held the position until he was called to 
 the bench. He also held many important offices in the schools of St. Johnsbm-y, and in the 
 village. He is now chief justice of the supreme court of the state of \'ermont. 
 
 History says of Mrs. Eliza A. Ross, that she was educated at Newbury, Lyndon and St. Johns- 
 bury academies and taught many terms in the public schools of Vermont and New Hampshire. 
 She was a woman of exceptional intellectual, moral and personal qualities, of bright culture, 
 and was a most estimable wife and mother. The following is an obituary notice of Mrs. Jona- 
 than Ross : 
 
 " Died at St. Johnsbury, Jan. 15, (1886) Eliza Carpenter, wife of Judge Jonathan Ross, aged 59 
 years. For some 40 years she has lived among us, first as a student in the academy, in later 
 years as a matron, whose quiet sweetness and excellence will be long remembered. Her strong, 
 well balanced character made her the worthy companion of her husband, who was known in 
 the gates when he sat among the elders. With intelligent and gentle fidelity she trained a large 
 family of children to lives of usefulness. For nearly 30 years she was a beloved and devoted 
 member of the South church, and had the satisfaction before her death of leaving all her 
 family to its fellowship. 
 
 Edward H. Ross graduated at Dartmouth with high rank in the class of 18S6. He is now practis- 
 ing medicine at St. Johnsbury, having good success in his profession. He prepared for college 
 in the academy at St. Johnsbury. He married Nellie Olivia Kersey, April 11, 1S94; she was 
 the daughter of Charles H. Hersey of Wolfsboro, N. H. 
 
 Jonathan C. Ross graduated at Dartmouth, he was a student from the St. Johnsbury academy ; 
 he graduated from the Columbian law school at Washington, D. C; he read law with Philip 
 Carpenter, Esq. of New York, and was admitted to the bar in the city of New York and is now 
 in the law office of his cousin, Philip Carpenter, Esq., New York city.

 Goodall, daughter of Ira Goodall, of Bath, N. H., Nov. 2, 1853. 
 
 The biographical notice of him from which the following extracts are taken appeared in the yifc'rt'- 
 2'(ro-Ztya/yo«r««/ of New York for March, 1S96, (also in the AVzi' York Press of the 27th of 
 March, 1S96), on the occasion of his appointment as chief justice of the New Hampshire 
 supreme bench : 
 
 " He was fitted for college in the St. Johnsbury academy, entered Williams college in 1845 and was 
 graduated in 1849. He studied law in Bath, N. H., v.'ith Ira Goodall, and was admitted to the 
 bar of the state in 1853. He practiced his profession continuously residing in Bath, from that 
 time until his appointment to the bench in iS8r, in which time he was county solicitor {the pros- 
 ecuting officer) for Grafton county from 1S63 to 1S73. 
 
 "Judge Carpenter was appointed a justice of the sui^reme court l:>y Gov. Charles H. Beel, in Sep- 
 tember, 1881, and has held that place ever since. He is a Republican, and at the time of his 
 appointment to the bench was one of the foremost lawyers of the state, if not one of the leaders 
 of the bar. 
 
 " In his judicial career he has won much distinction and without any disparagement to his associ- 
 ates, it is the unquestioned fact that he has pre-eminent quahfications for his present advance- 
 ment. He will be a most worthy occupant of .the position made famous by the unbroken line of 
 distinguished chief justices, beginning with Jeremiah Smith and ending with Charles Doe. 
 
 " He was appointed chief justice by Gov. Charles A. Busiel, to fill the vacancy caused by the death 
 of the late Chief Justice Charles Doe on the 26th of March, 1896, in response to the almost 
 unanimous voice of the bar of the state. 
 
 " In addition to his legal qualifications. Justice Carpenter is noted for his accurate and superior 
 scholarship. He is a wide reader of the best English authors, even most of the modern lan- 
 guages. He continues also to be a student of the dead languages, as a matter of recreation. He 
 is one of the most cultured men in New England.

 "The degree of LL. D. was conferred upon Judge Carpenter by Williams college in 1S89 and by 
 Dartmouth college in 1S96." 
 
 The I\'ew York Journal said of Justice Carpenter on April 5, 1896 : 
 
 " In addition to his legal attainments, which make him one of the ablest and most respected of 
 New England's jurists, the new chief justice is noted for his broad scholarship and literary 
 acquirements. *>.**» <• j^g brings to his new position a 
 
 versatility and culture seldom found." 
 
 The Boston Globe of .March 26, iNgG, said : 
 
 "Judge Carpenter has never hesitated to differ in opinion with his associates upon the bench 
 whenever his judgment has not coincided with theirs and has probably had more disagreements 
 as to the law in cases with the late Chief Justice Doe than any of his colleagues * * * 
 He has always been independent, impartial and painstaking, and has invariably presented a 
 cogent convincing reason for whatever opinion he has entertamed." 
 
 Of Julia R. Carpenter, wife of Judge Carpenter and mother of his si.\ children, a Xew York mag- 
 azine said recently that she belonged to "one of the most distinguished families of Northern 
 Xew Hampshire, was herself a woman of great natural capacity, was highly educated by the 
 best masters in Boston and trained her children, both by precept and example to a love of the 
 best things in life, to have and study the best literature and to work for the well-being and 
 advancement of others." .She is secretary to the X"ew Hampshire state board of charities, the 
 first state board in New Hampshire to which women have been appointed. Her later life since 
 the marriage of lier children has been devoted largely to philant!iropic, temperance, missionary 
 and reli-i'ious work.

 way home from Mobile, Ala. A Congregational minister. 
 
 He resided in Ashford until 21 years of age. At the age of 19 he became asubject of renewed 
 grace, and united with the Congregational church at Eastford parish in the town of Ashford, 
 under the pastoral care of Rev. Reuben Torrey. About two years intervened between the first 
 profession of religion and his final determination to devote himself to the work of the Gospel 
 ministry. He commenced his studies at IMonson academy, in April, 1833. at about the age of 21, 
 and entered .Amherst college in the autumn of 1S35. During his college life, his deportment was 
 such as became his profession and high aims. He graduated in 1S39 with .1 public share of the 
 honors of the institution, and a rank in point of scholarship that placed him high in his class. 
 Soon after taking his degree he commenced teaching in Pittsfield, Mass., and continued in this 
 employment a year. He then entered upon his professional studies at East Windsor, and pur- 
 sued them something less than two years. He left his studies at this point, designing only a 
 brief intermission; but before the period of his contemplated absence had elapsed he was 
 attacked with a profuse hemorriiage of the lungs which was succeeded by other similar attacks, 
 and brought him very low, protracting his absence from his studies for more than a year. 
 During this period he visited his frierds in the state of New York, and was licensed to preach 
 the gospel by the Chautauqua association of Congregational ministers. In the autumn of 1843 
 he returned to the seminary, an 1 there he continued his studies through most of the succeeding 
 year. During this year he was frequently called to preach in the neighboring congregations. 
 On Sept. 8, 1844, he was united in marriage to the companion of his subsequent life. Soon 
 afterwards, by the invitation of the Congregational church and society in Sinclairville, N. Y., he 
 began his labors in that place. These labors he continued some 11 months as a licentiate; and 
 was ordained pastor of the church on Sept. 25, 1845, the same day that their house of worship 
 was dedicated to the service of A'mighty God. Early in the following summer, it began to be

 evident that his labors were preying upon his strength, and that a temporar}- rela.xation from 
 them was imperatively demanded. For this purpose he visited Boston, where, after the lapse of 
 about three weeks, he was again attacked with hemorrhage and reduced to such a degree of weak- 
 ness that he never preached again. His last sermon was delivered in Green St. Church, Boston, 
 Julv 26. 1S46. The last before his own people was on the 5th of the same month. With the 
 hope of a favorable influence from the change of climate, he spent the last winter in Mobile. 
 His letters from that place all breathe the same spirit of simple dependence on God. and confid- 
 ing faith in Him, that have marked his whole career as a Christian. He set out on his return 
 on March 29. On April i5, he reached Beaver, Penn., where he died the following day. 
 The father of the foregoing family, his grandfather, Jonah Carpenter enlisted as a minute 
 man in the Revolutionary war for 21 days, and was called to go to Ro.xbury (or some 
 where in that vicinity) in 1775. His name is found written in wills and other docu- 
 ments, Jonah, Josias and Josiah. On the record of the Revolutionary soldiers of Connec- 
 ticut it is recorded Josiah as serving 21 days as above stated. The same is set to Josiah, No.

 AIy Dear Corsix : — 
 
 Yours of I\Iar. 26, met a very cordial welcome on its arrival, two days since; and in 
 accordance with my promise in that "short letter," if it can be called a letter. 1 will respond at 
 such length as I hope may prove satisfactory to you, although I do not seem to have much inspir- 
 ation for letter writing of late years. But I have read and re-read yours with a great deal of 
 interest, and will respond as best I can. These words, "I still live on the old farm" touched a 
 chord that will not cease to vibrate while the blood circulates in my veins. My thoughts often, 
 very often, re-vert to the old farm where I was born, with yearning desire to see it again ; but the 
 hope that I may do so is growing fainter and fainter as year after year rolls off the wheel of 
 time. The last four and a half years have seemed dark and dreary, for the most part, resulting 
 from losses and disappointments that I will not weary you by reciting. I have been in this 
 mining camp for the last eighteen months, under circumstances that make it necessary to be 
 alone so far as having my family with me is concerned. My wife and Chester Wallace are in 
 San Francisco with her parents, who are poor; and the board money that I send her every 
 month helps to keep the family together. Chester W. has been over three years in one of the 
 largest importing houses in the cit}-, which deals in agricultural implements, hardware, etc ; and 
 if he remains there until he is 21, he will have a knowledge of the business that should give him 
 a reasonably fair start in the race of life. Of course he needs to have his mother to look after 
 him, hence I make a "merit of necessity" and try to make myself as contented as possible with- 
 out them ; and have only been home twice in the eighteen months since I came here. My wife

 is intending to malce me a visit next month, l^ut the expense involved (S25 or S30) is a matter of 
 no small importance, and I wrote her yesterday that I have doubts a.s to whether we ought to 
 spend the amount for that purpose at present. I am bookkeeper for a private company of gentle- 
 men who are opening a quartz mine here. They have already spent about ,S5o,ooo on the 
 enterprise, and are just beginning to find very strong evidence that they have a good property; 
 have just completed an eight-stamp mill, capable of reducing about eight tons of ore in twenty- 
 four hours, but their mine is not yet sufficiently opened to keep the mill constantly supplied with 
 ore. Aly salary is small, but my duties are not very laborious. The superintendent (who is also 
 an owner of one-fifth) is an old friend, and promises me an increase of salary when the mine 
 becomes remunerative. Aside from living away from my family, in a locality where there are 
 no Sabbath privileges, and but few privileges of any kind, my life here is not an unpleasant one. 
 And nearly four months ago, my daughter and her little boy of four years, came up here from 
 near the city, where she had been teaching school, and is now teaching in the village a mile and a 
 half from this camp. I have occasion to go to the post office every moining, and scarcely ever fail 
 to see them. My little grandson is a very Ijright and loving little fellow, and seeing them so 
 often is a great comfort to me. Mattie is an excellent teacher, and I believe the children are 
 quite fond of her.

 Dear Cousix Amos ; — 
 
 It seems only just to ray dear father's memory that a more extended account of 
 his noble life should be added to the e.xcellent testimonial already written by yourself in recog- 
 nition of his worth. Perhaps no one can do this more easily than his "only and beloved daugh- 
 ter," as he always called me. for our association was even more tender and intimate than usual 
 between parent and child, his every plan and hope being confided to me from the moment of its 
 inception. 
 
 When in February, 1S94, he left Boston, for California by way of the dreaded Cape Horn, he had 
 never spoken any language but English, although a fair Latin scholar, but, he made such good 
 use of the first half of that seven months' voyage, that on the arrival at A'alparaiso he acted as 
 interpreter for the ship, and when they reached San Francisco in September, he was able to con- 
 verse fluently in the Spanish tongue which was at that early day so important as a medium of 
 communication with the Mexican. 
 
 I mention this instance of my father's untiring energy and quickness of intellect, as being charac- 
 teristic of his whole career. Just as he had unaided, mastered a foreign language, so he would 
 adapt himself to any circumstances in which he might be placed, ready at one and the same time 
 to handle the pick and shovel in the mines and lead the singing and religious exercises of any 
 denomination in the locality. Mining, however, occupied but a very small portion of the 
 forty years of his life in California. He went into business in Sacramento, making and losing 
 three successive fortunes, by fire, flood, and the treachery of a partner. He owned and ran, as 
 captain, the steamer C)rient, the first passenger boat that ever plied the Sacramento river between 
 San Francisco and Red Bluff, the latter being then the hightest navigable point of the river. He 
 afterwards sold the Orient to the California Steam Navigation company, and it blew up the fol- 
 lowing year. He continued in the employ of this company many years as captain and clerk, and 
 many a venerable pioneer recalls with pleasure the trip taken with the jovial Captain Carpenter, 
 whose steady hand and eye guided the tiny stern-wheeled boat, through the snags and over the 
 "Hog's Back" of the upper Sacramento. In 1S65, the steamer Sophia .McLean, under command 
 of Captain Hurlbut, was blown up, and its captain killed. My father was appointed to and 
 held this position about fifteen years, then resigned to open a mining office in San Francisco. 
 Another fortune was swallowed up in building a flume to develop a mine near Dutch Flat, and 
 in the meantime my father, with his limitless confidence in human nature was induced to fit out 
 an expedition in search of the famous Cocas Island Treasure. It is laughable and at the same 
 time pitiful to think how we all shared his enthusiasm and hope in the success of this venture, 
 which ended as have all other attempts before and since, in the same direction, though I believe 
 another ship was fitted out lately to go on this fruitless voyage.

 It was after this failure that my father went to Mountain Ranch as told in his letter, and then 
 returned to San Francisco where he was employed in Goss & Dow's foundry, as bookkeeper. He 
 was an expert accountant and was often engaged by different firms to straighten out their books. 
 
 He was a prominent Mason, having been master of Occidental lodge, No. i of San Francisco, and 
 was buried by the order. 
 
 After my brother Wallace's death, my father's health became so broken that physicians said he 
 could never recover, but to their astonishment he did become perfectly well, and for months 
 before his death had been working very hard up in Placer county where he had gone to sell a 
 mine in which he had an interest. On the evening of May S, iSgo, he ate, as usual, a hearty sup- 
 per, and went to bed apparently in perfect health, and was found in the morning, with his head 
 resting upon one hand, having apparently passed in his sleep to that rest which the Lord promi- 
 ses to His beloved. 
 
 To us the members of his family, who had known of his cherished desire to go east once more to 
 visit the dear ones whom he had known and loved forty years before, it seemed almost cruel 
 that he should have been cut off with none of the hopes of a lifetime realized, but, as he wrote 
 to me once : "It is no less a sin to murmur now than in the days when ;\loses led the Children 
 of Israel through the wilderness to the Promised Land." Nor did he ever repine at whatever 
 befell him. One of the last articles I ever received from his pen was a poen written on the occa- 
 sion of my 42d birthday. 
 
 His wife, my dear stepmother, still lives in San Francisco, caring for her aged mother, now 86 
 years old and blind, having lost her sight about fifteen years ago. Her only son, my brother 
 Wallace, was cut off in his early manhood, as stated elsewhere in the Carpenter history."

 Their experiences in that new farming country, particularly during the famous blizzard year, are 
 of more interest than often recorded either in biography, history or fiction, but both are earnest, 
 devoted Christians, and their faith sustains them in all privations.

 He commenced a course of study in 1S34 and graduated at Bangor Theological seminary in 1840; 
 he was ordained pastor of the Central Congregational church at Eastport, i\Ie., June 16, 1841. 
 He asked for dismission in June, 1S43, on account of ill health. He was installed pastor of the 
 Congregational church at Dexter, Sept. lo, 1S46, where he resided in 1S48. 
 
 Mr. Carpenter was a man of marked ability, as no one who knew him will deny; he made everyone 
 feel it with whom he came in contact. He knew the world and his fellowmen. He could think 
 long and patiently, and could execute vigorously and decisively. Failure never disheartened 
 him, success never intoxicated him. He was always hopeful, always resolute and tenacious. He 
 deliberately and gladly devoted his mind and energies to the service of his Master, he gave no 
 doubtful proof of his earnest sincerity and Christian faith. The following taken from his diary 
 gives an insight to his struggles and aspirations. 
 
 " At the age of 22 I was without a farthing, and was under the necessity of keeping school one-half 
 of the time to obtain funds to attend school the other half. In January, 1S32 made a public pro- 
 fession of religion and united with the Congregational church at Foxcroft. In March following 
 I was prostrated by a severe and painful sickness from which I suffered many weary months of 
 pain and anxiety. During this illness I resolved if God spared my life to become a minister of 
 the Gospel and spend my hfe in the service of Christ." 
 
 In September, 1S33 he entered the classical school, then connected with the theological seminary 
 at Bangor. On his graduation from the seminary he received a unanimous call from the church 
 in Eastport and remained there about three years ; his dismissal was reluctantly granted. With 
 restored health he accepted a call from the church at Dexter, where he remained nine years. 
 In 1S55 he accepted the pastorate of the Congregational church in New Castle, where he 
 remained until 1859; when he removed to Houlton. He labored in Houlton and vicinity for nearly 
 seven years, preaching much of the time three sermons every Sabbath. In 1S66 he removed to 
 Waldoboro, where he remained for one year and returned to Houlton : from this time he was 
 able to preach only three sermons before his death. His lectures and addresses upon tem- 
 perance, moral reform and education would fill a volume. No good work called in vain upon 
 him for help.

 Seth Loomis, when a young man, studied for the profession of the law and in due time was 
 admitted to the Courts. In order to obtain the means for his education he taught district and 
 writing schools in the winter and peeled hemlock bark in the summer or did anything that 
 turned up where he could earn an honest dollar. One of the schools he taught before he was 
 twenty was in Cambridge, Me., where he became acquainted with his future wife. Miss Lucinda 
 Ham. At the close of school he went to New Orleans, but soon returned to Maine. Soon after, 
 he went \vest and setried in Wisconsin; in three years he returned to his native state and prac- 
 tised in his profession. He enlisted in the Civil war as a nine months' man; his company ten- 
 dered him the position of captain when they organized at Bangor. At this time without any 
 solicitation he received the commission of first lieutenant of the 17th infantry, U. S. army, then 
 quartered at I-^ordand. He entered at once into the duties of enlisting men to fill up the regi- 
 ment. In performing his duties he was thrown from the buggy and disabled his hip, which 
 made him unfit for service, but he continued in the business of recruiting. Soon after he 
 resigned and he and his family again went west and settled at Alpena, Mich. Here he opened 
 a law office and remained at Alpena until he died. He was a very energetic man, generous to a 
 fault and of a roving nature ; he had a good faculty for making money and less for keeping it, 
 which resulted in many ups and downs. He was a man who tried to keep his name an honorable 
 one, and early taught his children that a good education and a good name was the best inher- 
 itance he could leave them. He was an enthusiasdc Mason, having served as master of the 
 lodge several dmes, and at the time of his death was a member of the Knights Templar. He 
 was always a leading thinker and counsellor among the citizens and was highly respected by 
 every class of men. He was buried with Masonic honors.

 Obituary notice of his death from The Watchman: 
 
 "The i^oxboro Baptist church has been called to suffer a deep loss in the death of Mr. William 
 Carpenter. For 54 years he has been a member and warm friend and supporter of this church. 
 He was one of those who lived as they professed. He believed fully that the gospel of Christ 
 could thoroughly change a man's life. He therefore expected that Christian men should be,first 
 of all, upright and strictly just in whatever they did. He was a man who had the public confi- 
 dence ; the people well knew his interest in public affairs ; they also recognized his great faith- 
 fulness in all matters entrusted to his care. Hence, he had many positions of trust in the church 
 and in the community. In business he had won success by hard work and perseverance. He 
 was engaged in the manufacture of straw goods in Foxboro, and was also a wholesale dealer in 
 straw and millinery goods having his warehouse in Koston. For some fifteen years he was in 
 the well-known firm of Carpenter, Plimpton & Co., of Boston. In 1S65 he retired from active 
 business life, giving his attention to the mansgement of his affairs. 
 
 Notwithstanding his success in business and in the various trusts committed to his care, his high- 
 est interest was centered in the church of God. It was there that he loved to be, to meet with 
 God's people, and to worship with them. He was constant in attendance and activity. He 
 thoroughly appreciated those old lines, ' I love thy church, O God;' and his faithfulness here 
 was rewarded. For years he had been treasurer and a member of the board of trustees. Mr. 
 Carpenter left a wife and son, the latter in business in New York city. Among other public 
 gifts he left by his will : $500 to Boyden library of Foxboro, $sco to home missions, $500 to for- 
 eign missions, $500 to St. Albans lodge F. & A. M.. gicco to the Foxboro Baptist church. 
 
 These gifts, it ought to be said, are but an index of the generous nature of the man. For forty 
 years he has been a systematic giver to God's work, lioth for home and foreign fields. 
 
 He was a firm advocate of our denominational paper. The Watchman, and had taken it at home 
 and abroad for over 52 years. On Nov. 3d, at the age of 74 years, our brother was taken away, 
 but we are reminded constantly of the truth, ' He being dead yet speaketh.' "

 Betsey H. Hinman, May 8, 1859, of Pomfret, Vt. His wife, Hannah, was the 
 daughter of Nathaniel Kendall. He d. Dec. 31, 1872. Residence, Derby, 
 Vt. An inn-keeper and farmer. 
 
 Chester Carpenter, soon afler he arrived of age, came to Derbj-, Vt., and bargained for a lot of 
 unimproved land; this was in the summer of 1807. He felled lo acres of trees that season, and 
 cut them up suitable for piling. The winter following, he taught school in Brownington, an 
 adjacent town. Returning to Derby in the following spring he cleared the land on which he had 
 felled trees the summer before and sowed it to wheat. The following summer he built a barn, 
 and finished it in season to store his wheat crop ; this wheat paid for his land. The next winter 
 he taught school in Derby, in the so-called !\Ioses Blake district, and again the next winter, 
 being the winter of 1809-10. The summer following that year, he built a house, and was married 
 Nov. II, iSii, and commenced housekeeping. In the fall of 1812, in the time of our last war 
 with England, he volunteered to defend our northern frontier when called for. He was then a 
 sergeant in the militia at Derby; he was the first man to step out of the ranks and volunteer. 
 The call was for six months, and the troops were to render service whenever and wherever 
 needed. Two companies were ordered to Derby. He was a member of Captain Mason's com- 
 pany, and was chosen as orderly sergeant. After having served his term of enhstment, he 
 returned to his farm. In December of 1815 he purchased the old farm at Derby Center, and 
 opened a tavern, and of course sold liquor. In 1S19, he tore the old house down, and built the 
 one now occupied by William H. Hinman, kept it until 1S39, when he rented it, and built the 
 house now owned by ?vlr. Spear. About 1825 he made profession of religion and became a 
 member of the Baptist church. In 1836 he was largely instrumental in building the Baptist

 meeting house and parsonage, contributing of his own means not less than $1,000. In 1840 he 
 secured the location of the academy at Derby, furnished means and superintended the building 
 of the academy and boarding-house, at an expense to himself of not less than fo,ooo. He also 
 gave the land for a cemetery in the rear of the Baptist meeting-house. To encourage the build- 
 ing up of the village, he sold his land suitable for building lots for less than its actual worth for 
 farming purposes. Every enterprise calculated to improve and develop the interest of the county 
 received his best personal efforts, and procured aid so far as his means would allow. As a citi- 
 zen and townsman, whatever was for the general interest, he considered was his own interest. 
 He was a tavern-keeper from 1815 to 1840; he kept and sold liquors in small quantities to his 
 patrons, the traveling public. 
 His bar-room was not the lounging-place for town topers and village loafers ; if any person called 
 for a drink, and exhibited signs of drunkenness, or had recently drank at his bar, a quiet but 
 prompt refusal decided the matter. Implements for gambling never on any occasion were 
 allowed a place in his house. His house was for the purpose contemplated by law— a home for 
 the traveller. He was amongst the earliest advocates of temperance, and the first tavern-keeper 
 in this part of the country to throw alcohol in all its forms out of his bar. He paid nearly one- 
 half of the expense of building the academy at Derby. He was elected and served on the exec- 
 utive committee for many years. As a townsman he was always ready to do what he could to 
 advance the moral, religious and educational interests of the town, and was for many years called 
 upon by his fellows to serve them in various offices in their gift. He was justice of the peace for 
 about 30 years. In military affairs he arose in regular gradation to that of colonel of the regi- 
 ment. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity for many years.

 Extracts taken from the Memorial Sketch of Philo Carpenter, by Rev. Henry L. Hammon : 
 
 Philo lived on the farm with his father till he was of age. He received little money from his 
 parents, but did receive those greater gifts, good blood, ^ good constitution, a good common- 
 school education — supplemented by a few terms at the academy at South Adams — and habits of 
 morality, industry, and economy. He made two trips as a commercial traveler as far south 
 as Richmond, Va. But having had his thoughts turned toward medical studies during his 
 stay at South Adams, he went to Troy, N. Y., and entered the drug-store of Amatus Robbins, 
 where, in connection with a clerkship, he continued his studies, and at length gained a half- 
 interest in the business. He was married there in May, 1830, to Sarah Forbes Bridges, but she 
 died the following November. 
 
 It was at Troy that young Carpenter experienced that great change which gives permanence to 
 all the natural virtues and fixes the character on the bed-rock of Christian principle. In March, 
 1830, he joined the First Presbyterian church then under the pastoral care of Rev. Dr. Nathan 
 S. S. Beman. 
 
 The return of a cousin, Isaac Carpenter, who had explored the west, on an Indian pony, from 
 Detroit to St. Louis, and his report of the land to be possessed, and especially of the favorable 
 opening at Fort Dearborn, was the immediate occasion of young Carpenter's decision to come 
 hither. He closed out his business early in the summer of 1832, shipped a stock of drugs and 
 medicines to Fort Dearborn, took the short railroad then built to Schenectady, thence took pas- 
 sage on a line boat on the Erie Canal to Buffalo, thence on the small steamer Enterprise, Capt. 
 Augustus Walker, to Detroit, thence by mud wagon, called a stage, to Niles, Mich., thence on a 
 lighter belonging to Hiram Wheeler, afterward a well-known merchant of Chicago, to St. 
 Joseph at the mouth of the river, in company with George W. Snow; thence they had expected 
 to sail in a schooner to Fort Dearborn, but on account of the report of cholera among the 
 troops there, a captain, one Carver, refused to sail, and had tied up his vessel. They however 
 engaged two Indians to tow them around the head of the lake in a canoe, with an elm bark 
 tow-rope. At Calumet, one of the Indians was attacked with cholera, but the druggist-doctor 
 prescribed for him and they kept on till, just fifty-six years ago this evening, they were within 
 sight of the fort, at about the present location of the Douglas monument, when the Indians 
 refused to proceed. But Samuel Ellis, wlio had come from Berkshire Co., Mass., lived there. 
 They spent the night with him and he brought them the next morning in an ox-wagon to the 
 fort, on the i8th of July, 1832. 
 
 Rev. Mr. Hildreth reports this trip a little differently : — " At St. Joseph a Frenchman told them of 
 'very nice way to go ;' they hired the two Indians, left St. Joseph, Monday, July 16, 1832. First 
 night stayed in a place where a vessel had been beached. Tuesday night, reached a deserted 
 house at Calumet. Wednesday morning, pushed along and breakfasted with Samuel Ellis. 
 After breakfast, Mr. Ellis brought them with their trunks into Chicago, reaching there about 
 noon, Wednesday, July iS." 
 
 There was then here, outside the fort, less than two hundred inhabitants, mostly Indians and half- 
 breeds, who lived in poor log-houses, built on both sides of the river near its mouth. The 
 cholera was raging fearfully among the troops, and Mr. Carpenter engaged at once in ministries 
 for their relief. Detecting life in one young man, supposed to be dead, he saved him from a 
 premature burial. 
 
 Rev. H. L. Hammond — Dear Sir: Will you permit a stranger to express her grateful apprecia- 
 tion of the Memorial of the late Philo Carpenter, recently read by yourself before the Chicago 
 Historical society. It was a gratification to hear a tribute so truthful paid to the memory of one 
 who was so truly a friend of humanity. 
 
 During the dread summers of 1849 and 1850 it was my privilege to be a member of his family, and 
 to know how tireless were his efforts in behalf of the sick and suffering. Fearless of disease 
 himself, he seemed to lead a charmed life among the abject poor, with all their wretched sur- 
 roundings. It was impossible in many cases to obtain a physician's attendance, and here 
 Chicago's first druggist did their work as necessity forced it upon him. His devoted wife, while

 greatly fearing for her husband's safety, never sought to restrain him in his work of mercy, but 
 with her own hands pi'epared nourishment to be used in his daily ministrations among the 
 cholera-stricken to whom he was doctor, nurse, and minister. Said the Rev. Dudley Chase, the 
 rectorof the church of the Atonement : " I never visit the stranger, the sick, and the poor, but I 
 find that Deacon Carpenter has been there before me. He ought to be ordained." It is not 
 strange that such devotion was unrecorded, for this man in the quietness of his daily life 
 shunned the breath of praise more than that of pestilence. »*«-"« 
 
 Yours Respectfully, 
 Chicago, July 30, 1SS8. Sophi.a T. Griswold. 
 
 With a Methodist brother and an officer of the fort, he held a prayer-meeting the first evening 
 after his arrival. 
 
 " Inquiring if there was any preaching on Sunday, he was told there was preaching neither Sun- 
 days nor week-days ; and he began public service, July 22, 1832, reading a sermon in the absence 
 of a minister. This was the beginning of uninterrupted public worship in Chicago." — Rev. 
 
 HiLDRETH. 
 
 At the end of the first month, viz.: on Aug. 19, a Sunday-school was regularly organized, of which 
 he was chosen superintendent. That Sunday-school still lives in the First Presbyterian church 
 of this city, whose pastor is Rev. Dr. John H. Barrows. 
 
 When Mr. Carpenter's goods arrived, he opened the first drug store in a log building on Lake 
 Street near the river, where there was a great demand for his drugs, especially his quinine. 
 The anticipated opening of the Illinois and Michigan canal, a bill for which, introduced by the 
 late Gurdon S. Hubbard, passed the Illinois' house of representatives in 1S33 — though it did not 
 become a law till 1835, and the canal was not actually commenced till Mr. Hubbard removed one 
 of the first shovelfuls of dirt, July 4, 1836 — turned attention to Fort Dearborn, increased the 
 population rapidly, and Mr, Carpenter's business prospered. He soon removed to a larger 
 store vacated by George W. Dole, also a log-house, and enlarged his stock with other kinds of 
 goods. He bought a lot on South Water Street between Wells and LaSalle and there built a 
 frame store, the lumber for which was brought from Indiana on a "prairie schooner" drawn by 
 ten or twelve oxen. 
 
 In 1871, he also built a two-story frame house on La Salle Street opposite the court house square, 
 and having been married again in the spring of 1834, to Miss Ann Thompson of Saratoga, N. Y., 
 he made there his home. Seven children were the fruit of that marriage, only two of whom, 
 Mrs. W. W. Cheney and Mrs. Rev. Edward Hildreth, and the children of a third, Mrs. W. W. 
 Strong, survive him. 
 
 In 1842, he removed his business to 143 Lake Street ; the next year he sold out to Dr. John Brink- 
 erhoof ; some of the fixtures are thought to have remained in use till consumed in the great fire 
 of 1871. After the sale, Mr. Carpenter confined his business to the care of his real estate, which 
 had then become considerable, as he had appropriated all his spare funds to its purchase. He 
 had sublime faith in the future value of Chicago real estate. He early acquired a quarter- 
 section, ten miles up the north branch of the river, and another quarter on the west side, which 
 he afterward subdivided as Carpenter's Addition to Chicago. It is that part of the west side 
 now bounded by West Kinzie Street on the north, Halsted on the east. West Madison on the 
 south, and a line between Ann and Elizabeth on the west. He went to Washington and secured 
 a patent for this quarter section signed by Andrew Jackson, which his heirs still possess. 
 
 It was probably on that journey to Washington, which occupied three weeks, that he set out at 
 the same time with an U. S. officer who traveled on the Sabbath in haste on public business, but 
 the deacon kept his conscience as well as holy time, and tho' he apparently lost three days, he 
 yet rode into Washington on the same train with the official. 
 
 Few shared his sanguine expectations when he preempted this tract as the foundation of his 
 fortune. " It was so far from the village." " It would never be wanted except for farm pur- 
 poses, and was too low and marshy even for cultivation." " In the spring of the year it was 
 often under water and could be crossed only by boat," and "there was little prospect that it 
 could ever be plowed except by anchors." Rev. Flavel Bascom tells us that when he first came 
 with his wife to Illinois and was being carried by Philo Carpenter in a two-seated buggy across 
 the mud bottoms of West Chicago toward the interior, at one place Mr. Carpenter stopped

 pointed to a marsh and said ; " Here I have preempted a quarter section of land which I expect 
 will make me rich some day." The young minister and his wife on the backseat exchanged sig- 
 nificant glances at the visionary anticipations of the good deacon. 
 
 About 1840, I\Ir. Carpenter removed his residence to the west side, built a fine house as it was 
 then thought, in the middle of one block of his addition, which is bounded by West Randolph 
 Street on the north, Morgan on the east. West Washington on the south, and Carpenter on the 
 west. There I found him when I came to Chicago in 1S56 — one of the earliest acquaintances I 
 made here thirty-two years ago. I could but admire the place, for he had tried, to plant in that 
 block every kind of tree and shrub found in this region, and he showed his good taste by allow- 
 ing them all to grow naturally. Not one was trained into any fantastic shape, or deformed with 
 shears. That was long the most prominent house on the west side. It has lately been removed 
 and the entire block offered for sale by the heirs. It is greatly to be desired that it should be 
 bought by the city for a park — a little breathing place of convenient access to the people amid 
 many blocks of buildings. Itshould be improved after his plan and called Carpenter Park, as a 
 perpetual memorial of the good pioneer. And better still, if some tablet could tell that this was 
 the resting-place of good men and women coming to the west for its salvation from barbarism, 
 intemperance, and infidelity, who were refreshed by the generous hospitalities of Mr. Carpenter 
 and his worthy wife, and sent on their way with a hearty God speed. 
 
 And another tablet should tell of it as the hiding-place for the colored emigrant from the south, 
 whom this officer of the underground railroad piloted by night to Canada bound vessels, as they 
 were seeking that Hberty which was then denied them under the stars and stripes. Two hundred 
 fugitives it is said were thus helped to a land of liberty, and it is not known that one of them 
 was ever recaptured. 
 
 There he lived till 1S65, when with the hope of benefitting his wife's health, he removed to Aurora, 
 111., where she died six months afterward ; and for the last twenty years of his life was alone in 
 his pilgrimage. 
 
 Only the angels know how much of the usefulness of this good man was wrought by the prayerful 
 influence of his sainted wife, Ann Thompson Carpenter. So symmetrical was her character in 
 all the womanly virtues, so exalted her standard of personal piety, that one, who had known her 
 intimately for years, hesitates to tell the simple truth lest the words find no credence. There 
 was an indescribable charm in the house over which she presided, and the wanderer and the 
 wayfarer always found a place and a welcome. In all the trials of life, in the sickness and death 
 of three children there was the same unmurmuring spirit, the same loving submission to the 
 will of God. In perfect sj'mpathy with her husband in every work of reform, she was ever fear- 
 ful that his zeal should find some hasty utterance that would wound the feehngs of another. He 
 was a person of strong convictions, she, of deep sympathies. While she denounced sin, her man- 
 tle of charity was covering the sinner. It is not too much to say, that in her sweet spirit every 
 Christian grace had special prominence. 
 
 He returned to the city to spend the last twelve'years, but not to the historic block. His health 
 was delicate. He was unable to undertake new business, but lived quietly with his children till 
 Aug, 7, 1SS6, when he passed to his eternal home. 
 
 When Rev. Jeremiah Porter was considering the question of accepting a call to labor in Fort 
 Dearborn, he was told, "There is one good man there who has organized a Sunday-school." He 
 came, found the man and the school, and began his labors. Mr. Carpenter and a few others, 
 under the guidance of the young minister, formed the first church here, the First Presbyterian, 
 of which he was chosen one of the elders. The date of the organization was June 26, 1833. Dea. 
 Carpenter wrote and circulated the first temperance pledge and delivered the first temperance 
 address. A meeting had been arranged, and a lawyer, Col. Richard J. Hamilton, engaged to 
 deliver the address, but at a late day, the lawyer declined to speak. Our pioneer hastily pre- 
 pared himself and filled the gap. 
 
