Next, I'd like to share this letter with everyone (This letter was
written
in 1962 by Joseph A. Carpenter of Rehoboth, Mass., to Lewis N. Carpenter,
compiler of "Samuel Carpenter & His Descendants, by Edward & Gen. Louis
Carpenter, pub 1912".) It comes from the first issue of TheCarpenter Family
News-Journal:
Thanks so much for the letter!!! It would be great if more of
these could
be found! I've added it to my "notes" section under Joseph's listing in
FTM.
I also haven't seen the book you mention but will look for it now!
It's great to have all the names but so much better if we could actually
get to know "who" they were.
Joseph would be my 5th cousin 4 times removed :)
It has brought up a question though, in the letter Joseph mentions his
oldest brother Frank, although I have 14 children listed, which Joseph also
mentions in his letter,I have no Frank ???
My information comes from the Amos Bugbee Book...
Thanks again,
Chuck
He did have lots of brothers and sisters!
