Hello All,
The inquiry I received regarding ZACHARIAH CARPENTER b.1805 GA turned out to be a
descendant who owns a Bible record !
So, please ""cancel my last inquiry"" regarding Henry Alan Carpenter.
Her Bible proves that the Henry A. Carpenter buried in New Mine Cemetery is indeed the son
of Zachariah Carpenter. In fact, Henry A. who married Eloise Redus was her great
grandfather. His middle name was Arlander. Charles T Carpenter was her great uncle and
went by the name "Tom." He was the Charles married to Julia Blackburn.
The Bible starts with Zach so there is no proof to tie him to the Thomas Carpenter c.1785
of Henry Co., but it does show Zach born in Georgia and migrating to Harrison Co TX and
marrying Margaret [Jordan] and Susan [Craver]. It lists all his children.
If my "theory" is correct that Zach was a son of Thomas, then Zach was a cousin
of the Reuben Carpenter Jr who migrated to Upshur County (whose son Augustus named sons
Henry & Charles).
Will have to see if my new found cousin can get her father to submit DNA. Wouldn't
that be wonderful !?