 He was one of the first officers of the Chicago Bible society, founded August 18, 1835. He early 
 interested himself in the cause of education, earnestly opposing the sale of the school section in 
 Chicago, and pleaded that only alternate blocks should be put on the market. Other counsels 
 prevailed, and all Ijut four blocks of the tract, bounded north by Madison, east by State, south 
 by 12th, and west by Halsted streets, were sold for less than $40,000. But few years elapsed 
 before the 13S blocks sold were worth many millions. For ten years he was a member of the 
 
 No. 3340 ; Family 516. 
 
REHOBOTH FAMILY. 379 
 
 board of education. His connection did not cease till his removal to Aurora in 1865. On his 
 return from Europe in 1867, he found one of the palatial school-houses of the west side, at Cen- 
 tre avenue, corner West Huron street, named in his honor, the Carpenter School, for which he 
 gave $1000 as an endowment for text-books for indigent children. 
 
 The first "one-horse shay" that made its appearance in Chicago in 1834, contained Philo Carpen- 
 ter and his newly-married wife. The first dray was introduced by him ; and the first platform- 
 scales, which are now in possession of Daniel Warne of Batavia, 111., which can weigh up to 750 
 pounds ; also the first fire-proof safe. 
 
 He was one of the original members of the Third Presbyterian church, formed July 1, 1847, and 
 was one of its elders. He was one of the first corporate members of the Chicago Eye-and-Ear 
 Infirmary, and one of the founders of the Chicago Relief and Aid Society. He was the leader 
 in the formation of the First Congregational church in May, 185 1. And as that event gave him 
 special prominence in that denomination and in the country, the circumstances are worth noting.- 
 He had long been interested in the anti-slavery cause. He was a patron of the Alton Obsei'ver, 
 Elijah Parish Lovejoy's paper; he helped to establish Zebina Eastman's paper, the Western 
 Ciiisen, here in Chicago. His activity in behalf of fugitive slaves has been already mentioned. 
 He was a delegate to the Cincinnati convention, held in April, 1850, which resolved : 
 
 " That the friends of pure Christianity ought to separate themselves from all slave-holding churches 
 ecclesiastical bodies, and missionary organizations that are not fully divorced from the sin of 
 slave-holding : and we who may be still in connection with such bodies, pledge ourselves that, we 
 will, by the aid of Divine grace, conform our action in accordance with this resolution, and come 
 out from among them, unless such bodies shall speedily separate themselves from all support of 
 or fellowship with slave-holding." 
 
 He was not a man to vote for a resolution in pubhc and forget all about it in private, and as the 
 general assembly of the Presbyterian church, which met in Detroit in IVIay of that year, failed, 
 in Deacon Carpenter's view, to take right action, he led the church to adopt a minute that they 
 would not be represented in presbytery, synod, or general assembly till right action was taken. 
 This minute was, of course, entirely unpresbyterial and unconstitutonal. 
 
 Minute of the majority of the Third Presbyterian church in reference to fellowship with slave- 
 holders : "I. Resolved^ That this church holds that in the language of the scripture, God hath 
 made of one blood all nations of the earth. 2. Resolved, That chattel slavery is blasphemous 
 toward God, inhuman and cruel to our fellow-men, and that Christians are especially called on 
 to discountenance it and have no fellowship with those who participate in its abominations. 3 
 Resolved, That this church are dissatisfied with the present position of our general assembly on 
 the subject of disciphning those guilty of holding their fellow-men in bondage; that their last 
 acts at Detroit have been construed to represent black or white as suited the different sections 
 of the church. 4. Resolved, That this church, so long as this vacillating policy is pursued, 
 hereby declare their determination to stand aloof from all meetings of presbytery, synod, and 
 general assembly, and thus, as they believe free, and relieve themselves of all responsibility." 
 
 Nevertheless it was adopted by forty-eight out of sixty-eight resident members. The presbytery, 
 after giving them a little time to rescind their vote, were compelled to treat the majority as seced- 
 ers, and to recognize the minority as the Third Church — an act supposed to be ecclesiastically 
 right, although it involved turning the majority of the church out of the building they had in 
 great part erected, and to which they thought themselves justly entitled. 
 
 There was, however, an addition to the church which the Deacon had himself built for a session- 
 room, which had not been turned over to the trustees. He therefore gave notice that Divine 
 service would be conducted as usual in the session-room. 
 
 A council was soon called, and the First Congregational church of Chicago was formed. May 22, 
 1S51. The names of Philo Carpenter and Ann Carpenter stand first and second on its roll of 
 members. He was elected deacon, and retained the ofiice till he removed to Aurora, and after 
 his return was made deacon e?iierttus. 
 
 From records of the First Congregational church, Wednesday evening, July 19, 1S82. At the 
 prayer-meeting this evening, on motion duly made and seconded, the church by a rising vote 
 unanimously adopted the following. 
 
 Whereas, Our brother Philo Carpenter, has just completed fifty years of residence here, during 
 which time all that is now called Chicago, has come into existence, and all the history of the city 
 has been made ; and

 Whereas, In addition to liis public and private life and labors, for which we in common with all 
 our fellow-citizens do him honor, we desire to make grateful special mention of his relationship 
 to this church : therefore. 
 
 Resolved, That we recognize in liim the Fatlier of this church, not only as first member on its 
 records, but the one who above all others is to be regarded as its founder and its earHest bene- 
 factor and friend. 
 
 Resolved, That we put on record our appreciation of his faithfulness to principles of right which led 
 to the formation of this church, and our most heartj' congratulations that his life has been spared, 
 not only to see the feeble church of thirty years ago become the strong body it now is, but also 
 to see the nation adopt the principles he then labored and suffered for, by the putting away of 
 slavery. 
 
 Resolved, That this church in appreciation of its regard for Deacon Carpenter and of his long con- 
 nection with it, does hereby elect him Deacon Eiiieritiis for life, and the clerk is hereby in- 
 structed to forward to him a copy of this action duly attested.

 Of two wooden church edifices erected for their accommodation, largely at the expense of Deacon 
 Carpenter, one which was occasionally besmeared and called " Carpenter's nigger church," was 
 burned to the ground on a Sunday night after Rev. Joseph E. Roy, who had just come from an 
 eastern seminary, had preached in it his maiden western sermon. Whether the fire was com- 
 municated by a spark from the young man's discourse, or by an incendiary, or was purely acci- 
 dental, does not appear. The other on Green street, near West Washington, was soon outgrown 
 — Rev. Geo. W. Perkins was then the popular preacher — and a permanent house of rock-faced 
 stone was put up on the corner of West Washington and Green streets. Deacon Carpenter 
 advanced most of the money, and waited on the society many years for its repayment without 
 interest. 
 
 A little later he united with Joseph Johnston, Rev. John C. Holbrook, and Chas. Goodrich Hammond 
 in starting the first denominational paper here, the Congregational Herald. In 1853, he was one 
 of the incorporators of the Chicago Theological Seminary, and for many years one of its board 
 of directors and chairman of its executive committee. He afterward engaged with great zeal in 
 opposing secret, oath-bound societies. In early hfe, before he came west, his indignation had 
 been aroused by the abduction in western New York, of William Morgan, for publishing a little 
 book revealing the secrets of Free Masonry. The abducted man was never found or heard of 
 after, and was supposed to have been murdered. The perpetrators of the crime escaped justice, 
 and public sentiment held the Masonic fraternity responsible for their escape. Deacon Carpen- 
 ter suggested the establishment of a paper to oppose all such secret societies, and gave the money 
 for the publication of the first number of the Christian Cynos2ire, and provided headquarters 
 for the movement at a cost of $20,000. He bought for gratuitous circulation icoo copies of Fin- 
 ney's book on Masonry, and wrote and distributed tracts of his own on the subject. Few of his 
 co-laborers in other reforms partook of his zeal in this, and the methods of some of the friends 
 of the reform he could not approve, yet he continued the war undaunted while he lived, and 
 provided in his will for its continuance after his death. 
 
 Surely we have here specification enough to show that from first to last he was a grand pioneer of 
 the best things. 
 
 2. Philo Carpenter was a wise man. With rare sagacity he foresaw the future of Chicago, discern- 
 ing the great city through the small trading-post ; and his confidence never wavered. He wisely 
 bent his energies to the establishment of the most useful institutions for the coming city. His 
 sagacious forecast for this trading-post is proved by its growth in a little more than half a century 
 from two hundred souls to three-quarters of a milhon, and his judgment of the first institution 
 needed has been confirmed by the establishment of nearly three hundred Sunday-schools in it, 
 and more than four hundred in Cook County; our citizens have indorsed the church by founding 
 more than four hundred of them of all kinds. That First Congregational Church has here some 
 fifty junior sisters. The public-school has been approved by the creation of nearly one hundred 
 of those temples of learning, which are the pride of the city and the Meccas of the children. 
 The need of that temperance pledge is sadly evinced by our four thousand saloons still foolishly 
 patronized; his opinion of slavery became the opinion of the nation a quarter of a century ago.. 
 During the war. Deacon Carpenter and one of the elders who remained in the Third Church

REHOBOTH FAMILY. 381 
 
 were reading together from the bulletin at the Tribune office, when the elder, giving him his hand, 
 said: "Deacon, you were right and we were wrong." That Theological Seminary has sent out 
 more than three hundred graduates, has now more than one hundred regular students, and nine 
 professors and teachers, some of whom have obtained a national reputation. Four or five other 
 denominations have imitated the Congregationalists in their zeal for theological education in 
 this metropolis of the west. As for secret societies, though our brother "received not the prom- 
 ise," he yet "died in the faith," and we may say "the end is not yet." The Masonic fraternity 
 could not do now what it was accused of doing in 1S26, without being swept from the land by a 
 cyclone of public opinion. Who shall say that the good man could, on the whole, have more 
 wisely used his time, his strength, and his money? 
 
 3. Deacon Carpenter was an honest man. The financial crash of 1S37 found him an indorser on 
 paper of unfortunate friends. He made no effort, as is often done, to evade his responsibilities, 
 but borrowed the money and met the claims. When it became necessary to pay what he had 
 borrowed, and money could not be procured, he spread out a full schedule of all his real estate, 
 and allowed two disinterested men to select from any part of it what they deemed a fair equiva- 
 lent for the debt. It is astonishing to note how much they selected, evincing, as it did, the 
 immense depreciation of western lots and lands after 1S37, viz,\ 960 acres in Fayette county, 
 Illinois, four and a half blocks in Carpenter's Addition, half a block in the School Section, 
 three lots on Washington street near the Chamber of Commerce, and a house and lot, his 
 homestead on LaSalle street, opposite the court-house — property that was soon prized at more 
 than one million dollars — to pay a claim of SS600 ! However excessive he may have thought the 
 award, he faithfully carried out the agreement. Probably the severest thing he ever said about 
 the award was : " I should have thought they might have left me my home !" 
 
 Aly neighbor, the late James Ward, well known in connection with the public-school buildings, told 
 me : " I located in Chicago against the earnest remonstrances of my father, who thought it a 
 den of thieves, and could not believe there were any honest men here. I bought a lot of Philo 
 Carpenter and partly paid for it. My father, hesitatingly, sent me from the east money to com- 
 plete the payment. I took the amount to Mr. Carpenter. He received and counted it, then took 
 out his pencil and commenced to figure. I feared I had made some mistake, and asked him if 
 there was not enough. He replied, ' Yes ; more than enough, for there is a premium on eastern 
 money.' He computed the sum and passed it back. I wrote to my father that there was at least 
 one honest man in Chicago." 
 
 A Milwaukee lawyer, who did not know him very well, once wrote him that through a defect in 
 the conveyance he might recover possession of some property he had sold, which had greatly 
 appreciated. He came out of his office holding the letter in his hand, with that look of scorn 
 which meanness always evoked, and said to his wife : " Hear what a shyster lawyer has written 
 to me." " Well, you will pay no attention to it, of course?" she replied. " This," said he, " is my 
 answer: 'Sir, I made that sale in good faith, and in good faith it shall stand.'" 
 
 I do not find that Mr. Carpenter ever engaged in any of the questionable enterprises and specula- 
 tions that abound here. He did not lend his name to the baseless mining, banking, insurance, 
 and other schemes. He did not dabble in stocks. He was not in any combinations to corner 
 the market and force up the prices of the necessaries of life. He did not operate on the Board 
 of Trade, although, as it seems to some of us, a too lenient public sentiment tolerates there what 
 is not thought honest in the common walks of life. 
 
 He held a large amount of real estate, on which he put his own price — a higher price often than the 
 estimate of his fellow-citizens. But this is not strange for one who had his remarkable faith in 
 the future of Chicago; and who had seen those values arise from nothing. We think it not all 
 extravagant to point to him as an " Israelite, indeed, without guile." 
 
 4. Philo Carpenter was a benevolent man. Probably no object of charity, public orprivate, which 
 he deemed worthy, ever appealed to him in vain. It is impossible to estimate the amount of his 
 benefactions. They were a steady and ever-increasing stream, from the organization of that first 
 Sunday-school in 1832, to the dale of his last will and testament. No computation is known of 
 the amounts he gave to the earlier churches with which he was connected, but it it known that he 
 gave to the First Congregational Church, first and last, more than $50,000. To the Chicago 
 Theological Seminary, he had given before his death more than §60,000, and in his will made it 
 the residuary legatee of his estate, which, it is expected, will amount to not less than $50,000 more. 
 
 No. 3340; Family 516. 
 
.382 CARPENTER MEMORIAL. 
 
 To the American Home Missionary Society, the American Board, and the American Missionary 
 Association he deeded, several years ago, each a three-story brick-house on Ann Street, available 
 after his death. To the National Christian Association he had given property worth S40-ooo or 
 $50,000, and his will added $6000 to the objects it represented. Relatives and friends had been 
 freely aided during his life, and were provided for after his death. One-quarter of all his real 
 estate was given to benevolent objects in his will. As the gross amount was about §400,000, this 
 turned $ioo,coo into the channels of benevolence. 
 
 5. Philo Carpenter was a modest man. He was always unassuming. He never put himself for- 
 ward. When there were reproaches to meet and trials to bra\e, or burdens to carry he never 
 was found in the rear ; but when there were honors to gain he never crowded to the front. While 
 a member of the board of education, he declined the presidency, and could be prevailed upon to 
 accept only the vice-presidency. He never was elected to a civil office, and never ran for any. 
 
 In the church, though its founder and wealthiest member, he never sought to control, never claimed 
 any superiority over the poorest of his brethren. I can emphatically say that in all my inter- 
 course with him I was never once made to feel that I was the poor man and he was the million- 
 aire. Where no principle was at stake he was deferential to others, polite, courteous — in short 
 the true Christian gentleman. 
 
 Smaller matters can illustrate great principles. When Philo Carpenter and his little band met a 
 presbytery to whom ecclesiastically they were amenable, and who, backed by all the authority of 
 the great general assembly of the Presbyterian Church of the United States of America, 
 declared them " disqualified to act as members of the Presbyterian church, and no longer to 
 be recognized as such," and his friends were wondering how they should avert or survive the 
 terrible blow, they must have been astounded when he arose and calmly announced : " Divine 
 service will be held in session room next Sunday at the usual hour.'' It might well have been 
 said at that moment, '-This litrie band has a great leader." For that simple notice was stronger 
 than the whole general assembly. 
 
 7. Yet withal he was a man of peace. Radically as he differed from men, and earnestly as he 
 sought reforms, he had no personal quarrels. The entire absence of litigation during his long 
 life is proof of his pacific disposition. He never sued a man, and he never was sued but twice 
 in his life. One of them was about a dog, and the plaintiff was non-suited. 
 
 Sometimes, indeed, Mr. Carpenter was supposed to be deficient in business enterprise— especially 
 that he did not impr jve more of his property, and provide himself with a greater income. But 
 listen a moment to his own explanation : '• I can't get money enough ahead, besides paying my 
 taxes and assessments, to erect many buildings, for as soon as anything comes in, somebody 
 wants it for a church, for a college, or for a seminary ; or some friend gets into trouble and wants 
 help in meeting a note, or releasing a farm from mortgage ; or there comes some special appeal 
 for our benovelent societies who are in the straights, and the money seems imperatively needed 
 elsewhere." In the later years of his life he made more improvements, but still left much unim- 
 proved property. 
 
 Philo Carpenter was sometimes called " a man of one idea," but the record we have rehearsed 
 shows, we think, several ideas — as many, indeed, as most men have, and all good ones. They 
 might perhaps all be reduced to the "one idea"— that grand one of loyalty to the right, loj'alty 
 to God and humanity. Oh ! that we had many more such men with "one idea." He was some- 
 times called "an extreme man." If that means that he was in the front rank of progress, at 
 the head of God's marching columns, we accept it as true, and no reproach, but a great honor. 
 
 Without such men how could there be any advance in the church or the world? Events have 
 proved that he was only ahead of his generation. Almost every one of his positions, once thought 
 extreme, have been reached and occupied by his brethren and his fellow-citizens. 
 
 But the good man was far from thinking himself perfect, and he would be the first to frown upon 
 us if we should presume to represent him as without fault. We will only quote the closing 
 -sentence of the minute adopted by the First Congregational Church soon after his decease: 
 "Without claiming perfection for our brother, we would rejoice in the invaluable legacy to this 
 church of his faith and life, and praise our God that by His grace. No. i on our rolls, went in and 
 out before a great and wicked city for half a century and left a record unstained." 
 
 Deacon Carpenter was a man of commanding presence, in stature about six feet high; not being 
 corpulent and continuing erect to the end of his life he seemed even taller. His normal weight

 was about one hundred and seventy-five pounds. He had a Hght complexion, dark brown hair, 
 a mild blue eye, a countenance singularly benignant, pure, and inspiring confidence. No one 
 could see him and not trust him. As he never drank into.xicants, nor used narcotics, there were 
 no blotches to mar his face, which grew more serene and heavenly to the last. 
 
 The afflictions which deprived him of his wife, and reduced his seven children to two, and brought 
 severe illness upon him, diminished his strength and made him in his last years somewhat averse 
 to society. He did not appear much in public, but as long as enough strength remained he 
 attended public worship and retained to the last his interest in "the dear old First Church," as 
 he lovingly called it. An affection which the church reciprocated, as we have said by making 
 him Deacon Emeritus. 
 
 The Chicago Congregational Club, the first year of its existence, 1S83, elected him an honorary 
 member, "in recognition," of his more than fifty years of residence in this city, of his leadership 
 in its early religious enterprises, of his faithfulness to the cause of freedom when it costs greatly 
 to be faithful, and especially in grateful recognition not only of his being the first member of our 
 First Church, but of his being the father of Congregationalism in this city. ' 
 
 "The Chicago Congregational Club, March 21, 18S3. 
 
 Dea. Philo Carpenter, Dear Sir : — 
 
 At the meeting of the club last evening, at the suggestion of the executive 
 committee, the following was adopted : 
 
 Resolved, That in recognition of his more than fifty years of residence in this city, of his leader- 
 ship in its early religious enterprises, of his faithfulness to the cause of freedom — when it cost 
 greatly to be faithful, and especially in grateful recognition not only of his being the first mem- 
 ber of our First Church but of his being the father of Congregationahsm in this city we do hereby 
 elect Dea. I^hilo Carpenter an honorary member of this club. 
 J. W. Sykes, Secretary. C. G. Hajimond, President. 
 
 On the fiftieth anniversary of his arrival in Chicago, July i8, 1882, a large number of our citizens 
 called at his residence to do him honor. His death, August 7, 18S6, resulted from a severe cold 
 taken some time previously, terminating in congestion of the lungs. His body was embalmed 
 and the funeral was postponed till August 15, awaiting the arrival from California of his daughter, 
 Mrs. llev. Edward Hildreth. 
 
 In the absence of Rev. Dr. Goodwin, the pastor, funeral was conducted by Rev. Dr. Franklin \V. 
 Fisk of the Chicago Theological Seminary, assisted by Rev. Drs. Flavel Bascom, and Joseph E. 
 Roy, and Rev. H. L. Hammond. The deacons of the church were pall-bearers, with E. W. 
 Blatchford, CarUsle Mason, Judge William W. Farwell, Dr. John H. HoUister, and Professors 
 Hugh M. Scott and James R. Dewey, honorary pall-bearers. A very large congregation was in 
 attendance, including especially the old residents of Chicago. The services were short, as a 
 further memorial service was anticipated after the return of the pastor. They included, however, 
 the reading of a very cordial appreciative letter from the First Presbyterian Church, of which 
 Mr. Carpenter, as already told, was one of the founders and first elders, and the singing of a 
 touching hymn that had been a favorite of Mr. Carpenter, of which a manuscript copy was found 
 in his memorandum book after his death : 
 
 "This is not my place of resting. 
 
 Mine's a city yet to come ; 
 Onward to it I am hasting, 
 
 On to my eternal hoire. 
 
 In it all is light and glory, 
 
 O'er it shines a niglitless day, 
 Every trace of sin's sad story, 
 
 All the curse hath passed away. 
 
 There the Lamb our Shepherd leads us 
 
 By the stream of life along, 
 On the freshest pastures feeds us, 
 
 Turns our sighing into song. 
 
 Soon we pass this desert dreary, 
 
 Soon we bid farewell to pain. 
 Never more are sad or weary, 
 
 Never, never, sin again."

 The appointed memorial service held by the pastor after his return, early in September. Text 
 Prov. \' : 7. ■' The memory of the just is blessed." His sermon on that occasion was extensively 
 reported in the papers. 
 
 The mortal remains of this pioneer, Sunda)--school superintendent, church founder, deacon, aboli- 
 tionist, reformer, philanthropist, and Christian brother, sleep in Graceland, but his spirit, who 
 can doubt, is with the blessed on high. 
 
 ■His estate was valued at, personalities Sioo,ooo ; real estate from 5400,000 to 5500,000. The personal 
 estate is to be divided between his two daughters and the children of a third; the real estate is 
 to be divided into four equal parts, three of which are to be given to the heirs, and the fourth, 
 after taking out some legacies, among which are S500 each to his old friends, Revs. Jeremiah 
 Porter and Flavel Bascom, D. D.. is to be devoted to religious and educational work as follows :

 The daughters, i\Irs. William W. Cheney of Chicago, and Airs. Rev. Edward Hildreth of Los 
 Angeles, California, now have the pleasure of personally presenting a bronze bust of their father. 
 The cast for this bust was taken after his death by Lorado Taft of this city. From it one of 
 marble, made in Paris, has been already presented to the Chicago Theological Seminary. This 
 of bronze was cast by the American Bronze Company of Grand Crossing, Hyde Park, and is 
 certainly a creditable work of art that will be recognized at once by all who ever knew Deacon 
 Carpenter. 
 
 A few extracts from the Biographical Sketches of the Leading Me/i of Chicago, 1875. 
 
 Mr. Carpenter was always an open, zealous, fearless advocate of what he believed to be the right; his 
 convictions were ever on the side of liberty ; his efforts were in behalf of progress ; his time and 
 money were ever at command to aid in spreading the truth, or in assisting the oppressed. While 
 in Troy, he made a profession of religion, and united with the church under care of Dr. Beaman 
 in that city. Arriving in Chicago he joined with eight other citizens and twenty-live members of 
 the garrison to found the first Presbyterian church and society under the charge of Rev. Jeremiah 
 Porter, and was elected elder of the first meeting held June 26, 1S33. He was among the first 
 to stand out boldly in defence of the doctrine of universal freedom, and spent years of val- 
 uable time and much money in the anti-slavery cause, when it was the reverse of popular to be 
 know as an " abolitionist." Many a poor fugitive from the slave driver's lash met with invaluable 
 assistance from him at a time when it was scarcely safe to be suspected of meddling with the 
 "peculiar institution.'' Indeed his zealous adherance to the cause of the oppressed was the oc- 
 casion of sundering his connection with the church of which he had been one of the earhest and 
 ablest supporters. We give the sketch of the action of the time as a valuable leaf in the history 
 of the freedom movement in Chicago. 
 
 The third Presbyterian church, with which he was then in fellowship, believing that the position 
 taken by the general assembly on the subject of human slavery was inconsistent and retrogres- 
 sive, began to feel restive under their forced connection aud fellowship with slaveholders, some 
 apologizing for the system, and others defending it. Early in 1851 the following resolutions were 
 presented at a meeting of the society, and were adopted by forty-eight out of a resident member- 
 ship of si.xty-eight : 
 
 1st. Resolved, That this church hold, that, in the language of scripture, '■ God hath made of one 
 blood all nations of the earth." 
 
 2d. Kesol-.'cd, That chattel slavery is blasphemous towards God, inhuman and cruel to our fellow- 
 men : and that Christians are especially called upon to discountenance it, and have no fellowship 
 with those who participate in its abomination. 
 3d. J\csoI-<'Ld, That this church is dissatisfied with the present position of our general assembly 
 
 No. 3340; Family 516. 
 
REHOBOTH FAMILY. 385 
 
 on the subject of disciplining those guilty of holding their fellow men in bondage ; that their last 
 acts at Detroit have been construed to represent black or white, as suited the different sections 
 of the church. 
 
 4th. Resolved, That this church, so long as this vacillating policy is pursued, hereby declare their 
 determination to stand aloof from all meetings of Presbytery, Synod and Assembly, and thus, as 
 they believe, free and relieve themselves of all responsibility. 
 
 (This action was complained of to the Presbytery, and that body placed the following actions upon 
 its records : 
 
 ist. That those members of this church who voted for said resolution, did thereby, and by sub- 
 sequently neglecting to rescind said resolution, disqualify themselves to act as members of the 
 Presbyterian church, and can no longer be recognized as such vifhile retaining their present pos- 
 ition. 
 
 2d. That the session consisting of the pastor and those elders who did not vote for the resolution 
 referred to, immediately inform those who have thus separated themselves from the church, that 
 if any of them still wish to walk in fellowship with this church, under the constitution of the 
 Presbyterian church, that wish shall be granted. 
 
 3d. That all who do not express such wish within two weeks, be regarded as adhering to their 
 previous action, and the session be directed to strike their names from the roll of the church.) 
 
 Deprived thus of the religious privileges, the excluded members cast about for some other church 
 organization, more republican in its form of government. They chose that adopted by the Pur- 
 itan fathers, who in organizing " a state without a king, and a church without a bishop," left an 
 example which they thought worthy to be honored, and imitated by their descendants. On May 
 22, 1S51, the first Congregational church of Chicago was formed, holding its meetings on Wash- 
 ington street, between Halsted and Union. Mr. Carpenter was one of the principal movers in 
 the organization. During the years which have since elapsed he has been permitted to witness 
 its growth to a membership of nearly one thousand persons, and to the proud position of mother 
 to twenty-four Congregational churches now in the city and suburbs. The completeness of the 
 revolution in popular opinion during that short period of twenty-four years, is shown in the fact that 
 principles then so unpopular as to call forth the anathemas of the church, even to the excommun- 
 ication of those conscientiously holding them, have now prevailed so mightily, as to have been 
 successfully vindicated, almost within the first decade after their enunciation, and recognized as 
 legitimate, not only by branches of the Christian church, but also by the governments of the 
 civilized world. Mr. Carpenter was not only a prominent member of the newly formed church, 
 but a liberal one. 
 
 Dating from the erection of the first edifice on Washington street near Union (constructed largely 
 at his own expense,) including also the building of the stone structure on the corner of Green and 
 Washington, 1854, and extending to the completion of the magnificent church on the corner of 
 Washington and Ann streets, ever memorable for its occupancy by the city government, as well 
 as the inauguration there of the relief work for the sufferers at the time of the great fire of 1871, 
 the known contributions of Mr, Carpenter to the church and society during this time aggregated 
 over fifty thousand dollars, ($50,000) not to mention various other donations that would consider- 
 ably increase that sum. 
 
 Among other reforms, which as outgrowths of his religious principles have found in Mr. Carpen- 
 ter an earnest advocate, that of temperance early engaged his attention, and on his arrival 
 here, he at once began his labors in this behalf, circulating the first total abstinence pledge in Chi- 
 cago, he secured the signatures of several of the most prominent citizens, together with those 
 of two officers of the garrison, and one Indian chief, who at least for the time being, put aside 
 his bottle of firewater. One gentleman, still a resident of Chicago, signed with the reservation, 
 " wine excepted," but what is rarely the case, has lived even better than he wrote, being still a 
 firm friend and advocate of total abstinence. It is worthy of remark here that as a result of the 
 interest awakened, an arrangement was made in the fall of 1S32 for a public temperance meeting 
 at the log building of Kev. Jesse Walker, at which Col. R. J. Hamilton was expected to make 
 the principal address, but at a late hour declining to do so, rather than allow a failure, Mr. Car- 
 penter prepared and delivered the first temperance address, so far as is known, ever delivered in 
 Chicago. For years he vv'as an active worker in the cause, though in common with many other 
 
 ^'o- 334°; Fajiily 516.

 earnest temperance men strongly protested against the secret organizations for this object, believ- 
 ing it better promoted through open associations. 
 
 And this suggests the direction of Mr. Carpenter's later efforts in the cause of reform. Under the 
 conviction that any organization that must needs enforce concealment of its purposes and meth- 
 ods by sworn secrecy, must be out of harmony with and inimical to the open Bible, sound morals 
 or a free Republic. 
 
 He is now well in years (1875) but young in heart and erect in form as ever, though his head is 
 silvered with the frosts of age. He is one of the few men who have no enemies, though his 
 course has always been independent as well as upright. He has been a hard worker, but has 
 operated quietly, and none of those who knew him the most intimately ever appreciated the 
 extent of his exertions till they saw the fruit of his labors. 
 
 In closing this account of the philanthropist we wish to add the account of an interesting incident 
 which occurred at the triennial convention of the alumni a short time before he died. "Refer- 
 ence having been made by Professor Fisk to the beginning of that grand ' aggregation of good 
 giving' to the seminary in the $20,000 given by Deacon Philo Carpenter as a 'starter' for the 
 professorship endowment fund, all eyes began searching the room to see if the venerable phil- 
 anthropist was present, whereupon the demand arose that he be presented to the body. With a 
 common impulse of reverence all rose to their feet before the venerable man. And there stood, 
 now leaning like Jacob upon his staff, the man who started the first Sunday-school, and helped 
 organize the first church, in Chicago, iifty-one years ago.''

 a small town 2S miles west of Chicago, where he lived and brought up his family ; he and his 
 family were members of the Baptist church. His wife, Sarah L. Warren, was born in Fredonia, 
 Chautauqua Co., N. Y.; she taught school in Chicago, both select and district, from i\Iarch, 
 1834 until she was married in 1836.

 missing his trail on a mountain in Mendocino County and despairing of finding his way out, com- 
 mitted suicide to avoid the sufferings of a hngering death. This is the statement which he 
 made in a letter that has since been found, giving directions for the settlement of his affairs. 
 His body was found in a river with a stone tied to it and a bullet wound in the head. The pack-

 " Last Saturday evening, Jan. 22,(i88i)was the fiftieth anniversary of the marriage of Alonzo Osborne 
 and Nancy Carpenter. A large number of invited guests assembled at the Osborne homestead, 
 and gave themselves up to the enjoyment of the occasion. The company comprised people of 
 all ages, from men and women far past the prime of life to little children just beginning to walk. 
 The rooms were tastefully arranged, above the mantle in the front room were the words, 'Osborne 
 — Carpenter ' in large letters ; below these were ' 1831 — 1S81' in black and in green moss; below 
 these was the marriage certificate of Mr. and iVIrs. Osborne; in one corner of the room was the 
 coat-of-arms of the Carpenters, Mrs. Osborne being a lineal descendant of an old EngHsh family. 
 There were portraits of Mr. Osborne's family, and other appropiate decorations. 
 
 Jesse Osborne, the oldest son, and the only one now living was present, with a portion of his fam- 
 ily. Mary, the youngest child ' the baby ' now the wife of John Hood, was present with her 
 family. Martha still remains with the old folks. She possesses a good share of artistic genius 
 and some beautiful specimens of her handiwork adorned the walls. Lorin Osborne, whose por- 
 trait hung in the room, was one of the finest violinists we ever heard. He has been dead more 
 than a score of years. Lucien, whose portrait hung near, was also a fine instrumental musician. 
 He died many years ago. Then there was the portrait of Orlando, who was the finest male vocal 
 musician, perhaps, whom Jackson ever possessed. He was also a fine violinist. He served in 
 the army during the Rebellion. He died about 1870 or 1871. 
 
 Alonzo Osborne looked a very little, if any older than he did twenty years ago. He is the same 
 sprightly, talkative pleasant gentleman that he has always been during our recollection of him, 
 which covers a period of perhaps, twenty-five years. Mrs. Osborne is looking somewhat feeble 
 with age, but is exceedingly gay and light hearted still among her friends. At tlie party on Sat- 
 urday evening, some friend presented Mrs. Osborne with a pair of gold-framed spectacles adjust- 
 ing them to her eyes, she hastily turned to where Mr. Osborne was standing, with the remark : ' I 
 want to look at him with them first' Some friend laughingly inquired if he looked as sweet to 
 her as he did fifty years ago. Her answer was prompt and emphatic : ' Yes, Just as sweet :' What 
 a beautiful example of the constancy of the human heart. 
 
 The aged couple were the recipients of numerous beautiful presents, among which was a purse of 
 gold, a dollar for each year of their married life. This was presented by Ex-Senator Dugan, 
 in a neat speech : 
 
 ' We like Alonzo Osborne. We like him because he is a good citizen, a good neighbor ; we like 
 him because he is a true friend, and a kind parent ; we like him, because upon all the great ques- 
 tions affecting the welfare of his country, he has always been found advocating the right; we 
 like him because in his walk and conversation he ever attempts to scatter sunshine about him 
 and to make those happy with whom he is thrown in contact ; we like him for many other reasons 
 we might name. And we may add that Mrs. Osborne is a fit companion for such a man.'

 We could not avoid reflecting as we sat in Mr. Osborne's pleasant home, that it must be exceed- 
 ingly gratifying to the aged couple to observe the great crowd of their friends and neighbors 
 who called to offer congratulations, and our wayward muse wandered off in this manner ; 
 
 ' Back through the dai-kening mazes of the past, 
 
 Fondly to-nio;ht, imagination strolls, 
 To where the light of love, its first rays cast, 
 
 With glad effect on these two human souls. 
 
 For fifty years their lamp of love has burned, 
 
 For fifty years with never-varying flame ; 
 Each time the "anniversary" returned 
 
 To find the love in these two hearts the same. 
 
 A common life-time o'er life's troubled way, 
 
 A life-time with its mingled joy and pain ; 
 The scores of friends who gather 'round to-day 
 
 Prove that the years have not been spent in vain. 
 
 The frosts of age, thick settling on their heads, 
 
 Bear witness that our friends are growing old ; 
 Let us to-night conceal the silver threads. 
 
 By hiding them beneath a crown of gold.' " 
 
 Martha Osborne furnished the compiler with the genealogy of the descendants of William Car- 
 penter, No. 629 ; she was much interested in the work, and is deserving the thanks of all inter- 
 ested in the Carpenter family. Her name is deserving a prominent notice. She wrote in one 
 of her letters to the compiler that her mother at the age of 69 years was as active and with as 
 clear a mind as a woman of 30 ; and that so far they had always bsen proud of her name, that 
 nothing could be more prized by her children than a record of the pedigree of her family.

 3475. I. Frederick was b. Jan. 6, 1766; m. Eunice Burrows, Nov. 5, 1788 or (963) 
 
 1789. He d. Feb. 26, 182 i. His wife was b. in ^^'estern, now U'ar- 
 ren, Mass., March 11, 1769, and d. Oct. 5, 1855, at Ischua, Cattaraugus 
 county, N. Y. Residence, Warren, Mass. 
 
 He served in the war of 1812 as captain. There is no doubt but that Frederick was the youngest 
 son of his father Uriah's first wife; and probably the only son he had by her. Caroline Putnam, 
 a grand-daughter of Frederick, states that she gathered the impression somehow that he had no 
 full brother or sister and that he was the youngest and was much indulged by the family. When 
 he first became acquainted with his wife he was captain of a mihtary company and was one of 
 the most gallant, dashing young niien of the day. He frequently rode the gentle, and beauti- 
 ful Arabian horse owned by General Eaton, which he took home with him from the war. Gen- 
 eral Eaton was a cousin to Frederick and they were very intimate and close friends. Frederick 
 was delighted in riding the horse. She (Caroline) states that she had often heard her mother and 
 grandmother speak of this beautiful horse and that General Eaton would ride him up the stairs 
 of the house, which would frighten them very much. 
 
 Extracts from a letter from Lucius M. Boltwood of New Haven, Conn., dated Oct. 21, 1S79; 
 
 " A correspondent at the west writes me that lier greatgrandfather, Noah or Uriah Carpenter born 
 about 1730 married Nancy Loomis, and resided in Stafford, Conn. All she tells me of their fam- 
 ily is, that they had a son Frederick, born Jan. 6, 1766, who married about 1789, Eunice Burrows 
 and resided at Western, now Warren, RLass. and died about 1S21. Frederick enlisted into the 
 service of the Revolutionary war as we find in Colonel Canfield's regiment at West Point, Sept. 
 1781. His residence then was stated to be Union, Conn.

 residence, Surry, N. H. A farmer. 
 
