Hi my name is Connie Carpenter and I live in New York City. Recently, my
Aunt (Eleanor Carpenter Tallmadge) forwarded to me all of her research on
our family History. I've had a lot of fun going through the information and
I think I have caught the geneology bug. She did a lot of research on her
maternal side (Lovell) but not very much on her paternal side (Carpenter.)
I have picked up the quest to research our family back through the Carpenter
tree.
I came across this list and hope that this might help me find out more
information.
All of my Carpenter relatives are from England. My grandfather was born
there and we know where he and his father and his father's father were from.
I hope that I might tell you what I have found out so far and maybe somebody
knows something about my great-great-grand father.
My Grandfather was John T. Carpenter born 1872 in Little Tew England, died
1957, Canton Ct. USA - he had no brothers or sisters.
His father was John Gardiner Carpenter also of Little Tew England
John Gardiner Carpenter's father was George Carpenter I think also of little
Tew or vicinity in OXON. He married Mary Gardner (born 1821 and daught of
Thomas Gardner born 1796) on 8/1/1844. George Carpenter Sr. also had
another son George Thomas Carpenter (brother to John Gardiner Carpenter) who
was born 1846 and was the Rector of Thwaite in Suffolk from 1890 to 1910.
So I don't think I have any American relatives that are in my direct line of
descent, but maybe someone else traces their ancestry back to the father of
George Carpenter Sr. (for whom I don't have any birth information.)
I thank you in advance for helping me to get further into my geneology
research.
