James,
I sent you a list of 40 so odd names off list as an attachment.
When making a query it is always best to provide enough information for a
search to be done. Remember the who, what, where, how and why? Get most of
those covered and it really helps.
Please see the information below and let us know a few more details so we as
a group can help you out.

Hello,
I am searching Schoharie County, New York Carpenters in the early to mid
1800s.
Specifically I am looking for,
John Carpenter - born about 1804 New York and his wife
Mary Carpenter - born about 1803 New York
His known sons are,
Henry Carpenter - b. abt 1824 NY and who may have married a Charity by 1850.
George Carpenter - b. abt 1829 NY
David Carpenter - b. ?? NY - not much info
Charles Carpenter? - b. abt 1845 in , Schoharie, NY
Any help in identifying them and their ancestry would be welcome.
signed X
I referenced real people from the 1850 US Census and the 1855 NY State
Census - Whether or not these are your Carpenters, I do not know. But, the
goal was to show how you can prepare a better request.