 Benjamin Carpenter has a cane in his possession ; the tradition is, it was brought from England 
 by the first emigrant Benjamin Carpenter and handed down in the line of Benjamins. The cane 
 is about one inch in diameter at the top and about three-fourths of an inch at the lower end, and 
 weighs six oz. with a nicely wrought silver knob on the upper end on which is engraved 
 B. C. 1660 and is nicely cut. By a casual observer it would be called a turned cane ; but by a 
 more careful examination it will prove to be of natural growth ; the name of wood unknown. 
 
 The date 1660 would indicate that Benjamin Carpenter No. 34 brought the cane from Rehoboth, 
 IVIass, (as he was born in 1663) to Coventry, Conn. 
 
 New England we find is frequently called England in the family when they have moved from Mass- 
 achusetts to another state. 
 
 The above mentioned cane is now in possession of Frank Benjamin Carpenter of Providence, R. 1.

 A copy of a letter to the compiler ; (dated April i o, 1 848) as follows : Th ere h ave been other branches 
 
 of the Carpenter family that have settled in Stafford, Conn., viz : 
 A Nathan Carpenter came here about 1760 and died about 1808; he had two sons Benjamin and 
 
 Ezra ; none of this family is now here. Daniel Carpenter with a large family lived here about 
 
 1770 to 1780. My grandfather with whom I lived knew of no connection with either, and there 
 
 was no claim of relationship by either family. 
 The tradition through my grandfather and uncles was that three brothers came over from the 
 
 north of England; one of them settled at Salem, IVIass.; one in Rehoboth, Mass.; and the other 
 
 returned to England and died on his return passage. 
 William Carpenter of Providence did ist stop at Salem, 2d William did settle in Rehoboth; the 
 
 father did return to England, but have no account of his death.

 Mrs. Jenkins was for many years a missionary connected with the Hanson Place Baptist church in 
 Brooklyn, N. Y. Mark educated himself by teaching school winters and working summers ; he en- 
 tered Amherst College in 1826 and remained there for three years, then entered Union College and 
 graduated in 1S30. He immediatly entered the Theological Seminary at Newton, Mass. In 
 1833 he was ordained at Milford, N. H. as a Calvinistic Baptist. Before he became of age he 
 had but three months' schooling ; on attaining his majority, he set to work in earnest to acquire 
 an education. At the age of twenty-four he experienced the renewing grace of God. He was 
 baptized by Rev. Elisha Andrews in Pelham, Mass. April, 1S27, and was licensed to preach not 
 long after by the Baptist church in Northampton, Mass. All together, he spent five years in the 
 Academy and College at Amherst, taking his last year and graduating at Union College, Sche- 
 nectady, N. Y. in 1830. After a three years' course at Newton Theological Institution, he set- 
 tled in Milford, N. H., where he was ordained Feb. 26, 1834. After a prosperous pastorate in 
 Milford of six and a half years during which 97 persons were added to that church, besides 
 twenty-four, at least baptized by him into fellowship, with churches in other towns. He was 
 induced to remove to Keene, where he labored nearly five years, baptizing sixty and receiving by 
 letter over thirty members. His next settlement was in New London, N. H., where he did his 
 hiest to overcome old difiiculties, but with only partial success. After fouryears he resigned, and 
 entered the service of the New Hampton Institution, as financial agent for one year. Near the 
 ■close of 1849 he took charge of the First Baptist Church in Holyoke, Mass., where he spent 
 nearly ten years in pleasant and useful labor. This was followed by a pastorate of five years 
 and ten months in Brattleboro, Vt.; he here labored with a good degree of success, winning the 
 esteem and confidence of the whole community. During his pastorate, fifty-five persons were 
 added to the church, of whom he baptized thirty-one. He afterwards labored for two years in

 West Dummerston, and seven years in South Windham. In March, 1875, being in his seventy- 
 third year and feehng that he could not with safety to his health attend neighborhood evening 
 meetings and do the full work of a pastor, he finally resigned his position and removed to 
 Townsend, Vt. For two years and a half, while living in Townsend, he again supphed the church 
 in West Dummerston, and from time to time as opportunity offered, he rejoiced to preach that 
 which he believed with his whole heart, to be "the everlasting gospel." On Thursday evening 
 he conducted a regular church prayer meeting, making earnest remarks upon the words, " Lord, 
 what wilt thou have me to do?" He was to have preached for the Townsend church on the 
 Sabbath. During the night watches Friday night, he was preaching he said, for two hours. 
 
 He left no dying messages, nor were they needed. But his words, dictated from a bed of pain, to 
 the Baptist ministers of New Hampshire, but a few days before his death, are not inappropriate 
 to this occasion: " Never despair. When I entered the ministry in New Hampshire, fifty years 
 ago, dark clouds seemed to be overhanging the cause. But by God's blessing on the faithful 
 labors of the men of that day, the clouds soon rolled away, and a rich blessing descended upon 
 the churches. So I look for still richer blessings in the future.'' 
 
 Mr. Carpenter was a man of more than ordinary ministerial ability and moral worth. By nature 
 he was at once resolute and gentle. If he ever seemed timid, it was because he feared to do 
 wrong. If over-cautious, it was lest he might err. If ever severe, it was in the interest of jus- 
 tice and truth. If ever too gentle, it was for fear of being unkind. If ever too earnest, it was 
 the fire of devotion to his Master's cause that burned in his heart and bore him on. He was 
 pre-eminently just, and yet patient towards the shortcomings of other men. He could exact of 
 himself what perhaps he could not so severely require of others. If these seem to be the char- 
 acteristics of the Christian gentleman in all instances, all who knew him will readily confess 
 that he did indeed possess these quahties in a very high degree. As a preacher, he was strong, 
 careful to express the whole truth, but without perversion of the message for any unworthy 
 effect; clear, with a more than common sense of tlie riches of spiritual life enfolded in the truth; 
 forcible, and with an earnestness beyond his power to express in words, firing his utterance at 
 times with flashes of electric force, or melting his own and the hearts of others to tears. He 
 understood the simple doctrines of grace, knew well the power of sin to curse, and of the cross 
 to save, and was bent upon making men see what he already knew, and receive what alone could 
 bless them. If there was any narrowness in the range of his preaching, it was the narrowness 
 of the apostle who was determined to know nothing in his ministry but Christ and Him crucified. 
 
 As a pastor. Father Carpenter was perliaps at his best; he was wise, careful, patient, faithful, 
 gentle, persistently good. Here, the best elements of his cliaracter showed themselves. He 
 knew how to illustrate the charity of the gospel by being scrupulously just and kind ; and when 
 all his endeavors to win and save and bless the wayward and willful seemed in vain, still to be 
 kind and faithful in his ministrations, counting it nothing to suffermisunderstandingandunkind- 
 ness himself, if only his Master's truth might be honored, and his Master's little ones served. 
 He was therefore a successful pastor. The churches were strengthened by his ministry, made 
 stronger in the unity of brotherly love, and increased by the ingathering of renewed souls. If 
 ever his efforts failed through the hardness of the hearts of those who resisted them, he left 
 with them at least the memory of a good man and faithful pastor whom they could not but 
 respect and love, even if they would not listen to his counseL Wherever, therefore, he has 
 labored, he has left the fragrance of a holy life to bless the generations that follow him. To 
 the service of the gospel in foreign lands he gave special attention, and his largest gifts of labor 
 and money, and counted it a crowning joy of his life that he could give a son, his eldest born, 
 to this blessed far-away service. 
 
 Rev. Mark Carpenter, widely known and honored in New England as an able and successful 
 pastor, died at his residence in Townsend, "\'t., on Monday, Nov. 13, 1SS2, after a brief illness of 
 two days. Though he had passed his eightieth birthday, he had retained the vigor of youth in 
 a very remarkable degree. It was a common thing until within a very short time of his death 
 to see him engaged in severe manual labor, or riding horseback at full canter with the erect and 
 firm carriage of a military officer. During the week before he died he had written a sermon in 
 expectation of supplying the vacant pulpit of the Baptist church in Townsend. But a few 
 weeks ago, by the breaking of a limb of an apple tree into which he had climbed, he was thrown 
 violently to the ground and badly injured. He had apparently recovered from this injury, so as

 to be at work again out of doors, and he pronounced, himself, with his wonted courage, as well 
 as ever. But on Saturday, the effects of internal injury showed themselves, and he sank sud- 
 denly into a semi-comatose condition, from which he did not rally. 
 Judge Stoddard conducted the funeral, and six Baptist ministers of New Hampshire and Vermont 
 served as bearers. Prayer was ofiered at the house by Rev. H. C. Leavitt of South London- 
 derry. Prayer was offered at the church by Rev. P. M. Butler, late pastor of the church in 
 Townsend, of which IVIr. Carpenter was a member, who also conducted the services at the grave.

 The compiler finds by a paper in his possession, in the hand-writing of Harvey Carpenter, that he 
 was born in Cornish, N. H., March 12, 1784, and removed with his parents to Strafford about 
 1786, thence to Hanover in 1796. He states that he has heard his father, Nathaniel, say that on 
 account of the severity- of the weather before they became estabhshed in Strafford, Mrs. Car- 
 penter was obhged to wrap her infant in blankets, and sit with it in her arms while the men were 
 preparing a rude habitation for their protection against the severity of the weather. Their 
 sufferings were intense during the ten years of their stay in this region of woodland and moun- 
 tains. Harvey labored on the farm in Strafford with his father until called to take a position as 
 clerk in a store on College Plain in Hanover; after which service he was employed in the same 
 capacity by Samuel Alden, M. D., a graduate of Dartmouth college, and a merchant for many 
 years in Hanover. He was admitted a member of the Congregational church at Hanover, Aug. 
 9, 1819. 
 
 While unmarried, Mr. Harvey Carpenter and j\liss Anna S. Ormsted of Bradford, Vt. were 
 brought into social and business relations with a Madam Susan Smith, widow of John Smith, 
 D. D. These relations were closed with Mrs. Smith by the marriage of Mr. Carpenter to Miss 
 Ormsted, and he engaged on his own account in the mercantile business in Hanover, occupying 
 a store in the well known ■' Tontine," a block on College Plain. After having been in the mer- 
 cantile business for several years, he removed to Vermont, but having become an invahd, he 
 returned from Vermont to Hanover, N. H., where he had previously spent about 30 years of his 
 life. He died there Sept. 23, 1851, aged 67 years, 6 months and 9 days. His remains were depos- 
 ited in the Carpenter lot in the burying-ground on College Plain. His wife, Anna S. died June 
 8, 1875, aged 78 years, 4 months and 28 days.

 Mr. Carpenter was publicly known in the city of Providence for many years as the remover of 
 liuildings and earned a great reputation for success in this department of mechanical labor as 
 he was frequently called into other towns and cities in the performance of this difficult and 
 sometimes dangerous worl<. He was well-known in business circles and very few men were 
 more highly respected by their associates; he was also for many years a member of the com- 
 mon council, and there, as everywhere else his sound judgment and almost unequaled industry 
 won for him an excellent reputation. He was elected a representative to the legislature, where 
 he acquitted himself to the complete satisfaction of his fellow citizens. He was a member of the 
 Central Baptist church for many years and no one ever questioned the sincerity of his profession.

 Amelia Davie (Blanding) Bicknell was born in Rehoboth, Mas.s,, of Pilgrim ancestry, the Bland- 
 ings and Carpenters from whom she .sprang coming to America about 1640. She received an 
 excellent education in the public schools and at Wheaton female seminary in Norton, Mass., 
 after which she taught in the public schools of her native state until her marriage in i860. 
 Mrs. Bicknell united with the Congregational church in 1S33. She was not only an exemplary 
 member of Christ's church, but a diligent, earnest and joyful worker in promoting all of the great 
 ends for which the church stands. In Harvard church, Dorchester, she was profoundly interested, 
 and gave, together with Mr. Bicknell, time, work and means abundantly to its founding and 
 strengthening. She was a constant and effective helper in every good word and work in the 
 church and out of it up to the measure of her strength, and sometimes beyond it. She was for 
 several years president of the auxiliary of the Woman's Board of the Second church, Dorches- 
 ter, and organized and conducted a young ladies' mission circle in that church until the found- 
 ing of Harvard church in "1887, to which she transferred her active service. Her interest in 
 missions was perennial. She was diligent and resourceful in plans for aiding this cause so near 
 to her heart. Many a box filled with good things for the workers in foreign and home fields 
 went out under her initiative and superintendence. Her enthusiasm was contagious and she 
 soon gathered about her a company of kindred spirits. Her spirit was gently taken out of its 
 earthly embodiment just as the light was opening the day of Aug. 13. " Rest and heaven " were 
 the last chstinguishable words she breathed forth, and it seemed like a repetition of the words 
 of the heavenly wrestler with Jacob to the patriarch. " Let me go. for the day breaketh." 
 Thomas W. Bicknell was born in Barrington, R. I., Sept. 6, 1S34, son of .Allen and grandson of 
 Joshua Bicknell. He has served in various state, educational and business capacity some of

 Extracts from his funeral sermon, by Rev. Thomas Weston : " He being dead, yet speal<eth." — 
 Hebrews 11:4. 
 
 " And in tliis sad moment, tlie memory of tlie past brings a mournful pleasure, assuaging the bit- 
 terness of our grief. He, whose dust we commit to earth as it was, whose spirit has returned to 
 God who gave" it — lie was a good man. This, simple as it is, is the greatest praise which can be 
 bestowed on a fellow mortal. You, my friends, who gather here 'weeping with those who weep,' 
 bear me witness that I speak only plain, unvarnished truth. He was a good man. A few years 
 knowledge of his upright course has taught me what a life among you of nearly a half of a cen- 
 tury has graven upon your hearts. True to every call of dutj- — ever ready to render aid when 
 that was sought — and more than that, ever bestowing sympathy and kindness unsought — just in 
 all his dealings — conscientious in all things — he was a pattern alike of public virtue and of pri- 
 vate worth. Was it not so? You have seen his long and useful life. You know the worth of 
 that character he has borne for so many years — you have appreciated his professional services, 
 and there is hardly one of us to whom he has not come, the messenger of mercy. He is no more: 
 ' He, who by his skill saved others, has at last become the victim of disease and death.' And 
 while I mark your sympathizing looks, as I knov/ that you are now treasuring up the memory of 
 his virtues, may I ask if he is not still speaking. 1 need not dwell upon this point, for you will 
 not fail to do justice to a character which has been for years an example in your midst. 
 
 But if one word of private feeling may be pardoned, suffer me to say in passing that I, too, have 
 lost a dear and valued friend. In the few ) ears of our acquaintance, I had learned to trust in 
 him, and now as I come to these last sad offices, it is not alone in obedience to the command of 
 Jesus that I mingle my tears with those of the mourning ones. Not as a duty do I stand here 
 to-day. I would comfort the sorrowing — I would speak cheering words to those who remain as 
 I remember the virtues of the departed; but in common with those dearest to him, must I feel 
 ' that our friend sleepeth.' 
 
 ' He being dead yet speaketh.' 
 
 How, I ask again, shall the dead speak to the living? I repeat what I have already said: They 
 are heard through the memory of the past. What remains to "us of those who have gone before 
 us but the record of their virtues ? Without this we should be miserable, for we can have 
 nothing else. Would you my friends, you, who have been called again and again to the brink 
 of the grave, would you be deprived of the \ oices which come to cheer your solitary moments, 
 would you be content that the memory of virtue should slumber with the dust, that cherished 
 thoughts should vanish as cherished forms decay? O no! You would not, I am sure you could 
 not, you deem that memory a legacy, dearer than any other could be, and its value increases 
 more and more, as time bears you on towards the mansion they have reached. 
 
 In these sad moments we remember how dear the departed was to us, and we seek to strengthen 
 the cord which binds him to our hearts. And in no other way can we better accomplish this 
 than by applying to that life the words of the apostle, ' If there be any virtue, and if there be 
 any praise, think of these things.' We must do this. The soul ever clings to what is dear to it, 
 the heart never resigns the love natural affection kindled within it. Time cannot change it, and 
 eternity so far from destroying it, purifies and deepens it. So that the dear ones who have hft 
 our outward presence, through thought and memory still speak to our inward life." 
 
 The following obituary notice was published in the Greenfield Gase/U' arti^ Coi/ri'i;/; ior Dec. ;^, 
 1S55, by Hon. Henry W. Cushman, of Bernardston: 
 
 " Died in Bernardston, Nov. 2S, 1S55, Dr. Elijah Woodward Carpenter, aged 67 years. Dr. Car- 
 penter was born in Brattleboro, Vt., Sept. 7, 17S8, and was the son of a patriot of the Revolu- 
 tionary war. His early life was spent in laboring on his father's farm, and in teaching common 
 schools, in which occupation he was remarkably successful, having obtained the best education 
 that could be secured by faithful attendance at the common schools and at the academy in his 
 native town during the winter season, always accompanied by a diligent, earnest self-discipline 
 at home, he determined at about the age of 25 years to become a physician. After attending a 
 course of medical lectures at Yale college and the Berkshire medical institution, and completing 
 his medical studies with Dr. Cyrus Washburn of Vernon, \'t., he commenced the practice of 
 medicine in Bernardston about the year 1814 ; and in December of that year he was married to 
 Sophia Field of Northfield, who died May i8, 1822. Dec. 5, 1822, he married Valonia Slate,

 who now survives him. A family of seven children have been reared by his care, who daily, 
 'rise up and call him blessed.' 
 
 For upwards of forty years past, Dr. Carpenter has continued uninterruptedly night and day, in 
 storm and in sunshine, the practice of the profession to which he has given his whole attention 
 and devoted all his energy. Success has, therefore, crowned his efforts. But few men have 
 stood better with the community in which they have lived for so long a period, or with the 
 brethren of their profession. For many years he has been a member of the Massachusetts 
 Medical society and recently a counsellor of that society ; and he was president at the organiz- 
 ation of the Franklin County Medical society, being the senior member present. 
 
 As a physician, Dr. C. was neither a radical reformer nor an unyielding conservative ; but he early 
 applied to his profession the injunction of scripture, 'prove all things and hold fast to that which 
 is good.' Hence, he was all his days a close student of Nature as well as of Art. In his prac- 
 tice he was cautious and careful — believing that goodnursing and the operation of Nature were 
 the great restorative remedies. He, therefore, had the entire confidence and love of his patients. 
 
 If it is true, as the poet asserts, that: 
 
 ' A wise physician, skilled our ills to heal. 
 Is more than armies to the public weal ; 
 then Dr. C. may be put down as an eminent public benefactor. There are several families in 
 Bernardston who have had no other family physician for nearly forty years ; a conclusive evi- 
 dence of the soundness of his judgment as well as of the goodness of his heart. 
 
 But his character as a man and a .Christian is remembered with the most veneration and respect. 
 In all the relations of life he was emphatically a true man. No one ever even suspected his 
 integrity ; for honesty and reliability were his most marked characteristics. Hence he had the 
 entire confidence of his fellow citizens. He was for many years an active and valuable member 
 of the school committee of Bernardston, and held other offices of honor and respectability. 
 
 Although Dr. C. was never a member of any church, yet the religious element of his characterwas 
 marked and decided. He was a constant attendant (when his professional duties would permit) 
 on the services of the Unitarian society, and was for many years a teacher or superintendent of 
 the Sunday school of that society. While his judgment inclined him to the religious views of 
 the Unitarian denomination, he was, nevertheless, far from being dogmatical ; he believed that 
 'pure religion and undefiled before God ' was not confined to the narrow bounds of a society or 
 a sect. Hence his love to man was as universal as his love to God was perpetual. His whole 
 hfe of three score and seven years was, therefore, a perfect commentary of what a good man and 
 a Christian physician should be. 
 
 But in the nearer relation of husband and father. Dr. C. was most respected and beloved. There, 
 at his own home and fireside, no one was ever truer or better. 
 
 On one occasion a certain friend remarked to him : ' This is too much for your slender frame to 
 meet this storm or cold night' His answer, always decided, was the motto and ruling principle 
 of his professional life : ' We must not let people suffer and die when we can assist them.' 
 
 His funeral was attended at the Unitarian church in Bernardston on Friday p. m., Nov. 30, by a 
 large concourse of mourning friends and a number of his iAIasonic brethren from the neighbor- 
 ing towns, of which institution he was a true and worthy member and officer. 
 
 " His earthly toil is crowned with Heavenly rest, 
 He lived to bless— he died but to be blessed." 
 
 " Myfriend, my well tried friend is gone ; 
 
 His labors, arduous, at last are o'er; 
 By pure attraction heavenward drawn, 
 
 He's passed beyond this mortal shore. 
 
 Some forty years in this rude clime, 
 
 ' In perils oft,' by day and night. 
 He had the virtue, pure, sublime. 
 
 For human good to spend his might. 
 
 Or poor or rich, or high or low. 
 
 None sought his aid, and sought in vain ; 
 Nor howling winds, nor drifting snow, 
 
 E'er kept him from the bed of pain.

 Darkness and storm that body frail 
 
 Did oft lieroicly defy, 
 For his was not the soul to quail 
 
 In duty, for a stormy sky. 
 
 You who have shared his faithful care. 
 
 Don't still, the recompense forget ; 
 Think of the widow ; let her sliare at least 
 
 What justice renders meet." 
 
 At a meeting of the Bernardston Cemetery Association, held Dec. lo, 1855, the following resolu- 
 tions, relative to the decease of Dr. E. W. Carpenter, the former secretary of the corporation 
 were passed : 
 
 Resolved, That we deeply regret the decease of our associate and friend, Dr. E. W. Carpenter, 
 late Secretary and Treasurer of this Society ; that in his death this association has lost a valua- 
 ble, efficient and faithful officer ; the community, an intelligent, true-hearted and honest man, 
 and his family a dutiful and affectionate parent and friend. 
 
 Resolved, That this association tender to the family of our deceased friend the sympathy which 
 their bereavement so much demands; and that our thanks are due to them for the important 
 service rendered to this cemetery corporation by our late Secretary and Treasurer.

 Frank Carpenter, the artist, has a summer home in Homer, N. Y. That was his birthplace and 
 probably no honors won elsewhere are dearer to his heart than those which Cortland county 
 neighbors showered upon him in their honest and whole-souled way. Frank Carpenter was 
 very near being a farmer instead of an artist and but for what was a little different from a sheer 
 accident he might have been digging potatoes and hoeing corn all these days instead of becom- 
 ing Abraham Lincoln's friend and the author of a national painting. A resident neighbor 
 reports incidents of his early career as an artist : " Good old Asaph Carpenter, Frank's father, 
 was one of the substantial men of his day in Cortland county. He paid his debts and raised 
 crops on his farm that made all his neighbors envious; but just what made the world crazy over 
 pictures and the like was a secret that he never stopped ploughing long enough to solve; hence 
 he was inclined to be a little worried over the way his son Frank, who even before he reached 
 his teens began to show that he was handy with the pencil. Father Carpenter was rather proud 
 of his boy and thought he detected signs of much promise and with abundant pride he built air- 
 castles covering the time when he should live at his ease and watch his heir in tilling the fertile 
 acres. Frank was not inclined to take kindly to the paternal programme and with a boy's 
 candor he made his objections known that he was going to be an artist and would be rich and 
 become famous. This is what he told his father and his father began to worry. It was very 
 trying to Carpenter's soul to see so promising a scion going wrong and there were lectures of a 
 pretty emphatic sort in the family until to all outward appearances the dreaming lad had aban- 
 doned all his visions and was reconciled to the fate marked out by his sire. One day, however, 
 there was a surprise party in the Carpenter family. The head of the house came home' unusually 
 early from a trip to the store where the farmers' supplies were bought and the head of the house 
 for some reason not known to this day, visited the barn and cHmbed into the hay loft. There 
 were a good many things that he might have found there but what he did find was 
 a piece of chalk and a smooth pine plank. The chalk was worn and the plank glistened 
 with a picture of Farmer Asaph Carpenter's prize heifer. Certain work which had been 
 expected of the lad was yet to be done. There came a sudden sorrow in a section of the Car- 
 penter household ; for a time at least it seemed that everybody on the farm was unanimous in 
 the belief that art work was a delusion and a snare. It was about this time that Jedediah Bar- 
 bour flourished in Central New York where even to this day his memory is kept green. Jede- 
 diah's store was one of the chief glories of Homer's patron saint. He did many things for the 
 town, nothing else was of so much importance to young Frank Carpenter as a decision he 
 reached one day when he was just back from a trip to New York City. Jedediah startled all the 
 
 No. 4307 ; Family 663. 
 
REHOBOTH FAMILY. 461 
 
 land by the erection of a gaudy sign over his store door; it reached the entire length of the 
 store front. For months it was the text of the town talk. What Jedehiah Barbour did must be 
 the proper thing and a sign epidemic swept through the town but sign painters were scarce ; not 
 all could afford as Jedediah did to import the gorgeous plank from the metropolis; there 
 was room for a new star in the Homer horizon. An all-wise citizen discovered a sign mine, 
 but he could not divulge the name of the artist. The air of mystery did not displease the 
 citizens of Homer any more than it would have displeased more pretentious places, and 
 it was stormy weather when a week went by without at least one new signto tickle the local heart. 
 Even the soul of Asaph Carpenter warmed a little over the new departure and he really fell into 
 enthusiasm one day when be confronted the new sign of the village blacksmith. The horseshoer 
 had really outdone all his neighbors. A horse, a horseshoe, an anvil and a sledge-hammer were 
 on the board with clean cut letters of the smithy's name. Mr, Carpenter scrutinized it and Mr. 
 Carpenter praised it. He was in the middle of compliments to the blacksmith when of a sudden 
 his eye caught the little legend in a corner, F. B. Carpenter, painter. The name was all he saw 
 there ; everything else faded, picture, horse and anvil. The blacksmith had not begun to shoe 
 the horse which Farmer Carpenter had brought over and that day he had no opportunity, for n 
 moment later Asaph was astride the beast headed for home at a rapid gait. Frank was found 
 and Frank was interviewed. He had to confess that his was the hand that had been ornament- 
 ing all the town and he confessed too that he was not half as penitent as he might have been for 
 hking to wield the brush. Asaph Carpenter was famed for his good sense. He gave up the 
 farm idea for Frank and from that time there was no need for inixing colors on the sly." 
 
 I have told the story just as it was told to me, as to the way which led to the painting of our 
 famous Emancipation Proclamation. 
 
 There are two men well known to the public whose names are very much alike. One is Frank 
 (Francis) B, Carpenter, the painter of Lincoln, and author of " Six months at the White House," 
 and the other is Frank G. Carpenter, the Washington correspondent of prominent newspapers. 
 Both being well versed on the same topics, it is easy to see that confusion often arises in the 
 minds of their friends regarding them. The man whose middle initial is " B " lives in New York 
 and says he is frequently given a hearty shake of the hand by some friend who congratulates 
 him upon such and such a letter which has just appeared. Wearying of the constant explana- 
 tion, now, when the question is put he laughingly demands " Is it good.? " and the reply being in 
 the affirmative he answers, ''Certainly, it is mine then." 
 
 Probably no one has reached a higher reputation or has become better known. than Frank B. Car- 
 penter. Besides the historical painting of the Emancipation Proclamation in the capitol at 
 Washington he has painted the portrait of Lincoln and subsequently wrote " Six Months at the 
 White House." His writings will be found in all the biographies of Lincoln. Frank B. has 
 been invited several times to Washington to paint the portraits of the presidents and others, 
 among them Fillmore, Pierce, John Tyler, Seward, Cass, Sam Houston, Chase, Sumner, Caleb 
 Cushing and Greeley. 
 
 Frank B. Carpenter writes the following relative to the family : 
 
 " My grandfather, Noah Carpenter, married Charlotte Sharp and he was a brother of Allen Car- 
 penter and they were sons of Abial Carpenter by his wife. Charity Allen; she was a sister of 
 Gen. Ethan Allen a noted man in Revolutionary times, who took a prominent part in the rights 
 of Vermont by which it became one of the states of the Union. He resided in Vermont. 
 
 I am proud of my descent from the sister of Ethan Allen."

 Gen. 10. Children 6, b. in DeWitt, N. Y.

 Alary Blatichard, May 27, 1863 ; she d. April i, 1893 ; m. 2d, Emma 
 
 A. Earnest, Feb. 7, 1894. Since 1869 his residence has been at Downer's 
 
 Grove, 111. 
 
 He had the usual experience of farmer's boys, hard work during a large portion of the year and a 
 little schooling during the winter. As soon as he was old enough he began teachingschool. In 
 February, 1S57, he came to Chicago and obtained some work. The financial troubles of that 
 year stopped his work. He kept books during the winter of 1857 and 1858; he came to Down- 
 er's Grove in the fall of 1858 and taught school during the winter of 185S and 1859. The winter 
 of 1859 and i85o he was teaching in Missouri. Missouri was too hot a place foran Abolitionist, 
 and he came back in the fall of i860 and taught school in the winter of i860 and 1861. 
 
 When Fort Sumter was fired upon, he enlisted in April, 1S61, and was mustered into the service 
 May 24, 1861, for three years in Company K of the 13th Illinois infantry, at I3ixon, 111. His 
 three years in the Union army covered service in garrison. On the march of General Curtis' 
 army from RoUa, Mo., to Helena, Ark., (one of the most severe long marches of the war)andat 
 the attack by Gen. Sherman on the rebels at Chickasaw Bayou, (where he was captured and con- 
 fined several months in rebel prisons) he was reported for court martial. The circumstances of 
 his capture are thus told by the chaplain of the regiment : 
 
 "I record with pride that those of us who were captured at Chickasaw Bayou fell into the enemy's 
 hands because, obeying the first order to " charge,'' and not hearing the counter order, " retreat," 
 we pressed forward through the dense smoke of the enemy's artillery till beyond the reach of 
 support." 
 
 On May 27, 1863, on returning to Downer's Grove after his release by the rebels, he was married 
 to Mary Blanchard. He returned to his service and served out his terra of enlistment, three 
 years. 
 
 The winter of 1S65 and 1866 he reported the proceedings of the Kentucky legislature for the 
 Louisville yo?/;'//;?/. Later, he came north, taught school for several years and then went back 
 to court reporting, in which he is now engaged. He has lived continuously at Downer's Grove 
 since 1868, and has served the village as clerk, trustee and member of the board of education. 
 
 Mary Blanchard, his wife, was the daughter of Judge and Capt. Walter Blanchard, an early and 
 prominent settler of this (Du Page) county. Walter Blanchard was a descendant of Thomas 
 Blanchard, a Scotch Presbyterian, who came from England to Charlestown, Mass., in 1630. 
 Walter Blanchard's mother, Mary Tolford-Blanchard was a descendant of Lady KateMcCurdy 
 and Lady Jane McMurphy, daughters of Scotch noblemen. 
 
 Charles Carpenter and Mary Blanchard-Carpenter had five children. These children are proud 
 of being descendants of, or closely connected with, many men who consider it to be their duty 
 to support the government with arms on numerous occasions. Their father was a Union soldier 
 in the rebellion, so was their mother's father, and her two brothers and eight of her uncles and 
 cousins on her mother's side. Their father's brother, Hubert Carpenter was first lieutenant and 
 adjutant in the rebellion. Their maternal great-grandfather was a soldier in the war of 1812, 
 and three of his older brothers were minute-men and fought at Lexington. Their paternal 
 great-grandfather served under Washington and Putnam. 
 
 4321. II. Hubert was b. Feb. 8, 1837 and d. in the service of the last war, May 6, 1863. 
 
 Record says "Hubert E. Carpenter of Colchester enlisted Aug. 14, 1862, mustered into service 
 
 Sept. 5, 1862 and was wounded June 3, 1864, at Cold Harbor, Va." 
 He enlisted in Company F, 76th New York infantry, as sergeant. July 25, 1862, he was appointed 
 
 sergeant major. Nov. 25, 1862, he was promoted to second heutenant. Feb. 20, 1863, he was

 oppose slavery, and he expressed his opinion of its tardiness. 
 As a result, he was expelled from the church. He d. May 7, 1875. 
 
 His wife, Mary Hollister. was a descendant of Lieut. John Hollister, of Wethersfield, Conn., and 
 his wife Joanna Treat-Hollister, daughter of Hon. Richard Treat, Sr. Both Hollister and Treat 
 were among the first settlers and most prominent men of Connecticut colony. Robert Treat, 
 brother of Mrs. John Hollister, was a famous Indian fighter and for many years was governor 
 of Connecticut. It was he who engineered the hiding of the colony's charter in the oak tree

 H. G. writes to George B. Carpenter of Chicago, as follows: 
 
 " Many of the Carpenters came to Goshen, N. V. after leaving Long Island, as I find on the 
 records of the county office that in 1720 a deed of land had been given to the town for school, 
 church and burial purposes: and out of tlie twelve signatures to the deed, nine of them were 
 Carpenters. ALany of the family were killed at the battle of the Minisink, just previous to the 
 Wyoming massacre, by the Indians under Braddock. The names of some of them are on a 
 monument in the burial yard at Goshen."

 Willard Carpenter was one of the wealthiest and most philanthropic citizens of Indiana. The 
 first money earned by him was by digging sarsaparilla and selling it to his uncle. He realized 
 25 cents from the sale and this amount he immediately loaned out at six per cent interest per 
 annum. By the earnings of odd jobs and the accumulations of interest, all securely invested, 
 he saved $7. At the age of 19, he walked to Albany, N. Y„ where he invested his little capital 
 in a stock of notions, which he peddled over the country. With the capital which he had accu- 
 mulated in peddling goods he opened a wholesale dry goods house in Evansville, Ind., in 1836 
 and here he has been ever since. He was a leading spirit in the building of the Wabash and 
 Erie canal, traveling for six months at his own expense circulating the petition and visiting 17 
 states urging the support of the measure, besides spending the larger part of his time at the 
 sessions of congress in 1S43 and 1S44 or 1844 and 1845 working for the passage of the bill for 
 the donation by congress of half the lands in the Evansville land district. Mr. Carpenter gave 
 liberally of his wealth, the principal of his gifts being the Willard Carpenter library, valued 
 at $400,000. He was very much interested in the Carpenter fund association which will appear 
 by letter written by W. E. Burbank to the compiler, which explains itself; 
 Office of the Carpenter Fund Association.

 A. B. Carpenter, Esq.: 
 
 Dear Sir :— Your kind favor of the 4th inst. is to hand and noted. And my 
 uncle, Mr. Carpenter of this city, desires me to say he thinks your idea a good one, and that 
 the family genealogical history ought to be completed as early, and with as little as possible 
 delay. You might make a proposition to Messrs. Barker & Usher, and at least get their opinion 
 about appropriating the money obtained or a part of it from the members of the association. 
 There would be no harm in corresponding with them and getting their views on the subject. 
 Mr. Carpenter has, like yourself, spent quite a sum of money during a period of over forty years 
 in aiding in this matter. He has perhaps contributed more money to this cause than any other 
 man in the whole country, but has never worked on the family genealogy, which he also con- 
 siders a very important feature. He says that he is in hopes that some plan may be suggested

 by which to raise the necessary funds to complete and make an early finish of your work, the 
 genealogical history. I see you trace us back to John and William Carpenter. Do you think 
 them descendants of either Ephraim or Timothy Carpenter of Long Island? We shall be glad 
 to hear from you often and soon again. I remain, 
 
 Yours truly,

 When he was 10 years of age he went to Troy, N. Y., in business with his brothers, William and 
 John, and later with Ephraim and Willard. He first commenced by selling goods furnished him 
 by his brothers, travelling with a peddling cart, and in a short time he was taken as a partner, 
 under the name of A. B. Carpenter & Co. In 1835 he went into business at Evansville, Ind. 
 In 1838 Ephraim and Willard dissolved partnership, Ephraim remaining at Troy, N. Y. and 
 Willard went to Evansville, with his brother Alvin B., antl they continued in business together 
 until 1841, when they sold out. It appears that when their business matters were fully settled 
 some five years later, Alvin B. moved to Beloit, Wis., but, they continued their partnership 
 relations until about 1S72. 
 
 Alvin B. is now over 80 and is as full of business schemes as when a young man and enjoys as 
 much in making a trade as he ever did and still retains the gift of being courteous to all. He is 
 what is termed a gentleman, a self made man and beloved by all.

