Hello Scott,
Your line is a mystery. Where your ancestor Henry Carpenter is from, is
really unknown. I have a 1808 and a 1812 date for his birth. And while TN is
often noted in the various Census records, there is a hint of VA from one of
his children.
I am sure that Y-DNA testing could help narrow down which Carpenter line you
are on. If you have questions after reviewing the Carpenter Cousins Y-DNA
web page, please feel free to contact me off list.
Below is what I have on your line. It is not much. Would you be interested
in updating it?

Subject: [CARPENTER] Looking for Parents of Henry CARPENTER of Virginia,b.
21 Aug 1808
My names is Russell Scott Carpenter, son of Robert Dale Carpenter (of
Ohio),
son of Floris W. Carpenter, son of William H. Carpenter, son of Eli
Carpenter, son of Henry Carpenter (of Virginia?).
Most of these CARPENTERs are from Wood Country, OH. I believe Henry
Carpenter is the one who moved from out of state to Ohio during his
lifetime
between 1808 and 7 Apr 1884.
World War II and the US Navy moved my dad from Ohio to Texas. I have many
names of the ancestors of Floris "Flo" W. Carpenter if people need help or
leads to check out. Thanks for supporting this list.
Sincerely,
Scott
