There are several Owen Carpenters in the South. There are also several
Staley Carpenters. I, too, am a descendant of Owen Carpenter from Black
Hawk, MS. His daughter , Sarah , married James Minyard, and their dau.,
Margaret "Maggie" married James Latner Lagrone lst and her cousin, John
Carpenter 2nd. They were all in Carrol Co., MS and then in Indianola, MS.
Then Maggie and John Carpenter moved with most of her Lagrone children and
her John C. Carpenter son to Drew/Ashley Co. AR on the line.
In Drew Co., AR, there is another Carpenter line that is actually the same
bunch, but they had come over earlier. We call their first immigrant Flat
Creek Owen because he is buried in the Flat Creek Cemetery in Ft. Hill, AR,
in Ashley Co. There are several Owens and Staleys as his descendants in
the Drew/Ashley area on the line.
I have a cousing from a collateral line that has a website on these
Carpenters. His name is Kenneth Jackson.I will give you his email address
as his site will explain our immediate Carpenter line.
Happy Hunting and hopes to tie to this Owen Carpenter.