 After the death of his first wife, James Dinsmore married Mary M., the sister of his first wife, June 
 I, 1887. The following is the obituary notice of Mary M. Dinsmore: "The death of the late 
 Mary M. Dinsmore, wife of James Dinsmore of Hopkins, demands more than a simple 
 announcement. She came here in May, 1885, from Montpelier, Vt., to take the management 
 and care of his extensive household, and of his wife, an elder sister of hers, who after 30 years of 
 household duties had suddenly been wholly incapacitated by a stroke of paralysis. Mary was 
 then the picture of health and strength and had never been under the care of the doctor from 
 infancy. She had lived in Montpelier for more than a quarter of a century and had been an 
 active member of the First Congregational Church there. For 14 months after coming she did 
 the double duty of housekeeper for Mr. Dinsmore and was head nurse for his first wife. Imme- 
 diately after her marriage she transferred her church connection from the First Congregational 
 Church in Montpeher, Vt. to that of the First Congregational Church in Sterling. She was a 
 model Christian, a model housekeeper and a model wife."

 Proud indeed is the record of Vermont in the country's wars, and well do her sons perpetuate the 
 deeds of her gallant soldiers in years long gone and those nearer at hand. There is a yearly 
 Boston dinner which illustrates this to a high degree, at which veterans whose part in the civil 
 war was a most honorable one are present. It is that of the association of Vermont veterans of 
 the late war, of Boston and vicinity. Last night at Young's hotel was held this annual event, and 
 about one hundred and thirty veterans responded to the call and reported for duty. 
 
 At the business meeting which preceded the dinner, Col. George N. Carpenter was chosen to fill a 
 vacancy caused by the resignation of Col Gardner C. Hawkins, and Dr. E. J. Eddy, who is 
 also a clerk of the executive committee, was elected first vice-president, in place of Colonel 
 Carpenter, promoted.

 "A SKETCH OF HIS BRILLIANT CAREER IN THE SENATE. 
 
 A SON S TRIBUTE. 
 
 Matthew Hale Carpenter, eldest son of Ira Carpenter and his wife Esther Ann, n^e Luce, was 
 born at Moretown, Vermont, December 22, 1824, over seventy years ago. During his child- 
 hood, Paul Dillingham, one of the best known men in Vermont, and afterwards Carpenter's 
 father-in-law, visited frequently at the residence of Ira Carpenter in ^Moretown, and, much 
 attracted by the child, said to him, ' Come to me when you are 14 years old and I will make a 
 lawyer of you.' The promise, quickly forgotten by Mr. Dillingham, was never forgotten by the 
 child, who, having at 10 years of age, gone through the great sorrow of losing his beloved 
 mother, left home at 14 years of age and went to Mr. Dillingham's house in Waterbury, with the 
 announcement that he had come to be made a lawyer. He was at once taken into theoiifice and 
 family of his future father-in-law and was there instructed in the rudimentary principles of the 
 profession to which he was destined to be so great an ornament. 
 
 As a boy, he conducted injustice courts quite a number of cases in which his grandfather, Cephas 
 Carpenter, a well-known character in his day and locality, acted as opposing attorney. Cephas 
 Carpenter had the reputation of being one of the best jury orators in Vermont, and in one of 
 the cases in which he was pitted against his grandson, there occurred a most amusing 
 incident. The elder Carpenter, in addressing the jury, put forth all his powers of eloquence, 
 growing more and more sensational and figurative in his language as he ascended towards his 
 climax; when, at some astounding statement, the grandson leaped to his feet with a little cry, 
 and then remembering that he was in the presence of a court, sank back again in his seat, mur- 
 muring, however, in a tone loud enough to be audible to everyone in the room, ' O, grandfather, 
 how can you lie so !' This comment won the case for the youthful advocate. 
 
 In 1843 young Carpenter was appointed to a cadetship in the military academy at West Point. 
 At that time such an appointment was supposed to give the stamp of a sort of semi-aristocracy 
 to its recipient ; but though Carpenter stood well in his studies, he felt it his destiny to become 
 a lawyer, military life having small attractions for him. He used to tell, with glee, of beingseiit 
 for by the superintendent on one occasion and reprimanded for not having a military appear- 
 ance. 'You don't walk like a soldier,' said that dignitary, 'you should strut, sir, strut, strut, 
 strut! Good morning, sir!' This reprimand must have had some effect, for if he did not 
 carry himself like a soldier while at West Point, he always carried himself like one afterward; 
 not indeed, with a strut, but with the erect swing and dignity of one who has passed from mili- 
 tary to civil life. 
 
 Having resigned his cadetship after two years, to become a lawyer, and having with characteristic 
 eloquence, persuaded his room-mate, to do precisely the same thing, young Carpenter entered 
 with enthusiasm upon his legal studies. In 1847 he was admitted to the bar of Vermont (hav- 
 ing returned meantime to Mr. Dillingham's home), and almost immediately afterward went to 
 Boston to complete his preparations for entering upon active practice. In Boston he entered 
 the office and family of the great advocate, Rufus Choate. Upon leaving Choate's office to go 
 west Carpenter received from his preceptor practical proofs of that friendship which stood him 
 in good stead a short time later; for Choate, not content with giving him a letter of warmest 
 recommendation to the profession and the public, insisted upon his purchasing a much larger 
 professional library than he had contemplated, making himself liable for the payment. 
 
 In Wisconsin, with the brightest prospects of success before him. Carpenter was suddenly stricken 
 with what must have been under the circumstances, one of the most appalling of disasters- 
 blindness. He went to New York, where for sixteen months he was under the care of a noted 
 speciahst, and during this time he was supported by Choate. He loved to tell how, when he

REHOBOTH FAMILY. 501 
 
 asked Choate for an account of the moneys advanced, the older man admitted with a blush that 
 he had kept no account. Luckily for his own pride, Carpenter had, and was able subsequently 
 to repay the money ; the kindness could never be repaid. 
 
 After three years of inability to use his eyes, one year of which was spent in blindness so total 
 that he could not see a ray of light, he was pronounced cured, and returned to Wisconsin able, 
 indeed, to use his eyes, but afflicted with life-long nearsightedness. He often declared that these 
 three years were the making of him, for the vast body of his previous reading was undigested, 
 and during this time of recollection and self-examination, what had been previously shapeless 
 assumed a form. 
 
 It should be noticed in passing, that upon his return to Wisconsin he was elected a district attorney 
 of Rock county, (his first residence being in Beloit) and this was the only political office he ever 
 held except that of United States senator. The first case which gave Carpenter a wide profes- 
 sional reputation in Wisconsin was the famous Bashford-Barstow case, which arose over a legal 
 contest for the gubernatorial chair; but it was shortly after this in 1S5S, that a stranger walked 
 into his office, informed him that he had decided to enter into a great railroad litigation and 
 requested the young attorney to take charge of his interests. Carpenter removed to Milwaukee 
 and began the great series of railroad cases which made his reputation, and to a great extent 
 settled the principles of railroad law. 
 
 Upon the outbreak of the civil war, Carpenter, who had been always a Democrat, joined the 
 influential body known as the War Democrats. Precluded from volunteering, and exempt from 
 the draft, on account of his near-sightedness, he nevertheless insisted on sending a substitute ; 
 recalling his experiences at West Point, he drilled the early volunteers of his adopted state ; and 
 thereafter, almost entirely abandoning his law practice, which he could ill afford to do, he 
 devoted his gifts as an orator to the service of the Union, traveling from place to place and 
 firing the zeal of the stay-at-homes by his appeals. Murdoch, one of the greatest tragic actors who 
 then graced the stage, was playing 'Hamlet' in Milwaukee one night; in the middle of an act, 
 Carpenter, who was one of the tragedian's warm personal friends, marched upon the stage, 
 ordered Murdoch and the others off it, read a dispatch recounting a proclamation issued by the 
 President calling for more men, and proceeded upon that text to make a speech so moving that 
 Murdoch himself canceled all his professional engagements and volunteered. 
 
 Having returned at the end of the war to active practice. Carpenter delivered, in 1868, one of the 
 greatest arguments in respect of suggestion and far-reaching effect ever delivered by an attorney. 
 This was in the famous McCardle case before the Supreme court of the United States. In 
 Carpenter's argument was foreshadowed the whole scheme of reconstruction subsequently fol- 
 lowed by the government ; and it was after this speech of two days duration that he awoke to 
 find himself one of the most famous of constitutional lawyers. 
 
 Having finally, after the civil war, become affiliated to the Republican party. Carpenter was a can- 
 didate in January, 1869, for the senatorial nomination at the hands of his new party. The 
 canvass, which was extremely sharp, was virtually closed by an incident as amusing as it was 
 unusual. Some of Carpenter's clever supporters proposed that the various candidates, five or 
 six in number, deliver addresses on the topics of the day before an audience composed of the 
 members of the legislature and any other citizens who desired to attend. Carpenter's oppo- 
 nents well knowing his oratorical powers, anxiously and hotly ridiculed the proposed ' spelling 
 bee,' as they called it ; and it would indeed have been absurd had it been less serious for them. 
 It took place in spite of them, and was followed by Carpenter's nomination and election. 
 Taking his seat in the senate in the following March, he sprang almost immediately to the front 
 rank in a body which then contained many famous men. His greater distinction in the senate 
 dates from his contest with Charles Sumner a few months later, concerning the gunboats fitted 
 up by Spain in this country for use against the Cuban revolutionists. The contest between the 
 two senators was bitter, and was renewed from time to time afterwards on various questions. 
 On this particular question, Sumner, who opposed Carpenter's motion to libel the gunboats, 
 carried his point by securing a delay in the action of the senate, during which the gunboats, 
 taking arms and crews from a Spanish man-of-war, slipped out of port; but the people at large 
 felt so strongly that this was a trick unworthy of Sumner's reputation, and appreciated so 
 thoroughly Carpenter's brilliant speeches, which combined legal learning with eloquence and with 
 
 No. 4833; Family 773. 
 
502 CARPENTER MEMORIAL. 
 
 sympathy for the struggling Cubans, that Carpenter became from that day a popular idol, and 
 Sumner lost much of his influence. 
 
 In the debates preceding the readmission of the rebel states. Carpenter bore a prominent part. 
 He opposed the abolition of the franking privilege ; he really defeated the Texas Pacific railway 
 bill, and he was instrumental in passing the act which increased the salaries of the Supreme 
 court justices. 
 
 In 1870 Carpenter's efforts to punish the witnesses who refused to answer questions as to the 
 identity of the senator or employe of the Senate, who had divulged state secrets to the New 
 York Tribune., drew upon him the hostility of the press. He was made a victim of unceasing 
 malignity and of the foulest and most unfounded slanders ; and it cannot be denied that the 
 minds of many people were strongly prejudiced against him because of nevyspaper attacks. 
 The part played by the press in the long and unequal battle between itself and the one senator 
 who braved its wrath, was far from creditable to itself ; yet in many cases no doubt, ignorance 
 rather than malice was at the bottom of the hatred displayed towards Carpenter. 
 
 In 1872 Sumner made his famous onslaught upon President Grant, and Carpenter stood forsvard 
 as the President's chief defender. His great speech in defense of Grant must always remain a 
 model of eloquence, of reasoning and of scathing ridicule. The presidential campaign was 
 then impending, and the impression produced throughout the country by this remarkable speech 
 was tremendous. 
 
 Carpenter voted for the unpopular ' Back Pay ' measure; andwasoneof the few who, retaining 
 the courage of their convictions after the storm of public indignation burst, defended what had 
 been most deliberately done. At Janesville, Wis., he delivered a long address on the subject 
 which went far towards correcting the mistaken feeHng; pointing out that the same thing had 
 been done before without exciting anything like the fury now directed against himself and 
 others. 
 
 The matters of less notoriety but of great usefulness in which Carpenter did more than his share 
 of labor are too many to be dwelt upon. That his work and his worth were appreciated by his 
 colleagues is shown by the fact that during his first term he was elected president pro tern, of 
 the Senate, a position which he filled with judicial impartiality. 
 
 In 1875, upon the impending expiration of his first term of office. Carpenter was a candidate for 
 re-election and was the unanimous nominee of a caucus attended by more than two-thirds of 
 the Republican majority in the Legislature. A few personal enemies refused to attend the 
 caucus, and by forming a combination with the Democratic minority, succeeded in defeating 
 him, an action resented by the people of Wisconsin and wondered at by the people of the 
 country. 
 
 Upon this defeat. Carpenter's first comment was that he would have time to read Shakespeare 
 again, but upon his return to the practice of law, exclusively, his clients multiplied so rapidly 
 that he never ceased to be a desperately hard worked man. Among the greatest cases in which 
 he took part were the impeachment proceedings against Secretary Belknap, whom he defended 
 most energetically and whom he and his associates in the case saved from conviction ; and the 
 procedings before the electoral commission to which was left the decision as to whether Hayes 
 or Tilden was elected president of the United States. Carpenter appeared for Tilden, an act 
 of supreme moral courage considering his own relations to the Republican party. Yet. although 
 he was frantically abused by the Repubhcan press for his part in that matter, his courage was 
 so characteristic that he could never realize he had shown courage at all in doing what he did. 
 It was simply a professional matter he said, and he was in private life. Moreover he believed 
 that Tilden had been elected. 
 
 In 1879 occurred the first senatorial vacancy that Wisconsin had had to fill since Carpenter's 
 defeat four years previous. He entered the arena again, and after a most stirring contest was 
 triumphantly elected. The pleasure which this vindication must have given him was crossed 
 by the doom pronounced upon him by his physician. For several years he had been wasting 
 away with an undiscovered disease which probably took its rise in a severe fall which he suffered 
 in 1876. In Washington the case had been mistaken in the first instance, and it was only upon 
 calling in a new physician upon his triumphant return to .Milwaukee that he was told that even 
 with extreme carefulness, he could live but a few years longer. He immediately began to 
 arrange his affairs so that his family would be provided for at his death.

 During the two years of life which remained to him, he delivered some of his greatest speeches 
 in the Senate ; he, himself, considered the best of them to have been his two days' speech in the 
 matter of the Geneva award, an argument largely technical, but enlivened by a sharp personal 
 tilt with Senator Blaine. A more popular speech, however, was that which he delivered against 
 the bill providing for the relief of Fitz-John Porter. The bill as then proposed, provided 
 directly for Porter's restoration to the army, and this Carpenter contended was a violation of 
 the constitutional provision which gives the power of appointments to the President. Largely 
 through this remarkable oration, the bill was thrown out ; and that which became a law after 
 Carpenter's death was re-drafted in such a way as to avoid this defect. 
 
 Meanwhile Carpenter's health was failing rapidly. He rose from his bed of suffering a week 
 before his death to go out upon an errand of charity ; he never left the house afterwards. He 
 expired peacefully on Feb. 24, 1881. His interment took place at Milwaukee. 
 
 To sketch Carpenter's character would be indeed, a difficult task. He combined most extraordinary 
 brilliancy with remarkable depth of intellect and learning ; and his love of labor, with which he 
 was not always credited, amounted to a genuine passion. His profession was to him like the 
 blood in his veins ; yet he felt, as many another man has, the baleful fascination of politics. 
 He always hotly denied that he was a politician, and he certainly was not in the undesirable 
 sense of the word, but in the larger and best sense of the word he may be called a politician, 
 and it cannot be denied that he was a far-seeing statesman. His fame, however, rests largely 
 where he would have wished it to rest principally, upon his acquirements and career as a lawyer, 
 and upon his great oratorical gifts. With an unusually warm and tender heart open to all 
 appeals of those in distress, he never showed a trace of the quick temper so apt to be a feature 
 of sanguine dispositions. He combined great gaiety with a deep vein of pensive sadness. He 
 was a good friend and a poor enemy, loving his family passionately, showing the utmost devo- 
 tion and loyalty to his friends and seeming incapable of hatred or revenge." 
 
 Further account and anecdotes by extracts taken from the life of Matthew Hale Carpenter, written 
 by Frank A. Flower: 
 
 "When a child he showed a very remarkable memory as shown when he attended the Sunday- 
 school. He could commit weekly entire chapters of the Bible to be repeated in Sunday-school, 
 and learn declamations without apparent effort. His greatest exploit in this direction, referred 
 to fully in the account of his childhood, was committing to memory in two weeks Webster's 
 reply to Hayne, keeping up the regular studies of his classes at the same time. When he 
 became totally blind and was under treatment in New York he had for a room mate one Benedict 
 who was there for the same purpose, but had the use of one eye which enabled him to read the 
 papers and books to the afflicted Matt Carpenter, ' Young Benedict read a volume of miscella- 
 neous poems, which was read and re-read, dissected, discussed and digested with the greatest 
 freedom and impartiality. During this period and from the reading of this volume by Bene- 
 dict, Carpenter committed to memory all save the ballads of Scott's 'Lady of the Lake" 
 (equal to about one hundred pages of this volume,) Burn's 'Brigs of Ayr' and ' The Jolly 
 Beggars,' Byron's ' Corsair ' and ' The prisoner of Chillon,' besides several lesser poems. 
 ' Such an extraordinary achievement at once made the blind young Milton of the wilderness' 
 as Carpenter was called, a noted character in the neighborhood, and hardly an evening passed 
 without a crowd gathering to hear him recite passages from ' The Lady of the Lake ' or from 
 that splendid description of the tribulations of Robert Bruce, ' The Laird of the Isles ' or with 
 inimitable felicity, that roaring trespass upon broad humor, ' The Jolly Beggars.' He remained 
 at West Point only two years, returning in 1845; then for two years he was in the office of 
 Ex-Governor Dillingham, and was admitted to the bar in that county in 1847. To complete his 
 education he entered the office of the noted Rufus Choate of Boston, occupied his private 
 office, as there was no place vacant for another student in his office. The next morning 
 after entering Choate's private office he was handed a letter by iAIr. Choate from an 
 attorney of Exeter, N. H., asking an opinion upon an intricate question of the law. Mr. 
 Choate requested him to look up the point and decisions in the matter, thereby testing his 
 ability. Carpenter worked diligently upon the complex question, hunting through Choate's 
 fine library for authorities, and submitted his results to Choate for examination. He had far 
 exceeded the expectations of the master. Choate replied, "Well Judge, I guess I can put 
 R. Choate to the end of that and tell that lawyer to send me one hundred dollars.''

504 CARPENTER MEMORIAL. 
 
 The opinion was duly enclosed by Matt with a note asking for a fee of one hundred dollars, anc 
 sent to Exeter, N. H. Before leaving Boston Choate handed him a written introduction anc 
 recommendation, subsequently neatly framed and hung up in his office in Wisconsin, of whicl- 
 the following is a copy : 
 
 "BosTOx, Mass., May 25, 1848. 
 
 I have great pleasure instating that D. M. H. Carpenter, Esq., is well known to me ; that his 
 character is excellent ; his talents of a very high order ; his legal attainments very great for this 
 time of life ; and that his love of labor and his fondness of his profession insure his success 
 wheresoever he may establish himself. He studied the law in my office for the closing portion 
 of his term, and I part with him with great regret. To the profession and the public I recom- 
 mend (him) as worthy of the utmost confidence, honor and patronage. 
 
 (Signed) RuFUS Choate, Counsellor at Law.'' 
 
 When he had rented an office in Beloit, Wis., and arranged his books his funds were exhausted; 
 there was not enough left to pay for a sign that he had ordered, and he was ashamed to ask for 
 credit for so small an amount, revolving in his mind the perplexing question what to do. He 
 could not go himself for the sign without exposing his poverty so hailing a boy he requested him 
 to go over to the Smiths for the sign and to tell him to send in his bill (as if he were worth 
 millions), soon after he borrowed some money and paid the bill. 
 
 His first suit before a Justice of the Peace was in 1841 when he was between sixteen and seven- 
 teen years of age. His grandfather Cephas Carpenter was the opposing counsel. After a 
 protracted hearing, he, (.Matt) won the suit over the experience, tact and learning of his aged 
 grandfather who seldom lost a case. His first case after settling in Beloit was held before a 
 Justice of the Peace at a point in Rock county ten or twelve miles above Beloit, for a farmer, 
 Ebenezer N. Baldwin; he won the suit. Baldwin carried him to and from the court. When 
 asked for his charges he replied, " I guess about a dollar.'' The following is a letter written by 
 the aforesaid Ebenezer Baldwin : 
 
 " Afton, Wis., Augl'st, 1883. 
 
 Dear Sir: — In July, 1848, I sued Cyrus Woodbndge before a justice of the peace. Malt con- 
 ducted the suit, the first he had in Wisconsin. He won the case, and when I asked him what 
 his charges were, he answered, ' One dollar.' I asked him if that was enough, and he said, 
 ' Oh, I guess so.' He was one of the best lawyers and best citizens that ever lived. He was an 
 open-hearted, generous man. He was a great friend to the poor, and would rather g^ve his last 
 dollar than to see them suffer. 
 
 Respectfully, 
 
 Ebexezer N. Baldwin." 
 
 In 1854 Jonathan F. Arnold, a noted criminal lawyer of early days, engaged Carpenter to aid him 
 in defending a man of means, but of unsavory reputation who had been charged with a grave 
 offense. The judge, not having an acquaintance with him, thought Carpenter was a country 
 lawyer who had entered the case for the purpose of receiving lessons in criminal practice from 
 Mr. Arnold. He opened for the defense in an unpretentious way. explaining what he expected 
 to prove and citing law and rulings governing the admissibility of certain evidence. The court, 
 unable to control himself while a young stranger laid down rules of evidence for his guidance, 
 exclaimed : " I see, sir, you do not know the opinions of this court upon such matters.'' Carpen- 
 ter replied : " I confess, your honor, that I am less familiar with the private views of this court 
 than with the law in this case." " I fine you, sir," shrieked the judge, pounding vehemently 
 upon the rickety old bench behind which he was sitting, " fine you, sir, ten dollars for contempt of 
 court and disbar you from practice until it shall be paid I" Without the slightest apparent dis- 
 comforture. Carpenter drew a gold eagle from his pocket, placed it on the table, and, half-turn- 
 ing to the audience, said in a bland and pleasant voice, " I am a stranger in these parts and not 
 familiar with your market prices ; but it strikes me that this is a mighty small amount of cash for 
 an almighty sight of contempt !" Shouts of laughter followed this sally. 
 
 At the commencement of the civil war Carpenter proposed to enlist as a soldier, but his friends 
 protested that he could not be spared ; that on the field of battle he could bear but one musket 
 and would count but one amongst the slain, while at home, his logic, his patriotic earnestness 
 and his inspired eloquence made him a host at the recruiting .meetings. However, he went to

 the ofBce of the examining surgeon, who pronounced him physically unfit to bear arms. He was 
 not satisfied until he could hire a substitute for $800, who served through the war. An answer 
 to a letter written to Matt Carpenter from a friend, a northern Democrat, who was opposed to 
 the war, from wliich a short extract is taken as follows; 
 
 " If the Rebellion was not justifiable, then it was not only the right, but the duty of the govern- 
 ment to put it down by military force, and to continue the use of force until the proper object, 
 obedience to the constitution, should be fully accomplished. And, if this is the duty of the 
 government, then all good citizens ought to aid and sustain the government in the prosecution 
 of just such war to a satisfactory and honorable end, whether it continue one year or ten gener- 
 ations. Thus do I induce the duty of all Democrats to support the government, ' even unto the 
 end of the world.' 
 
 Matthew Carpenter was christened " Decatur Merritt Hammond Carpenter " but was subse- 
 quently changed to Matthew Hale Carpenter as it will appear. He was admitted to the Wash- 
 ington county court, Vermont in 1847 as D. M. H. Carpenter. The next was in Suffolk county, 
 Mass. in 1849 where he signed his name as D. M. H. Carpenter. In Rock county, Wis., June, 
 1848 he was admitted as counselor and attorney of the Supreme court of Wisconsin, Dec. 20, 
 1850 when he signed his name Matt Hale Carpenter; this is the first as far as known where he 
 signed his name as " Matthew Hale Carpenter." In 1852 he was admitted to practice in the U. 
 S. district court and signed his name as Matt H. Carpenter. He was admitted to practice as an 
 attorney and counselor in the United States Supreme court, Feb. 5, 1862 as Matthew H. Car- 
 penter. When he was nominated by the Repubhcan party for Congress, Carpenter opened his 
 address of acceptance as follows : 
 
 "For 20 years I have been accustomed to public speaking and yet I feel to-night all the embarrass- 
 ment of a man attempting to make his first speech. I have defended men charged with all sorts 
 of crimes, from drunkenness up to murder. This is the first time I have ever stood up to 
 defend myself." He then stated at considerable length his political pedigree, and closed thus: 
 " Now, gentlemen, if, all things considered, you can conscientiously cast your vote for me, I 
 shall be delighted. If not, if you concur with a portion of the press of the state in the 
 opinion that I am not fit to be a republican candidate, but am fit to hold a candle for other can- 
 didates, so be it ; bring on your candidates, and I will stump the state for them every year as 
 long as I live." He was elected Senator for six years, ending March 3, 1875, giving general sat- 
 isfaction. Genera! George E. Bryant, a senator from Madison, was not personahy favorable to 
 Carpenter, but in d speech of some eloquence declared he was compelled to vote for him. He 
 states : 
 
 " I give my vote for Carpenter to-night, because the lovers of universal freedom throughout the 
 United States demand it. I give my vote for Carpenter, because my old comrades in arms, 
 soldiers who served with me in days that tried men's souls, and showed of what metal they were 
 made, demand it. I give my vote for Carpenter, because the great industrial interests of the 
 northwest demand it. I give my vote for Carpenter, because four millions of loyal citizens, from 
 whom Abraham Lincoln struck the accursed shackles of slavery, demand it. I give my vote to 
 Carpenter, because I believe the intelligent sentiment of my district, the men who make and 
 mould public opinion, demand it. And lastly, I give my vote for Carpenter, because duty, 
 earnest, stern and conscientious duty, demands it." 
 
 He was defeated in the nomination of 1875, but elected in 1879. The following is a closing par- 
 agraph of his address to his friends on his being elected : 
 
 " My heart is full of gratitude to the Legislature of Wisconsin for this honor. Following, as it 
 does, upon some unfortunate circumstances in my past history, I appreciate it all the more, and 
 I thank you all the more sincerely. And in accepting this trust from the Legislature of Wis- 
 consin, I can truthfully say I shall be willing to lay down at any time when the Legislature of 
 Wisconsin say I have forfeited or disregarded it." 
 
 There never was a Wisconsin man who could stir enthusiasm, call out audiences and leave behind 
 such lasting effects as Carpenter. In Congress he was called the most perfect orator of the 
 Senate, and before the United States Supreme court was noted for the mellifluous beauty of his 
 deHvery. From time to time all the justices who knew him have uttered tributes to Carpenter's 
 genius and learning similar to the following which is written by Stephen J. Field, that " He was 
 one of the most remarkable men who ever appeared before the Supreme court of the United 
 
 No. 4833; Family 773.

 States." Chief Justice E. G. Ryan, said Carpenter was " a man of profound general ability, and 
 one of the greatest lawyers in the world." He accepted a retaining fee of $10,000 from William 
 W. Barnum, chairman of the National Democratic committee in the Electoral Commission in 
 1877 between the election of Hayes and Tilden. 
 
 (When the clamor of the press against Carpenter's professional engagements was loudest and 
 most unreasonable, his wife wrote that she was sorry and annoyed, and asked whether he could 
 not engage in causes that would please the newspapers. In his reply occurs this sentence : 
 " While I live and have my health, I must walk the mountain ranges of the profession, swept 
 by the storm of human hate and passion. Neither self-respect nor my love for you will permit 
 me to seek the obscurity and consequent shelter of deep valleys and smooth meadows." 
 
 A statement of Matthew Carpenter: 
 
 " Permit me to state in outset why I appear here. It is not because Mr. Tilden was my choice for 
 president; nor is my judgment in this case at all affected by friendship for him as a man, for I 
 have not the honor of B. personal acquaintance with him. I voted against him on Nov. 7, last, 
 and if this tribunal could order a new election I should vote against him again; believing as I 
 do that the accession of the Democratic party to power at this time would be the greatest 
 calamity that could befall our country except one, and that one greater calamity would be to 
 keep them out by falsehood and fraud." 
 
 He was very liberal to the needy and all worthy institutions, he gave $50,000 to the building fund 
 of the Wisconsin State Historical society. The following epitaph composed by Jeremiah S. 
 Black, was written just before his death : 
 
 " The most accomplished orator of his day and generation, he addressed no audience that he did 
 not charm, and touched no subject that he did not adorn. First among senators and foremost 
 of statesmen, he was mighty in word and in deed. True to his country and his conscience, his 
 public career was as stainless as it was lofty. He was worthy to stand as he did, at the head of 
 the legal profession, because he was profoundly versed in its learning, a thorough master of its 
 practical rules, and irresistibly powerful in forensic debates. Yet his family and all his asso- 
 ciates, including the rivals he surpassed, are apt to overlook his shining talents as they recall 
 the generous kindness of his heart ; and admiration of the great jurist, the eloquent advocate, 
 the brilliant senator, the matchless political reader, is lost to them and swallowed up in personal 
 affection for the man."

 THE CARPENTER REUXIOX. 
 
 Tuesday and Wednesday, July 11 and 12, 1893, willlong remain in the memory of the Carpenter 
 family. These two days witnessed in the paternal homestead, now occupied by Mr. and Mrs. 
 Ira Carpenter, a long anticipated and delightful family reunion. This homestead, specially to 
 the minds of the four sons and four daughters of the household, was already consecrated as the 
 birthplace of more than half of the eight, the only remembered childhood home of nearly 
 allot them, and the residence of their revered parents the greater part of their married life. 
 
 Into that home Mr. and Mrs. Austin and Harriet Carpenter moved in the spring of 1849, a few 
 months after the sudden death of Mrs. Carpenter's father, and -Air. Otis Smith, the husband of 
 her sister. 
 
 To these eight sons and daughters of this household every part of this house and its surround- 
 ings is evermore fragrant with memory of "life's bright morning hours." Coming into the 
 house individually is always a pleasure ; much more entering all together, an entire family circle, 
 all that used to cluster about its paternal hearthstone. So the house was entered the evening of 
 the loth of July. 
 
 Except the wife of the eldest of the eight, who died some years since, the concourse included all 
 the wives of the sons and husbands of the daughters, and all of the eleven living grandchildren. 
 The group thus numbered twenty-nine in all, and fully tested the utmost capacity of the hos- 
 pitable home in which it assembled. 
 
 A short time before the supper, the entire company from the eldest to the youngest, clustered 
 close together for somewhat more formal exercises. Miss Nina Carpenter yielded to the wish 
 of her kinsfolk, and kindly read the excellent essay she gave at her recent graduation in West 
 Randolph, Vt. The Rev. Dr. Palmer indulged in reminiscences of his long-time intimacy with 
 the family, speaking as follows : " Forty-three years ago next autumn I first came under this 
 roof and into this home. The father and mother of this family were then in the midst of their 
 active lifework. The honored head of the household seemed so venerable to me then; yet only 
 about two-thirds as old as I am now, just half of what would be his present age were he still 
 spared to us. But 'forty-three ' then seemed to me a very mature age. 
 
 I came into this household, I imagine, something of a curiosity to those I then met for the first 
 time. Not that it was any uncommon thing for 'Aunt Fanny ' to receive the visit of her 
 'friend,' ' suitor,' or 'beau.' Far from it. But perhaps my coming was somewhat exceptional. 
 I came fresh from college, not literally a freshman, but fresh enough, and some of you might tell 
 us interesting things you said behind my back. 1 partially remember some things you said to 
 my face, especially some trials of wit with me on the part of the youngster Marsh. I clearly 
 remember Aunt Lncinda's telling me how ' never a dog came into the house without its being 
 next to impossible to get him to leave.' The time I used to linger before I could ' tear myself 
 away ' no doubt seemed long to her. However, I seem to be kindly received by all the house-

 hold. Not exactly as a member of the family, at least so long as the then little (?) Gene said to 
 me 'not kite my uncle yet;' and I am glad to be felt to-day essential to a 'reunion of the Car- 
 penters.' Forty-three years ago ! Later than my first coming to Brookfield, four of the eight 
 'olive plants ' were added to this household. Marriages have added eight more to the family 
 circle. Sixteen sons and daughters gathered June 5, 1886 at the funeral of your sainted mother. 
 You were then a unbroken band. All the sixteen are gathered to-day. 
 You rarely find so large a family circle as yours, without some ' black sheep in the flock,' some 
 ' skeleton ' in the dark closet, if not conspicuous to all eyes. If any ' skeleton 'exists in all 
 your extended household, it has not been revealed tome." When Dr. Palmerclosed these remin- 
 iscences, Mrs. Palmer read the following stanzas : 
 
 "LINES FOR THE CARPENTER REUNION. 
 
 ' What commotion is this ? * all the railroad men say, 
 ' Whence is this great crowd that are rushing; to-day ? ' 
 Such bustle, confusion, such greeting and hurry. 
 Have set all the trains and their men in a flurry. 
 
 'Tis the Carpenter reunion, so I have heard say. 
 
 That is making the turmoil and bustle to-day ; 
 
 They are gathering their clans from north, south, east and west. 
 
 To the home of their childhood, the spot they love best. 
 
 That home which for four generations has stood, 
 
 The house on the hill by the side of the road, 
 
 'Neath the wide spreading tree, under whose grateful shade, 
 
 We all in the days of our childhood have played. 
 
 That farm in tiie valley, 'mid meadows and hills. 
 Where we roamed in the pastures, and drank of the rills. 
 And picked the wild berries, so large and so fair — 
 There we wandered at will, building castles in the air. 
 
 Can these be the children, with heads badger gray. 
 
 Who have come to the feast of reunion to-day ? 
 
 ■ies, unchanged in their reverence for both father and mother. 
 
 The same in their love for each sister and brother. 
 
 The scenes are much changed, but the home is still here. 
 And on memory's wall are the pictures still clear ; 
 Of the two aged grand-dames, with hearts full of care, 
 Who lived with the children their pleasures to share. 
 
 We miss the welcome of father, so cheerful and bright, 
 Who e'er made us feel that all would come right, 
 And the sweet loving voice of the good mother dear. 
 Who never was wanting to give us good cheer. 
 Their greetings were hearty, their hearts ever warm 
 For the boys and the girls they had shielded from harm. 
 
 We are thankful so many are gathered to-day 
 With children, grand-children, not one makes delay. 
 The good Aunt Lucinda with plenty of tin, 
 \nd the Palmers come up— you have taken all in, 
 A nice little family of twenty and nine. 
 Come forward and form in irregular line. 
 
 First comes Marshall the eldest, with step firm and steady 
 For every good work, hand and heart ever ready — 
 We miss the fond wife of his youth by his side. 
 She is safe in the Harbor whatever betide. 
 
 But in heart we rejoice that alone he comes not ; 
 There are two loving daughters to cheer up his lot, 
 And to-day he will come 'round the family table ; 
 With two faithful children— dear Fannie— pet Mabel. 
 
 Next comes Ira, our host, who presides as a judge ; 
 He takes us all in, owing no one a grudge, 
 With his good wife, our hostess, at whose earnest call. 
 We come under this roof which has sheltered us all.

 And their three loving daughters our warm welcome share ; 
 Xma the eldest, with Geneva the fair, 
 And Lillian too, with her kind pretty ways, 
 Comes in for a share of the family praise. 
 
 Next Emma, unselfish, for all has a care, 
 
 Comes with sweet loving patience, each trouble to share, 
 
 \\'ith D. R. her fond partner who comes by her side, 
 
 A very good husband, but a Jehu to ride ; 
 
 With those two fair misses come on in their place, 
 
 Their blessing and treasure, dear Elsie and Grace. 
 
 Then here comes Eugene, who is all of a quiver, 
 With an eye out for business on both sides the river. 
 With his little wife, Maggie, as still as a mouse, 
 Who whips every fly that comes into the house. 
 
 Petit Jennie has come, with Alden,from Rhoda, 
 And brought their dear treasure, the sweet little Laura, 
 Some other sweet pets to them have been given, 
 Who now are at rest with the angels in heaven. 
 
 And now here comes Annie, a cook fine and rare, 
 With Bessie her daughter, so dainty and fair, 
 With Will K. her husband, counting profit and loss, 
 Who is said to be fond of a very fine horse. 
 
 Next fun-loving Clarence, with Martha comes down. 
 And gentle Irene, with her curls of brown, 
 And Fay is brought forward with triumph and joy, 
 Bearing the banner ' The Carpenter Boy.' 
 
 Then Hattie the youngest, comes forward with pleasure, 
 Bringing a very good Gage for her measure ; 
 And this is the list of tlie Carpenter band, 
 No finer troup can you find in the land. 
 
 Dear Father in heaven, thy name we would appraise 
 For these precious friends of our earlier days ; 
 Their memory has helped us through sunshine and sorrow, 
 To chase away gloom, giving hope for the morrow. 
 
 We do not forget them ; their love yet we prize ; 
 
 They look on us still witli their pure angel eyes ; 
 
 The scenes of to-day will in heart linger long, 
 
 And the sweet ties of friendship are woven more strong. 
 
 Some friends ot our childhood have gone on before, 
 And are waiting for us on the heavenly shore, 
 God grant we may meet them, and there ever stand ; 
 United and humble, a penitent band. 
 
 During the supper hour, Mrs. L. W. Smith manifested her interest in the occasion by the generous 
 gift of $100 to each of her nephews and nieces present, including Mrs. Laura Allis in the 
 number.

