I enjoyed the posting on Zeno Carpenter. Postings of family history like
this on this site helps to piece together Carpenter family lines so that one
day I may find the parentage of my GGGgrandfather John Carpenter that evades
me.

Notes for John Carpenter
DNA has not yet given us John b. ca 1804 parentage
needed are more Carpenters to take DNA tests
no proof of this but I have heard others mention a possible sister of John
ca 1804 to be a Lydia

why is wife listed as Olive?
there was a John and Olive in 1850 in Marshfield, VT with an Olive the right
age but different age for her husband John - could my John and Lois be
somewhere else and the children staying with relatives????

death between 7/30/1870 and March 17, 1880.
Notes for Lois (Louis) L. Grover
I have a copy of a certified copy Lois' death record from Readsboro, VT.
Although on 7/14/08 when I spoke with Annette the Readsboro Town Clerk she
says that there is no record of her death there???
It states Lois Carpenter age 72y 6 mo 22 days a widow was born in Guilford
and her father was Elijha Grover and her mother was Lydia. She died
3/17/1880 from "Engsifslos" (sp) in the town of Readsboro signed J. L.
Harrington town clerk.
