Hello Dawn,
Most of the old time genealogists are not on
Ancestry.com because it is a
pay site and that the information on it can not be easily corrected. Once
errors get on, they tend to stay on and get repeated over and over.
Regarding your great grandfather, Cassius M. Carpenter, would you be so kind
to provide his birth date or approximate birth date, birth place, marriage
or even death date and place? The more information you can provide the
better someone can do a search.
I do not have a Cassius M. Carpenter in my main database, but others might
have that name. See example search below.

Would love to connect with the Carpenter family from Guernsey County,
Ohio.
My father is Dent Robert Carpenter, his father was Dent Mott Carpenter and
his father was Cassius M. Carpenter. I am on
Ancestry.com under the title
"Whitley/Carpenter Family History - From Ohio to Tennessee". You may
contact me directly at whitleygenealogy(a)knology.net if you wish, but it
would be best thru rootsweb so others may share info too.