 STATE OF «ISCOXSIX tllSTORlCAL SOCIETY, DEC. 17, 187S. 
 
 Gen. Stephen Mills in the chair, announced the sudden death of Dr. Carpenter, for many years a 
 prominent member and officer of this society. A committee was appointed on suitable resolu- 
 tions expressing the regard of the society for their late associate, who reported the following 
 resolutions, entered upon its record, from which the following extracts are taken: 
 
 ■" A man whom we long since learned to recognize as a scholar of large and varied culture ; devoted 
 to the cause of education and to the elevation of our race, ever a Christian gentleman, kind and 
 courteous in his intercourse with his fellowmen; charitable in thought and liberal in all that 
 pertains to benevolence and humanity." 
 
 " Several members of the society who were individually connected in life with the lamented Pro- 
 fessor, sustained the resolutions of respect with remarks on his character and life work.'' 
 
 BY PROF. R. B. A.N'DERSON. 
 
 " Stephen Haskins Carpenter, the son of Calvin G. Carpenter, a Baptist clergyman, was born on 
 Aug. 7, 1831, at Little Falls, Herkimer Co., N. Y. His early education was given him at home ; 
 he prepared for college at Monroe academy, Eldridge, N. Y. In 1848 he entered the freshman 
 class of Madison university, at Hamilton, and remained there for two years, when he entered the 
 University at Rochester. He graduated from this University, receiving the degree of Bachelor 
 of Arts in 1852 ; received the degree of Master of Arts in 1855, and the degree of Dr. of Laws 
 in 1S72. 
 
 While in college he acquired a taste for Greek which led him to read the classic authors exten- 
 sively, he says that he has read the Iliad twelve times through, and the Odyssey six times. In 
 1852 he accepted the appointment of tutor in the University of Wisconsin, which position he 
 held two years, after which time he resigned that position for the purpose of opening a furni- 
 ture and music store in Madison. His partner soon died, and he closed up the business. From 
 1854 to 1858 he was engaged in newspaper work. Nov. 20, 1854 he became the publisher 
 and one of the editors of the Wisconsin Patriot, retiring July 28, 1856. In January, 1857, he 
 began editing his Western Fireside, a model family and literary paper; but he continued it for 
 only one year. Some of the time he served as clerk for the city of Madison, to fill the vacancy 
 caused by the then presiding clerk, from Oct. 7, 1857 to March 3, 185S, at which dme he resigned. 
 From 1858 to i860 he was assistant superintendent of Public Instruction for the state of Wis- 
 consin, having been appointed to that position by Lyman C. Draper. With Mr. Draper he 
 established order in that office and inaugurated much of the system which is still in use there. 
 In i86o, he was elected professor of ancient languages in St. Paul's college at Palmyra, Mo., 
 which position he held until the war broke up the institution. Returning to Wisconsin, he taught 
 select school one winter in Richland county, and then came back to Madison to remain perma- 
 nently. On June 11, 1864 he was elected clerk of the city of .Madison, which position he held

 until Oct. 10, 1868; he was then elected professor of the University of Wisconsin. While 
 acting as clerk he was engaged in various literary enterprises: also served a term of two years 
 as superintendent of schools for the western district of Dane county. During this period he 
 was often called by the last Professor Read to fill his chair in his absence, and rendered valuable 
 assistance to the students of the University. In 1886, the executive committee of the Univer- 
 sity appointed Professor Carpenter to fill temporarily the chair of Prof. Read, who has been 
 called to the presidency of the University of Missouri ; and in 1868 he was elected professor of 
 Rhetoric and English Literature, and his connection with the University continued from this 
 time, without interruption, until his death. In 1S75 he was elected to the presidency of the Uni- 
 versity of Kansas, but declined. From the year he graduated until he died. Professor Carpen- 
 ter was a close, indefatigable student and a diligent writer. He has made numerous and valu- 
 able contributions to the religious and educational periodical press of our country. He was 
 distinctively an educated teacher in his ability to impart instruction : in his aptness to teach lay 
 his special power and not one man in ten thousand could equal him. Here was his chosen field ; 
 it was the work nearest to his heart. 
 The last years of his life were spent in the University of Wisconsin; his work speaks for itself. 
 That institution is not insensible of its present bereavement, nor will it soon forget Professor 
 
 Carpenter's faithful services.

 Remarks from Gen. David Atwood of the Wisconsin State Journal: 
 
 " Of his great superiority as a teacher, his associates have spoken in appropriate terms. 1 will 
 only add that in travelling a few years ago in .Massachusetts I met Dr. Paul A. Chadbourne, 
 formerly the president of the \\'isconsin University, and in conversation about men, that gen- 
 tleman remarked, were he to point out the very best college professor within the scope of his 
 acquaintances, that man would be Prof. S. H. Carpenter. This is a high compliment from a 
 distinguished source, and is well deserved. 
 
 In addition to the accomplishments that 1 have imperfectly set forth, he was a thoroughly culti- 
 \-ated musician, and composed music with facility. It is extremely rare that a man is found 
 who possesses so versatile a character as did our friend, and one who never made a failure in 
 whatever he undertook. The resolutions of respect for Dr. Carpenter's character, and high 
 appreciation of his literary and educational work, were passed unanimously, and the proceed- 
 ings were ordered to be published." 
 
 (~)f the State Historical society. Dr. Carpenter was a prominent and active member. He was 
 elected into its executive board in Januarj-, 1S54. He was librarian for the year of 1855 ; wrote 
 for several years the reports of the art acquisitions, and continued a member of the executive 
 committee until his death, with the exception of the brief period of his absence from Madison. 
 He frequently responded to the numerous calls throughout the state as a popular lecturer, and 
 engaged in frequent pulpit services. He took a prominent part in the proceedings of the State 
 Educational association, and acted on the state board of examiners of the Madison board of 
 education; he visited the normal school, etc., and had a rare faculty of being able to do all these 
 things well.

 Remarks from the president, John Bascomb of the State University ; 
 
 " His thought was pre-eminently logical; he saw quickly, and traced rapidly the relation of things. 
 Logic was a favorite science with him, and he gave it more enforcement in the minds of pupils 
 than any other teacher Avhom I have ever known, It was the strong hold of his instruction. He 
 was also a man of quick personal feeling." 
 
 * * * * ^ * * 
 By Prof. J. B. Parkinson of the University: 
 
 "He was not a mere book worm, groping among library shelves withoutend or aim, and devouring 
 books for the sheer love of it ; he read much, but always seemingly for a distinct purpose and to 
 good effect ; but his help to knowledge was not in books alone. He seemed to absorb informa- 
 tion in a peculiar manner from everything with which he came in contact. He took pride in his 
 profession, and while his primary aim Avas to hold his own special department of instruction well 
 in hand, he always found time to keep familiar with the best thoughts upon all the leading

 questions of the day, he was emphatically, a ready man, reaching his conclusions upon most 
 questions with lightning speed." 
 
 On May 14, 1856, he married Miss Frances Catherine Curtis, in whom he found a loving and 
 trustful wife ; a woman who entered with great zeal into all his work, rejoicing with him in all his 
 successes and taking her full share in times of adversity. They had no children, and she is 
 now left alone to mourn the loss of a devoted and faithful husband. 
 
 He received a dispatch from his brother. Dr. Calvin Carpenter of Geneva. N. Y., that he was 
 very ill. He left Madison on the next train and reached Geneva just in time to receive a frater- 
 nal blessing from his brother, who died immediately after his arrival. A day or two later, Mrs. 
 Carpenter, the professor's wife, who remained at their home in Madison received a letter from 
 her husband saying that he would not be able to return as soon as he had anticipated; that was 
 all he said about himself. Saturday morning Mrs. Carpenter received a postal card stating that 
 her husband was suffering from quinsy, an old enemy of the Professor's. But a few moments 
 later, Mr. A. H. Main received a telegram from Professor Carpenter's niece, dated Dec. 7, 1878, 
 announcing his sudden death that morning, probably from a piece of membrane falling into or 
 over the windpipe. In the premature death of Professor Carpenter the country has lost an able 
 educator, an erudite scholar, an able and lucid writer. The University has been robbed of one 
 of its most efficient teachers, and Madison mourns for one of her best and most respected citi- 
 zens. Yet great as this noble man was in his public works, he was greater and more loved in 
 private Hfe. His friends can never forget that genial face and the frankness and goodness of 
 his heart.

 Caroline B., his first wife, graduated at a French college in Canada, and completed her education 
 in the English branches at the St. Johnsbury academy; and commenced teaching very young 
 and was very successful. 
 
 Cosbi May, his second wife completed her education at St. Johnsbury. She proved to be an 
 excellent teacher and succeeded in convincing the pupils that she was not only their teacher but 
 their mistress, by which she secured good order and attention, so mildly that she obtained the 
 good will of the scholars. 
 
 Mr. Cummings was very successful in his trade as a carpenter, and proved himself to be a superior 
 workman. The labor proved to be too severe for his constitution, and he moved to Clinton, 
 Iowa and went into the mercantile business with his brother. He now resides there. 
 
 5223. V. Amos Herbert was b. Jan. i, 1855. 
 
 He fitted for college at the St. Johnsbury academy, and graduated in June, 1S74. He entered 
 Dartmouth college and graduated in 1878 ; he then commenced the study of law, and entered 
 the office of Belden & Ide of St. Johnsbury. He soon after entered the office of his uncle, 
 A. P. Carpenter of Bath, N. H., assistant justice of the supreme court of the state 
 of New Hampshire. He completed the reading of the law in the ofifice of John M. Young, Esq., 
 of Derby, Vt, and was admitted to the bar of Orleans county in September, 1880. He first 
 commenced the practice of law at Middlebury, Vt., but on account of an attack of the fever 
 and ague, caused by the dampness of the atmosphere there, he removed, and in 1882 he formed 
 a partnership with C. B. Leslie, J-^sq., of Wells River, Vt for one year, at the close of which he 
 went to Minnesota and formed a partnership with Martin V. B. Drew, Esq., and at the end of 
 the year he entered the employ of Osborn & Co. of Minneapolis, who were doing an extensive 
 business throughout the west, as their attorney on a salary. At the close of the j^ear he was 
 employed by some eastern heirs to prosecute their rights to an estate in Stockton, Cal. He was 
 very successful in presenting their claims against adverse circumstances, showing that he was 
 not only a good judge of the law, but a good lawyer.

 He graduated at the St. Johnsbury academy ; his health would not permit his 
 
 taking of a profession, therefore his occupation is fanning. He is now on the 
 
 homestead at Waterford, with which he has connected a creamery. 
 
 He has filled the office of superintendent of schools and also other town offices. At the last 
 election he was elected a justice of the peace. .Mabel, his wife, graduated at the St. Johnsbury

 two children: i, Julia, b. at Concord, N. H., Sept. 8, 1878, entered Bryn 
 Mawr college, Bryn Mawr, Penn., with honors in September, 1896 ; 2, 
 Thomas Winthrop, b. at Concord, July 20, 1883, entered St. Paul's school, 
 Concord, N. H., in September, 1896. 
 
 As prime mover and organizer of the Concord Ramabai circle, as trustee of the Margaret Pills- 
 bury general hospital, as leader of an earnest band of " King's Daughters," as a devoted 
 member and teacher of the Unitarian Sunday-school, as founder and first president of the Con- 
 cord Woman's club and as president of the State Federation of Woman's clubs, Lillian Carpen- 
 ter Streeter has given true, devoted and unselfish service in every relation, at the same time ful- 
 filling every demand of the social life of the capital city, of which she is one of the brightest 
 ornaments. She was the first New Hampshire woman to labor for the cause of federation and 
 was state chairman of correspondence for New Hampshire with the General Federation of 
 Woman's clubs for two years. She was appointed in 1895, by the governor, a member of the 
 New Hampshire commission to the Atlanta exposition. 
 
 In the fulness of the vigor of his young manhood, already reaping the fruits of his industry, Frank 
 S. Streeter stands in the front rank of New Hampshire lawyers. Mr. Streeterwas born in 
 Charleston, Vt, Aug. 5, 1853, but his youth was spent in St. Johnsbury, Vt. He graduated from 
 the St. Johnsbury academy and entered Dartmouth as a sophomore, graduating therefrom in 
 
 1884, and during the following year was principal of the Ottumwa, Iowa, high school. He read 
 law in the office of Hon. A. P. Carpenter at Bath and was admitted to the bar in March, 1877. 
 For six months he practised his profession at Orford, N. H., but, seeking a wider field, he came 
 to Concord and formed a partnership with J. H. Albin, continuing in his relation for one year, 
 at that time forming a partnership with Hon. William* M. Chase, which continued until 1891, 
 when Mr. Chase was appointed to the supreme bench, and the firm then became Streeter, 
 Walker & Chase by the admission of Arthur H. Chase, son of the former senior partner and 
 R. E. Walker. Mr. Chase retired from the firm Nov. i, 1894 and the firm became Streeter, 
 Walker & HoUis by the admission of Mr. Allen HoUis. Mr. Streeter's life has been so filled 
 with urgent demands of large professional duties, that he has been able to give little time to 
 other interests. Yet he has found opportunity to serve his party in the legislature, sitting as a 
 member from Ward 4, Concord, in the session of 1S95 and presiding at the republican state con- 
 vention of 1892. He was a delegate to the national Republican convention at St. Louis in June, 
 1896, and was subsequently elected a member of the executive committee of the Republican 
 party in New Hampshire. He has always been deeply interested in the welfare of Dartmouth 
 college and his election to the board of trustees of the college by the vote of the alumni was a 
 deserved reward for his labors in bringing about the desired result. Mr. Streeter is a legal 
 specialist, dealing almost wholly in cases involving large corporate interests, though the general 
 practice of his firm is wide and varied. He was one of the general counsel of the Concord & 
 Montreal railroad and in this capacity carried through to a successful issue nearly all the road's 
 important litigation for five years. Since the consolidation of the Concord & Montreal railroad 
 with the Boston & Maine railroad in June, 1895, Mr. Streeter has been one of the leading 
 counsel for the Boston & Maine railroad in New Hamp.shire.

 The following biographical notice is extracted from a longer one that appeared in the New York 
 Journal, Feb. 20, 1897, announcing his appointment as first assistant district attorney in New 
 York City: 
 
 " He was prepared for college at the academy at St. Johnsbury, Vt, in which his father had 
 taken a similar preparatory course 30 years before. In 1873 he entered Dartmouth college, 
 where, after a four years course of diligent study, he graduated in 1877. M''- Carpenter subse- 
 quently entered on the special study of law and was admitted to the New Hampshire baron 
 Sept. 2, 1880. Selecting Lancaster, N. H., as his field of practice he continued there until June, 
 
 1885, gaining a good clientage. His period of residence in the city of New York began in 
 1885. Since that date he has continued in New York steadily, very successfully engaged in the 
 practice of his profession. * * * in New York his practice became large 
 and had gradually drifted towards ' corporation law,' to which branch of practice his tastes and 
 opportunities led him. In addition to the important clients in this field which he has gained in 
 New York he is * * * also counsel for two New York banks."

 Technology by Mr. Moses Woolson in Concord, N. H. He showed much ability, but little 
 physical strength and was sent west for a year or two of out-of-door life before he should go on 
 with his studies. He remained in the west, in Kansas, Dakota and Arkansas for several years. 
 He came back in 1886, studied law with his elder brother Philip in New York and was admitted 
 to the bar, the first of his class, in December, 1S89. He practised law for two years in New 
 York before he went to Chicago. He left manuscripts that showed considerable ability but 
 never finished anything for publication.

 and was afterwards played at the Empire theater, in April of the same year, at a public matinee. 
 In November, 1895, her story " Your Money or Your Life " took the third prize, of gi,ooo, in the 
 New York Herald's novel competition ; and was published in book form by the Scribnei's in the 
 spring of 1896. All her literary work is done under her maiden name of Edith Carpenter.

 of John M. Whitall of Philadelphia. Dr. Thomas is a trustee of the Johns Hopkins university 
 and of several other educational institutions, and his eldest daughter, M. Carey Thomas is pres-

 He received his education in the public and private schools and academies in Massachusetts, where 
 he prepared for college. He entered into the straw business at the age of 20, in the employment 
 of Oliver Carpenter and went South to sell goods ; while yet a minor he was taken into partner- 
 ship by his employer and tb-iy established and he had charge of a branch store in Richmond, 
 A'a. His interest in the bonnet business increased until he consolidated the several manufactur- 
 ing establishments in Foxboro and at the age of 30 built the Union Straw Works, then the largest 
 factory of its kind in the world, employing nearly six hundred people. In 1S61 he went to Eng- 
 land and interested new capital. He continued with the straw works until 1S70 when he left the 
 business for railroad interests. He was the first president of the Foxboro Branch railroad 
 which finally grew into the .Mansfield and Framingham railroad : he had the charge of building 
 this road and was the president and largest owner in the Framingham and Lowell railroad. He 
 has since been president of the Alartha"s A'ineyard railroad which he built and of the N. Y., B. 
 & S. railroad. In 1S65 he erected the first cottage in Cottage City and organized the Oak Bluff 
 Land & Wharf Company to develop this place. He has been president and leading spirit in 
 this company nearly ever since. He had personal supervision in the laying out of parks, streets 
 and the building of the Sea A'iew house, (costing over Sioo,ooo), of the wharf, annex, and hun- 
 dreds of cottages at Cottage Citv. He has also been interested as promoter and director in

 1895, is the president of the Van Choate Electric Company which is now erecting the largest 
 manufacturing plant in Foxboro. He has ever been a moving spirit in securing tlie progress 
 and prosperity of his native town and has served on many of its official boards and committees. 
 He has had the charge of erecting the Foxboro town house, memorial hall and many school 
 buildings, Union straw works, and Neponset straw works, and many others. He was one of 
 the originators, corporators and first president of the Foxboro savings bank. Loan Fund and 
 Building association and Cemetery corporation. It is through his efforts the fund was secured 
 for building the Carpenter memorial chapel in North Hill cemetery. He contributed liberally 
 towards the first reliable fire engine, and for some time was foreman of the fire engine company. 
 He contributed the pulpit of Bethel church and was president of the Temperance reform club 
 which did a great work in 1S77 and 1878. During the war he organized and commanded a rifle 
 company and exhibited such an interest in our soldiers that the G. A. R. Post and W. R. Corps 
 are named in his honor. In 1857 he caused to be established the printing office now publishing 
 the Reporter. By his efforts over $1,000 was secured for the public library of which he was 
 one of the trustee.s. In 1872, 1S73 and 1874 he was elected to the state senate, and served as 
 chairman of the railroad committee. The Senate ordered 10,000 copies of his address on the 
 Hoosac Tunnel question. He was very prominent in all matters of interest to the state. In 
 1891, he was a member of the House of Representatives. In 1878 he was chairman of the 
 town's centennial and executive committee and delivered the historical oration, June 29. It is 
 difficult to conceive of any one man who has done so much for so many sections of the country 
 and for the welfare of so many different people and on so many different lines of enterprise as 
 has been accomplished by Hon. E. P. Carpenter. He is now in his 73d year, active, vigorous, 
 and working steadily many more than the 10 hours per day in the interests of his many enter- 
 prises and for the welfare of his fellow men, enjoying the respect, esteem, love and confidence of 
 all who know him.

 The Carpenter memorial chapel was built by the trustees named in the will, see No. 3159, viz.: 
 Erastus P. Carpenter, Williard P. Tin-ne?- 2j\A David Carpenter. This chapel is built entirely 
 of blue field stone in its natural state, laid in Portland cement ; it will seat about 100 persons ; 
 has a fine basement, receiving room and tool room for the cemetery ; total cost, including 
 furnishings, about $3,500. 
 
 David Carpenter has been much interested in the genealogy of the Carpenter family, and has 
 rendered valuable assistance to the compiler ; he has written several articles on his branch of 
 the family which have appeared in print. He has many things in his possession handed down in 
 the family line, which are of much interest, one worthy of mention, a remarkable clock, which 
 has come down from his great-grandfather Nehemiah, which has the merit of value in itself, 
 and the greater value of antiquity. It cannot now be bought for any sum. It was not considered 
 of much value by the family previous to the present generation, but was considered differently 
 by Nehemiah, and as worthy of special mention in his will. In his will he gives his household 
 furniture, with the exception of the clock, to his three daughters.

 Cyrus attended the common schools in Pennsylvania for three or four months a year until the 
 year 1846. He then taught winters and w orked on a farm during lhe summer for three or four 
 years. With the money thus raised he paid his expenses for several months at an academy 
 which had been established in his native town. After leaving this institution in 1852, he started 
 westward, and stopping on the way he taught school for a year and one-half to replenish his 
 funds. He then pushed on to Iowa, reaching Des Moines in June, 1854. A few days later he 
 started on foot up the Des Moines valley, and found his way to Fort Dodge with but a half 
 dollar in his pocket. He frankly told the landlord where he stopped of his circumstances, offer- 
 ing to do any kind of labor until something should turn up. On the evening of his arrival he 
 heard a government contractor state that his chief land surveyor had left him and that he was 
 going out to find another. 
 His circumstances were so desperate at this time that he at once offered his services to the gentle- 
 man ; was promptly accepted, with a promise of steady employment if he should be found com- 
 petent. He fulfilled his time in accordance with the agreement. He was thus led into the land 
 business, and from the autumn of 1S55, when the land office was established at Fort Dodge, 
 much of his time was devoted to surveying and selecting lands for buyers; in fact, it was a gen- 
 eral land agency. During this period he devoted such time as he could spare to reading law, as 
 his future profession. Soon after the civil war began, he entered the army, and before going 
 onto the battle field he was commissioned as captain in the staff department, and served over 
 three years, attaining the rank of lieutenant colonel, being mustered out as brevet colonel, 
 lie was elected land surveyor of Webster county in the spring of 1856, and the year after he was 
 elected a representative to the General Assembly, and served in that body, held at Des Moines. 
 He was elected register of the state land office in 1866; was re-elected in 1868, and held the 
 ofifice four years. He declined to be a candidate for renomination. He was elected governor of 
 the state in 187 1 and re-elected two years later, making an able and popular executive. In his 
 first inaugural address, delivered on the nth of January, 1872, he made a strong plea for tlie 
 State University, and especially its normal department for the Agricultural College, and for 
 whatever would advance the ni;iterial progress and prosperity of the people, urging in particular 
 the introduction of more manufactories. 
 In June, 1873, Governor Carpenter delivered a long and masterly address before the patrons of 
 
 Husbandry of Iowa. It was full of happy suggestions like the following: 
 ■" In order to increase in knowledge as we ought, we must make the most of time, and to this end 
 we must improve our machinery, improve our stock, and cheapen our processes of transporta- 
 tion. One important feature in this transportation problem, I have passed over, and that is a 
 wise condensation of marketable commodities. To-day our canned fruits, tomatoes and sweet 
 corn, bottled pickles, dried beef and many of our sugar-cured hams are brought from the eastern 
 market. We go from our rich soil to states where it is necessary to use from Sioo to §150 worth 
 of fertilizers to an acre of ground, to buy the luxuries which grow here in natural soil. The 
 Grange must teach us wisdom which will doom such nonsense. The Grange must teach also 
 that prodigality of the rich does not conduce to the benefit of the poor. It is often said if the 
 rich squander money somebody gets it ; it is distributed and does somebody good. This is not 
 true. Suppose a rich man should hire labor to raise corn, and then gratify his caprice by burn- 
 ing the corn, somebody would probably go hungry for this prodigality, notwithstanding money 
 may have been distributed to pay the labor required to raise the corn. This principle holds 
 good in respect to all capital squandered in gratification of vanity or passion."

 At the expiration of his second term as governor he was appointed without his knowledge of the 
 design to do so, second comptroller of the United States Treasury; he resigned after holding 
 that office about 15 months. He was influenced to take this step at that time because another 
 bureau officer was to be dismissed, as the head of the department held that Iowa had more 
 heads of bureaus than she was entitled to ; thus his resigning an office of a higher grade saved 
 a man who deserved to remain in government employ. 
 
 They have no children of their own, but a niece of Mrs. Carpenter's, Miss Fannie Buckholder, has 
 lived with them since childhood. 
 
 Governor Carpenter has led a pure, true and upright life. Of the many men who served as he did 
 
 in the Commissary department, some managed to save tens of thousands of dollars out of a sal- 
 
 'ary of two thousand or three thousand per annum. Men who made something out of the army 
 
 are known to every reader of maturer years. Governor Carpenter came out about as poor as 
 
 he entered the army. 
 
 He has always been a diligent and careful reader and student. It is doubtful if he ever sat down 
 to seriously consider the subject of money making, but on the contrary, has always been ready 
 to divide his last dollar with the destitute.

 Mr. Horton attended school until he was 16 years of age, when he became assistant in his father's 
 store taking entire charge at his father's death. In the spring of 1S62 he enlisted in the service of 
 the civil war for nine months, as a private. Sept. 2, he was elected lieutenant, and on the same 
 month he was mustered into the service in Company C, 47th regiment and in December he 
 embarked for New Orleans, where they arrived Jan. i, 1863. At the resignation of the captain, 
 he was elected captain. He returned home in August, 1893, receiving the recommendations of 
 the colonel for his ability and faithful service. On his return he acted as a recruiting officer 
 for the 58th Massachusetts regiment, and was commissioned captain of Company C, of that regi- 
 ment. He participated in the battle of the Wilderness, and after the battle of Cold Harbor, 
 Lieut. Col. White recommended Capt. Horton for promotion and he was raised to the position of 
 major. The commander being wounded June 3, he acted as commander up to Sept. 30, 1864, at 
 which time, when leading the regiment into action, a few miles south of Petersbui'g, he was. 
 made a prisoner, and on Oct. 3, he reached Libby prison. Oct. 8, he was sent to Salisbury, N. 
 C, and on the 19th, to Danville, Va. where he was kept until Jan. 27, 1865, at which time he was. 
 selected as a hostage and sent back to Libby. Feb. 22, he and his companions and many others 
 were paroUed and sent to the Union lines. The following are his own words of the horrors of 
 Libby prison: 
 
 " Pen can never write the whole truth, and if it could be told, no one would beUeve that it was 
 possible for men to survive it, or possible that any one in the 19th century could be guilty of 
 such barbarism. I can never forget that day, no, never, never, never ; my family did not hear 
 from me for five months and I was reported dead. My first letter to my wife, on a ' flag of truce ' 
 boat, on James river, Feb. 22, 1865 : ' Dear Wife :— Out of the jaws of death, out of the gates, 
 of hell, once more in the land of the living. Well. Love to all. Everett.' " 
 
 He was granted a furlough for thirty days, was soon exchanged and left for his home. He soon 
 rejoined his regiment in Virginia, on the day that Petersburg was captured, and was soon, 
 ordered to Washington, and mustered out of service June 12, 1865. 
 
 " Dear Major ;— It is with pleasure I extend to you my high appreciation of the very efficient 
 and successful manner in which you on all occasions commanded your regiment and the prompt- 
 ness and cheerfulness with which you have performed your every duty while under my 
 command. Wishing you success, I remain, 
 
 (Signed) J. C. Curtin, Brevet Brig. General." 
 
 He was universally popular with officers and soldiers, and was an efficient officer. At the close of 
 the war he became manager of the establishment of Daniels & Cornell, in Providence, R. I. 
 until the year 1880. He is now the senior partner of the firm of Horton & Angell in Attleboro 
 Mass. Since the organization of the G. A. R. Post in Attieboro, he has been much interested, 
 and has contributed largely in maintaining the thriving post; has been its commander several 
 times, also the commander of the Bristol county association of the G. A. R. He is a commis- 
 sioner in the Water Supply Sinking fund and trustee and secretary of the Richardson School 
 fund, and one of the directors of the Attleboro Savings and Loan association and president of

 Jesse L. lived in a large square house built by his grandfather, Jesse Carpenter, in iS-'5 then it

 around. At the time the house was erected it was commented upon by the neighbors as being 
 built without reason or judgment, owing to its enormous size. After 70 years standing, it is con- 
 sidered a modern house in many respects, particularly in the finish of the interior; it is very 
 well preserved. It was really a wise investment. The large tract of land of several hundred 
 acres connected with the home place on which this house was built was an unbroken tract, 
 usedfor farming purposes only ; by the energy of his father, Jesse R. Carpenter, who graded 
 and built roads, and laid out streets, it now comprises the most beautiful streets of the village. 
 
 Extract from a clipping of an Attleboro paper : 
 
 " A pleasant social event at the residence of Jesse L. Carpenter, June 7, 1894, was the marriage of 
 his daughter. Miss A. Louise to Herbert C. Bliss, by the Rev. George Osgood, rector of Grace 
 church of North Attleboro. After the marriage a reception was given, and with hand-shaking 
 and well-wishes they left for New York. They received over forty valuable presents, mostly 
 silverware, which were all useful articles. It proved not only a pleasant but a very profitable 
 event to the bride and bridegroom."

 His father and mother and all of his brothers and sisters belonged to the orthodox churches, he 
 was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church of his native village for more than 35 years. 
 He .served as class leader nearly 30 years till he was compelled by physical disability to relinquish 
 this labor which he had so cheerfully performed. He took an active part and contributed 
 largely in building the new church. His special request that his funeral should be held in the 
 Methodist meeting house, and said " this old body of mine is rather shattered, but I am all right, 
 weeping may endure for a night but joy rometh in the morning, in the morning of the resurrec- 
 tion. In the Christian's home in glory there remains a home for me." He completed the 
 arrangement for his funeral, gave the text and the hymns calmly, and said my work is done.

 City. 
 
 It was probably this John who was an impressed seaman on board the British ship Ramilles. In 
 1813, while the British fleet lay upon the coast, near New London, Conn., it was ascertained 
 that a young American named John Carpenter was an impressed seaman on board the Ramilles, 
 where he had served for five years. He belonged to Norwich, and contrived in some way to 
 let his friends know of his situation. His father went to the vessel with a flag of truce and 
 the proper testimonials in order to obtain if possible, his release. An affecting scene took place 
 when the father and son met on the deck of the ship. Commodore Hardy expressed his sym- 
 pathy, and the proper formaUties having passed, he discharged the man. — History of New 
 London. 
 
 Another account says that when the father visited the ship, it appears that the commander doubted 
 his story, that his son was on board, and he placed his men on deck and told him to pick him out, 
 which he readily did.

 5958. I. Harvey was b. in Cornish, N. H. Residence, Boston. 
 
 He wrote some brief sketches of some of his ancestors. He was born in Cornish or Hanover, 
 N. H., July 22, 1819, and accompanied his parents to Vermont and afterwards to Hanover, where 
 he remained but a short time; on the morning of Nov. 22. 1S42, he'left for Boston, where he 
 resided until his death. He seiwed a regular three years' course of study at Kimball's Union 
 academy, N. H., and entered Dartmouth college, 1842, and was appointed by President Lord as 
 monitor of his class, was honorably discharged the same year from the college, in consequence 
 of poor health, to engage in more active duties of mercantile trade, which business he was in 
 until his death. Among his papers, we find the following : 
 
 " Boston, May 24, 1881. 
 
 As I intend to soon leave Boston, the city of my adoption, I hope that when I die tlie circum- 
 stances may be such that the last verse in my poem on Mt. Auburn cemetery may prove true in 
 relation to my remains." 
 
 The verse he referred to reads thus; 
 
 ■■ With kindred's dust e'er unforgot, 
 
 Let mine repose when life hath fled 
 \\ ithin thy gates, dear hallowed spot, 
 
 ' ilt. Auburn,' ' City of the Dead.' "

 " Dr. Warner W. Carpenter died at his residence in this village, last Sunday morning at the age 
 of 75 years. He had been in the practice of medicine for 58 years or more, and was regarded 
 by the profession as among the best. His patients never had cause to complain of lack of 
 attention or good judgment. As a citizen and a neighbor, he stood very high in the estimation 
 of all who knew him. In the death of Dr. Carpenter, the town and the county lose one of its 
 best men."

 1879, in Baltimore. A minister in the Methodist Episcopal church. 
 
 The following is from a biographical sketch of his life : 
 
 " His early life was one of intense devotion to study. When quite a j'outh he was recognized as 
 an excellent scholar, having at the age of 12 thoroughly mastered all the English branches then 
 taught in the common schools of New England. A year or two later he is found contributing 
 articles of decided merit to various papers. He composed with equal facihty in verse or prose 
 and at the age of 15 was heard from the platform as an acceptable lecturer. Having shown 
 himself such an accomplished student it was a source of regret at the time that he was to be 
 denied the advantages of a collegiate training. This did not however, change the fact as just 
 at the period when his university career might have begun he was thrown upon hisown resources 
 for a livelihood. Notwithstanding his reverses he went to work with a will and in the moments 
 snatched from manual labor, laid the foundation of a manhood than which, in its way, it has 
 been the privilege of but few to be more brilliant. In the classical and scientific branches 
 taught in our American colleges he became thoroughly proficient. Afterwards a knowledge of 
 the law was added and then that of medicine. Theology of course remained the central theme 
 on which his best endeavors have been concentrated. When quite young he went to Illinois. 
 In 1857 he professed religion and then, for the first time, were his thoughts seriously directed 
 towards the ministry. In 1858 he was received on trial in the Illinois conference. Indeed his 
 first efforts were so successful that his subsequent career seems but the fulfilment of the predic- 
 tion uttered in his youth concerning him. He was called to the first appointments in the state 
 and through the west, and became one of the most brilliant divines known in that section. In 
 1870 he accepted a charge at Evansville, Ind., as the pastor of Trinity church, the largest of the 
 denomination in that state. His eloquence had the natural effect of drawing crowds to hear 
 him and his zeal in promoting the material welfare of the church was equally fruitful in its con- 
 sequences. At the close of his term in Evansville he was called to the Fourth St. church at 
 Wheehng, W. Va., where he remained one year when he accepted the invitation to preside over 
 Grace church in Baltimore; there the grandest results of his ministry were achieved, he pleased 
 the public ear at once and perhaps no better evidence is needed of the enthusiasm he 
 inspired, than the erection of the splendid structure in which the congregation has since con- 
 tinued to worship."

 Charles Tubbs, Esq., of Osceola, writes that Abijah emigrated to Pennsylvania at an early day 
 and gives the names of his 12 children, no mention of being a twin. Abijah went west. George 
 S. states that he is very sure that his father was Abijah and a twin to Charles and that he had 
 only two children, George S. and Eliza C. The father of George S. died when he was a small 
 child and he does not recollect the names of the family. The similarity of the names Abishur 
 and Abijah probably causes the difference of opinion as to who were the twins in the family and 
 the father of George S. See note under family 2734.

 It is probably this Samuel W. who served in the last war, as we find by record a Samuel W. Car- 
 penter volunteered as ist lieutenant April 18, 1861, and mustered in April 22, 1861 and mustered 
 out July 31, 186 1. Another record states that Samuel W. Carpenter served as captain, residence, 
 Waterbury, Conn.; he enlisted Aug. 4, 1862 and was mustered in Aug. 24, 1862. Was then ist

 burg, Va. Transferred as captain of Company E, Sept. 15, 1863, was discharged, Nov. 29, 
 1867 as member of Company C, 14th regiment, Dwight Morris, colonel. 
 
 A more complete account is given by a member of the family: " Samuel Walker Carpenter 
 enlisted as private in the ist Connecticut regiment of infantry, at the first call of Abraham Lin- 
 coln, April, 1861 for three months, was promoted to second lieutenant before the regiment left 
 New Haven, Conn, for Wasliington. He was again promoted to ist lieutenant, at Washington, 
 and participated in the first battle of Bull Run. He was in the brigade commanded by Colonel 
 afterwards Gen. E. D. Keyes and composed of the ist, 2d and 3d Connecticut and 2d Maine 
 volunteer infantry, which was the only brigade of the whole army which kept its organization 
 intact, at the memorable defeat ; marching back to Falls Church, Va. in good order, thus sav- 
 ing over one million dollars' worth of property belonging to the government. He was mustered 
 out with the regiment at New Haven, Conn, late in July of 1861. He again volunteered in the 
 14th regiment of Connecticut volunteers mustered in as captain of Company C, of that regi- 
 ment at Hartford, Conn., Aug. 20, 1862. The regiment left for Washington the next day, and 
 was assigned to the 2d army corps, and participated in the battle of Antietam, Sept. 17, 1862.

 in the foot in the charge made on Alarye's Heights he being then in command of his regiment 
 his superior officers all being killed or wounded. His wound ha\ing disabled him for active 
 service, he was transferred as captain to the U. S. veteran reserve corps in which he served till

 Charles Valentine emigrated from Uxbridge, Mass., in 1837, and settled at Dundee, Kane Co., III., 
 on land purchased of the U. S. government by his brother, Daniel G. Carpenter, on which he 
 Uved till his death. By making additions from time to time he acquired a farm of 200 acres. 
 For 30 years the farm was stocked with sheep. As the city of Chicago grew, there was a 
 demand for milk. He soon fell into line with his neighbors and became a producer of milk. 
 He commenced housekeeping in a log cabin on his brother's farm. In 1845 he erected a more 
 comfortable and pretentious dwelling, a frame house. The lumber was drawn from Chicago by 
 team, a distance of about 40 miles. His house was noted for its hospitalities for 30 years. Ire 
 this house his daughter Maria was married Aug. 30, 1843, to John Spring Buck and in this house 
 the granddaughter, Lilian Eugenia Buck, was born, June 15, 1845. Here the wife of Charles. 
 Valentine died and here his brother, Daniel George, died January 6, 1874. Plere the grand- 
 daughter, L. E. Buck, was married to George Frederick Alvedson; here their two children were 
 born ; here Charles V. Carpenter's second wife died and from here his own body was borne. 
 This house now, in 1895, is occupied by his only living heir, Mrs. Lilian E. Buck Alvedson. 
 Around the farm and encroaching on its borders has grown the northeastern portion of Carpen- 
 tersville. Charles V. was generous to a fault, his faults were few, his worthy acts many.

