Have made a copy of this FGS to resend to the Carpenter Group. I have been
under the impression that these Carpenter(s) were from PA, but NOT SO!
Robert and Thomas were born in VA. I've found the family on the 1820, and
1830 OH census for Guernsey Co. OH. Every one of the children fit by age on
the 1820.

Joseph must have emigrated from Virginia to Ohio Territory about 1798,
based upon
the dates and places of birth for his children.
I do possess the 1820 and 1830 census records Ohio, but not the 1800,
and
1810 for Joseph Carpenter. Since he wasn't married in 1790, he probably
does not appear on the 1790 census anywhere.
