If Thomas Carpenter was born circa 1808 in Fleming KY, then his parents should be in the
census of
1810. Here is what pops up for Fleming County census records on Carpenters:
1810 CENSUS
Kids -Adults -Total
Hary [Henry] Carpenter Flemingsburg, Fleming, Kentucky 4 2 6
John Carpenter Flemingsburg, Fleming, Kentucky 5 2 7
Richard Carpenter Flemingsburg, Fleming, Kentucky 1 2 3
William Carpenter Flemingsburg, Fleming, Kentucky 4 1 6
Unfortunately, all earlier census records were burned. But this should give you a good
starting point for research.
By the way, on
Ancestry.com there are many family files submitted for the Thomas who
married Nancy Connard/Conrad.
Almost all of them reflect a birth date for Thomas of Feb 25, 1808 in KY but don't
specify Fleming.
