I am researching WILLIAM M. CARPENTER b 26 Feb 1825 in Orange
Co.,Indiana. His first marriage was to REBECCA BENHAM, 1848 in Greene Co.,
Indiana. They had two children, ELIZABETH CARPENTER and JOHN C. CARPENTER
(who married Caroline Bell Meredith)
Rebecca died 1856 and William married Catherine (Edith-Mary) KRUZAN/CRUZAN
1857 in Jasper Co, Illinois. They had a number of children:
ERMINDA CARPENTER b 1859 in Jasper Co. ILL.
HANNAH CARPENTER b 1862 Jasper Co. Illinois
DELLA CARPENTER
CLARA (Cordelia) CARPENTER b 1864 Jasper Co. Illinois
MELISSA LIZZIE CARPENTER 1865 Jasper Co. Illinois
MILLIE CARPENTER (b. between 1868-1871) Indiana (another source says Jasper
Co.,Illinois)
HARRIET HATTIE CARPENTER b 1871 Jasper Co, Illinois
ESTELLA CARPENTER b 1873 Jasper Co. Illinois
EMMALINE CARPENTER b 1875 Jasper Co. Illinois
FRANK CARPENTER b 1879 Jasper Co. Illinois

I just recently discovered, after 4 years of searching, that father of
William was JAMES "Josie" CARPENTER b around 1800, married 1823 to MARY
WHITE in Scott Co., Indiana.