 Joseph d. in Providence, R. I., Aug. 14, 1886, aged 72 years. A merchant 
 and manufacturer. 
 
 Joseph's mansion on Washington Street was sold in 1856 to make room for the new public library 
 building. The dwelling house was erected nearly Go years ago and at that time was one of the 
 finest dwelling houses in the city and has been occupied ty the family for more than 50 years. 
 
 Obituary notice : " In this city, Aug. 14, 1SS6, Joseph Carpenter died in the 72d year of his age. 
 He was born in Uxbridge, Mass., March 10, 1815. His early education was received at the 
 village school and was limited to the advantages which a few years could afford. Several years 
 were passed in the store, then kept by the late Deacon Josiah Chapin in Uxbridge. Afterwards 
 he removed to Providence, and was clerk in the wool business of the late Royal Chapin, No. 
 6281. His remarkable industry and the evidences of unusual business ability were soon 
 observed by the leading merchants of Providence. In a few years he commenced business on 
 his own account, associated with partners, and in a short time had estabhshed and developed 
 the largest ' Pulled Wool' business at that time in New England. In all his business relations, 
 he was prompt and tireless, scrupulously just and exact. He was conscious of his own ability 
 and integrity, and judging others by his own standard, he often over estimated their capacities, 
 which in several instances resulted in great pecuniary losses to himself. He believed in his 
 fellowmen to the last, and the hardest lesson for him to learn, was that anyone was capable of 
 doing a deliberate act of injustice. In the prime of his life, he was identified with the public 
 interests of our city. He was a competent and efficient member of our state legislature. He 
 was first among the merchants of Providence to pay for original surveys for the Providence & 
 Worcester railroad and he probably more than any other person, urged forward the organiza- 
 tion and construction of this road, which has aided so much in developing the growth, not only 
 •of Providence, but of towns now flourishing along the Blackstone ri\er. An incident is mentioned 
 in this connection ; at a meeting of capitahsts of Providence, held to consider the expediency 
 of building the Worcester railroad, i\Ir. Duncan inquired of Mr. Carpenter what reason he 
 had for believing the road would succeed, when the Blackstone canal had proved a failure, to 
 which he made a characteristic reply ' That he could not well conceive of the success of a canal 
 that was frozen every winter and dry every summer.' The company was organized, and the 
 road was a success. A score of woolen mills in and near this state are standing monuments 
 of his co-operative enterprise and successful labor. His judgment in all business matters was 
 highly esteemed, and his counsel sought on every hand by his mercantile acquaintances. His 
 heart was as tender as a child's, and so long as he had the means, no worthy object of charity 
 appealed to him in vain. His sympathetic impulses never failed to respond to the sighs of the 
 afflicted or to the sufferings of the unfortunate. He was a regular attendant at church and was 
 true to the education of his youth in this respect. His seat was never vacant so long as his 
 health would permit, freely giving to all the calls made upon him for the support of moral and 
 religious influence, he said, ' It was more blessed to give than to receive.' But his goodness and 
 kindness were exhibited in their most lovely aspects within the circle of his family. No hus- 
 band could be more devoted. No father could be more affectionate. No public entertainment, 
 no private festivity presented to him so many attractions as did his owai home. And here, 
 surrounded by his children and grandchildren, in the companionship of good books his leisure 
 hours were passed. Though his face had not been seen for many years in the business centres 
 of our city, there are a great many now living, and acting their part in the last scene of life's 
 drama who will pause when they hear of his death and shed a tear of grateful remembrance 
 over his bier."

 Poetry to the family friends of Mary S. Carpenter: 
 
 " Sorrowing mother ! who thy pfrief can tell? 
 
 Another lalow from Death's relentless hand 
 Has fallen where so recently one fell, 
 
 And thinned again thy cherished household band. 
 
 Stricken sister I who shall now thy sister be "i 
 
 Though earthly friends may gather by thy side, 
 Earth oners none so near or dear to thee 
 
 As that fond one who lately drooped and died. 
 
 Mourning brothers ! call ye this stroke severe? 
 
 To heaven's all-wise decrees submissive bend ; 
 Though short her date, no truth appears more clear— 
 
 ' That life is long which answers life's great end.' 
 
 friends, as down life's troubled stream ye glide, 
 
 With faith's pure vision, upward lift your eyes ; 
 This tribute is enough for mortal pride— 
 
 Vour youthful friend has passed into the skies."

 Willard Oscar Carpenter at the age of 14 was sent to Williams colle;^e. Plis term at college was- 
 brief. In his 15th year he shipped on a sailing vessel making a two years' cruise — which included 
 South America, the West Indies and Africa. He had an eager mind. The voyage was a good 
 school. When he returned to tliis country his uncle Willard Carpenter, a wealthy citizen of 
 Evansville, Ind., bought a farm for him near Evansville. But farming was not the rover's taste. 
 After two years of farm life he left and went to New Orleans. Then he learned telegraphy. 
 After two years in New Orleans be left for Washington, D. C. in 1855. There he was employed 
 in the Morse telegraph office as an e.xpert operator. In that year he was married. His desire 
 was to make Washington his home but by the influence of his wife and friends he returned to 
 Troy, N. Y., as his permanent home. iMr. Carpenter's first employment on his return was an 
 operator in the Western Union telegraph office. He subsequently became its manager. About 
 the time the war broke out he opened a photograph gallery. 
 
 The first newspaper work which he did was for the Troy .Sunday A'ews whose publication was 
 commenced, Aug. 21, 1864. This employment was not permanent. On March 24, 1867, Colo- 
 nel McArthur revived the Northern Budget, as a Sunday paper and Willard O. Carpenter was 
 a member of the staff. He continued his connection with the Bicdget uninterruptedly until his 
 death. Before his last sickness he had missed being at the office but two Sundays. He left a 
 property of considerable proportions to his son Willard Oscar and it is estimated that the latter

 One of the finest and most picturesque homes in the county of Simcoe is that of Edward R. Car- 
 penter at CoUingwood. It stands on a two-acre plot of ground, at the corner of Oak and Third 
 streets. It is of the Queen Anne style of architecture and was erected in 1881 at a cost of about 
 gi5,ooo, site included. 
 
 At the age of 15, Edward R. Carpenter removed from Woodstock, Conn, to Cleveland, Ohio. 
 After residing here for one year he went to Canada and sojourned there for a short time at Lon- 
 don, Ont. In 1859 he settled permanently at CoUingwood, a clerk in the mercantile house of 
 Paul Richmond &: Co. In 1863 Mr. Carpenter engaged in the drug business, founding what has 
 since become one of the largest and most prosperous enterprises of its kind in northern Ontario. 
 Thirteen years ago he took possession of the store he now occupies. It is especially adapted 
 to the purpose to which it has since been devoted. It is elaborately fitted and substantially 
 furnished. In addition to an extensive drug business he does a large trade in leather and find- 
 ings and makes a specialty of American and Canadian coal oil of which he handles immense 
 quantities ; he is local agent for the American Express company, for the Bell Telephone com- 
 pany, for the White Star hne of ocean steamers. Mr. Carpenter is a typical New Englander, 
 energetic, industrious and wide-awake.

 Young Dillingham Carpenter was a student in the Columbia law school in 1887 ; he inherits the 
 stalwart repubhcan pohtics of his distinguished father. 
 
 .A. good story is told of Paul Carpenter, the energetic young president of the Young Men's Repub- 
 lican club of the last campaign, says the .Milwaukee Wisconsin. He is, as everybody knows, a 
 son of the late Senator Matt H. Carpenter, and the incident happened when he was a very 
 young boy and while his father was representing the state in the senate. At a gathering one 
 evening, somebody said : " Well, Paul, what are vou going to be when you grow up ? " " Oh, I 
 don't know," replied the young patriot, ■' I'd like to be a hack-driver, but I suppose I'll have to 
 be a senator, like papa."

 addition to winning the medal annually given by the Cobden club of England, also won a one 
 year honor and second dispute. These are honors upon the possession of which Mr. Carpenter 
 may well be congratulated. The Cobden club is the famous free trade club of England. It 
 gives this medal each year for the best essay on a stated subject. Mr. Carpenter's essay was 
 on the currency question. It was a strong argument against the free silver heresy. The Balti- 
 more plan was fully discussed and, in fact, the whole range of the currency question was con- 
 sidered, together with the influence of protective tariffs upon a nation's welfare.

 7225. I. Wesley Manning; m. Carrie Shores ; he d: Jan. 7, 1888, aged 50. A physi- 
 
 cian connected with a college of physicians and surgeons in New York city. 
 
 When he was quite a young man he represented his district in the New York State Legislature. 
 
 Dr. Wesley M. Carpenter was one of the best known medical writers and physicians of the city of 
 New York; he was found dead in his bed; he graduated from the College of Physicians and 
 Surgeons and after settling in New York, acquired a large practice. About 15 years ago he gave 
 that up on account of his health and devoted his entire time to medical journalism ; he was the 
 editor of the Medical Epitome and one of the compilers of the American Encyclopedia of Sur- 
 gery. At the time of his death he was a professor of the University of the City of New York 
 and Secretary of the County Medical Society and a Fellow of the New York Academy of Med- 
 icine ; he was editor of Wood's ff ousehold Practice of Medicine, ff ygiene and Surgery, a work 
 of 749 pages and also of an index of practice of medicine. 
 
 Dr. Carpenter was a native of ErieviUe, Madison Co., N. Y. and was about 49 years of age. He 
 was an earnest Christian, always observing family prayers and regularly attended preaching at 
 St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal Church, with Mrs. Carpenter, and prayer meetings whenever 
 his engagements and health would permit; but he was devotedly attached to the httle Metho- 
 dist Episcopal Church at ErieviUe. He kept his membership there. He sent the church ^50 
 every year and provided that it should continue to receive this sum after his death. An eminent 
 physician of New York remarked after his death that Dr. Carpenter was so related to the med- 
 ical profession by the men he knew, the offices he held and the work he did that no medical man 
 in New York could have died and been more missed. We are informed by Dr. M. Chesney 
 who conducted his funeral that Dr. Carpenter offered to treat freely, worthy needy cases and 
 always wished to be reminded when the poor fund of the church was low.

 Mrs. Laura Stanley was born in Thompson, Conn. She was early converted and joined the 
 church. Several years of her youth were spent in teaching. She married the Rev. E. S. Stan- 
 ley, of the New England Southern Conference, and died at South Manchester, Conn. Her hus- 
 band joined the conference in 1853 and for eighteen years she was an earnest and faithful helper 
 in his work. In 1874, her health failed and she was never afterwards able to engage in active 
 Christian labor. In reviewing the life of this excellent Christian woman we find nothing to cen- 
 sure but much to commend. Her worth in her home was beyond all price ; she trained her 
 children in the fear of the Lord and had the happiness of seeing them all useful and earnest 
 laborers in the church. Her piety was humble, consistent and growing. She turned from her 
 own grief to minister to the wants and mitigate the sorrows of others. The April before her 
 death her golden wedding was celebrated. 
 
 Mrs. A. Willard Case is a member of the Daughters of the Revolution and has been appointed 
 regent for Manchester, Conn. As a school girl she excelled in writing poetry, as appears from 
 her pen on many important occasions, of anniversaries and in literary papers.

 He came to Willington, Conn, in 1840, where he lived 20 years and then resided in Providence, 
 R. I., five years, serving as an officer in the Providence Reform school; thence to Mansfield, 
 Conn., where he was superintendent in the Soldiers Orphan's Home for seven years, and went 
 from there to Willington, where he now resides, and acted as station-agent, postmaster and 
 judge of probate.

 Judge Carpenter was brought up on his father's farm and divided his time between agricultural 
 labor and study. When 17 years old he was sufficiently well advanced in his studies to engage 
 in school teaching, his first charge being in the town of Willington in the northern part of the 
 state. He continued to teach at intervals during a period of seven years. He prepared himself 
 for college at the Ellington institute. Several circumstances combined to prevent him carrying 
 out his intentions regarding a college education and in 18^4 he began to study law. He had a 
 thorough legal training in the office of Jonathan A. Welch of Brooklyn, Conn., and in Decem- 
 ber, 1846, was admitted to the bar. He soon engaged in active practice in his native place. He 
 remained there until March, 185 1, when he removed to Danielsonville, succeeding to the practice 
 of the Hon. Thomas Backus. 
 
 " Three important changes in the Judiciary of Connecticut went into effect on Sunday, Jan. 14, 
 18 — . Justice Elisha Carpenter of the Supreme Court of Errors Vvill retire on account of age 
 limitation. It will be gratifying to the citizens of Connecticut to know that although retired 
 from the bench while in the full vigor of his intellect the state will yet be able to have the benefit 
 of Justice Carpenter's ripe experience and judicial acumen in another capacity, that of a state 
 referee, to which he was appointed by the General Assembly at its last session. Judge Elisha 
 Carpenter has had a continuous service of nearly 33 years on the bench of his native state. He 
 was born in that portion of the town of Ashford now known as Eastford. He received a com- 
 mon school and academic education. Prior to his appointment to the Superior Court Bench he 
 had been a Judge of Probate and also State's Attorney for Windham county. He had also 
 served two terms in the State Senate. The first term was in 1S57. In 185S he was returned to 
 the State Senate from the old Fourteenth District. Judge Carpenter was president pro tern, 
 during that session. In 1861 he represented the town of Killingly, in the (ieneral Assembly 
 
 N<J. 7293; Family 1357.

 and served as chairman of the committee on military affairs and was appointed Judge of the 
 Superior Court, July 4, i86r, and was promoted to the Supreme Bench in 1865. Shortly after his 
 first appointment to the bench, he moved to Wethersfield and afterwards to the City of Hart- 
 ford where he has since resided. He has written the opinion of the Supreme Court in some of 
 the most important cases presented to the court for decision and has always been considered an 
 authority in will cases, his opinion in such actions having always been considered of the highest 
 value. 
 
 He was re-elected for three successive terms of eight years each and at the expiration of his con- 
 stitutional age limithe lacked but one month of twenty-eight years of continuous service. He 
 held the office for a longer time than any other judge since the adoption of the constitution and 
 for twenty-three years, previous to 18S9, he was the youngest man on the bench. He was an 
 efficient member of the state board of education from its organization in 1865 to 1883. For 
 some years he served on the state board of pardons. He was a republican in pohtics. Judge 
 Carpenter was a man of absolute personal integrity and his rulings and decisions were regarded 
 as just and able. About fifteen years ago Judge Carpenter suffered a shock which left him with 
 a permanent lameness. On January 17, 1895, he fell near the corner of Garden and Asylum 
 streets and broke his left hip, an accident which confined him to bed for several months. During 
 his illness he fell in his room and retarded his recovery. Since getting out he had been wheeled 
 about the city in an invalid chair by his faithful attendant, L. B. Denison. Judge Carpenter 
 was gradually gaining physical strength in the injured leg and just before his last attack was 
 able to walk upstairs to his office in the Hills block. Soon after retiring from the supreme bench 
 in January, 1894, Judge Carpenter formed a law partnership with Frank B. Williams in this 
 city, believing that he was still able to continue the practice of his cherished profession. His 
 advice has been freely sought by those who knew of his admirable judicial qualities and appre- 
 ciated the sound judgment of his trained legal mind. The General Assembly of 1895 elected 
 him one of the state referees with a salary of jS2,ooo per year. 
 
 As soon as Judge Carpenter came to Hartford to live, about twenty-five years ago, he joined the 
 Asylum Hill Congregational church and was for several years a deacon in the church. He con- 
 ducted a Bible class of men in the Sunday-school until about a year ago. Ex-Judge Dwight 
 Loomis and he both taught in the same Bible class at the same time. 
 
 An extract from a letter written by Judge Carpenter to David Carpenter of Foxboro, Mass., dated 
 Hartford, Jan. 20, 1894 : "As a preliminary statement I would say that Amos B. Carpenter has 
 all the information (you desire); some of it 1 furnished him from land records of this state 
 about 40 years ago. Through his assistance I was able to trace my ancestry back to the original 
 William, who with his sons William and Joseph came to this country from the parish of Hor- 
 well, Eng. (Signed) Eli.sha Carpenter.

 Fredus Cliapman graduated at the HoUi.slon academy and followed the occupation of a teacher 
 for several year.s in the public schools in his native state and in New York city. He went to 
 California in 1849 and returned in 1S52. He removed to Minnesota in 1S55 and soon after 
 became the principal of a school in Minneapolis. He also taught in some capacity at Farming- 
 ton, and removed to California in 1887 and died at his home near Nevada City, where he was 
 interred in accordance with his request. 
 
 7303. IIL Jarius Harvelin was b. Feb. 14, 1822; m. Afartha C.Kendall, Feb. 13, 1852, 
 
 daughter of Amos Kendall and Mary Brown, b. April 27, 1823, in Palmer, 
 Hampden county, Mass. 
 
 He obtained his education in the public school of the district where born, and by attending an 
 academy for three terms at Holliston, Mass. and a select school for about six weeks in his 
 native town. His preparatory law studies were commenced in the office of Fred Hovey, Esq., 
 at Eastford in 1S44, and completed in the office of Hon. Loren P.Waldo at Tolland, Conn, 
 where he was admitted to the bar in March, 1847. Thus far he made his way by school teach- 
 ing, work on a farm and in a shoe shop. 
 
 In the early fall of the last named year he located for the practice of his profession at Willimantic, 
 Conn., where he remained till the spring of 1S57 when he removed west and located in June of 
 the same year at Madison, Wis., where he has ever since and still resides. Mr. Carpenter early 
 in life interested himself in public matters especially in the public schools. He was for several 
 years a member of the schoolboard in Willimantic, Conn. Since residing in Madison, Wis., he 
 has served on the city school board for 28 consecutive years and was president of the board for 
 23 consecutive years. At the end of his last term he declined further service. In 1874 Yale col- 
 lege gave him the honorary degree of A. M. In 1S76 the Wisconsin university gave him the 
 honorary degree of LL. D. In 1877 he was appointed by the Supreme court of Wisconsin to 
 revise the probate laws of the state. His revision has remained the probate code of the state 
 since that time with slight amendments, several of which were made upon his suggestion. In 
 1878 the Supreme court of the state appointed him one of two commissioners to supervise the 
 printing and indexing the revised statutes of the state just then completed and approved by the 
 Legislature. In 1868 he was made a law professor and dean of the law faculty of the Univer- 
 sity of Wisconsin and organized the law department. In iS6g he was removed from the dean- 
 ship but retained as a professor. In 1876 he was again made dean of the faculty and continued 
 to serve as such till 1884 when he declined further service as such. In September, 1894, he 
 entered upon his 27th consecutive year as a lecturer to the law students, in the Wisconsin univer- 
 sity. In 1885 he was appointed judge of the Dane county court by Hon. J. M. Rusk then gov- 
 ernor of the state to fill a vacancy. In 1886 he was again appointed by Governor Rusk to the 
 same office to serve a full term of four years. In 1889 he was elected to the same place without 
 opposition. In 1893 he was again elected without opposition to the same place, which term 
 expired in January, 1S98. He once ran for the district attorneyship of Dane county and was 
 defeated. Once he ran for the mayoralty of Madison and was beaten. Several times he has 
 been a member of the common council and president thereof. In September, 1S94, he was in 
 vigorous health, attending to official duties and lecturing to law students.

 He fitted at Suffield, Conn., for the junior class in IJrown university, supporting himself in the 
 meanwhile by teaching and by manual labor. He taught one year in Madison, Wis. While 
 temporarily residing in St. Charles. Minn., he enlisted in the ist regiment Minnesota volunteers. 
 May 23, 1S61, and fought in 20 battles, among which were Bull Run, Fredericksburg, Antietam 
 and Gettysburg. He was wounded in each of the two battles last named. In this regiment he 
 became corporal and then sergeant. After carrying a musket two and a half years he was trans- 
 ferred to the 2d U. .S. colored infantry. He had previously organized and drilled a company of 
 colored troops in Washington, and he was appointed ist lieutenant of Company K of the 2d 
 colored infantry and marched down Liroadway. N. Y. at the head of his company to embark for 
 the south. His regiment was ordered to Key West. In the spring of 1864 he was ordered 
 north on account of failing health. In August of the same year he was so far recovered as to 
 be able to join his regiment, though friends urged a longer stay, as the yellow fever was making 
 havoc with his troops. He died of yellow fever at Key West, and sleeps in a nameless grave. 
 
 " A purer patriot or a nobler young man never belonged to any army. He has given to his 
 country all he had to give, and cheerfully. After three years of service he might have returned 
 with honor, but he had no disposition to consult his ease in times like these and only seemed 
 anxious to be at the post of duty."

 summer months and by teaching during the winter. He became much interested in botany, 
 the study of which has been a great pleasure in later years. The summer of 1884 was spent in 
 the study of medicine with Dr. H. H. Howe, of Weston, Vt. The following spring he was

 leaving only to engage in business for himself at Middletown Springs, Vt., where he now 
 resides. He has held the office of school director and Justice of the Peace, etc., and his name

 ton, Vt., Aug. 23, 1889, daughter of Alfred Dow and was b. Sept. 4, 
 
 1863. Residence, Maiden, Mass. An attorney and counsellor-at-law. 
 
 He graduated from the Bellows Falls, Vt., high school and finished his education at Phillips 
 Exeter academy and Boston university. He readlaw with the Hon. C. B. Eddy at Bellows 
 Falls, Vt. and was admitted to the Vermont bar, in company with James Morrill, son of Senator 
 Morrill, of Vermont, and ex-Speaker Mann, in 1883, when just passed his 21st year. He was 
 induced to go to Boston for a greater opportunity for study. After taking a three days exami- 
 nation with some 300 otiiers before the Boston .School of Supervisors, he passed liis examina- 
 tion and taught in the Blossom Street school one year and the evening high school for three 
 years. He had at the same time attended a special course at the Boston University Law school. 
 He was admitted to the Suffolk County bar in the Supreme Judicial court, in January, 1884, and 
 has been in constant practice ever since. He associated himself with William Warren Towle, 
 Esq., No. 10 Tremont St., Boston, where they have been since 1884. Mr. Carpenter has lived 
 in .Afalden since October, 1883 and he was elected chairman of the board of assessors in 1886. 
 He had held the chairmanship of the board since he was a member of it, upwards of seven 
 years and had two more years to serve when he sent in his resignation, to accept the more 
 important office of city solicitor. Last year a change had to be made to retain him on the board 
 on account of the increase in his law business, in which he has been very successful. He was 
 one of the organizers of the Massachusetts Assessors' association and held the office of chair- 
 man of its executive committee. During the period of his assessorship, he appeared a number 
 of times before the Legislature in relation to changes in the laws for assessment of taxes. He 
 is the youngest man who ever held the office of solicitor and was elected by the concurrent vote 
 of the council. His legal ability and general fitness for the position is well known and the 
 citizens may feel assured that the city's interests will be guarded with fidelity and care.

 After residing for some time at his birthplace. Judge Carpenter removed to New Bedford, Mass. 
 where he attended the public schools of that city, afterwards finishing his common education at 
 the grammar schools of Providence. For some years after graduation from the higher branches, 
 he engaged in various work, and later entered Brown university, where, after hard study, he was 
 graduated with honors in 1864. While attending this university he was elected a member of the 
 Phi Beta Kappa fraternity. He was employed as a reporter for the Providence Evening Press, 
 the Providence Daily Journal, and in the courts; he studied law and was admitted to the bar 
 in 1867, and practised at Providence for 15 years; on July i, 1880, he was appointed by the Gov- 
 ernor one of the commissioners to revise the laws of Rhode Island ; in April, 1882, he was 
 elected by the general assembly a justice of the supreme court of the state ; he resigned that 
 office Jan. i, 1885 and on Jan. 2, 1885 became United States district judge for the district of 
 Rhode Island, which office he now, July, 1896, holds. On March 6, 1891, he was elected by the 
 city council to collect and print the early records of the town of Providence. The following 
 are extracts taken from the Providence, R. I. Daily Jotcrnal : 
 
 " He held office in the following organizations : First Vice-President of the Rhode Island Histor- 
 ical society, President of the A. E. Club, Commander ad vitam of the Worshipful society of K. 
 D., Vice-President of the Providence Art Institute, President of the Providence Bar club and 
 President of the Providence Homeopathic Dispensary. 
 
 In Masonry Judge Carpenter had received the highest honors, having been a 33d degree Mason 
 for 14 years. He was raised to the degree of iVtaster Mason in St. John's Lodge, No. i, of this 
 city June 18, 1873, and exalted to the degree of Holy Royal Arch in Providence Chapter April 
 2, 1874. He received the degrees in Providence Council of Royal and Select Masters in June

 and December, 1874, and was created a Knight of the Temple in St. John's Commandery, No. i, 
 May 18, 1874. In October and November of that year he received the Scottish Rite degrees 
 and Sept. 19, 1882, was crowned an Inspector General at Boston. On Sept. 15, 1886, he was 
 made an active member of the Supreme Council of 33d degree Masons for the Northern 
 Jurisdiction. 
 
 In many of these bodies he has held high office and last year was elected Eminent Commander of 
 St. John's Commandery. In this position he received the various commanderies from different 
 parts of the country which stopped in this city on their way to and returning from the triennial 
 conclave of Knights Templar in Boston in August of last year. 
 
 Some months ago, Judge Carpenter with his most intimate associates. Judge Eugene F. Warner 
 and attorney Walter B. Vincent, planned to take a vacation trip through Europe during the 
 summer. They left here July 9, and all indications pointed to a most pleasant experience. 
 Information of the sad ending of the journey was received with general sorrow throughout the 
 city Friday, for Judge Carpenter was widely known and highly regarded for his genial person- 
 ality and kindly ways. 
 
 Judge Carpenter was a prominent churchman, being a member of St. John's church. He was 
 also one of the founders of the Churchman's club of this city." 
 
 A copy of a letter, by Judge P. E. Tillinghast of Providence, R. I., addressed to the chairman of 
 a meeting of a full bench of U. S. circuit court of appeals on the life and character of the 
 late Judge Carpenter; 
 
 " Pko\idence, Oct. 22, 1896. 
 
 Hox. Charles E. Gok.m.ax, Ch.\irm.-\x, etc.: 
 
 Dear Sir: — As I shall be unable to attend the bar meeting to be held in honor of the 
 memory of the late Hon. George M. Carpenter, Judge of the United States district court, for 
 the district of Rhode Island, I desire to express through you my high appreciation of the 
 character and ability of the deceased. While at the bar I looked upon him as a remarkably 
 well read, progressive and thoroughly equipped lawyer, and after his elevation to the bench of 
 the state supreme court, I considered him peculiarly well qualified for the discharge of the high 
 trust committed to him. 
 
 Judge Carpenter was eminently a self-poised man. He thought out the problems of law, as well 
 as the problems of life, for himself, using other men's thoughts, not as a guide, but simply as. 
 an aid in his own processes, so that when he reached a conclusion it was essentially his own, 
 and having thus reached it, he was exceedingly confident as to its correctness. In fact, I think 
 he seldom had any misgivings with regard to the correctness of his conclusions. He had a very 
 logical mind, clear and sharp-cut, a mind thoroughly trained and disciplined to accurate and 
 even mathematically exact methods of thinking, and he felt sure it could be safely trusted and 
 relied on to do good work. 
 
 He was a very methodical man. Indeed, I have never known one more thoroughly so than he. 
 While at the bar, he adopted and carried out a system of work in his office which enabled him 
 at a moment's notice to put his hand upon any paper pertaining to any case he ever had under 
 his control. He was thus enabled to work with the least possible friction, and to instantly com- 
 mand the aid of everything in his office relating to the matter immediately before him. His 
 system was so complete in all its details, that to a stranger to the method, it seemed intricate 
 and cumbersome ; but to him it was as simple as the alphabet, and instead of being an annoy- 
 ance, was a pleasure. 
 
 He was a man of much and varied learning. For he was not only a profound lawyer, but a man 
 of large literary attainments as well. Possessed of an analytical mind, he readily took in and 
 comprehended the pith of whatever he read, and made it his own. He read much, and he read 
 well. He was always abreast of the best thought of the times, and in fact was himself a leader 
 in that thought. 
 
 He had a ready pen and a pure taste, which coupled with great facility of expression and a vigor- 
 ous, manly style, made him a writer of no mean proportions. He would doubtless have taken 
 high rank as an editor or author, had he chosen the profession of letters insteadof that of the 
 law. He had almost a passion for good books, and was always at home in discussing their 
 merits.

722 CARPENTER MEMORIAL. 
 
 Judge Carpenter was a most genial and companionable man with his associates, when on the 
 bench of the supreme court of this state. Never an unkind word or look from him marred 
 the harmony or disturbed the judicial dignity of that body. Moreover, his knowledge of the 
 law and of the great underlying principles on which it was based, coupled with a rare capacity 
 for applying those principles to the particular case in hand, made him a most useful andefScient 
 judge. The only criticism I would make of him, and I fear it would be almost presumptuous 
 on my part even to suggest any criticism whatsoever, is that he was sometimes too hasty in his 
 rulings at nisi prius, and perhaps not always sufficiently considerate of the feelings and rights 
 of counsel. But his mind worked quickly, and his first impressions, though sometimes at fault, 
 were usually correct. 
 
 He was a ready and interesting speaker, knowing how " to think on his feet," and having a good 
 command of wholesome and vigorous English. His style was deliberate and unimpassioned, 
 his language was accurate and carefully chosen, and he always caused his hearers to feel that 
 he had something to say, and knew how to say it. 
 
 I look upon this sudden and seemingly untimely taking off as a great loss, not only to the members 
 of the profession of the law, which profession he greatly adorned and dignified, but also to the 
 bench, and to the state at large as well. Indeed, for some time past I had looked upon him as 
 a rising judge, and had hoped that the time might come when he would occupy a higher position 
 even, on the bench, than that to which he had been called, fully believing that he was competent 
 for, and would do honor to, any judicial position in the gift of the government. 
 
 But, though his sun went down at noon, and though he was cut off in the strength of his vigorous 
 manhood, and in the midst of his usefulness, who shall say that he did not fully accomplish what 
 should be the great aim and purpose of every life, namely, that of adding something to the sum 
 total of human happiness, and of making the world better by having lived therein? 
 
 \'ery truly yours, 
 
 P. E. TiLLTNGHAST."

 m. 2d, George P. Lord, of Elgin, 111., Aug. 22, 1889, and resided there in 1894. 
 
 Julius Angelo Carpenter was born at Uxbridge, Mass., Aug. 19th, 1827. When he was 10 years 
 of age his parents removed to the then far West and were among the first to settle in the Fox 
 River Valley, in Kane Co., 111., where now is Carpentersville. He was reared on his father's 
 farm and lived with his father till he was 22 years old, when he made his first venture in his 
 own behalf. He opened a store in tlie hamlet of Carpentersville, and here he gave evidence of 
 those sterling traits of character, strong judgment and keen penetration in the affairs of life 
 which soon won the admiration and confidence of all with whom he came in contact. His 
 uncles, Joseph of Providence, R. I. and Daniel of Carpentersville, had built a large mill to util- 
 ize the water power in the place. This venture was so unfortunate that it was feared that the 
 whole investment would be lost. The young man was given a quarter interest by his uncles for 
 taking the management of it, and his success was so complete that he eventually became the 
 sole owner. From the day he opened his little store his business affairs grew and expanded. 
 He founded institutions and started them on the highway to prosperity. He platted and laid 
 out the village of Carpentersville, about 1852, having become almost the sole owner of the five 
 water privileges of the place ; about that time also at his own expense he constructed a bridge 
 across the river. In 1866 he erected at Carpentersville the Valley Woolen Mill, of which he was 
 one of the principal stockholders. In 1868 he became interested in the Illinois Iron and Bolt 
 Company, which under his management became increased in value from ;^35,ooo in 1868 to more 
 than ^200,000 in 1880, besides paying dividends from 10 to 25 per cent. He brought into exis- 
 tence the Star Manufacturing Company for the manufacture of agricultural implements. He 
 built a two-story double store building and made the flour mill one of the finest in the state. In 
 1878 he induced the Chicago and Northwestern R. R. Co. to change its tracks from Dundee so 
 as to pass through Carpentersville. At the time of his death he owned 1,000 acres of land near 
 Carpentersville besides large tracts in Champaign Co., 111. and in Kansas and Nebraska. Mr. 
 Carpenter removed to Elgin, III, in 1875, and became a member of the banking house of Bos- 
 worth, Carpenter & Co. He was also president of the Savings department known as the City 
 Banking Company. In 1877 he was made treasurer of the Illinois Northern Hospital for the 
 insane, a pubhc institution located at Elgin. While a resident of Dundee Township he served 
 the people as postmaster at Carpentersville and several times served as supervisor of Dundee 
 Township. At the November election in 1870 he was elected to represent his district in the 
 Illinois House of Representatives, and he was again chosen in 1872 to the same office, and 
 served as chairman on several important committees.

 Julius Angelo Carpenter and Wary Edwards had three children, namely : One girl living to the 
 age of six years, one girl to the age of three years and a boy who died in infancy. 
 
 Eminent as he was in business and society circles, he was by far at his best in his home in the 
 bosom of his family; here he was the perfect man, the tenderest husband and a genial com- 
 panion. His religious convictions were strong. In belief he was a Congregationalist and 
 always took an active interest in church and Sunday-school work.

 He worked in the cotton mills of his native town and received a common school education until 
 he was able to attend the Webster high school, at the same time learning; the trade of carriage 
 trimming and harness making. He acted as clerk in a mercantile store about one year. He 
 continued in the carriage trimming business until he was 21 years of age. At 21 he went to the 
 state of New Jersey where he taught school several years successfully. In 1863 he was made 
 state Inspector of Public Schools in New Jersey, which position he resigned to become princi- 
 pal of Corporate school No. i, in the city of New York, in April, 1864. In December, he was 
 married to his principal assistant teacher and he immediately removed to Washington, D. C, to 
 accept a position as an accountant in the U. S. Treasury Department. Having for several 
 years written for the public press, he became connected with the Washington Chronicle. While 
 in Washington, he took a law course at Columbia College and was afterwards admitted to the 
 bar. In 1867 he assisted in pubhshing the first repubUcan newspaper south of Mason and 
 Dixon's line, the Charleston Republican, in Charleston, S. C. In 1868, in addition to his other

 duties he was private secretary to the Hon. Wm. A. Buckingham, then U. S. Senator and for- 
 merly the famous war governor of Connecticut. In 1872 he was elected alderman of the city 
 for a term of two years and was made chairman of the finance committee. He was instrumen- 
 tal in having built the Columbia Opera House, which was projected, built, and dedicated during 
 his incumbency as alderman. In 1873 he was appointed by the governor as one of the regents 
 of the State Normal School and became its first president. He was also appointed by the gov- 
 ernor as state commissioner to the World's E.xposition at Vienna, Austria, in 1873, and attended 
 that great fair, being absent several months. He was elected a member of the Forty-Third 
 Congress as a republican from what was known as the old Calhoun district, which was formerly 
 represented by Preston S. Brooks, the man who so brutally assaulted the Hon. Charles Sumner. 
 At the expiration of his congressional term in 1875, he was appointed by President Grant as 
 collector of internal revenue for the third district of South Carolina. His district was twice 
 consolidated with others, he being retained as collector. He was instrumental in exposing and 
 bringing to punishment the infamous " Ku Klux Klan" or " Knights of the Invisible Empire," 
 and his fearless denunciation in his paper of the terrible outrages perpetrated upon the poor 
 defenceless colored people by this band of outlaws, led to the suspension by President Grant, of 
 the writ of habeas corpus in nine counties in South Carolina, the subsequent arrest of hundreds 
 of prominent citizens, their conviction and punishment by imprisonment from three months to 
 six years and the final breaking up of this terrible clan. In 1876 he was nominated for Congress 
 by the republicans upon the same ticket with Hon. Daniel H. Chamberlain and though polling 
 500 more votes than his predecessor of two years before he was counted out by the most shame- 
 ful fraud and conspiracy. He resigned his office as collector of internal revenue in 1877 and 
 removed to Colorado, where he engaged in journalism and mining in Leadville, Col. In 1880 
 he was appointed by President Hayes and confirmed by the U. S. "Senate as supervisor of cen- 
 sus for Colorado to take the loth U. S. census. He was appointed in the postal service of the 
 United States and served in the post-office inspector's division until 1883, when he resigned to 
 engage in his profession.

 branches of agriculture from early boyhood, has given special attention to the breeding and 
 improvement of live stock, has always been earnest and active in advancing the educational 
 interests of that section of the state. His political identity is with the Republican party ; has 
 frequently been a member of the state central committee ; was elected to the general assembly 
 to the lower house in 1863 and 1864 and to the senate in 1869 and 1870. During the eight years 
 serving in the Ohio legislature, he was on the finance committee and other important commit- 
 tees, at different times, and was prominent in aid of much valuable legislation. Especial credit 
 is due to his skill and management of the bill securing appropriations for the building of the 
 Ohio hospital for epileptics; located at Gallipolis. It is the first institution of the kind in the 
 United States and is doubtless one of the greatest benefactions of the century. In 1896 he was

 Mathew Carpenter went to Newtown, Tioga Co., N. Y., now Elmira, Chemung Co., N. Y. in 1793 
 and bought a large tract of land in what is now the center of the city of Elmira. A stream, 
 Newtown creek, ran through one large tract of his land of 200 acres, on it was the first fulling 
 mill in these parts and he owned a woolen mill. 
 He was a member of the assembly in 1799, and in 1823. Was a delegate from the county to the 
 constitutional convention of 1821. It was when he was in the legislature that the name of 
 Newtown was changed to Elmira after the name of his favorite daughter Amira usually written 
 Almira or Elmira. He also held the office of clerk for the county for 19 years, receiving his 
 appointment from Governor CUnton. He was very prominent in the legislature. On difficult 
 questions his opinions were considered the best. He built the first sawmill, wool carding and 
 cloth dressing mill in that county. When in the legislature he rode on horseback back and 
 forth with saddle and saddle-bags through the woods, considerable part of the way nothing to 
 guide him except Indian trail and marked trees. He was appointed the state surveyor of the 
 public lands in New York, also appointed general by the governor, of a regiment of militia 
 after the Revolution.

