I am researching my Carpenter line, which centers around Jeremiah Carpenter,
a Revolutionary War veteran who died in Erie County, New York in 1840. He
was the son of Timothy Carpenter, born in 1760 in Dutchess County, New York.
He lived at Pittstown in Albany (now Rensselaer) County, moving to Pompey in
Onondaga County New York, and in 1818, moved to Wales in Erie County. I
descend from his son Joseph, who moved to McHenry County, Illinois ca 1845.
Jeremiah married Jane Shears(?) and their known children were Jeremiah Jr.,
born ca 1783, Joseph, born ca 1785, Copeland, born ca 1787, Niles, born ca
1789, John, born ca 1791, William R., born ca 1793, Nancy, born ca 1795, a
girl, born ca 1797, George Washington, born February 2, 1801, and a tenth
born later. I would happily exchange info with anyone working on any of
these lines. Thanks.
