Some time ago Irene and I visited the library in Sullivan County, Indiana
doing a bit of research. The librarian there was extremely helpful and
cooperative. When we returned home I sent her a generous check in
appreciation. That must have motivated her to spend even more time on our
ancestors. As a result, she has sent me copies of several documents relative
to my search. Some of this you may already have, but I will relay them
anyways. They are in no particular order.
In the 1900 Census of Sullivan County, Indiana - Jackson Township - Page

Subject: [CARPENTER] Bell County, Kentucky CARPENTER's
Hello fellow list members,
Happy holidays to all!
Once again I have got myself into diggin into the elusive ones from the
Yelverton CARPENTER lines and am hoping to gather some additional
information on a couple of strays which I believe know where they belong,
but need some additional bits and pieces that possibly someone from the line
may be able to share.
At the moment I am very interested in George CARPENTER born abt. 1861
Indiana and died Nov. 1, 1935 Bell County, Kentucky. He married Aug. 10,
1884 in Rockcastle County, Ky., to Mary (Mollie) A. KIRBY born abt. May
1866. Their children:
Ed CARPENTER born Nov. 24, 1866 Rockcastle Co., Ky married Daisy JOHNS?
Charles CARPENTER born Mar. 3, 1888 Laurel Co., Ky married Lula POTEET
Robert CARPENTER born Nov. 1, 1889 Laurel Co., Ky died Nov. 8, 1918 Bell
Co., Ky
Fred CARPENTER born Jan. 16, 1893 Rockcastle Co., Ky married 1st Ethel May
SHIELDS married 2nd Cordie/Cora TAYLOR
Mamie CARPENTER born Dec. 1895 Laurel Co., Ky married 1st Eslie Hail/Hale
married 2nd Charles ROOP
Guy CARPENTER born Feb. 24, 1897 Laurel Co., Ky married Cora WOODWARD
Dewey CARPENTER born Feb. 12, 1899 Laurel Co., Ky married 1st Loretta HART
married 2nd UNKNOWN
George and Mollie were in Laurel County, Kentucky during the 1900 census and
also living in close prox. was William and Anna Carpenter who I believe was
George's brother. Seems as though William and Anna died between 1900-1910 as
their children were found in 1910 census somewhat scattered...two found in
an Orpanage in Louisville, Kentucky.
Thank you for your time and look forward in hearing from anyone....
Laurie Carpenter
