Is he from the VA Carpenters whose yDNA matches that of the William of
Rehoboth Carpenters? A lot of them went to NC and SC

Estate of Reuben Carpenter
Edgefield County, South Carolina
Box 48 Pack 2066 Year 1842
Estate of Rheuben Carpenter (how name is spelled in record)
listed Rebecca Carpenter as widow of Rheuben Carpenter (1st Jan 1843)
paid her $215 for her share of estate
The residual estate of Reuben Carpenter, decd, was sold and the proceeds
were divided into ninths, distributed to the heirs as follows: Samuel
Butler and wife Jane received a 1/9th share of $62.16; Thomas Carpenter
received the same; Reuben Carpenter, same; James Gray and wife Mary of
Chickasaw Co. MS., same; Samuel Stalnaker and wife Abigail, same; George
Hancock and wife Elizabeth, same; Martha Carpenter, same; Heirs of Ellen
Bardon, Thomas S. and Mary Ann Bardon, same; Heirs of Frances Hill, Mary Ann
and Unity Hill, same.
By some of the receipts in this packet, it would seem Reuben died between
1840 - 1841
Note: Have copies of this estate file (12 pages),
will be more than happy to share, the copies are on 11 x 17 paper
will shrink them so I can scan them and put them on Ancestry
or contact me with request for copies
Thanks
