Wayne,
I did some online census research and came up with the following (I have
included some items you probably have for comparison with certain ones you
probably don't):

1900 U.S. Census, DuBois Twp, Washington Co., Illinois, pp. 3B-4A:
Carpenter, George, b. Aug. 1870, aged 30, b. Indiana, both par. b. Indiana
[either birth year or age is wrong (census's effective date 1 June; household
enumerated 4 June)]
Carpenter, Katherine, wife, b. Aug. 1869, aged 30, b. Illinois, fa. b.
Ireland, mo. b. Tennessee [sic]
Carpenter, Joseph, son, b. Feb. 1897, Illinois
1880 U.S. Census, Bald Hill Twp, Jefferson Co., Illinois, p. 413:
McFalls, Danial [sic], 76, b. Ohio
McFalls, Feeby, 70, wife, b. Ohio
McFalls, Susan, 41, daughter, b. Indiana
Carpenter, George, 10, grandson, b. Indiana, both par. b. Indiana

McFall, Phebe, 60, b. Ohio
McFall, Susana, 30, b. Indiana
McFall, Margret E., 21, b. Indiana
McFall, George C., 9/12, b. Indiana in Aug. [1869 (census's effective date 1
June)]
1870 U.S. Census, Denison Twp, Lawrence Co. Illinois, p. 71:
Sheridan, Cornelias [sic], 40, b. Ireland
Sheridan, Hannah, 32, b. Illinois [also b. Illinois in 1880 census, Denison,
Lawrence Co., Ill., p. 104]
Sheridan, Mary, 10, b. Illinois
Sheridan, Rose, 8, b. Illinois
Sheridan, James, 7, b. Illinois
Sheridan, Kate, 2, b. Illinois [in 1880 census, she is Sarah C., the C
presumably for Catherine]
Sheridan, Thomas, 2?/12, b. Illinois
1870 U.S. Census, Union Twp, Howard Co., Indiana, p. 516:
Carpenter, Jno. [sic], 59, b. Ohio
Carpenter, J. C., 54, b. Kentucky
Carpenter, Simon, 20, b. Indiana
Carpenter, James, 17, b. Indiana
Carpenter, Electa, 12, b. Indiana
Carpenter, Mary, 15, b. Indiana
Carpenter, Nate, 9, b. Indiana
McFall, Sam, 18, b. Indiana
McFall, Simon, 14, b. Indiana
1860 U.S. Census, Union Twp, Howard Co., Indiana, p. 697:
McFall, Daniel, 56, b. Ohio
McFall, Phoebe, 50, b. Ohio
McFall, Susan, 21, b. Ohio
McFall, Margaret, 11, b. Ohio
1860 U.S. Census, Union Twp, Howard Co., Indiana, p. 664:
Carpenter, Jas. [sic], 49, b. Ohio
Carpenter, Charity, 44, b. Kentucky
Carpenter, Isaac, 13, b. Indiana
Carpenter, John, 18, b. Indiana
Carpenter, James [sic; should be Simon], 10, b. Indiana
Carpenter, James, 7, b. Indiana
Carpenter, Mary, 5, b. Indiana
Carpenter, Electa, 2, b. Indiana
McFall, Isabelle, 13, b. Indiana
McFall, Simon, 5, b. Indiana
McFall, Andrew, 15, b. Indiana
Based on the foregoing, it appears that your George C. Carpenter was the son
of Susan McFall (or perhaps her sister Margaret or an unidentified sister
who died in childbirth), daughter of Daniel and Phoebe McFall. Whether or not
George's father was ever in the picture is uncertain (as a baby, George's
surname was McFall, as was his probable mother's), but there's a good chance he
was a member of the Carpenter household listed above (1860, 1870).

Trying to find any information on George C. Carpenter b. 12 Aug 1870 in IN
as to who his parents are. He married Kate Sheridan in Washington Co, IL and
they moved to Arkansas, but I have not been able to trace his back.
