There are three John Carpenters on the Tax Assessment List
of Goshen, Orange County:
1. John Carpenter (blacksmith) District 10
2. John Carpenter (saddler) District 1
3. John Carpenter (stiller) District 7
Also on the list are Moses Carpenter, Ruth Carpenter,
Increase Carpenter, and Moses Coe.
Can the three Johns be identified as to spouse, etc?
Was Ruth Carpenter the mother of any of them?
I would appreciate answers to the identification of the
three Johns.

I can get back to Middlebury, Tioga, Pa. 1850 census. Betsy is listed
as dwelling 116, family 120. Wife of Stephen A. Thompson. Civil War
records for Martin Van Buren Thompson (her son) gives us this
information also. How do I connect to the right Carpenter family. Same
census list Jedediah Carpenter (age 74) and wife Sarah (age 72) as
dwelling 121 family 125. Wouldn't you expect this to be her father.
Also same census has Samual Carpenter also in dwelling 121 he is age 26
(grandson of Jedediah?) James Carpenter (age 45) is dwelling 122 family
126 Jedediah Carpenter (age 48) is dwelling is part of Locey, dwelling
85, family 89. (Alonzo Losey m. Maria or Mariah Carpenter) Elizabeth
Carpenter Thompson is age 43. Looks to me that Elizabeth age 43, James
45, and Jedidiah 48 are all brothers and sister. How do I prove this?
Thanks for any help you can give me.