REHOBOTH FAMILY. 783 
 
 Maj. George Oliver Carpenter, one of Boston's best known citizens, is dead after an illness of 
 nearly a month. Major Carpenter was born at No. 63 Charter Street, Boston, 'Dec. 26, 1827. 
 Charter Street is near the old Copp's Hill burying ground, and that part of the city was then 
 the best residential section. He was the son of George and Mary Bentley (Oliver) Carpenter. 
 His parents were also natives of Boston and connected with the first families. Mr. Carpenter 
 was educated in the Boston schools and in the famous old Eliot school, from which he was 
 graduated in 1840. He was one of the six to receive the Franklin medal. He spent a part of 
 the year at the English high school under the mastership of Thomas Sherwin, but his health 
 prevented a continuance of his studies. 
 
 His business career began as soon as he left the high school. In June, 1841, he entered the 
 house of John H. Barbour & Bro., commission merchants, and pioneers in the Texas trade then 
 on Lewis wharf. Mr. Carpenter had also for years been actively connected with insurance 
 and banking interests. He was president of the Boston Fire Underwriters' Union from 1876 
 to 1877; was a director of the Eliot National bank of Boston for more than 25 years, and for 
 40 years or more was a director of the National bank of South Reading, now Wakefield, where 
 he once resided. He had always been associated with numerous local organizations, and had 
 been greatly interested in Boston's institutions, commerce, literary and social life. 
 
 At the age of 15 he was librarian of the Boston Mercantile Library association, which position he 
 held for two years. He was connected with the Charitable Mechanic association since 1870. 
 He was one of the incorporators of the South End Industrial school and a member of its finance 
 committee. He had been a member of the Boston board of Aldermen, and was one of the 
 trustees of the Boston pubhc hbrary in 1870 and 1871. He was an early member of the Old 
 School Boys' association and its president in 18S6 and 1S87. He was one of the orators and first 
 presidentof "The Vowels" a club of past presidents of the Ehot School associations, also a 
 director of the Bostonian society; was one of the original members of the Paint and Oil club, 
 its president in 1891-92 ; was an early member of the Commercial club, also a member of the 
 Art, Algonquin and Exchange clubs. 
 
 In early and middle life he was greatly interested in military affairs, and when but 16 years of 
 age he joined the Massachusetts \'olunteer Militia as a private in the old Washington Phalanx. 
 During his residence in Wakefield from 1847-61 Mr. Carpenter organized the Richardson Light 
 Guards. At this time he was Adjutant of the Seventh Regiment Militia, and in 185S he became 
 Brevet Major of the Second Brigade, under Gen. Joseph Andrews. Ten years later, in 1868, 
 he was commander of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery company. He was also commander 
 of the Old Guard of Massachusetts, an organization composed of past and present commis- 
 sioned officers of the State militia. He was thirty-third degree Mason. He was married in 
 South Reading in JS50 to Miss Maria Josephine Emerson. They had two sons, George O., Jr., 
 manager of the St. Louis department of the National Lead company, and Frederick B., a 
 partner in the insurance firm of George O. Carpenter & Son.

 The village of Boardmansville was made up on about 30 acres of the Boardman farm. The first 
 lots were sold in 1879 with the clause prohibiting forever the sale of intoxicating liquors. Mr. 
 and Mrs. Boardman celebrated the 60th anniversary of their marriage, in October, 1894 with a 
 large company of friends. Mr. Boardman has held many important offices in town and county ; 
 a prominent member of the board of education. Mr. Boardman was a strong influential tem- 
 perance worker, a conscientious member of the Presbyterian church for more than 50 years. 
 
 Mrs. Marcia P. Boardman states that the record of the marriage of Polly or Mary Carpenter to 
 Luman Rice that she was given away by her father Capt Daniel Carpenter of the Revolution,- 
 has seen the parchment on which his commission was written, he drew a pension for many 
 years. His residence was Portville, N. Y. The public records at Washington show that Daniel 
 Carpenter served as private of New Hampshire militia, commanded by Colonel Nichols in the 
 Revolutionary war. He enlisted July 9, 1780 and discharged Oct. 21, 1780, time of service, 
 three months and thirteen days; he saw Major Andre executed Oct. 2, 1780; he deeply regretted 
 the act, said he was a noble looking man. There is no doubt but what he served as captain in a 
 mihtia company after the close of the war. 
 
 Luman Rice lost his left hand in landing an ark laden with plaster on the Susquehanna river. 
 He threw a cable round a tree in catching it in his left hand, the end of the cable being untwisted, 
 it caught around his hand and to save himself from being drawn round the tree he braced with 
 his right hand, his left hand was pulled off and cords drawn out up to his elbow, his arm was 
 amputated above the elbow, which prevented working at his trade as a house carpenter. In 
 building his new house, the day that he was 40 years old, he made a door with six panels.

 William B. S. was born in Delaware, Ohio, in 182S. His father was a cripple early in life and his 
 mother died young so he had to educate himself. He taught school for a number of years till 
 he saved money enough to put himself through a medical college. He graduated at the Cleve- 
 land medical college in 1853. In 1856 he emigrated west with his young wife and baby son. 
 They spent the winter of 1S56 and 1S57 in northern Iowa suffering great hardships from the 
 cold. In 1857 he came to Kansas and located in Lime County, taking up claims and practicing 
 medicine through the country. Tliis was just at the time of the " Border Ruffian war" which 
 led up to the war of the Rebellion m 1S61 and Lime County was the scene of some of the 
 most bloody massacres of that bloody time. In 1S61 he enlisted in the army as a private but 
 was soon promoted and in a few months was elevated to major and surgeon of the 5th 
 cavalry. He served three years under General Powell Clayton, present ministerto Mexico, was 
 mustered out in 1863 at Leavenworth where he remained and entered the practise of medicine. 
 He died Dec. 16, 1S93 after becoming one of the leading physicians of that place. He was a 
 member of the Kansas State Medical association and for fourteen years was physician to the 
 Kansas state penitentiary.

Appendix to the English Ancestry. 
 
 The compiler has shown under the head of the English Ancestry what he believes "to be 
 a correct line from John Carpenter of 1303 to William Carpenter of 1638 who was born in 
 1576 and is numbered No. i and is called generation first in the American Ancestry. The 
 compiler now proposes to give some of the evidences by record and letters received that 
 tend to prove that line beyond a question of doubt. 
 
 The late John P. Jaynes of New York was by profession a lawyer, and had a large 
 experience in looking up records and estates in this country and in Europe. Mr. Jaynes spent 
 several months in England and was employed by the compiler to look up the Carpenter family, 
 the record of William Carpenter of Rehoboth, William Carpenter of Providence, Samuel 
 Carpenter of Philadelphia and Alexander Carpenter of Somersetshire and establish a con- 
 nection, if such a connection could be obtained, and verified by the records ; and carry the 
 line as far back as the records would permit, purely for genealogical data. The expense 
 incurred was paid by the compiler of this work without any assistance from any individual, 
 or an association of any kind. ^luch valuable information was obtained by Mr. Jaynes 
 through researches during the several months he was in England, which is of great value to 
 this work, and he should receive the gratitude of all who are interested in these pages. 
 
 Tlie line from John Carpenter of J 3 03 to William Carpenter who died in 1520 there is 
 no question. If it can be shown that the line from William Carpenter who died in 1520 to 
 William of 1638 is established then we shall have a continuous line from 1303 to \\'il- 
 liam of 1638. This granted we can trace the family back to John Carpenter, the head of the 
 ancient line in Herefordshire family in the parish of Dilwyne to whom the Irish Tyrconnels 
 trace their descent. 
 
 The English line from John Carpenter of 1303 through the Tryconnel family to Lord George 
 Carpenter became extinct in 1853 and it is in America that the continuation of the family 
 must be looked for. This line does not include John Carpenter the town clerk of the city of 
 London, as he left no children, but passes through John Carpenter his brother. It was not 
 uncommon to have two children in the family bearing the same name ; they were described as 
 John Carpenter the elder and John Carpenter, Jr., as the younger. Extracts from letters from 
 John P. Jaynes and others :

 Making the line complete from John 1303 to William who died in 1520. 
 
 Carpenter — Tyrconnel Title. 
 
 From Playfair^ s Family Antiquities Published iSio in London. 
 
 The noble family of Carpenter from which the Earl of Tyrconnel is descended is of great 
 antiquity in the county of Hereford and other parts of England. 
 
 In 1303 John Carpenter was a member of parliament for the Borough of Laskard in 
 Cromwall (see No. i English Ancestry) born some years previous to 1300. John Carpenter 
 was town clerk of London and served in parliament held at Cambridge. (See No. 3 English 
 Ancestry.) 
 
 William Carpenter of Homme Esq., His Lordship's immediate ancestor died in the year 
 1520 (see No. 5) leaving James Carpenter his heir (see No. 6) who in 1540, left the estate to 
 his son John Carpenter (see No. 7) who in 1540 left the estate to his son William Carpenter 
 (see No. 8) who enjoyed it ten years and left it to his son James Carpenter (see No. 9-1). 
 
 William Carpenter, No. 8, is No. i, in the American Ancestry, his son William born in 
 1576, is No. 2, he came over in the Bevis in 1638 with his son and returned. The following 
 is a letter dated Aug. 22, 1870. 
 
 " I now send you some extracts concerning the pedigree of the Carpenter families, and I am of the 
 opinion that John and Gregory Carpenter of West Barnes, Surrey County, the ancestors of William of 
 Cobham to whom the " Greyhound " Coat of Anns was granted in 1663, are the descendants of the 
 Tyrconnel stock of Carpenters. Please see the extracts I now send you. There you will find John 
 Carpenter, town clerk of London, 1440. Now if this Coat of Arms rightly belonged to the Carpenters 
 of Rehoboth Massachusetts, there is no doubt in my mind but what your family are the descendants 
 of a branch of this Tyrconnel Carpenter stock. There is no question of doubt as to this William Car- 
 penter of Cobham who died in 1772 being a descendant of this noble family. 
 
 (Signed) John P. Jaynes." 
 
 In another letter he writes : 
 
 " I sent to England the same week that I received your check, for the pedigree of the Somerset 
 Carpenters on record in the Herald's College. The Arms were granted in 1663 and are a branch 
 extracted from the Arms of John Carpenter, Town Clerk of London, and I am inclined to believe that 
 nearly all the Carpenter families are the descendants of John the brother of John Carpenter, the town 
 clerk, who died about 1442. The John Carpenter Coat of Arms you will find on the pedigrees of Sussex 
 and Surrey and on the glass windows of the churches. The Tyrconnel Arms of John Delavalle Car- 
 penter are also extracted from the Arms of John Carpenter, Town Clerk. 
 
 (Signed) John P. Jaynes." 
 In another letter he states : 
 
 " The genealogical statement to which you refer, namely, William Carpenter of Homme in England 
 in 1520, are the Herefordshire Carpenters from whom this branch of the Carpenters are descended, 
 namely: John Carpenter of London, 1440, also the Earl of Tyrconnel Carpenter, also John Delavalle 
 Carpenter, the last Earl who died in 1853 when the tide became extinct. His wife Sarah died in 1S6S. 
 William Carpenter of Cobham, who died in i()72, " Greyhound " Arms, is a descendant of this family. 
 The family dates back to 1303. I think you have a copy and I presume that William Carpenter of 163S 
 who came over in the " Bevis " aged 62, was a descendant of this family. I have no doubt of it. 
 
 (Signed) John P. Jay.xes.'' 
 
 " I think that Samuel Carpenter of Philadelphia was akin, or at least there was a degree of rela- 
 tionship between him and the William Carpenter of Cobham, Surrey, England, and also a degree of 
 relationship or kindred between the above-named Carpenters and the William Carpenter of AVeymouth ;

 and this is the way that the Coat of Arms the " Greyhound " came to be engraved on the tombstone of 
 Daniel Carpenter who died in Rehoboth, Jan. 26, 1763, one hundred years after the Arms were granted 
 to William Carpenter of Cobham. 
 
 (Signed) John P. Jaynes." 
 
 " Some time ago I received a letter from Rev. J. West, Vicar of Wherwell, Hants, England, who 
 personally inspected all the parish registers for me, but the name " Carpenter" does not occur. How- 
 ever, they only date back to the year 1634, all earlier records being destroyed during the Civil War. He 
 says the name was formerly spelled " Whorwell." He also informed me that there is a parish in Berk- 
 shire named Harwell. Harwell is the name of the parish but St. Vaster is the name of the village. 
 This is about 40 miles from Cobham, the Seat of the Surrey Carpenters, whose Arms are the " Grey- 
 hound " identical with those you kindly sent me. I enclose a letter received from England. 
 
 (Signed) H. C. Stuart." 
 
 The following is an extract from a letter from Harwell, England, dated Feb. 14, 1852 : 
 
 " I write to say that the Register has been diligently searched by the Vicar as far back as the year 
 1605, and no such name as Carpenter can be found." 
 
 The foregoing letters show conclusively that there were not any Carpenters who had a 
 permanent residence in Wherwell at any length of time. The only conclusion that can be 
 derived from these letters is being Dissenters and residents of London, the seat of religious 
 persecutions, they fled to this quiet place for safety till they could emigrate to America. 
 
 The following is a copy of a letter received by John P. Jaynes : 
 
 " Amesbury, July 20, 1869. 
 
 Dear Sir : I am in receipt of letter of the 13th inst. I do not recommend you to be at the cost and 
 trouble of coming to Amesbury to search the registers (which you cannot do excepting in my presence.) 
 I may be from home or I may be too much engaged to attend upon you on that day or at that time. It 
 is an unheard of thing to ask a clergyman to search parish registers for the vague purpose of finding a 
 name during the space of one hundred years. 
 
 I shall be reasonably ready to assist you in what you desire to ascertain, but I warn you that you 
 must be able to give me some definite dates and to defray the regular fees, which may be a sorry recom- 
 pense for time and trouble. I told you in my last letter that the place you inquire for, although called 
 " Whorwell " is spelled " Wherwell " and is in Hants. I am, dear sir, faithfully yours, 
 
 F. W. Ford." 
 
 An extract taken from a letter of Rev. H. C. Stuart, M. A., rector at Three Rivers, Prov- 
 ince of Quebec, Canada and is also a member of the Rehoboth family. 
 
 " One of the pamphlets you kindly sent me states that the Coat of Arms was granted to William 
 Carpenter, May 4, 1663, and that the original Arms are now in the possession of the family in Massa- 
 chusetts. These Arms were granted to the Carpenter family of Cobham, a town in Surrey and the 
 same Arms are borne also by the Carpenters of the County of Sussex. I therefore conclude that the 
 Arms sent to the family here were a copy and that they constitute direct proof that our branch is a 
 part of the Surrey and Sussex branch and that William of Wherwell probably came from Cobham or 
 vicinity. Cobham is 40 miles to the east of Wherwell. I will write to Cobham about this and think 
 that we shall thus gain a few hundred years genealogy. The family is an ancient and important one. 
 There is a hamlet named Holwellbut no such place as Whorwell in England. 
 
 (Signed) H. C. Stuart." 
 " Wherwell Vicarage, Axdover, Hants, March 29, iSSi. 
 
 Rev. and Dear Sir : — I have been unable to answer your letter of Feb. i8th untilnow as I have 
 been very busy during this Lent. With respect to the Carpenter family, I can find no trace of the 
 same in the Parochea) Registers, our earliest dates from 1634 only, and the earliest dated monument is 
 iSS^i you say the "Clearance Paper" gives "Harwell" as the name of the parish from which they 
 came. Now there is a Parish of that name in Berkshire, whilst the Parish is called Wherwell now and 
 in old documents Whorwell, and it is in the County of Hants. In all probability some trace of the 
 family exists in the said parish of Harwell and I should advise you to make an application to the incum- 
 bent thereof. Some of the earliest colonists, I know (The Osgoods) went from this place as an Amer- 
 ican of the name of Somerly, whose ancestors also hved here, came and told me about the Parish 
 records some few years ago. This place is a very ancient one, as Queen Elfreda enlarged and endowed

 a priory here and also became prioress and died liere. Unfortunately in the civil wars a number of old 
 documents perished, hence the comparatively early date of our remaining registers. The Delawane 
 family became owners of the priory at the dissolution of the monasteries, tempore Her. VIII. but the 
 present owner's family is quite of recent date. Trusting you may get some information from the parish 
 of Harwell. I am, Rev. and dear Sir, yours very faithfully, 
 
 I. O. M. West. 
 To Rev. Henry C. Stuart." 
 
 The compiler does not claim that opinion is record but he does claim that the opinion of 
 Jaynes will carry more weight and is entitled to a certain degree of confidence in the mind of 
 the reader in connection with the verified records, as to leave no doubt as to the correctness of 
 the line from John Carpenter 1303 to \\'illiam 1638. The compiler has still further evidence. 
 
 Daniel H. Carpenter of Maplewood, N. }. spent the winter of 1896 and 1897 in England, 
 going there expressly for the examination of the English records. He visited all the places of 
 interest where it had been reported that Carpenters had resided. From his thorough exami- 
 nation and collection of records, there is nothing that conflicted with the records sent the 
 compile!: by JNIr. Jaynes but instead corroborates them. He believes that the line given by the 
 compiler is correct. He kindly sent the result of his researches, but only one is selected to 
 be inserted as all were more or less a repetition. In a letter dated at London, January 18, 
 tSgy, he states : 
 
 " In an excellent history of the County of Hereford, which mentions //t'OT?;;:^? as the seat of Wil- 
 Ham Carpenter, No. 5, Avho died there in 1520 (a very aged man). The sixth from him was Thomas who 
 left six sons. This Thomas is in the line of Lord George Carpenter." 
 
 In the British Museum, London, I found a volume of " The Life of Lord George Car- 
 penter." It was published in London in 1736. I copied the following from it : He was born 
 Feb. 10, 1657, at Ocle Pychard, Herefordshire, and died Feb. 10, 1731, aged just 74 years 
 and was buried at Owsebury, a small village near Winchester, Hampshire, where his lordship 
 had lived, greatly beloved, nearly 30 years. In his will he gives ;^ 1000 ($5000) to Capt. 
 Robert Carpenter, who was a reduced captain of dragoons on half pay. Lord George Car- 
 penter's wife was Alice, daughter of Lord Charlemont. They had but one son, Lord George 
 the second, who was born Aug. 26, 1722. The pedigree of Lord George the first as given in 
 this volume is as follows : 
 
 William, of Homme, No. 5, probably born in 1440, died in 1520. 
 James, No. 6, probably born in 1460, died in 1537. 
 John, No. 7, probably born in 1485, died in 1540. 
 William, No. 8, probably born in 1505, died in 1550. 
 James, No. 9, probably born in 1530, died in 1593. 
 James, No. 10, probably born in 1550. died in 1599. 
 Thomas, No. 11, probably born in 1580, died in 1653. 
 Warncomb, No. 12, was the father of Lord George, so must have been born as early as 161 5. 
 
 J. Edward Carpenter of Philadelphia states that he never has been able to make any con- 
 nection with the New England Carpenters, and in referring to the Coat of Arms being the 
 same in both families it is evident that they originated from the same source in England. It 
 is also evident that Samuel was a resident of London when he emigrated, and one of the fam- 
 ily, John, resided in Horsham in Sussex county and died there. Horsham is south of London. 
 
 Samuel, it appears, was an educated man the same as William of Rehoboth and William 
 of Providence and doubtless the three were educated in the Carpenter free school. 
 
 This school was established by the Corporation of London, under the authority of an Act 
 of Parliament procured by them for that purpose in the year 1834, and was erected at their 
 expense on the site of ground formerly occupied by Honey-lane Market, Cheapside, and

 removed thence to the Victoria Embankment in 1883. It is endowed with an annual sum 
 towards its maintenance, derived from certain estates left in 1442 by John Carpenter, town 
 clerk of the city, and is under the government of the corporation and a committee chosen by 
 them. The object is to furnish a liberal and useful education for the sons of respectable per- 
 sons who are engaged in professional, commercial, or trading pursuits, without the necessity of 
 removing them from the care and control of their parents. 
 
 Boys are admissible at any age between seven and fifteen years, and may remain until 
 nineteen. The mode of admission is by an application according to a form obtained of the 
 secretary, which is required to be signed by the parent or guardian, and also by some member 
 of the corporation, either alderman or common councilman. Members are not limited as to 
 the number of recommendations they may sign. The minimum qualification for admission is 
 a knowledge of the first four rules of arithmetic, and ability to read and write. 
 
 The charge for each pupil is ^15 15s. a year, payable ;^5 5s. each term in advance. 
 Printed books and drawing materials are furnished as required, and are charged for at reduced 
 prices, in each term account. 
 
 Eight Carpenter Scholarships (in memory of John Carpenter, the founder of the School), 
 Candidates must be between eleven and sixteen years of age, and have been at least three 
 years in the school. The advantages are gratuitous education, and books to a value not 
 exceeding £2 per annum ; ;^2 5 per annum towards maintenance, etc.; and ^50 on leaving the 
 school, provided the scholar continues therein two years after election, and obtains a certifi- 
 cate of merit and good conduct during that period from the head master. If a scholar pro- 
 ceeds to either of the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge, or London, the allowance of £2^ 
 per annum is continued till taking a degree, but not for more than four years. 
 
 The following is an extract from a letter from Horace Thompson Carpenter, of Chicago, 
 a descendant of Samuel Carpenter who settled with Mr. \A'illiam Penn at Philadelphia: 
 
 " While I have always been more or less interested in our family history I have never taken pains 
 to get the continuous records except as they came up in a general way. Before my uncle Edward Car- 
 penter (the father of J. Edward Carpenter) died, I happened to be in England, and at his request looked 
 up some old records to try and trace some particular connection, though just what that particular point 
 was I am unable to say now and regret that I could not have followed the matter up with success. 
 However, I went down to Horseham, Sussex county, a short ride south of London where our family 
 came from and from which place I presume .Samuel Carpenter, our direct ancestor came, when he went 
 to Barbadoes. I wanted to find a certain name (I think it probable this very same Sir William Car- 
 penter) in question and I did find it on an old musty parchment record brought out for me at the parish 
 church, by the parish clerk, along with many other Carpenter names; but the ones I remember were 
 William, John, Edward and Samuel, and the earliest record, I think, was in 1666 or about that time ; but 
 whether birth or death I do not remember. I found the name that I Avas after. This much I remember 
 and then endeavored to get hold of the will of that individual, and fortunately the will itself I found 
 properly recorded in Horseham though filed away in the archives at London ; and it was in this will 
 that my uncle expected to find certain information that would enable him to trace back with certainty; 
 but my time was limited. I thank you for the copy of the Coat of Arms, which is similar to my own, 
 which would seem to indicate it was about that time the family divided. 
 
 While I was in Horseham Parish graveyard I found one gravestone close to the wall of the church, 
 whereon I could trace the name of Carpenter, but time and weather had nearly obliterated all else as 
 the stone bore evidence of great age.

 Heraldry in America. 
 
 " A large proportion of the American colonists, from New England to Georgia, belonged 
 to families of position in England, and they kept their old-world traditions on this side of the 
 water. Tombstones, silverware and bookplates are to be found in large numbers bearing the 
 
REHOBOTH FAMILY. 831 
 
 Arms of their owners whose descendants with perfect propriety and with no disloyalty to 
 the Republic use them to this day. Those Arms are often the means of tracing family con- 
 nection and on this account he who uses a shield without right, not only sins against good 
 taste but helps to the confusion of records. There is no law to prevent any persons using 
 any device he sees fit for his personal or family emblem, any more than there was when the 
 first knights adopted symbols to identify themselves in battle." — Eugene Zieher. 
 
 Another writer says : ''The use of Arms through the earlier periods was to distinguish 
 persons and property and record descent and alliances and no modern invention has yet been 
 found to supersede it. Hundred of persons may be entitled to the same initials, may possess 
 precisely the same name, but only the members of a particular family can lawfully bear certain 
 armorial ensigns, and the various branches of that family have their separate differences to dis- 
 tinguish one from the other. After the lapse of centuries the date of a building or the name 
 of a founder or the ancient possessor may be ascertained at the present day through the 
 accredited preservation of a sculptured Coat of Arms, and careful study of early rolls of 
 Arms enables to discover matrimonial alliances and family connections of which no written 
 record has been found and which are altogether unknown to the biographer or the historian. 
 Arms of adoption is so called when the last of a family by will adopts a stranger to possess 
 his name, estate and Arms and thereby continue the name and Coat of his family in the 
 world after his decease. Henry the Fifth issued an edict forbidding the use of Arms by any 
 one only those who could show a valid right to the same. All persons who can deduce descent 
 from an ancestor whose armorial ensigns have been acknowledged in any one of the visitations 
 are entitled to carry these Arms by right of inheritance when, however, no such descent can 
 be shown. The party must, if it be possible prove himself to be a descendant from some one 
 whose right has been admitted from a grantee and in fault of that proof must become a grantee 
 himself. It appears that if a person or persons can prove satisfactory that he or persons 
 have used such a Coat of Arms, they can retain them. Applicants for a Coat of Arms have 
 to apply to the King for license."' 
 
 " It was found necessary and important to prevent the use of similar bearings by different 
 families in the same country and also made it necessary to distinguish between the bearings 
 of different members of the same family all of whom had a right to the paternal Coat, As 
 this right was strongest in the eldest son, he alone bore the paternal arms unaltered (in French 
 Heraldry,) and the other sons were obliged to introduce some sufficient change called in 
 heraldry a difference. The family of Grey, always numerous, differenced their cadets in at 
 least fourteen different ways, almost all preserving in the same tangible form the paternal 
 Coat. Generally no rule is followed save that on the whole some reference is retained either 
 by the changes upon or the colors of the paternal Coat. Very frequently, even in the earliest 
 times, the eldest son differenced his father's Coat by a label. Gradually however, it came to 
 be used almost entirely for that purpose, and finally a set of marks, called ' of cadency ' 
 were devised for each of the sons, the label being the mark of the eldest during his father's 
 life. At present, however, notwithstanding the democratic tendencies of the age armorial 
 bearings are in greater demand than ever in England and more or less coveted in the United 
 States, and a good deal of the proper business of Heraldry is still transacted within the 
 College of Arms and a good deal more irregularly and improperly outside of it, A consider- 
 able number of persons still bear Arms derived from an ancestor who bore them before the 
 institution of the college ; others bear them under grants and patents from that body and 
 others still more numerous who or whose fathers have risen from obscurity. Arms also pass 
 from one friend to another by deed or will, even when there was no blood relationship. Henry 
 de Lacy, the last Earl of Lincoln, bequeathed to his friend and executor, Sir H. Scrope, and

 he wore it accordingly througli life only, Maud Lacy, heiress of her brother, died childless, 
 but bequeathed her lands to the Percys on condition that they bear her Arms, which they 
 continued to do, and indeed, though without any right, often styled themselves Barons." — 
 Encyclopaedia Brittaiiica, page 186. 
 
 An English will of James Carpenter, dated April 27, 1718, mentions wife, two daughters 
 and an only son John. It is very evident that James was in the line of John Carpenter, Town 
 Clerk of London, as is shown by the amount of real estate and its location, also in naming his 
 only son John. 
 
 The connection with the Rehoboth family is not known. It is a very long and interesting 
 will, but on account of the extended size of the memorial it is turned over to Daniel H. Car- 
 penter and will appear in full in his genealogy of the Providence, R. I. family. 
 
 In all of the English families, as far as known, John is a very prominent name, and is 
 found in nearly every family and very frequently as the name of the first born son. 
 
 In America it appears the same in the families of the early settlers. The two Williams, 
 father and son, named their first born son John, not following the universal custom of naming 
 the first born after the father. It shows that there was at some time a noted man by that 
 name in their line of ancestry. 
 
 The register at Southampton indicates that William Carpenter and his family came from 
 A^'herwell to Southampton and emigrated in the ship Bevis 1638. There is no evidence that 
 he, or any one by the name of Carpenter ever lived in Wherwell or Harwell any length of 
 time. William 9 — 3 in the English Ancestry born in 1576, residence was London ; by trade 
 a carpenter. He was 50 years of age in 1626, when he rented certain tenements and gardens 
 in Hounsditch, to him devised for 41 years from Michaelmas 1626, with covenant tonew build 
 within five years, which tenements and gardens were heretofore conveyed to the cities use as 
 aforesaid. William, Xo. 16, his son born 1605 was at the rental of the tenements 21 years of 
 age, being a resident of London and in his minority had a fair opportunity to attend the Car- 
 penter free school. It is very clear that he had received a liberal education, as appears by 
 his will and the positions he held in the colony. It is evident that he was a dissenter and it 
 was unsafe to remain in London and for this reason he removed to a more quiet place, and 
 that place was Wherwell till he could emigrate safely to a place where he could exercise the 
 freedom of speech and religious worship, even secrecy was necessary in emigrating from the 
 part of Southampton as the record of their emigration was not made till the ship was out at 
 sea. It is also indicated by the attendance of his father on leaving Wherwell till they reached 
 America, as nothing short of personal danger to him and his family would likely induce the 
 father to take the two perilous voyages. It is evident a child died on the voyage over as we 
 find by the record at Southampton that four children were entered of ten years and less and 
 only three appeared on this side. His wife Abigail was mother of four children born after 
 emigration, two in Weymouth and two in Rehoboth, only seven children appear by the records 
 of Rehoboth as their children.

 " In accordance with your request I hereby submit a very brief memoir of the family of Ben- 
 jamin Carpenter, (No. 354) who was a prominent citizen of Wyoming, from 1774 up to 1807 ; 
 much of which you will find is from my own memory. The events prior to my recollection I 
 am indebted to the old settlers with whom I was personally acquainted in my boyhood days. 
 The Athertons and Carpenters who-had long been acquainted, emigrated to Wyoming A'alley 
 in 1774 and 1780 and followed by other families up to 1810 when they commenced to scatter 
 from Massachusetts. One branch went to Connecticut, another to the mountain wilds of 
 Vermont, and still another to North Carolina, some of the latter made their way with Daniel 
 Boone into ICentucky, where their descendants are still found. 
 
 In 1773 and 4 my grandfather Cornelius Atherton came to Wyoming from Litchfield County 
 Conn., and was accompanied by Benjamin, (No. 354,) and Gilbert Carpenter, (No. 355,) 
 brothers. (It is evident that Benjamin and Gilbert were born in Jamaica, L. I., and Goshen, 
 N. Y.; their father died in Goshen; they might have lived in Litchfield, Conn., in 1773 and 4, 
 where Benjamin was married.) Benjamin married (Wary) Farrier the sister of the wife of David 
 Perkins, Esq., who had already made his pitch at Wyoming. I think he resided a short time 
 after his marriage at Sharon, the western town of Litchfield Co., Conn., and from thence 
 came to Wyoming, as before stated, but did not bring his family until after the battle of 
 Wyoming. 
 
 I had no personal acquaintance with him prior to his removal to Ohio in 1S07. In 1S15 he 
 came back on a visit and remained here several weeks, making his headquarters at his brother- 
 
836 CARPENTER JilElNIORIAL. 
 
 in-law's, David Perkins, Esq. At tliat time I was boarding with Esq. Perkins, and spent 
 many an evening listening to him and his friends as they recounted the events of the first 
 settlement of the pioneers. 
 
 Benjamin Carpenter was one of the representative men of Kingston, N. Y., from its earliest 
 settlement. He held the office of Justice of the Peace, while we were still under the jurisdic- 
 tion of Connecticut, and often presided in the county court of Westmoreland County. After 
 Luzerne County was organized, under the jurisdiction of Pennsylvania, he continued to act as 
 a Justice for several years, giving general satisfaction as a public officer. In 1794 he was 
 elected to represent Luzerne County in the Legislature of Pennsylvania. 
 
 In 1780 or 81 he made his first settlement on Abraham's Creek where it comes through the 
 Kingston mountain and soon after built a grist mill with a single run of stones on the site of 
 the mill owned by the Shoemakers. This locality was for many years known as 'Carpenter 
 Mills ' and ' Carpenter's Town,' which latter name it retained long after the Shoemakers came 
 in possession. I remember the mill very well. 
 
 Mrs. Carpenter was famed for her splendid order in housekeeping and her judicious and 
 her fine orderly training of her children. She was indeed the embodiment of perfect order 
 in every department of housekeeping. 
 
 Her daughter Elizabeth married Lazarus Denison. She was a very correct copy of her 
 mother in all her characteristics. Perhaps no woman in Kingston held a larger share of the 
 love and esteem of her neighbors than Mrs. Lizzie Denison. 
 
 Her brother Charles went with his father to Ohio and as he came to manhood it needed no 
 prophet to predict his success in life. In 1S22 he came back to Wyoming on a visit to his 
 relatives and friends. 
 
 Charles became afterwards a distinguished man, serving in both branches of the Legisla- 
 ture several years. In his personals, he was a fine specimen of muscular power, and his man- 
 ners were those of a perfect gentleman. I believe he never studied any profession, and per- 
 haps lacked anything like a classical training, yet he was a good writer, especially in episto- 
 lary line. In 1S44 his letters were all burned with my office at Wilkesbarre. 
 
 Benjamin Carpenter in his physical development was a fine specimen of robust human- 
 ity, about five feet eight or nine inches high, compactly built, with broad shoulders and exhib- 
 iting great muscular powers. A stranger would at first sight set him down as a regular John 
 Bull though his speech was purely of the most approved Yankee type. In his manners he 
 was courteous, though he was somewhat reticent among strangers. As a citizen and neighbor 
 Mr. Carpenter was a model, and enjoyed full confidence of the community in which he hved. 
 
 One of his prominent characteristics was his intense persistence in the accomplishment of 
 his purposes. No adverse circumstances would make him yield an iota when he knew he was 
 pursuing a worthy object. 
 
 In concluding this long letter, allow me to remark that in my details of events happening 
 so long ago, I may have made some mistakes as to dates, but none I think very material. 
 
 Very truly yours,

 465 Ebenezer d. April 12, 1830. 
 
 466 Amos, M. D., studied medicine with Dr. Lee of Windham County, Conn. A promi- 
 
 nent physician of his day. After receiving his degree, Dr. Carpenter practiced 
 medicine a short time in Tyringham and for twenty years in Berkshire County, 
 Mass., where he was widely known and esteemed for his medical skill and benevo- 
 lent Christian character. His second wife, Anna Macy, was a woman of rare 
 accomplishments and many Christian graces. Shortly after his second marriage 
 he removed with his family to Ghent, N. Y.; about this time, he was moved to join 
 the society of Friends and became an honored member of that religious order, 
 adding to his wide usefulness as a physician, the freely giving the ininistry of a 
 preacher among Friends. His wife was one of unusual benevolence, being widely 
 known in both medical and religious relations as a friend of the poor and needy. 
 466-a Hannah was b. Sept. i, 1757, given by the family. 
 
