I had always expected to find a lot of Dutch intermarriage among the
Carpenters since so many of our ancestors lived in the NY area which had
been Niew Amsterdam, but the only possible one I find in my line is that my
grandfather's youngest sister married a Van Vleet in WI.

Dear Marcia & All,
Marcia has thrown me for a curve on this one. Does anyone recognize
him?
"John Carpenter married to Sarah Ostrander January 21, 1812 at the
Reformed Dutch Church, Wynantskill, Township of Greenbush, Rennselear
Co., New York."
The Dutch Reformed church had a lot of Dutch/German speakers in it in
the 1700s. I wonder if he was a Zimmerman? Or ...
Curious!
