Hi Cousins,
It's been a while since I asked for any help but a new mystery has shown
itself in my tree.
I have had a photograph in a frame of a young boy circa 1920-30's For years
I thought is was a picture of my father Jack L. Carpenter. The boy pictured
is the spitting image of other photos of my dad so I never questioned it.
The other day my wife was handling the photo and frame when the back fell
off and low and behold there was a name on the back. The child is identified
as Jack William Carpenter, son of William Carpenter. Here is the mystery.
Thus far I have not found any mention of a Jack William or William Carpenter
with a son named Jack in all my research. I don't have a date for the
picture. The above date is just a guess. I have found only one mention of a
Jack William Carpenter from the Ohio death records on Ancestry but none of
the other information fits in with my tree. I am hoping that one of you may
have some information on Jack or his father that I can track down. Thanks
for any help.
Dennis L. Carpenter