 503 Elisha was Ensign in a company raised by Thomas Powell, Esq., for a general inva- 
 sion of Canada in which Philip Walker was Captain. He settled with his family 
 in the town of Savoy, Mass., on a portion of the land known as the " Bullock 
 Grant," which it is believed descended to him either from his father, Daniel Car- 
 penter, or his grandfather. He erected the first sawmill in Savoy. It is believed 
 that he was a party to the Norwich, Vt. land grant, if so was probably one of the 
 grantees of whom it is said many did not become actual settlers.

 524 Elihue. In the funeral sermon of the Rev. Jacob Ide of Medway, Mass., in referring 
 to his own conversion I find the following paragraph : 
 
 "A great change came over my mind — a delight in the services of God. To prepare 
 myself to be useful in the world, became now an object of my most ardent desire. I was 
 greatly encouraged in my purpose by the district school master, Dea. Elihu Carpenter to whom 
 I confess myself under greater obligations than to any other man. The good layman held 
 religious meetings, giving scripture expositions and exhortations. I so admired him as to 
 make him my model of future usefulness. But Dea. Carpenter tired me with higher ambition 
 and molded me to nobler issues. He urged upon me a preparation for the ministry. His 
 words to me were fuel to the fire already kindling in my heart."

 Amos B. Carpenter, Esq., Dear Sir : — Yours of the 4th inst. was duly received and a few 
 days after I sent you a copy of the Times of this city which contained a copy I had made of 
 those things I thought would do you the most good in the way of calling attention to the mat- 
 ter. I looked the matter up about which you have made inquiry some thirty years ago but 
 have none of the data gathered at that time at hand now. I have written to Montague where 
 I was born, and hope to get something from my mother that will be of benefit to you. The 
 only obstacle in the way is her extreme age, she being now past 84. 
 As to her, she was the daughter of Cynthia, who was the daughter of Cynthia, (No. 2008) 
 
REHOBOTH FAMILY. 841 
 
 whose father died at Montague. He was a soldier in the revokitionary war ; and his children 
 were Cynthia, Abel, (Troy), Nathaniel, Joseph C, and Eliza. 
 
 David (Leyden) was the father of D. N. Carpenter of Greenfield and died about a quarter 
 of a century ago. He was the father of C. C. Carpenter in command of the United States 
 Navy at this time in Chinese waters. 
 
 You may not be aware that I have been away from my ' base of supplies ' for more than 
 thirty years. Because of this fact I cannot recall individuals, names or dates with the same 
 exactness as when still upon my native heath. I have therefore written to my mother who 
 has had two strokes of paralysis since April, and it is possible that I may be able to get 
 something of service to you from some observation she might make. I trust this is so, 
 because it cannot be long before she goes to join those who have gone before. 
 
 Although my name is not Carpenter, I have always been proud of the strain and name of 
 the family. For they liave always been found in honorable places. So far as my personal 
 observation has gone, there has never been a black sheep in the flock and it is my opinion 
 from the jealous care with which they have preserved the name, that it is worth all the add^^^ 
 tional honor you can give and bring to them. The members of this family did not wear 
 ' ready made ' clothes ; they struck out into an unknown country ; they felled the trees ; they 
 reclaimed the soil; they raised the sheep and sheared them ; and their good wives and daugh- 
 ters carded, wove and spun the cloth that made the garments for a race of men, who were 
 giants as strong and sturdy as those that stood in the forests around and about them. They 
 earned their living ' unawed by force and unbribed by gain.' They have in all the stormy times 
 that have past and gone been loyal and representative men. If diamonds have ever shone 
 in their fronts, they were obtained by the honest labor of their own right hands. No investi- 
 gating committee has ever called one of them to a sudden halt in a mad career of bribery, 
 vice or crime, so far as I have ever known or heard. 
 
 Yours, Mr. Carpenter, has been a long and thankless task. You have doubtless derived 
 some pleasure and incurred more expense than most men would, but the satisfaction must 
 always be great, as you watch the work grow and take form under the magic wand of your 
 inspiration. However the end may be, as to your getting all the data you want, to make it 
 full, perfect and complete, you will have the consolation of knowing that it will tell the unborn 
 thousands, of just the kind of timber such men were made. And your work will be an incen- 
 tive toward calling from the descendants of the present generation of Carpenters, a unity of 
 praise as will cause them to rise up and call their forefathers blessed. 
 
 I regret sincerely that I cannot give you more of the information that you desire but as 
 stated in the opening of this letter I may be able to gather from my mother such fragments 
 as will enable me to recall things that have long since passed from my memory. You must 
 remember that I was born in 1836 and truer words were never spoken than that I am not as 
 young as I used to be. Forty years ago your request would have been answered with alacrity 
 for then the pride of family and the chances to investigate were much greater than now, for 
 in these days I am looking down instead of toward the slope. 
 
 I shall go to Montague some time next month and shall take pleasure in making such 
 inquiries as might lead to something that will be of service to you. I sent a slip of the Times 
 article to the Gazette and Cou7-ier of Greenfield, Mass. and if it is pubhshed in that section 
 of the country I have no doubt but that it will be productive of good results. With a disposi- 
 tion to assist you in every possible way, I am yours very truly, 
 
 E. R. Saxten. 
 Memorandum. — Until I hear from my mother I cannot send yovi the name of my great grandfather 
 and great great grandfather. My grandmother was born in Leyden, Frankhn County, 
 Mass., and I think the year was 1767. 
 She had the following named brothers : 
 
 David settled in Leyden.

 Abel settled in Troy, N. Y. 
 And I think there were three more, will write after I return from Montague.

 of 1812 and raised a company of soldiers and drilled them till he was ordered to the front, 
 along the Canada line and went as far as Dansville, Livingston Co., N. Y., where he received 
 directions to stop for further orders. Soon after he was ordered to return as peace was about 
 to be declared and the company was discharged. He served as Justice of the Peace for many 
 years. A man of strong mind and influence. Even at that early day he favored temperance, 
 and was one of the first to abandon the custom of carrying spirits into the harvest field.

 "William L. Carpenter was an intimate friend of Mr. Greeley," said Dr. Rogers, "and 
 had worked with him in a newspaper office in Fredonia. The two friends were tramping in 
 the center of New York State, looking for work. While feeling somewhat discouraged, they 
 were one day standing on a bridge, quite uncertain as to what steps to take next. Mr. Car- 
 penter took a cent from his pocket and, tossing it up with his thumb and finger, said : ' Heads, 
 I go east; tails, I go west.' The cent fell tails up and Mr. Carpenter started west, landing in 
 Dunkirk, where he spent the remainder of his life in newspaper work, and was prosperous to 
 the extent of establishing a pleasant home. Greeley's cent fell upon the bridge, ' head up,' 
 and he went east to Albany, where he at once started upon his upward career." 
 2420 Davis. Dr. Davis was b. Dec. 25. 1799 in Walpole, N. H.; m. Azubah Brockway of 
 Brockport, N. Y., Oct. 5, 1825 ; he d. 1878 in Brockport. No family. The 
 following sketch is given by Mrs. Julia F. Hylond. of Keene, N. H.: 
 " Dr. Davis Carpenter was one of the 21 children of Davis Carpenter who settled in Walpole 
 N. H. He received a liberal education which in those days ' meant push ' and work for a poor 
 boy of a family of 27 children. Grandfather Davis m. for his 2d wife a widow and six chil- 
 dren and provided for them the same as his own. Dr. Davis Carpenter started for what was 
 then the far west. He went as far as Rochester, N. Y. and made a stop about 1S23 to start in 
 his medical profession. I have heard him tell the story, for he took pride in repeating it in 
 regard to his success, as well he might, for he was very successful in his profession as well as a 
 politician. He was elected to Congress from his district by the old Whig party. Soon after 
 reaching Rochester he concluded to go to Brockport, 17 miles, and commence his practice 
 there, being short of money, he borrowed a pair of skates and skated up the Genesee river ; 
 he carried cheer and comfort into the sick-room, soon obtained a very large practice in or 
 about Brockport, even went as far as Rochester and practised over 50 years in Brockport and 
 died at the age of 78 in the harness."

 " Chicago for the past week has been the resting place of one of the most traveled and 
 remarkable women of the age, Mrs. Emma Shaw Colcleugh. Besides being a traveler, Mrs. 
 Colcleugh is a lecturer, an author, a poet, and a newspaper woman from Providence, R. I. 
 When Mrs. Colcleugh halted in Chicago last April on her way to the far islands of the South 
 Pacific she lectured before a number of prominent women's clubs with marked success on her 
 previous travels in Alaska, the Sandwich Islands, British America and Labrador. 
 
 Mrs. Colcleugh is a tall, slim, energetic, fine looking woman, with flashing, all-seeing eyes 
 and a look of health and endurance. She speaks of her trip, which has been continuous from 
 the middle of last April until the day after Christmas, and covering 30,000 miles, as lightly as 
 though it were a turn in the Florida tropics. 
 
 Jlr.s. Colcleugh was warmly welcomed in San Francisco, where she lectured before the 
 Woman's Club and was the recipient of many social attentions. She also delivered her lec- 
 ture on Hawaii at the Leland Stanford University at Palo Alto. Her first long step from 
 San Francisco was to Hawaii, a seven days' sail. She continued her travels, visiting many of 
 the Pacific Islands, lecturing to women's clubs and other public lectures whenever an oppor- 
 tunity permitted or desired by the people; she continued her travels to the South Sea Islands 
 and returned by the way of San Francisco and Chicago for a six months rest before she takes 
 her next trip. She has been well received as a lecturer in her travels."

 General Orders, j 
 No. 27. S 
 
 It is with extreiue sorrow that the Post Commander announces to the garrison the death, 
 at this Post, of Captain William Lewis Carpenter, 9th Infantry, who passed this life in the 
 early morning of this date. 
 
 Captain Carpenter suffered heroically while the seeds of that fatal malady, Bright's disease, 
 were accomplishing his end. 
 
 An active participation in Indian Campaigns, where the troops suffered greatly from inclem- 
 ent weather and perilous journeys, had weakened an otherwise hardy physique, so that he 
 was unable to resist an attack of La Grippe, which occurred at Whipple Barracks, Arizona, 
 in 1891. This condition left him at the mercy of that mortal disease, which lias called him 
 from an earthly home, and cruelly denied him the long wished for opportunity of again serv- 
 ing with his regiment in the field. 
 
 Captain Carpenter possessed great fortitude and nobility of character with the highest 
 
REHOBOTH FAMILY. 849 
 
 regard for his profession. His penchant and aptitude for scientific work was recognized by 
 details for duty with various scientific expeditions. Courageous alike in suffering and in 
 health he was a fine example of self-control and devotion to duty.

The Reported English Estate. 
 
 The Carpenter family has for many years been greatly interested in a reported estate left in England 
 to Carpenter heirs in America. This report is widespread, reaching from Maine to California, in which 
 the compiler never took any very great interest further than the aid such report rendered him in his work. 
 This work was commenced several years previous to any advertisement appearing in the New England 
 papers. He attended only two of their meetings ; one at Worcester, Mass., April 28, 1S47 and later at 
 Rutland, Vt., the latter to obtain records of the family on the west side of the Green Mountains. He 
 received, gratuitously, a membership certificate from each association. From the knowledge of records 
 in New England, even if there was an estate, he believes the difficulty would be in proving heirship by 
 tracing back seven or eight generations in America and making a legal connection in England, therefore 
 he never advised the paying of money to any association for that purpose. 
 
 He now proposes to give what little he knows of the three associations that have been organized 
 and have called for contributions from the Carpenter family to carry out their plans to procure the 
 reported English estate. The Worcester convention was called without his knowledge; on receiving 
 the notice had only time to reach Worcester the morning of the call. Found a large gathering of 
 Carpenters and relatives who organized at ten A. M. A full report was printed in the Massachusetts 
 Cataract, a paper printed at Worcester by Jesse W. Goodrich, a relative of the Carpenters. A full report 
 is given below:

 ter Family,'' which appeared in some of the papers in Worcester, and in other places, a meeting was 
 held at the American Temperance House in Worcester, Mass. at 10 o'clock A. m. organized by the elec-

 Upon a call for information, relative to property in England, supposed to belong by inheritance to 
 some of the Carpenters in this country, remarks were made by several gentlemen. Allusions were made 
 to the newspaper notice that was advertised for, some two years ago, in the Massachtisetts Cataract, 
 — to the notice that appeared in the London Times in 1840, for heirs to the estate of a Dr. Carpenter of 
 Maryland or Virginia, — to the impression that has for many years very generally prevailed among the 
 Carpenters of America, that some of them were heirs to a large estate in England, and some other for- 
 eign countries, — and to certain dividends in the Bank of England, unclaimed by the several Carpenters 
 (or their heirs,) in whose names they have stood since 1805, about which Mr. Taft of Worcester had 
 caused some examination to be made in England, and which seems to have proved the principal basis of 
 the call for the present meeting. After a full and free discussion of the subject, (interrupted by the 
 recess of one hour, for the discussion of a good dinner^ in which a goodly number participated, it was 
 
 Resolved. — That we will now form an association for the purpose of making further investigations, 
 so as to show whether or not there is property in England to which all or any of the Carpenter blood in 
 America are legally entitled. 
 
 The following constitution, reported by a committee, was then accepted, and all the officers men- 
 tioned in it, upon the nomination of another committee, were duly elected, viz :

 Much interest was manifested in the genealogy of the Carpenters. Mr. Amos B. Carpenter of 
 Lower Waterford, Vt., who has made extensive research during the last two or three years, is preparing 
 for publication a Genealogical History of the Carpenter family, gave to the Convention much informa- 
 tion of great value, and during the meeting remarks were offered, which were, in substance, that, prop- 
 erty or no property, it was a source of unmingled pleasure for so many persons from different parts of 
 the country, previously entire strangers to each other, although bearing either a common name, or hav- 
 ing a dash of Carpenter blood in their veins, to come together and spend an April day as a band of 
 Brother-Cousins. At the close of the meeting it was 
 
 Voted, That the Secretary cause an official report of the proceedings to be inserted in The Massa- 
 chusetts Cataract, a paper published at Worcester. 
 
 Jasper Hunt, Moderator. 
 Augustine D. Carpenter, Secretary. 
 
 THE CARPENTER FAMILY. 
 
 Although the Carpenters of America cannot probably outnumber the Smiths of the New World, 
 still they are evidently very numerous, and perhaps more than equal to the monthly bands of those whom 
 King Solomon sent to Lebanon to co-operate with the carpenters of King Hiram in making the " chips 
 fly " from " timber of cedar and the timber of fir," for the Temple of Jerusalem. That article, therefore, 
 in this number of our paper, relating to the " Carpenter Family " is presented as one having a public, 
 and general, as well as a private, and special character, and of course, in some, but different degrees, 
 interesting to all. 
 
 Those who wish to investigate the existence of, and their title to, Carpenterial inheritances in 
 England, can do so by becoming members of the " Carpenter Association," whose Treasurer, we are 
 told, has duly given bonds for the safe custody of its funds. Mr. Amos B. Carpenter, of Lower Water- 
 ford, Vt., one of the Directors, and Corresponding Secretaries of the " Association " is collecting, and 
 preparing materials for a Genealogical Register of all of the Carpenter blood, and would be glad to 
 receive from each, and all of them, information relating to the births, marriages, deaths, ages, and resi- 
 dences, &c., &c., of their respective ancestors, and descendants, gleaned from family, town, church and 
 court records, or from tradition. 
 
 We have been at some gratuitous expense, both of time and money, in looking after this "Eldorado," 
 thus far, and shall, through the columns of this paper, continue to communicate briefly such information

 as may, from time to time, be obtained, in relation to a matter that interests so large a portion of the 
 community. The heirs expectant of this " English Estate," into whose hands this number may happen 
 to fall, will see by the " Terms of the Contract " what a trifling sum will ensure their reception of the 
 paper weekly for a year. " A word to the wise is sufBcient." 
 
 Boston, Oct. 8, 1847. 
 
 My Dear Sir, — You are doubtless more or less familiar witli reports that have been in circulation, 
 for some years past, concerning property in England supposed to belong to some family in this country 
 by the name of Carpenter. And that, in consequence of these reports, and after some inquiries had 
 been made in England by individuals feeling an interest in the matter, a meeting of persons by this 
 name or related to the family by marriage, was held in Worcester, Mass., on the 28th of April, 1S47, at 
 which an Association was formed, the objects of which are stated in the Constitution accompanying this. 
 
 The advantages of an Association in this instance are obvious. The reports in relation to property 
 are vague and uncertain ; so much so that no one individual has sufficient encouragement of ultimate 
 success to warrant incurring the whole expense attendant upon making the necessary investigations for 
 ascertaining the facts in the case ; — whereas a large number of persons feeling a common interest to 
 learn those facts, may unite in sharing the expense, which to each would be trifling, even should they 
 never receive anything in return. And it is certainly worth something to have the question decided, 
 even if that decision should be, that there is no property to be obtained. 
 
 No information of importance has yet been obtained from England by the Association, and cannot 
 be, until sufficient funds are placed at the disposal of the Directors, to warrant them in adopting such 
 measures as are necessary in order to get information on the subject. Many persons, to my knowledge, 
 are holding back, and waiting to have it made certain that there is property to be secured, and then 
 would come forward and join the Association without delay. So long as this state of things generally 
 continues, the matter must rest where it now is ; for without some outlay of money, no inquiries can be 
 made which will either make it certain, or otherwise. And if certainty existed to begin with, there would 
 probably be much less occasion for an Association, as there might then be found individuals who would 
 willingly incur the expenses necessary for securing the property. 
 
 At the late meeting held in this city, it was thought advisable that I should issue a Circular, stating, 
 briefly, how the matter now stands, and requesting not only those who may receive the Circular to join 
 the Association, but also use their influence, as far as possible, to induce others to do the same, and this 
 without delay. If anything is ever to be done, it seems important to act now. If there is property to be 
 secured, delay may place it beyond our reach ; and if there is none, the sooner we know it the better. 
 
 Allow me, then, my dear sir, respectfully to call your attention to Art. VIII. of the Constitution, given 
 below, and to request that you will not only act in accordance with it yourself, but that you will also do 
 what you can to induce others to join the Association without delay. 
 
 For your satisfaction, I would say in regard to Art. IV. of the Constitution, that I have given bonds 
 to the amount of one thousand dollars, in accordance with that article, and any person forwarding to me 
 three dollars, will receive by return of mail a certificate of membership. 
 Very respectfully yours, 
 
 Augustine D. Carpenter, Treasurer of the Carpenter Association. 
 
 It appeared later that the funds of the meeting at Worcester went to pay members and relatives of 
 the family for previous expenses incurred in making the inquiries in England in regard to the Carpenter 
 estate. They failed to procure any tangible information of the existence of any such estate. 
 
 The funds in the treasury became exhausted and no further efforts were made. This circular failed 
 to procure the funds. 
 
 The books and papers of the Treasurer were turned over to a member of the Association and he 
 removed to California ; this ended the doings of the first association. 
 
 "SECOND CARPENTER ASSOCIATION. 
 
 To all persons interested in the Recovery of the Carpenter Estates in Great Britain: 
 There will be Five adjourned Meetings of the CARPENTER ASSOCIATION and CARPEN- 
 TER FAMILY as follows, viz: 
 
 At the Bardwell House, at Rutland, Vt., on Tuesday, April nth, 1871, at 10 o'clock a. m. At the 
 American House, at Fitchburg, Mass., on Wednesday, April 12th, 1871, at 10 o'clock a. m. At the 
 Boston Hotel, corner of Harrison Avenue and Beach Street, Boston, Mass., on Thursday, April 13th,

REHOBOTH FAMILY. 857 
 
 At our last meeting, at Pawtucket.R. I., February 24th, Benoni Carpenter, M. D., was appointed 
 President pro tern, and Mr. Carpenter, Secretary pro tern. There were about sixty persons present. 
 After listening to the reading of the Report made by the Agents, and to the great amount of informa- 
 tion collected thus far, it was unanimously voted that all honorable means should be used to carry on 
 the investigation to a speedy and, we hope, to a successful termination. A large number of those pres- 
 ent joined the Association and bought Scrip. Whole amount raised at the meeting, one hundred and 
 seventy dollars. It was also voted that a series of meetings be holden in different parts of the country 
 to collect funds and information necessary for the forwarding of this great enterprise. The meeting 
 then adjourned with the understanding that one of the next meetings should be at Providence, R. I. 
 
 It is hoped that every member of the Carpenter Family will now see the importance of united 
 action. The Report of the agents fully establishes the fact that there is property in Great Britain that 
 rightfully belongs to Carpenters in this country. We would, therefore, earnestly urge every member of 
 the family to attend one of these meetings, that they may hear the reports of the agents read. See the gen- 
 uine Coat of Arms of the Carpenter family. See the Pedigrees that have already been collected; and 
 we would also impress upon each one the great importance of bringing with them copies of the Pedi- 
 gree of their branch of the family. In getting copies of Pedigrees get names, dates of births, marriages 
 and deaths, and place of residence. The importance of these things will be fully explained at the meet- 
 ings. The reports already published will be furnished to all who become members of the Association. 
 It is expected that many distinguished members of the Association will be present and address the 
 meetings. Remember, it is only by untiring perseverance and earnest labor that any great or good 
 work can be accomplished.

 " TO THE MEIMBERS OF THE CARPENTER FAMILY IN AMERICA. 
 
 A meeting of the Carpenter family was holden at Glen Cove, Long Island, N. Y., on the 2d day of 
 June, 1870, in order to collect information relative to the Carpenter property in Great Britain, and to 
 devise means to have a thorough investigation made of their claim to millions of property in Great Bri- 
 tain, said to belong to the Carpenter family in America. 
 
 It was thought to be high time that there should be joint action in this matter, and that the ques- 
 tion should be settled as to whom this property really belongs, and steps should be taken by which per- 
 sons justly entitled to this immense estate, should soon recover it. 
 
 Columbus Smith, of Salisbury, Vt., who has been successfully employed in the prosecution of simi- 
 lar claims in England for twenty-five years, has consented, with his associate, A. B. Herrick, an Attor- 
 ney, of London, in England, to take hold of the case and try and put this long agitated question at rest. 
 
 At this meeting the within Constitution was adopted and signed by those present. Several copies 
 of this Constitution have been sent to Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, Penn- 
 sylvania, and have there been signed by members of the Carpenter family, but as very few of the family 
 could be reached in this way, and it is desirable that all members of the family should become members 
 of this Association, and have a knowledge of what is being done, it has been thought best to have it 
 printed, so it can be more generally circulated. 
 
 Now any member of the Carpenter family who will sign one of these printed Constitutions (after 
 having put on it one five cent Government Revenue Stamp,) and forward the same, (with $5.00 for each 
 signer) to H. O. Smith, Monkton, Vt., becomes a member of this Association. 
 
 Any individual who wants one of the Carpenter Scrip, will have one sent him, entithng him to gioo out 
 of the first money received from the estate by any member or members of the Association on the 
 receipt of $$ by H, O. Smith or J. P. Jaynes, New York city. 
 
 As soon as proper evidence can be collected here relative to the pedigrees of the different branches 
 of the Carpenter family in America, (which, it is expected, will be within a few months) Mr. Herrick 
 will go to work on this case. 
 
 It is hoped that all members of the family will now see the matter in its true light; if so, the Consti- 
 tution will soon be signed and returned to Mr. Smith, with a pedigree of their branch of the Carpenter 
 family, so far as they are able to give it. 
 
 All members of the Association may expect a printed report, giving a statement of the property 
 claimed and pedigrees of the different branches of the Carpenter family, so far as the information has 
 been collected, within a few months."

 This second association of Carpenters held meetings in northern part of Vermont and probably all of 
 New England and other States, holding out to all who joined the association that they would receive a 
 report from time to time of progress made and also the final result. The compiler was given a ticket 
 signed by H. O. Smith but no report was received as a dividend, or any information of the estate in 
 England, thus ended this asssociation.

 GREAT ESTATES IN ENGLAND. 
 
 Ancestral Fortunes Awaiting Proper Claimants in America. 
 The frequent calls for heirs in America to estates in England, serves to keep alive our genealogical 
 trees, if no great fortunes ripen upon their branches ; but great fortunes do ripen and are now ripening 
 for many families who can trace their lineage to stock which has decayed in the mother country. In 
 one year missing friends or next of kin to the number of 700 cases, or over 3,000 persons, were called for 
 by advertisement in the London Times, most of whom were known to be in America. The treasury 
 solicitor in 1881 advertised to the next of kin to 126 deceased persons, his official advertisement signify- 
 ing that the estates of these persons had been so long unsettled that the annual increase of the same or 
 dividends upon the' legal investments of said increase were by law paid into the public treasury as 
 "unclaimed dividends." Among those thus called for were the heirs of a person who emigrated to 
 America in 1683, and the fortune involved was more than two millions. It is stated in the Lloyd^s 
 Weekly, London that the annual undivided dividends upon the public stocks held in trust by the Bank 
 of England amounts to ^3,506,939,3 which amount (over $17,000,000) lapses to the crown, for the reason 
 that the original holders of the stocks or their legal representatives cannot be found. We often hear of 
 such instances of the recovery of great estates in England as those of the Delaney, Marr, Northage, 
 Leake, Gouldsborough, Shard, and other families whose success is of recent date. The estate to which 
 attention is now called is known as the " Carpenter estate," which has been in the custody of the Eng- 
 lish government for more than loo years, and has accumulated to enormous proportions. 
 
 It is not strange that the attention of the Carpenters in America should be awakened to intense 
 interest, or that the general public should be eager to second this family's interest, when it is understood 
 that this estate is now estimated at 3200,000,000. The following is an outline of its prominent features, 
 which cannot but be interesting : It appears that the William Carpenter whose estate is the present 
 bone of contention, died in London in the year 1700, at a sufficiently ripe age of ninety-seven years, 
 leaving an estate of ,^40,000,000, or in United States currency, $200,000,000. William seemed to have 
 lived mainly for the purpose of accumulating wealth, remaining a bachelor all his life that he might the 
 better devote his whole attention to money getting. Several efforts have been made to recover this 
 immense fortune, and in 1845 an English branch of the Carpenter family made claim to this estate, 
 which was contested before the lord chancellor at London in 1846, occupying the court some five or six 
 months. This claim was made in the name of Ashman Hope and Henry Carpenter, of Manchester, 
 England. 
 
 They did not, however claim to be heirs in the regular line of descendants, but petitioned the lord 
 chancellor to award the estate to them, inasmuch as the estate had been held in trust by the crown for over 
 one hundred years, and the heirs to whom it rightfully belonged had never claimed it ; or in other words, 
 the lord chancellor was asked to treat the rightful heirs to the above estate as having become extinct. But 
 thechancellor, however, decided against them. The following particulars were ascertained during the 
 above inquest. On the 19th day of August, 1707, there was turned over to the custody of the crown 
 .^2,796,81 1 1 1 s which was invested in British securities 3 per cent, and, in addition to the above, it is said 
 there still remains assets sufficient, when added to the above, to make a total of over ^3,000,000. At the 
 termination of the above inquest a delegation of American gentlemen was empowered to contest the claim 
 for American claimants then residing in the vicinity of Boston. They petitioned the lord chancellor to be 
 granted a hearing and to be allowed the use of testimony produced by the above Manchester Carpenters, 
 so far as it might be applicable to the case, which petition was granted them. The inquest was then 
 continued in the interest of the Boston Carpenters, which will be remembered by many of our citizens 
 still living, and failed to their inability to establish their line of descent. 
 
 Their suit was denied, as it was found in the language of the decree " that the claimants were not 
 the lawful and lineal descendants of William Carpenter." 
 
 According to the statement of David Carpenter, one of the delegates who represented the Boston 
 Carpenters, the evidence went to establish that the rightful heirs to the above William Carpenter's 
 estate, are the descendants of Ephriam, Josias, Timothy and their sister, Phoebe Carpenter, who came 
 to America in the year of 1678. This family history has been traced by James Usher, of New York 
 City, a well known authority in antiquarian studies, with a sufficient authority it is supposed, to justify 
 the institution of legal proceedings which will shortly be commenced. And in addition to the 
 
86o CARPENTER ^lEMORIAL. 
 
 above is an estate left by Nathaniel Carpenter, who died in 177S, late of the county of Kings and Queens, 
 Virginia, which estate is now in the English court of chancery, and consists of consols standing to the 
 credit of the above estate in the bank of England, the dividends on which have been unclaimed for 
 nearly one hundred years. The estate in 1778 was estimated at ;f3i.cco, and has been drawing interest 
 at 3 per cent, up to date. 
 
 Another estate of one hundred and sixty-one thousand pounds sterling was left by William Carpen- 
 ter, of Providence, Rhode Island. The date of this will is 16S4 " The remainder torn off and lost.

 Dear Sir : — I called to-day to see my uncle, Willard Carpenter, Esq., and after a long conversation 
 with him he concluded to give me some valuable information to send to you, condensed from various 
 letters from W. C. Barker, Esq., of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., who is also a great worker and interested in 
 this great Carpenter estate of England. I think it would be well for you to correspond with him as he 
 is in position to give you much information. His record of lineage differs much from yours, of which I 
 give you a sketch below : —

 ITE.AIS BY willard CARPENTER T.\KEN FROM W. C. BARKER'S LETTERS, POUGHKEEPSIE, N. V. 
 
 Wm. Carpenter the testator died about 1700, the Records of the probate court of London showing 
 that the estate of the above Wm. Carpenter was administered upon on the 19th day of August, 1707. 
 The trustees to the probate court turned overproceeds of the above estate to the amount of /2, 796.811 — 
 IIS — 3d — 3f sterling, and that there is still remaining in the custodj' of the court sufficient to make the 
 total sum of ^3,000,000 sterling. The above was turned over by probate court to the custody of the 
 Crown and has since been drawing interest at the rate of 3 per cent per annum. I have a record of the 
 Carpenter family from the above William Carpenter the testator, which came down to my mother whose 
 maiden name was Carpenter. This record consists of forty-four names in this one directline, and I have 
 also seventy-five names, all Carpenters of all the branches, and I have the dates of all the births of the 
 above which is one hundred and nineteen names. With the above records we are in position to at once 
 make our claim to the above estate. Our cla'im to this Carpenter estate rests upon a decision of the 
 Chancellor of London, made in 1846. Daniel Carpenter of New York City, who was in London at the 
 time the claim which the Manchester Carpenters made to this estate was decided, said that the evidence 
 went to establish as the heirs, the Long Island branch that came to America in 1678, on the Barque 
 Reindeer, Abram Colvin, master, from Bristol to New York. Of the name of Ephriam, Josiah, Tim- 
 othy and their sister Phoebe Carpenter are the heirs to this estate. The large part of the Carpenters 
 descended from the above Timothy. I find that some of the descendants of the Lon,g Island Carpen- 
 ters settled in Vermont. One Oliver Carpenter settled at Dover and died at Brattleboro, Vt. in 1828. 
 
 I have the records of over 1,000 persons who claim to be heirs of the Carpenter estate, descendants 
 of the Long Island Carpenters, and over 100 belonging to the Rhode Island Carpenters. 
 
 Mr. Barker adds: — I have corresponded with the chief cashier of the Bank of England, and the 
 solicitor of Her Majesty's treasury, and I have assurances from them that they will render us all the 
 assistance in their power, when we are enabled to present our case in proper form. 
 
 It is claimed by many that after an estate has elapsed to the government that it is beyond recovery 
 which is a very erroneous idea. A law was enacted by Parliament in 1876, giving directions how to pro- 
 ceed to recover these lapsed estates. The English government holds itself responsible to the heirs to 
 the estates they hold for all time, and will pay them over when claimants establish their claims. Mr. 
 Barker in his letter of January 13th, 1881, says that Uncle Willard's grandfather, Ephriam, emigrated 
 from Sharon, and Woodstock, Connecticut, which is in the immediate vicinity of where Timothy Car- 
 penter who came from Long Island settled. 
 
REHOBOTH FAMILY. 86 1 
 
 Mr. Barker further says in his letter of March 28th : — I have received notice from New York that 
 the papers sent for had arrived, enclosing a bill of $62.50 charges, and I have sent my check by return of 
 mail for above amount and requesting my papers to be forwarded at once. 
 
 The papers came, and to my surprise, two wills was all that the package contained, which were of 
 no value to us; but with this package came a letter, that they were having copied eleven pieces of 
 parchment, 18 by 24 inches broad, also four sheets of stamped government paper, besides several mem- 
 orandums, which would soon be sent from London to New York. Other searches would be made if I 
 would furnish him with the points which I desired to be looked into. I gave them further instructions 
 requesting the parchments to be sent at once and not hold them. 
 
 A call for a meeting should be issued, signed by men of prominence located in different sections of 
 the several states, which would give character and influence to the undertaking. Carpenter heirs all 
 over the continent are interested equally alike, all should join in pushing this enquiry forward. It is 
 damaging to our cause for a few to join in a feeble effort, and in a short time get short of funds, become 
 discouraged and give the enterprise up. 
 
 This is a brief synopsis of letters sent at different times by Mr. W. C. Barker of Poughkeepsie, 
 New York. Perhaps it would be well enough for you to correspond with him. 
 
 I remain, yours truly, W. E. Burbank.

 The foregoing certificate was a present to the Compiler, sent in a letter, not solicited. 
 
 There was a Timothy and Ephraim, sons of William of Providence ; Timothy swore allegiance in 
 1671 and Ephraim was made a freeman in 1666. 
 
 There was a Josiah and Ephraim, sons of Ephraim the brother of Timothy, on Long Island. Eph- 
 raim bought land in 1696. Josias sold land in 1703, grandsons of WilHam of Providence, R. I. 
 William Carpenter of Providence had no estate except in real estate and that was willed to his sons. 
 Willard Carpenter is No. 4556. There was a Phebe, daughter of Silas and granddaughter of William of 
 Providence, R. I., who might have emigrated to Long Island. 
 
 Never have been able to learn of any emigration from England to Long Island in 1678. They might 
 have emigrated from New England to Long Island in that year. 
 
 The result of this association was the sending of James Usher, Esq., of New York, to England, and 
 on his return he reported that there was no such estate. He then printed in pamphlet form a genealogy 
 of the family, of what had come into his hands, which can be found in most of the public libraries. 
 
 Thus ended the third and last association.

More Corrections. 
 
 The compiler is very glad to make a correction in time to be inserted in the Memorial 
 though not in its regular order. Family No. 48 consists of two families, inserted as one. 
 The following is the correction : 
 
 John Carpenter, No. 85, son of Hope, No. 25, went from Jamaica, L. I. to Hopewell, N. 
 J., and died there; as appears by will dated Oct. i, 1744; proved April 2, 1745 in which he 
 mentions his wife Mary, the daughter of Maj. Ralph Hart. They had two sons and two 
 daughters, viz.; 
 
 324. n. John wash, about 1715 ; m. Mary Driver, May 2, 1743, daughter of M. (49) 
 
 Driver of Gloucester Co., N. J., at the First Presbyterian church at 
 Philadelphia. Resided in Gloucester Co., near Woodbury. 
 
 325-a. V. Hezekiah. 
 
 326-b. VI. Mary; m. John Hurst, an inn keeper at Pennington, N. J. 
 
 326-c. Vn. Sarah ; m. Augustus Morne or More. 
 
 49. 
 
 JOHN CARPENTER 324 of John 85, 
 
 • John 17, Hope 25, John 85. 
 
 Gen. 8. Children 6, b. probably in Gloucester Co., N. Y. 
 Dr. Franklin R. Carpenter of Deadwood, S. Dak., takes exception to the above. Claims 
 that John 324 had only three sons and one daughter and did not have a son Hezekiah. The 
 compiler will leave it for the Dr. to confirm his statement. 
 
 325. HI. Benjamin was b. about 1745 near Woodbury, N. J. After the close of the 
 
 revolutionary war, he moved to Fauquier, Va., now West Va., where his 2d 
 and 3d wives died. In 1797 he removed to Harrison Co., Va., now West Va.; 
 in 1804 to what is now Lawrence Co., Ohio, where he died in 1809. 
 Samuel was b. about 1745. 
 John. 
 
 Joseph. He is probably the father of Samuel H. Carpenter of Philadelphia, Pa. 
 Hezekiah. ('47) 
 
 Hannah ; m. Maj. Stephen Burrough. 
 Caroline ; m. Israel More. 
 It is evident that John No. 324, the father of the above family, after the death 
 of his father in 1745 setted in Gloucester Co., N. J., near Woodbury, the 
 residence of Judge Carpenter of the Philadelphia family. The Judge had 
 a seal which he used in letter writing; the impression on sealing wax, the 
 compiler has in his possession, which appears to be a copy of the Reho- 
 both coat of arms.
