Hi John,
My husband's line (yet unidentified Benjamin Carpenter (b.circa 1770?) has
Dutch connections, too.Tradition says Tim's wife's line was Dutch & Irish.
I've
always assumed that the Irish line was probably the Tuttle side and the Dutch
line was the Miller line (Mulder/Molenaar are Dutch variations of Miller).
Maybe
these connections will be the ones that eventually help us sort out which
Benjamin Carpenter is the father of Timothy, Barnard, Betsy, and ?.
